“Now…” Demyen shifts me on his lap, spreading me wider with his knees and gently wrapping his free hand around my neck. “Be my good girl and come on my hand.”

That’s all it takes. I’m off and exploding as soon as he gives me permission. The orgasm lasts an eternity, but when he finally lifts his glistening fingers to my lips, I don’t hesitate. I wrap my lips around one and suck it into my mouth, stroking my tongue around to clean myself off him. I look him in the eyes as I do it, wanting him to see how much I truly want this with him.

“Fuck,” is all he manages to breathe.

“If we have time…”

Demyen grins. “Oh, trust me. If it was just you and me here, I’d have you over that coffee table already. Hell, I’d have you screaming in bed by now.”

I suddenly hope this isn’t the only trip we ever take together. Because I very much want both those scenarios. “But?—”

“But there are some talks I’m just not ready to have with a five-year-old.”

I grin and kiss him again. “Want me to ‘circle back’ later?”

“Again and again and again, baby.”

DEMYEN

“I thought you said we’re staying at a ‘little place in Fiji,’” Clara accuses as she stands next to me on the charter boat.

I shrug. “‘Little’ is just a matter of perspective.”

Right then, the boat pulls up to the dock of the literal private island, where the villa resort sprawls across ten acres of lush tropical paradise. As expected, our own private staff awaits us, including my hand-selected guards who flew in a day early to prepare for our arrival.

Willow gasps and waves at one of the guards. “Mako! You’re here!”

Mako breaks out of his usual stoic mask to wave back at his new favorite person. “Hi, little lady! How was your flight?”

“Good!” She grins and bounces on her feet. “I got to watch a movie and eat popcorn and then I slept a lot.”

He laughs and holds a hand out to help Clara and then Willow out of the boat once we’re tied down. “Sounds like a perfect journey.”

I can’t fault my once-toughest guard for melting into mush around the kid. He used to be stationed outside her room during the day preciselybecausehe was my most stoic and unmovable soldier.

She turned him into a cupcake in no time.

He falls behind the awestruck entourage to update me. “We swept the perimeter and checked the whole place for bugs, sir. It’s clean and it’s suited up for our use.”

Translation: cameras fuckingeverywhere.

“Any word from the States?” I mean to ask about Martin specifically, but I don’t want his name staining the first five minutes of our stay here.

Mako shakes his head. “Not a peep from anyone. No reported activity, either. My last check-in was an hour ago and our eyes on Patterson confirmed he’s working desk duty at the precinct and hasn’t made any significant financial moves.”

“Good.”

“Also, I have this…” He pulls out a slip of paper. “I’ll warn you: it’s not much. Our rogue M.E. has done a damn good job staying hidden. But I can confirm you’ll want to look in Suva and work the rounds there before hitting any other spots or islands in the vicinity.”

I take the paper. It’s a set of coordinates to narrow down the starting point of my search. It’s better than flying blind, that’s for sure. “Sounds good. Have security close in ranks here. I’ll be leaving in a few.”

Mako nods and quickly departs to carry out my orders.

Clara and Willow are already through the front door, spinning in place as they take everything in. Their awe and wonder at what I consider normal for my world does make me stop and appreciate it a little more.

I clear my throat. “There are a few house rules we need to follow while we’re here.” Clara grabs Willow’s hand so she’ll pay attention as I explain. “I’m not going to stop you from sightseeing. But I am going to stop you from going alone.” I nod to where Mako is standing outside talking with another guard. “If you want to go anywhere, you find Mako or another guard and you don’t leave until there’s at least three of them going with you.”
