I bite my lip, wondering if he’s right.

Should I take this chance?

My heart beats, thumping in my chest as if to say yes, take it and never let go.

“Maybe you’re right,” I say as Knox stands and holds out his hand to me.

I let him pull me to my feet and he tugs me again until I’m pressing up against his chest.

“I am, Chloe. This is right,” he breathes against my lips and I nod.

That’s all it takes and his lips land on mine. I thought that it would be slow, that he would ease me into it, but it’s like my nod gave him permission to let everything out.

He kisses me like he’s been starved for it, like he won’t survive another minute unless his lips are on mine.

I gasp when his teeth sink into my bottom lip and he groans in response, wasting no time in pushing his tongue into my mouth and tasting me.

I’m not sure when my hands wrapped around his neck, but they sink into his hair, tangling in the short strands at the back of his head as I get lost in what he’s doing to my body.

We pull apart and I suck in a deep breath, my eyes wide and trained on Knox.

“Did you still want to explore the island?” I ask as I try to calm my racing heart.

“I’ve got a better idea,” Knox says with a sexy smirk.

“What’s that?”

“I’d rather explore you.”

I can feel my eyes widen at his words and that place between my legs flares to life. I squeeze my thighs together, trying to calm the ache that’s forming there as Knox backs me up toward the bed.

His fingers find the button on my shorts and he has them slipping down my legs in an instant. I gasp as his hands go to the hem of my shirt and he starts to tug the fabric up and over my head.

I want to help him take his clothes off too, but before I can, he’s pushing me down onto the soft mattress and caging me in with his body.

“You’re the most beautiful thing that I’ve ever seen,” he whispers and I can feel the blush spreading all over my body.

His lips find mine, and I relax as he kisses me. I barely notice as his hands unhook my bra and skim down my sides to my panties.

He pulls away, his lips trailing down my neck as his fingers hook on the sides of my underwear and he tugs them down my thighs.

I moan as his lips find the swell of my breast and he nips at the skin there as his hands mold the mounds. His tongue laps at my nipple and shock waves run down my body, all headed to my core.

I can feel myself getting wetter with every flick of his skillful tongue, and I squirm on the bed beneath him.

I need more.

“I’m going to give it to you, beautiful,” Knox says, and I realize that I must have said that out loud.

Either way, it gets Knox to move.

He sucks my nipple into his mouth, letting it go with a pop, and I arch against him. He kisses down my stomach and I start to tense up.

I’ve never been a size zero, much to my parents’ disappointment, and I wonder if it will be a turn-off for Knox. When his tongue grazes a circle around my belly button, I realize that he doesn’t care.

He thinks that I’m beautiful just the way that I am. Realizing that has me melting into the bed.

He shoulders my thighs open and I gasp as he comes face to face with my drenched flesh.
