We both freeze, turning to find none other than Romero, walking toward us. He looks intense, and Maya's body gets tense beside me.

"There's something we really need to discuss."

"Romero." I keep my voice steady. "We were just about to..."

"I know, I know. Leaving early." His voice has an edge to it. This is not looking good. "Before you go, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, of course. Is it about the meeting tomorrow morning?" I ask, trying to gauge his reaction.

"Actually, yes."

I brace myself for a reprimand. But instead, a smile forms on his face. "You know, I've been thinking about your proposal all evening."

"That's great." Maya's grip on my hand tightens. "Does that mean you're—"

"Yes, Hunter, I've decided to take the deal." I look at Maya to see her reaction. She's trying to play it cool. "Call off the meeting tomorrow and take the day off."

"Thank you, sir." I shake his hand. "You won't regret this."

"I know I won't, Hunter." He pats me on the shoulder. "Enjoy your evening, you two." He turns and walks back into the crowded party.

Maya and I exchange another glance, before bursting into relieved laughter.

"Well, that was a surprise."

"Now, it’s really time to celebrate." I pull her hand, guiding her to the car. "Ready for dessert?" I wink at her.

"I always am." She smiles back at me.

The night sky is lit up with stars as we make our way to the yacht. I take Maya's hand, intertwining our fingers together. I can feel her looking up at me with desire in her eyes.

As we step onto the yacht, the cool breeze of the ocean hits, the scent of salt and sea filling my nose. Crew members are bustling around taking care of their tasks to wrap up for the night.

"Follow me." I take Maya's hand and lead her down a secluded corridor.

The sound of the waves crashing against the yacht in the background sets a sensual atmosphere. I pull her toward me, my arms wrapping around her from behind. I start kissing her neck as she leans her head back. My hands explore her body, tracing her figure, eliciting a soft moan from her lips.

"Shh..." I whisper a playful warning, reminding her to keep this a secret from the crew. I turn her around to face me as I grab her face and pull her to me. Our lips meet in a passionate but silent kiss.

Our kiss deepens, pure passion between us. "Maya," I groan against her lips, "you drive me absolutely wild.”

"I can say the same about you."

I pull her closer, my hands roaming over her curves. "Your lips...they taste like heaven."

"And your kisses," her fingers trace the line of my jaw, "they feel like sin."

Our lips meet again. The taste of her, the feel of her, the scent of her, all of it sends me spiraling.

We keep our sounds of pleasure hushed; our passion hidden within the secluded spot. The thrill of our secret. The fear of getting caught. The intensity of the moment. It starts to build.

The echo of footsteps down the corridor has us pulling away from each other. A crew member comes walking rounds the corner, and we shift from our intimate embrace. Maya tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear and laughs at a joke I hadn't told.

"Hahaha... Hunter, you're so funny." She widens her eyes at me as if it was my fault we almost got caught.

I lean against the wall, attempting to look like we are in casual conversation.

The crew member nods at us before he continues on his path. Once he's out of sight, we break into suppressed laughter.
