He cups my face. “I still don’t think you believe me. Maybe actions can prove what words can’t.” And then he lowers his lips to mine.
Chapter Thirty-Two
Alex
Although I don’t normally throw my money around, I’m glad I chose this place, because Missie is clearly wowed by the villa, and I’m human enough to want to impress her.
Today she’s wearing incredibly short denim shorts and a lemon-colored tee that clings to her breasts, and she looks even more appetizing than the food I know is going to be spectacular. She’s like my very own tasting menu, and half of me is starving and wants to eat her in one bite, while the other half wants to take my time and savor her, from the roots of her hair to the tips of her toes.
I should let her settle in… maybe have a dip in the spa or go for a swim… or even have a nap for a while as I only had four hours’ sleep… but I’m too keyed up, buzzing with energy, thrilled to have her all to myself for two days. Anyway, she said I should be honest with her about sex, didn’t she? And the truth is that I want her, right now.
I settle for kissing her slowly, keeping her up against me with a hand pressed to the base of her spine, while she threads her fingers through my hair and murmurs her approval as my mouth slants across hers. Ahhh… she tastes sweet, of champagne and strawberries, the taste of summer. In fact, that’s what she’s like—a snippet of a New Zealand December, with the hot, sultry weather, the excitement of Christmas, and the hope that the new year brings, all wrapped up in a beautiful package.
“Mmm,” she murmurs, moving her hips and obviously feeling my erection. “Already?”
“I’m like a kid at the beach. I can’t be bothered to put on sun lotion and a hat. I want to jump right into the water.”
She chuckles, her tongue darting out to meet mine. “Don’t you think we should wait until it gets dark? Hey, if we wait until nearly midnight, we could have sex that lasts a whole year.”
“That sounds like a great idea. We’ll definitely do that.” I slide my hand down to the bottom of her shorts and run my fingers along the top of her thigh.
“Alex, you must be tired, honey, don’t you want a rest? I’ll still be here in a few hours.”
I groan, brushing my lips up her jaw to her ear. “Don’t make me wait. You’re so soft, and you smell so good…”
“But—”
“Sex now, and then sex again later. I promise.”
“Oh! In that case, go ahead.”
I laugh, take her glass from her hand, and put it with mine on the counter. Then I pick her up, wrap her legs around me, and carry her through to the bedroom.
The sliding doors here are wide open, filling the room with the sound of the waves and the smell of the ocean. It’s about four p.m. now, and the sun is a long way from setting, but it’s starting to head toward the hills, and the waves are topped with gold.
I lower Missie onto her back on the bed, then stretch out on top of her. I kiss her for a long, long time, enjoying the taste of her, and the feel of her soft mouth against mine. Her sighs make me thrust against her slowly, arousing us both.
“Alex…” she murmurs, “you’re driving me crazy…”
“That’s the idea.” I move back and pull her up so I can take off her T-shirt. Next I unbutton her shorts and remove those, leaving her phone on the bedside table, and then finally her bra and knickers join the growing pile on the floor.
“Now I know how turned on you are,” she teases, “not bothering to fold up the clothes.”
“That’s the last thing on my mind.” I watch her lie back, and I tug my top off and let that drop, then take off my jeans, placing my phone beside hers.
“This feels very decadent.” She stretches as she looks out at the ocean. The sunshine pouring through the windows has painted her skin a buttery yellow.
“The best sex always is.” Starting at her neck, I begin to kiss down her body.
“It’s probably the word I’d use to describe making love with you,” she says.
“Decadent?”
“Mmm. You make me feel wicked.”
I kiss over her collarbone and down to her breast. “You are wicked, Missie.Wicked as. Even in church, you made my thoughts turn to sinful things.”
She buries her fingers in my hair and sighs. “I’ve always been such a good girl.”
