“Don’t worry, okay?” I take her hand and pull her the rest of the way inside. “We’re going to enjoy the view and have some fun away from home.”
She doesn’t protest when I lead her to the living room and she gets a look at the view through the big picture windows.
“Wow. Ocean view. It’s pretty.”
“I like an ocean view. Maybe it’s from all those years that I lived at the lighthouse.”
“Why don’t you live in a place like this?” she asks, wandering around and checking out the place.
“I may love the view, but I don’t want to live this close to the ocean. The weather takes a toll on the buildings and cars, so I prefer to live in town. We still have salty air, but it’s not quite as bad.”
“Yeah.” She opens the cabinets in the kitchen. “I agree. I know that Luna and Sarah both love living right on the water, but I’m more of a land-based animal myself. Plus, I can always visit them and enjoy it.”
“Exactly. Are you hungry?”
“Hell no, you just fed me an hour ago. Why?”
“Well, you’re looking through that kitchen as if you’re starving.”
She closes the fridge and then leans against the island with a rueful smile. “I guess I have nervous energy.”
“Why?”
“Because this is the first time I’ve spent the night away from normal life with you. It’s like a mini vacation.”
“We stayed at the inn last weekend.”
“Yeah, but that’s like a second home to me, so it doesn’t count.”
“Ah, I get it.” I nod and slowly walk around the island and pull her against me. “Being in a strange place with me makes you nervous.”
“Yes, but not in a bad way.” She turns and presses her hand to my chest, her eyes wide. “I don’t mean it to sound bad.”
“I get it.” I take that hand from my chest and kiss her palm. “It’s just nerve-racking.”
“Yeah.” She swallows hard. “I know that’s silly.”
“Not silly.” I kiss the inside of her wrist, and her pupils dilate. Yeah, the sexual tension has been high since that moment in my truck on the side of the road. “I want you, Juniper.”
“Thank all the gods because I’ve been struggling not to jump you.”
I grin and push the sleeve of her sweater up so I can kiss the inside of her elbow.
“I’m going to savor you.”
“No.”
That has me raising an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”
“No. No savoring or lingering or going slow. I want you to fuck me, Apollo. Right here on this island, if you’re so inclined.”
She pulls back and strips out of her clothes, tossing them aside. Then she returns to me, pushes her fingers into the hair at the nape of my neck, and kisses me, hard.
“We always go slow,” she says between kisses. “But I want it like that night after the bar. I want it a little crazy tonight.”
Unable to resist her, I lift her onto the counter and grin when the cold granite against her skin makes her squeal.
Then I drop to my knees in front of her, spread her legs, and move in to devour her.
