She steals my breath with a timid smile. “I bet you know all about that.”
“My success didn’t happen overnight.” I lean into her, close enough for our noses to brush. “I’ve had many years to work on it.”
Kate snorts, and the sound is as cute as it is amusing.
A knot forms in my chest when she goads, “Thank you for the reminder that you’reold.”
Murmurs from the workers above us fade as they flock toward the front of the ship, leaving Kate and I alone with just the sound of the rolling ocean and the tang of salt in the breeze.
The air becomes too thick to get a proper breath.
Her teeth nibbling on that bottom lip is more tempting than her enveloping scent.
“What did Mr. Vance have to say?”
I blink. I’d completely forgotten about him, or the reason we’re out here to begin with.
“He offered me the promotion,” I supply, throat tightening when she throws her arms around me.
“That’s amazing! I’m so happy for you.”
She doesn’t pull away as she teases, “I imagine workaholics are quite attractive to powerhouses like Patrick.”
“You think I’m attractive, Kate?”
She tsks. “That’s not what I said.”
I’m going to kiss her, and we both know it.
“What if that’s exactly what I want to hear?”
Her full lips part just inches from mine, painted a sensually deep purple. “I’d say that’s a breach of our contract.”
A hum rumbles low from my chest. “For the next five minutes, the contract is null and void.”
Excitement pounds through me when Kate wraps her fists in the front of my shirt and yanks me to her. She slants her mouth over mine, and I growl at the decadent taste—champagne and chocolate; it’s all I can do not to devour her.
This iseverythingour first kiss should have been.
Kate ravishes my lips, exploring and demanding all at once.
Her tiny moans against my mouth make my every movement chaotic. To the point that I’m wrapping my arms around her thighs and inviting the heated center of her to feel just how turned on she makes me.
Those athletic thighs that taunted me at dinner clutch my pelvis punishingly.
“Your legs,” I say as I spin and carry her beneath the stairwell, “are fucking sexy.”
Her laughter is breathless, but she doesn’t stop her assault. In fact, she reaches up between kisses and grips my hair. “You like thick girls, huh?”
Kate’s body is full in all the right places, and from the moment I first saw her in that hot pink bikini, I’ve thought of her as nothing less than perfect exactly how she is.
“Don’t say that like it’s a bad thing.” For emphasis, I splay my hands just under the curve of her ass and squeeze. “You have a body that was made to be worshiped, and I won’t hear this mouth oppose me again.”
“Ugh, you’re so bossy,” she pants, even as my praise has her grinding against me.
Intoxicating—that’s what she is.
“Just… five… minutes,” I say, smearing her lipstick down her throat between each word and loving that she’s branded me with it.
