I pounced on the bed. Emily squealed.
 
 I pinned her hands over her head. “Ever been fucked under the moonlight?”
 
 She shook her head. “I hope I’m about to.”
 
 I dragged my lips over hers. Our tongues twisted. I wanted to tie her up now and make love to her. The kind of love that was rough and primal. Searing my body into hers. I wanted her so fucking badly.
 
 “Bed or balcony?” I asked, wagging my eyebrows.
 
 “But people could see us.” I saw the alarm in her eyes.
 
 “I don’t think so.” I kissed her throat. “Your choice.” There was a wide hedge of tropical plants and flowers. Someone would have to go out of their way to see what was happening on the porch.
 
 “Balcony.” She breathed.
 
 I grinned. She was perfect. I lifted her into my arms. I hated that she was smaller than when I left. I knew it was my fault. The hollow lines on her stomach. The bones on her hips. But I’d love her back whole. I would take care of her. And I’d never leave.
 
 My mouth covered hers. I couldn’t get enough. I never would.
 
 I wasn’t built to love. I wasn’t that kind of man. I didn’t get attached. I didn’t make memories and relish moments. I was never that man.
 
 Until I met Emily Charles.
 
 I spun her in my arms, so that her hands were planted on the railing.
 
 Her back rubbed against my chest, while I stroked her breasts. Her nipples hardened at my touch.
 
 “Ohh,” she moaned.
 
 I couldn’t take it. She drove me wild.
 
 My hands slid over her back, pushing her forward, hiking her hips toward me. I pushed my cock between her legs. As she jutted her ass higher I slid into her heat, wanting to bury myself inside her. Needing her warmth. Craving her pussy. She clenched and tugged around me.
 
 I pumped hard. Drove into her. She called my name with ragged breaths.
 
 “Vaughn, tell me,” she begged.
 
 And that’s who I was. I was Vaughn Hunter to her. That was the man she loved. The one she needed. I would be him.
 
 “I love you,” I moaned. “I love you, Em.”
 
 “Oh, God.” She rocked into me so I plunged deep to her core. “I love you too.”
 
 We scaled a sexual peak in record time. My spine gripped with tension just as I released inside her. She screamed my name as her own orgasm hit.
 
 “Fuck, Em. Fucking insane,” I groaned.
 
 I held her while her body jolted with pleasure. Bursts of electric sensation.
 
 Her forehead rested on the railing, but I scooped her in my arms and carried her back to bed.
 
 I kissed her as she nuzzled against my chest.
 
 “There’s your moonlight sex,” I joked. I felt drunk off her. Drunk enough to fuck her again. All night. Every night.
 
 “We have to leave tomorrow?” she asked. “I like the islands.”
 
 “We can come back.”
