‘What do you think?’

‘I think I’d love further demonstration.’

‘Why, Gideon. You sound almost insecure,’ I muttered huskily as he surged inside me.

Bewilderment mingled with arousal. ‘Funny thing, that. I’ve never felt like this with anyone else. You make me want to do things I don’t normally do, Leonora,’ he gritted out.

Oh, God.I squeezed my eyes shut, the potency of his words threatening to shatter my defences. ‘Things like what?’

He leaned close, bit the corner of my lip before gliding his tongue over it. ‘You’ve reduced me to constant begging. I find myself baring my fucking soul like I’m at confession. And I’m not even Catholic.’

He surged deeper, lifting me to the tips of my toes.

‘Oh, God!’ The tempest brewing in my veins intensified. I dragged my eyes open, met turbulent ones. ‘This feels one-sided to you? You want to see what you do to me?’

‘Yes,’ he encouraged thickly.

I dragged one hand down his body and transferred it to my own. The first brush of my fingers over my swollen clit tightened my internal muscles, nearly sent me over the edge. My whole body shook with the precursor to my impending climax.

‘Fuck yes. More, Leonora,’ Gideon demanded gruffly.

I touched myself again, this time prepared for the zap of electricity.

Gideon swivelled his hips, aiming his thrust to hit me at an angle that turned me liquid.

‘Gideon.’ His name was a drawn-out moan. ‘I...I don’t know if I can take it.’

Teeth clenched, he continued to work me, his eyes growing darker by the minute as we both surged towards completion. ‘I have you, sweetheart. Go wild for me.’

I fondled myself again, gliding my fingers on either side of his thrusting cock. Then I brought my fingers to my clit, circling my needy flesh. Once started, I couldn’t stop.

‘God, you’re so beautiful, Leonora.’

Raising my gaze from the intensely erotic sight of our joining, I met Gideon’s compulsive gaze. We stayed like that, an intense and hypnotising connection locking us in place.

Then he gave a harsh groan. ‘I feel you, baby. You’re ready to explode, aren’t you?’

Words failed me. A moment later, he fused his mouth to mine just as a tsunami of sensation smashed into me.

Gideon’s shout filled the heated space a moment later. I felt him catch me as every ounce of energy rushed out of me and my vision blurred.

When I came to, he was seated on the bench and I was sprawled all over him. Soft kisses trailed down my face as his hands smoothed back damp tendrils. ‘This was how I wanted to wake up. Good morning, Leonora.’

I smiled, feeling beyond sensational. ‘Good morning, Gideon.’

With a deep chuckle, he rose with me in his arms. At the door he set me down long enough to drape a thick bathrobe over me and one over himself before we returned to the bedroom.

Our breakfast was still warm and I followed him as he pushed the breakfast trolley onto his private balcony. The smell of scrambled eggs and bacon and coffee reminded me that we’d barely made it past starters last night.

We wolfed down a plateful of food in silence. Then he lounged back in his chair, lazily watching me as I devoured a small bowl of strawberries.

‘Are you going to give the crew the day off?’ he asked, his gaze dropping to linger where my robe gaped to show the curves of my breasts.

I shrugged. ‘If you don’t need them, they’ll be thrilled to have a day off.’

‘Good. And let them know that under no circumstances are they to return to the upper decks before midnight.’

I smiled. ‘What exactly have you got in mind?’
