Epilogue
“Tiberius, stop takingmy bras out of the bag!” Ryan commanded.
Her insatiable mate grinned at her unrepentantly. “I assure you, mate, you will not need them.”
“We’re going to a tropical island, not a nudist colony!”
“What is this nudist colony you speak of?” he asked her curiously.
“If I may, my prince,” Quintus interrupted from the doorway of Ryan’s bedroom. “A nudist colony is a place where the inhabitants forego clothing, preferring to remain in their natural state.”
When Tiberius turned his attention back to her, her body warmed under his lascivious gaze.
“Sounds intriguing.”
Ryan shook her head and waggled her finger in front of his face. “No. Besides, do you really want other men to see me naked?”
Tiberius growled his displeasure. “No one shall see you bare except for me.”
She pointed her finger at him. “Quid pro quo,buddy. I don’t want any woman looking at what’s mine either, so keep your pants on until we get where we’re going.” Ryan grabbed the bra out of Tiberius’s hand and put it back in the bag.
“Since we shall be enjoying our—what did you call it? Ah, yes, vacation—on my private island, that shall not be an issue.” Tiberius reached in the bag and removed the bra, tossing it across the room. “In fact, you will require nothing beyond suitable traveling attire.”
She gaped at him. “You have your ownisland?”
“Yes. Did I fail to mention that?”
“Yes, you did.”
“Oh. Well, I do. Or rather,wedo. There is no place better suited to acclimate you to the true beauty of the ocean and all it has to offer. Or to have my wicked way with you whenever I so desire,” he added.
“Again, I say,quid pro quo.” She sat down on the bed. There was no sense packing clothes she wasn’t going to wear. “Any more big surprises I should know about?”
Quintus laughed. “Princess, you have no idea.”
“Princess?”
“Well, you are the mate of an Aequorian prince.”
“Right.”
Tiberiushadtried explaining all that between marathon sessions of sexing her up, but it was so easy to get distracted.
“He’s a prince, and you’ve both been exiled from some water world planet in another galaxy.”
“Technically, only Tiberius was exiled,” Quintus clarified. “I just came along for the ride.”
“Uh-huh.” She turned back toward Tiberius. The fact that she was neither shocked nor surprised spoke volumes. “And exactly why were you exiled again?”
Tiberius reached out and tugged her onto his lap. Despite the fact that they had made love less than an hour earlier, she felt the hard press of his arousal beneath her bottom. Apparently, Aequorians were not only super strong and fast and able to breathe under water, they also had incredible stamina and remarkable recovery time.
She wasn’t complaining.
“Because Fate needed me here. To meet you.”
She wiggled her bottom, enjoying the bolt of lust that seared through her. “Good answer. You are going to explain everything once we get there, right?”
“Everything.”
