She smiled up at him in adoration. “Not when I’m with you. Sex on the beach has always been one of my top ten fantasies.”
How could he deny her? He opened the packet and sheathed himself. “Sorry, but this is going to have to be quick.”
“Don’t apologize. You can make it up to me when we’re back at the hotel.”
He’d make certain of it. Once they were alone, in the privacy of her room, he could take his sweet time, lavishing her body with the attention she deserved.
He parted her thighs and stroked her slick folds with his fingers. She was more than ready. He wanted to go down on her first, to ensure her satisfaction, but he couldn’t risk it. When he entered her, she wrapped her legs around him and moaned with pleasure. He placed his hand over her mouth and whispered into her ear.
“Shhh. We don’t want everyone to hear us.”
“Sorry. But you feelsogood.”
He wished they were both naked so he could feel her bare skin against his, but there was something erotic as hell about doing it on a public beach. He thrust deeper inside her, increasing his pace, but stopped before he reached the precipice. He caught her eyes and smoothed her wayward curls from her face.
“Connor?” she whispered. “What is it?”
“I want to remember you like this. So beautiful. So sexy. And all mine.” Wanting to bring them closer, he captured her mouth with a searing kiss. She moaned again, and he picked up the pace, thrusting even harder.
“Yes,” she said. “Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”
He tried to hold back, but within minutes she was clutching him harder and whimpering with pleasure. With a final surge, he let himself go, and a rush of sensation enveloped him. He pressed his forehead against hers, now damp with sweat. For a moment they said nothing as the surf crashed behind them.
She gave a little shudder. “That was amazing. Better than my fantasies.”
He looked into her eyes, wanting to savor their closeness. “You’re the one who’s amazing.” What was it about this woman that made him feel both protective and passionate?
The murmur of voices shocked him out of his stupor. “Someone’s coming.” He stood up, hating the rush of chilly air where there had been warmth before. After pulling up his boxers and his shorts, he offered her his hand and helped her to her feet.
She shook out the towel and adjusted her dress. “Let’s go back to my room and take a shower. Does that sound okay?”
He placed his arm around her waist. “Sounds perfect.”
Chapter 21
Jess curled up against Connor, enjoying the warmth of his naked body. A glimpse of sunlight, peeking through the blinds, made her suspect they’d slept late. But she couldn’t make herself look at the time. Not when she was suspended in a blissful state of contentment.
She still couldn’t believe they’d had sex on a public beach. While the act itself had been furtive and quick, the setting was undeniably romantic. But though she’d kept her butt firmly on the towel, she’d still gotten sand in unexpected places. The only way to get rid of all the sand was to take another shower. Then they curled up in bed and watchedTerminator 2on cable before drifting off to sleep in each other’s arms.
She could get used to this. The feeling that Connor wasn’t just a lover who brought her to the heights of passion, but a friend she could snuggle with and share bad jokes. But their fling had a definite expiration date. Today was Thursday, two days before the wedding, which meant they had three more nights left. Most of the wedding party was departing on Sunday. Everyone was returning home except Marc and Gabi, who were flying to the island of Kauai for their honeymoon.
Connor stirred, then rolled over to face her. He looked as gorgeous as ever, his dark hair mussed from sleep. He brushed his hand against her cheek. “Have I ever told you how sexy you look first thing in the morning?”
“Maybe? But you can tell me again.”
He ran his hand through her hair, tangling it in her curls. “For the record, you’re completely irresistible.” He lowered his head, trailing kisses along the hollow of her throat.
Even after a wild night of passion, she couldn’t get enough of him. But her phone trilled with an alarm, startling her. She pulled away from him and shut it off. “It’s nine fifteen. I have to meet the girls for a spa morning at ten.”
Though she would have preferred to lounge in bed with Connor, she needed to revert to her role as Gabi’s maid of honor. At least they’d gotten the chance to spend the night together.
“I need to run, too,” he said. “I’ve got a tennis game at ten. Darren’s going to kick my ass. He’s been taking private lessons.”
She smacked his bare butt. “All right, then. Time to get up. I need a shower, stat.”
He grinned. “Sounds good.”
“Not with you. If you and I get into the shower…” She shivered at the memory of their late-night shower, when she’d knelt down and taken him in her mouth, putting him at her mercy until he groaned in submission.
