Page 71 of What Happens in Paradise

My head snapped towards the sea and I saw she was right.

The view was gorgeous and I knew I didn’t want to miss it.

But part of me wished she hadn’t interrupted us at that moment.

Because every part of my body was yearning to know exactly what Alejandro was about to say.

I wanted to know exactly what he wanted to do to me.

And truthfully, I didn’t just want him to tell me what he’d dreamt of doing.

I wanted him toshowme.

ALEJANDRO

Perhaps the ‘Jamaican Viagra’ cocktail really did have some kind of powers, because for the past few hours, I had been fighting to stop my dick getting hard.

My desire for Jasmine was at critical levels before. But when I saw how brave she was, conquering another fear and jumping from the cliff not once, but three times, my attraction to her intensified.

And when she pushed her butt against me, I knew I was fighting a losing battle.

The logical part of my mind knew it was not a good idea. That I needed to think about my job, my promotion, and helping my sister pay for her education, but logic was powerless against lust.

Every flick of Jasmine’s hips, every bottom thrust knocked reason straight out of my brain.

Which was why I broke my promise to keep things professional and told her that I wanted her.

Fighting my feelings had become exhausting. I was tired of battling against what I was certain was the inevitable. Our connection was inescapable. The only option now was to put ourselves out of our misery and surrender.

‘Oh my God, look!’ Jasmine said, snapping me out of my thoughts. ‘The sunset is gorgeous!’

She took my hand, instantly causing my body to light up, then led me to the cliffside to get a better look.

The sky was a fiery, golden colour. Yellow and orange shades blended together as the sun began to dip below the surface. I was not surprised everyone was taking photos. Jasmine was right. It was beautiful.

‘Now I can understand why so many people come here to watch the sunset.’

‘Me too.’ She rested her head on my arm. It was only then that I realised we were still holding hands. It had felt so natural that I had not given it a second thought. ‘It’s so romantic.’

‘It is.’ I turned to face her and she looked up at me. Our eyes locked and our faces inched together.

I dipped my head and kissed her softly on the lips, just to see how she responded. When Jasmine kissed me back, I knew we were both finally on the same page, so I deepened the kiss, devouring her like I was a man who was about to eat his last meal.

As our tongues flicked against each other’s, our hands started to wander. She wrapped her leg around me, pushing me into her and my erection strained against my shorts.

Fuck.

I was not sure how much longer I would be able to resist her.

Jasmine pulled away slowly and when I opened my eyes, I saw hers were still closed but her facial expression was one of pure joy and pleasure.

‘Wow,’ was all she said and I knew exactly what she meant. There was enough electricity in that kiss to light up the whole of the Caribbean. ‘I should… I was supposed to…’ She winced as if she’d lost the ability to talk or think clearly. I knew the feeling.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, her stomach rumbled loudly. We both burst out laughing.

‘Should we get some food?’ I said. I could not believe we had been here for hours and not eaten.
