"That was close."
I can't resist but pull her close again. "Follow me." I lead her further down the corridor.
"Where are we going now?"
We sneak into my private suite. I look back behind us to make sure no one is watching as we disappear into the room, ready to continue our secret rendezvous.
"Somewhere even better." I smile down at her.
"Wow, Hunter..." Her eyes are wide as she takes in the room. "This is... incredible." She steps further into the suite. High ceilings, walls with artsy paintings, and a king-sized bed with silk sheets. "I feel like I'm in a movie. I didn't even know rooms like this existed in real life!"
She walks over to the gigantic window that shows off a stunning view of the moonlit ocean. "And this view... it's breathtaking!"
"I hate to break it to you, but the view gets even better." Her eyes light up as she turns around to face me, her curiosity piqued.
"Better than this?" she asks, gesturing towards the glittering ocean outside the window.
"Come with me." I lead her towards one of the suite's less obvious doors. As I push it open, the humid air hits us immediately, the sound of water reaching our ears.
Her mouth falls open as she sees the hot tub nestled in a secluded corner of the yacht, the area lit by a string of lights.
"Hunter... This... This is something else."
I switch on the hot tub and I turn to her. "Ready?"
"I didn't bring a swimsuit, Hunter."
"I know." I stare into her eyes as I begin to unzip her dress. Her eyes widen as it slips to her hips, revealing her bra and her bare torso.
"I... What are you..." Her words falter as she watches me.
"I'm helping you." I move closer, my fingers tracing the outline of her bra. "Need help?"
She swallows, her eyes meeting mine. She nods, allowing me to unclasp her bra, letting it fall to the floor.
My hands trail down her body, reaching for her dress again. “Need help with this too?" I whisper into her ear, my voice husky with anticipation.
She nods, her eyes never leaving mine as I slide the zipper down the rest of the way, exposing her in her lingerie as her dress falls to the floor.
"Your turn." She slips her fingers into my belt, her touch sending electricity coursing through me. I let her unbuckle my belt and then she's unzipping my pants, her hands shaking.
I can't help but let my eyes wander over her, drinking in the sight of her in the moonlight.
She pushes my pants down and they pool at my feet. I kick them aside, leaving me in my underwear. She's staring at me now, a mix of desire and curiosity in her eyes. I can't help but smirk.
"Your turn." My finger hooks into the seam of her underwear. She nods, her breath hitching as I slide them down around her hips, dropping the garment to the floor.
She reaches for my underwear, her hands shaking even more now. She slides my briefs down, leaving us both completely bare under the moonlight. Our eyes meet, the air between us thick with anticipation and desire.
"Come." I offer her my hand, and the both of us step into the hot tub. The warm water relaxes our bodies as I kiss her forehead.
There’s a moment of silence between us, our eyes locked onto each other. The only sounds are the waves and the distant hum of the yacht’s engine. Then she breaks the silence.
"So, when David asked about us... That was awkward."
I agree, the image of David's face appears in my mind. His observant question about our friendly behavior put us in a tough spot.
"You looked so panicked."
