“You see it,” he said, indicating the pallet he had made in the sand surrounded by baskets full of food and water and wine.

“What about that brunch your mother had planned?” I asked.

“I don’t think we’ll be getting off of this island in time to make it,” he replied, running his tongue along the inside of his bottom lip.

My breath caught in my chest before the tension moved lower in my body, settling into a pulse between my thighs. I knew Luke was trying to make up for the night before, for how his mother acted toward me. The first time I had met Luke’s father at the Spring Ball at the High Court, I had felt like I’d undergone, but passed, some kind of test. When I met Luke’s mother, Courtney, last night, I knew that I’d undergone some kind of test and had, without a doubt, failed.

It was clear to me that no matter my accomplishments, my pedigree would never match that of anyone Courtney Bellamy deemed worthy of her son. I may have won over his father, but it was evident to me that I could not accomplish any such feat with Luke’s mother.

Turning to Luke, I began, “Luke, you don’t have to—”

“Don’t take it personally, Al,” he said, heading me off. “No one except perhaps the Queen of Valencia herself would be good enough for my mother.”

“I’m not trying to—”

I was going to say I wasn’t trying to lock him down. I wasn’t trying to even compete with Karina Dempsey or anyone of her caliber. I knew my family didn’t have connections with ports pivotal to the war effort, like House Dempsey, to offer Luke’s family. I knew that I didn’t have a title or wealth to my name or anything that would ever make me a worthy partner for Luke.

But Luke pressed his lips to mine, shutting me up, pressing so hard that I felt my teeth against the inside of my lips before I gave in to his need and opened my mouth to him, allowing his tongue to slide into my mouth and then sweep along my teeth.

I forgot what we were talking about. He pulled the tie behind my back, relieving me of my bikini top and throwing it to my left. Then Luke sank to his knees in front of me. He looked up at me, his big hands grasping my hips. I pounced on him, pushing him to his back in the sand. The palms of his hands landed in the sand, bracing for our impact.

I lined myself up with the hardness poking through his shorts as his gritty hands came up to my breasts. I placed my hands over his, enticing him to squeeze my breasts harder as I rode the length of him through our minimal clothing. I threw my head back, but one of his hands made its way to my throat, lightly grasping it to draw my attention back to him.

We were both thinking the same thing.The sand was going to be a problem. I rose from him, topless, and turned toward the water, untying the bottoms of my bathing suit as I did so. Luke followed me, kicking off his bottoms and catching up with me as the water began to lap against the top of my thighs.

“Where do you think you’re going?” he questioned.

“Wherever I so damn please,” I quipped.

He wrapped his hands around my waist, pulling me into the line of his body. I wrapped my legs around his torso as he sank into the water.

“Go ahead. Try to tell me this isn’texactlywhere you want to be,” he teased.

He guided my middle toward him until he found me slick and ready for him. The tip of him rubbed against me before I angled my hips and tried to drive myself down onto him. His hands on my hips stifled my efforts.

“That’s what I thought,” he said, chuckling at my visible frustration.

He lowered me down onto him slowly, inch by inch. When at last I was seated against him, I arched my back. He took the opportunity to pull my hair back and bite at my neck. The waves crashed against us, causing us to buoy slightly, but his grip on my thighs left no chance that I would drift even an inch from him.

I closed my eyes as he moved inside of me. I could feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. I allowed the feel of Luke and the sound of the waves to consume me as the throbbing inside of me climbed. He crashed into me over and over again as the waves crashed against our intertwined bodies. I wanted Luke to feel, to taste, the exact moment I lost myself in him. I licked his pouty lower lip, and he opened his mouth to me.

I felt the crest of my very first wave of pleasure begin to overtake me. His tongue swept my mouth as the wave of my orgasm pounded through me. I didn’t know how it was possible, but each time was better than the last with Luke. As my all-consuming pleasure coursed through me, I could no longer tell where my body ended and his began. I was more than complete when I was with him. I became one with Luke.

“Open your eyes, Al,” he said softly, allowing me to pull my mouth away.

I languidly opened my eyes.

“Luke!” I exclaimed.

I didn’t have words for what I saw. Luke was glowing. Not in the usual way where his smile and dazzling eyes made it seem as though a glow hung about him. He wasactuallyglowing. A golden aurora emanated from his skin, making him even more beautiful than I thought possible.

He gave me a big smile that made his eyes dance with joy, and then he grasped me by the back of my neck, pulling my lips to his once more. The unfamiliar feel of the full force of his magic washed over me as he moved in and out of me with the rhythm of the waves. It was like we were in a little dome in the middle of the ocean. It felt as though everything was toned down but focused. I could still feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, but the heat of the day was kept at bay. I could still feel the waves lapping around us, but the movement of the water was gentle and rolling. The noises around us quieted until the ocean sounds of waves crashing and birds cawing were distant and the sounds of Luke’s breathing and the slapping of our bodies together in the water were sharp.

A tingling sensation began to overtake my body. The sensation began beneath my skin, overtaking my body in the same way that an involuntary shiver consumes a body as the cold settles in. Except I wasn’t cold, and instead of a shiver, it was the precipice of pleasure that overtook my body. The orgasm dragged on. I clung to Luke as the anticipatory tingling immediately returned and concentrated where Luke thrusted, causing me to break over him once more. The sensation returned again and as he threatened to consume me for a fourth time in a row, I begged for a reprieve.

“Luke!” I gasped. My eyes fluttered open, and I tried to gather myself, to find my way back to reality.

But then Luke thrust into me once more, impaling me on his hard length, and I collapsed into the endless abyss again. I threw my head back as he lost himself deep inside of me. In my half-dazed state, I realized that I was glowing, too, now. We were an impossibly bright ball of light in the middle of the clear blue water. People must be able to see us from miles away.
