Page 19 of One Weekend in Rio de Janeiro

“I’m glad we met,” he said simply, voice low. “I think you’re pretty amazing and there’s no one else I would’ve rather been lost in the jungle with.”

“Same,” she murmured.

Donovan set the empty plate aside then turned to face her. He reached out, cupped her face and leaned in, brushing his lips over hers. And Kate melted.

The tender kiss made Kate’s pulse pound hard and she wouldn’t be surprised if her heart skipped a beat. Or two. The man certainly knew how to kiss and she gripped onto his thick wrists, kissing him back with all the passion humming through her body. Need washed over her and he tilted her head back, his tongue sweeping along hers, deepening the connection.

When they finally came up for air, Kate knew one thing for certain. She wanted Donovan Briggs like she’d never wanted another man. She skimmed her fingers through his hair, her chest rising and falling hard.

“Did you happen to pick up anything else while you were downstairs?” she asked huskily.

“I did,” he answered, dropping kisses along her neck. “Ribbed for her pleasure.”

Kate moaned as he pushed her back onto the bed, his fingers loosening the belt at her waist. Her hands slid beneath his robe, pushing the lapels apart and landing on his warm chest. He felt so good and a shudder wracked through her body as he opened her robe, sat back on his heels and gazed down at her.

“You’re insanely gorgeous,” he rasped. Then he lowered down, stretching his hard body over hers. As he settled his weight on his elbows, kissing her thoroughly, Kate arched up, pressing herself along his long frame, seeking the heat his body offered. His cock was big and hard and she dropped her legs open, welcoming him between her thighs. Needing him inside of her.

It had been a damn hard couple of days and Kate needed this release. Hell, she’d earned it. She’d been wildly attracted to Donovan since the second she saw him at the airport and she still couldn’t believe all they’d been through together. This moment seemed like the perfect cherry on top of their adventure sundae.

“Please,” she begged, writhing beneath him. He reached down and began stroking between her legs, making her wetter than she ever thought possible.

“Christ, you’re already soaked.” He found her clit, massaging, spreading her juices up and around the throbbing bud. Her lower body tightened and arched against his hand. A part of her felt like she should be taking care of him, but she couldn’t stop for anything. Not until the oncoming release zapped through her like a bolt of hot, sizzling lightning.

Kate cried out as the orgasm rolled through her. The second one he’d given her today. Her nails scratched down his back and her head dropped back. “Oh…my…God…” The words floated from her mouth and her body felt suspended in bliss.

Donovan began nuzzling her neck and she trailed her fingers lightly down his sides and reached for his pulsating cock. Wrapping her fingers around his hard length, she squeezed. “Your turn.”

With a guttural groan, he rolled onto his back and let her take charge. Kate had plans and she scooted back, stroking him until his hips jerked off the mattress. He swore under his breath and watched her every movement with hooded eyes.

“Condom?” she whispered.

“Right,” he grunted then quickly spun her away. Kate squealed and landed on her back while Donovan went to grab the protection. As he was returning, a loud knock shook the doorframe.

Seriously? What now? Kate sat up, pulling her robe together. It was still early afternoon, but they weren’t expecting anyone. Donovan swore under his breath then stalked over to the door and peered through the peephole. With a frown, he pulled his robe together, unlocked the door and opened it.

A short man stood there and quickly whispered something to Donovan before scurrying away. With another curse, Donovan shut the door and met Kate’s inquisitive gaze. “We need to go,” he announced. “Get dressed. Fast.”

“What’s going on?” Kate asked, sliding off the bed.

“I slipped the guy at the front desk some cash to let me know if any suspicious men showed up and started asking questions. They just did.”

Oh, shit. Time to go.

???

Once again, Donovan had been cockblocked by whoever was hunting them down. Because now it was clear that bad guys were after them and it wasn’t simply a random encounter with thieves or guerillas. Ignoring his aching dick, willing it to go back down, he hurriedly got dressed. Maybe whoever hacked him hadn’t been able to read his encrypted files or hadn’t gotten everything on the drive. Or, maybe they were here to eliminate loose ends.

Unless…

His gaze flicked over to Kate who was pulling her new shirt on and he wondered if she had anything to do with it. Or was she merely caught up in his clusterfuck? Once they got safely on a bus and were headed out of there, he planned to ask her a few questions. Just to be sure.

“Let’s go downstairs and sneak out the back door,” Donovan said and Kate nodded, following him. When they reached the ground level, he shoved a rear door open and they stepped outside. No sign of Assault and Battery, so they headed straight for the small bus stop up the road.

Donovan put the tickets on his credit card and they immediately boarded.

“Oh, God, it feels good in here,” Kate announced, welcoming the air conditioner’s arctic blast. “How long is this ride? Because I don’t ever want to get off.”

He chuckled. “Less than an hour.”
