That slow grin tilted his delicious mouth. The one that made her see stars.

How did I get so lucky as to meet him?

Eva glanced at his shirt. “You’re right. You are a bit on the damp side. Maybe you need to get this off…”

She slid each button through its hole, working her way up his chest. By the time she got to the top his increased breathing matched her own. She slipped the shirt down his strong arms and dropped it to the floor. The snap on his jeans was loud, each click of the zip as it went down another notch was as if a shot fired.

Eva pushed the thick material past his slim hips, and it slipped down his legs to his ankles. Simon toed off his shoes and stepped out of his jeans, his gaze fast on her face as hers dropped to look at his fine body.

Oh, boy.

What a body.

A totally aroused body.

Eva hauled her dress up over her head and dropped it from her fingers. It landed in a soft drop of puddled material near her feet.

The underwear was fast to follow.

The ring, though, that stayed right where it was on her finger.

Naked and self-conscious as hell she stepped backward. Eyes wide, Simon took in her naked form as she did her best to stand there and not fidget while he stared. He bent and dug in his jeans pocket, pulling out a condom.

Reaching out, she grabbed his hand and pulled, then turned and walked into the ensuite bathroom, dragging him along behind her.

Eva reached in and flipped on the shower tap, waiting for the water to heat up. Satisfied the water wasn’t going to freeze her to death, Eva stepped into the spray and let the luxuriant heat flood her body.

Gentle hands touched her waist from behind.

She stepped backward and leaned into his warm body. His arms came around her, hands splayed wide on her belly, his head coming to rest on her shoulder. Fast, deep breaths expanded the chest behind her.

He pressed his face to the side of her head. A whispered, “I love you,” sent shivers cascading all over her. She’d never get sick of hearing those words from him. So new, yet they’d already wound so deep into her heart.

She slid her hand up into his hair and held him to her as he began to kiss her neck.

Strong hands cupped her breasts and massaged, then naughty fingers pinched her nipples, making her gasp. A light chuckle sounded near her ear.

Eva bit her lip to stop the smile escaping. The cheeky bastard was teasing her. His hands found every bare inch of skin. Each touch resulted in an exquisite moan from her.

Open-mouthed kisses peppered her shoulder and neck. His hands slipped down her body, one going between her legs to cup her sex. She shivered.

A finger pressed into her flesh and stroked. She bucked against him, the rock-hard rod of his erection pressing into the crease of her ass. Eva let out a small moan, the feel of his finger on her, oh, so nice.

“This okay?” he murmured.

She leaned her head back against his chest and nodded. “Yes.”

Desire curled and twisted, surprising her with the intensity.

“Put your hands on the wall.” Simon’s voice, though gentle, brooked no argument.

She did so, leaning forward to reach. He moved behind her and tapped the inside of her foot with his own to move her stance wider. Eva looked over her shoulder at the crackle of the condom wrapper.

She bit her lip, nervous at what she was about to say to him. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to?”

Simon glanced up, confusion in his eyes. “Don’t have to what?”

She flicked her gaze downward momentarily. “Use that. I had a contraceptive shot last month. I’m covered.”
