Page 95 of One Night in Hawaii

“That’s it,” he encouraged. “That’s my girl. Damn, you’re so wet.”

I moaned and thrashed with my eyes squeezed closed. It was too much to handle. My brain was overloaded with ecstasy. He slid his hand up to my breast and squeezed while he continued to push in and out.

He reached for my hand with his other hand and pulled me to a sitting position. I felt limp and hung on his shoulders, kissing his neck. He wrapped his arm around my waist and held me in place while he thrust inside me over and over.

I finally opened my eyes and looked into his. I was mesmerized. He was staring at me as he took me. He breathed my name. He thrust in one last time and exploded inside me. The force of his orgasm made my body shake.

He held me while he rode it out, pressing his forehead to mine. A few minutes later we were both able to breathe normally again.

“Damn,” I said with a long sigh. “We should have been doing it in the kitchen this whole time.”

He chuckled and lifted me off the counter. “Maybe. I’m not sure either of us can handle that kind of excitement.”

“Good point,” I said, smiling. “Ready for bed?”

“I am.”

We left our clothes where they were and shut off the lights. We walked to our bedroom and were just crawling into bed when his phone rang.

“Who in the hell is that?” he muttered.

“Maybe something happened at the barbecue,” I said.

He walked out of the room to get his phone. I got into bed and waited.

“Hello?” I heard him answer. “Dad? What time is it there?”

I listened, without trying to eavesdrop, but it was concerning. Archer was silent and then I couldn’t hear what he said. He walked back into the room and put his phone on the nightstand before getting into bed.

“Is everything okay?” I asked.

“Yes, fine. He just wanted to let me know he handled everything. Ashley is finally out of our lives. She has zero claim to anything.”

“She was still fighting?” I asked with surprise.

“Yeah, she was claiming she had partial ownership of my apartment. It was a weak claim but it was enough to keep the lawyers busy. She’ll get nothing. It’s over. She’s finished.”

“She called me,” I blurted out.

“What? When?”

“Today,” I said. “She told me to stay away and how horrible you were. She warned me about signing a prenup with you. Said you were going to screw me over and just a bunch of ramblings.”

“What did you say?”

“I told her I didn’t care about a prenup because I was with you for love, not money,” I replied proudly.

He smiled and kissed me. “I’m sorry she bothered you. Is that the first time?”

“Yes. I don’t know how she got my number.”

“It’s hard to say,” he said, sighing. “She probably hired an investigator. She told the lawyers she knew I had another woman. It was made very clear it didn’t matter because she and I were through.”

“Do you think she’ll keep trying to get you back?” I asked.

“She doesn’t want me, she wants my money,” he said. “Apparently, the Matthew situation has been finalized as well. Those two are screwed. They’ll have to find other willing victims. Penelope is officially free and clear. Neither of them got a penny out of us.”

“Good,” I said. “I can’t believe they were so sneaky.”
