Opening the door to the shower, I stepped into the spray bringing Ryder along with me. I could only stand there as I watched water darken his hair, and droplets trail down his defined chest. He was a masterpiece, and for the next week, he was all mine.

Spotting a ledge in the shower, I pushed Ryder over to it with a plan in mind. He quirked a brow but didn’t argue as I manhandled him into the corner. Stepping onto the ledge, I tugged Ryder until we were skin to skin. Now that I was on the step, we were better suited for a little shower sex.

“I can’t do a condom in here.” His hard length slid through my folds and hit the center of my pleasure, causing me to jerk and the tips of my breasts to tease against his firm chest.

“You can pull out or if you don’t feel—”

Ryder’s mouth crashed against mine as if he’d been dying to kiss me. As fast as he’d come, he pulled back with a devilish smile. Leaning in, his warm tongue swept slowly across the seam of my lips. His breath ghosted across my face. Tipping my head back, I opened for him, allowing him access to what we both desperately wanted. Plunging his tongue in at the exact moment, he impaled me with his cock, we both moaned. I’d missed feeling him inside of me, stretching me, filling me to the brim. He pulled my bottom lip between his teeth, and my sex spasmed around him.

With each precise thrust, the base of his cock hit my bundle of nerves and my ring. It was the best decision I’d ever made getting that rod through my clit. The pleasure it brought me was unlike anything I’d ever felt up until that moment.

“What you do to me,” Ryder growled before he took my nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. The sting and the pleasure brought me over the edge. My pussy clenched around his thick rod as I threw my head back in bliss. It was true what they said; I saw fireworks go off behind my eyelids as he kept hitting me over and over again, drawing out my pleasure.

Pulling out, Ryder trapped his cock between us and let it slide over my wet body until he shot his load across my stomach. His eyes were dark with lust as he stared down at me. No one had ever looked at me the way he did, and with each time, I wanted more from him. More than I should have after only knowing him a short time.

Stepping away and helping me down off the ledge, Ryder pulled a warm towel off the rack and wrapped it around his tapered waist. The sight of it hanging low on his hips and his ‘V’ so prominently displayed had me ready to go again. Taking another towel, he set about drying me off inch by inch until not a drop of water was left on my body. He took his work seriously, making me fall even harder for him. When he was done, he asked me to bend down so he could wrap my hair up in the towel to dry. “Let’s go to bed. I’ve got to be up bright and early tomorrow.”

Silently we moved into the bedroom side by side. I slipped under the plush comforter while he pulled a charger out of his bag and plugged it into the socket on the nightstand beside mine. Ryder walked over to the sliding glass doors and cracked it open enough that we could hear the crashing of the waves.

My stomach fluttered at his thoughtfulness and knowing he’d been listening to me earlier.

Walking around to the other side of the bed, he slipped in beside me. His lean frame cradled mine as he reached over me to turn off the light, and then settled back behind me and pulled the covers up to our shoulders. With our legs tangled together and his arm draped over my waist, I pulled his hand up to rest between my breasts so I could hold on to it as I fell asleep. My eyes, which were already heavy from being sated, fluttered closed with a smile on my lips as Ryder nuzzled the skin of my neck before placing a soft kiss there.

“Areyou sure you don’t mind me taking the Jeep?” Ryder brushed a stray strand of hair from my face as he sat on the side of the bed.

I looked to the sliding glass doors and was met with darkness. “It’s not even light out. I’m happy staying here and sleeping. If you’re not back by the time I’m up, I’ll head down to the beach and read a book.”

Leaning down, he cradled my cheek in the palm of his hand. Brushing his full lips across mine, Ryder’s minty breath ghosted across my face. “Go back to sleep, and I’ll see you later.”

I watched him pick up his cellphone and the keys off the nightstand and quietly walked out of the room. Once I heard the hotel door click closed, my eyes fell shut and didn’t open until the sun reflected off the crystal blue waters, lighting my room.

Turning over, I was shocked to find Ryder lying on the bed next to me with one of my romance novels in his hands. Setting the book down on the other side of him, Ryder turned on his side, wrapped his arm around me, and pulled me flush against him.

“Good morning, sleepyhead.” He kissed the side of my head. “I thought for sure you’d be sitting on the beach with a tropical drink in your hand by the time I was on break. Imagine my surprise to find you curled up under the covers.”

Snuggling into his chest, I yawned. “Why didn’t you go back to sleep?”

“And pass up reading a romance novel?” His light chuckle sent shivers through my whole body. “Is that what women want from men?”

“What book were you reading?” I had brought quite a few with me, and they ranged from sweet to dark romance. He picked up the book and showed me the cover of a bully romance. “We definitely don’t want our men like that, but we do like to read about it. I would never tolerate a man treating me the way he does. I like good guys.” Now, I amended silently.

He let a puff of laughter. “I was worried that’s how you expected men to treat you.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. Did men really think we wanted our lives to play out like they did in books? “I don’t expect my life to be like a romance novel. Good or bad.”

“Good to know.”

“What time to do you have to be back?”

Looking at his phone, Ryder’s lips turned down. When his beautiful blue eyes landed on me, they were almost sad. “An hour and a half, so that means I have to head back in an hour. We broke to eat lunch. I was actually surprised they gave us so long, but I guess they did have to move everything to a new location.”

I wanted to ask about Lana, but I didn’t want to ruin our time with talk about her. “Have you eaten lunch yet?”

“Nah, I was waiting to see if you’d wake up.”
