Claudia shut her eyes briefly as the friction turned to something else, something pulsatile. She opened them and looked straight at him as she lifted her hips one more time. ‘I would never do that to you.’
Even though they could never be, she needed to know that he knew that.
Luke thrust. ‘I know.’
She lifted. ‘Do you?’
He thrust. ‘Yes.’
Claudia groaned as the tingling returned and the pulses grew and expanded, spreading from her belly button to her hips, her thighs, her buttocks, and she moved quicker, more urgently, trying to ease the glorious burn, not able to talk any more, only able to move up and down, up and down, up and down.
If she talked she might just say too much in this state of sexual insanity.
Luke sensed her urgency, felt it echo deep inside himself. He met her stroke for stroke, her lovely brea**sts taunting him with each one, giving her what she didn’t even know she wanted, as his own orgasm pulled at his self-control, pulsing up from the root of his erection, fraying the world around him and when he couldn’t take it any more he curled up, sliding his hands to the small of her back and sucking a nipple deep into his mouth.
‘Luke!’ she cried out, spearing her fingers into his hair, adjusting to their new position easily, riding him without missing a beat.
‘Yes,’ she said, ‘yes, yes, yes.’
And then they both shattered together.
SIXTEEN
The telephone jangled right near her ear the next morning dragging Claudia out of the deepest depth of slumber with all the finesse of a jackhammer. She reached for it automatically.
‘Hello?’ she mumbled, her heart racing.
‘Claude?’
Avery? ‘Yes.’
‘What are you doing in Luke’s room at six in the morning?’
Claudia’s heart raced a little more as her surroundings filtered in. Same-looking hotel room as hers but this one had the addition of a large naked man spooned around her, his hand low down on her belly, his mouth pressed to her shoulder blade.
Last night. Luke’s apology. A bottle of wine.
The Love Boat.
The lovemaking.
Crap.
‘Oh...er...we were just...having another...planning meeting...’ Claudia winced at the obvious lie.
‘You sound like I’ve just woken you up,’ Avery said, her voice laced with scepticism.
‘No, just tired,’ Claudia assured and faked a yawn. ‘Didn’t really sleep much last night.’
And that was the truth. They’d been awake long enough to use the third condom before falling into an exhausted heap together.
‘Well, you’re supposed to be down here with us having breakfast, remember? We have to leave at seven-thirty.’
Claudia stifled a groan. She remembered. She’d only agreed to come away if they got back as early as possible on Sunday morning so they could have everything shipshape for the reopening of their doors on Monday.
But that was before her and Luke’s wild, three-condom sexual spree. ‘Sorry. Give us ten minutes. We’ll be straight down.’
Claudia hung up. ‘Let me guess,’ Luke said in his deep voice, all sexy and rumbly from sleep. ‘Avery.’
‘Yes.’ His hand moved from her belly to her breast, his lips buzzed her neck and Claudia shut her eyes briefly as her body flowered beneath his touch. His thumb grazed a nipple and it felt so damn good.
But they didn’t have time for this.
‘No, stop,’ Claudia said, scrambling out of bed, far away from his magical mouth and his sinful hands. ‘We have ten minutes to get down to the dining room,’ she said, hunting around for her clothes.
Luke watched the view as she bent over to pluck her discarded clothes off the floor. Predictably, his body stirred.
‘Don’t just lie there,’ she said as she threw her dress over her head, not bothering with her underwear, and his stirrings turned to a full-blown erection at the thought of her being completely commando. ‘We have eight minutes to get to the dining room and I need to go and get changed.’
‘Can’t,’ he said. ‘Not yet. I have this swelling problem.’ He peeled back the sheet to show her.
Claudia swallowed as her gaze zeroed in on him. Dear God. He was magnificent. Thick and large. His erection dominated the flatness of his belly with its potency.
Luke hardened further at her frank appreciation. ‘Maybe you could help me with it?’
Claudia almost groaned out loud. If only she hadn’t been so bloody gung-ho about getting back to Crescent Cove, Avery wouldn’t have rung trying to find her and she could have all that magnificent male hardness inside her right now.
Claudia shut her eyes to block out both the mental and actual picture. ‘I doubt it’s terminal,’ she said as she turned her back on him, stuffing her feet into her shoes. ‘Seven minutes.’ She grabbed her key off the nearby bench. ‘See you down there.’
