‘Please, yes…’ Kelsey bore down harder through her arms, moaning loud. ‘Don’t stop.’

Stop?Heneverwanted to stop.

Ari slammed his cock into her, revelling in the tight sheath of her pussy. Three more thrusts and Kelsey’s eyes flew open, her lips parting on a gasp that ricocheted around the cabin. She cried out then, the sexiest damn banshee noise he’d ever heard.

‘Yesss!’

Her entire body tightened, her fingernails sunk into the flesh of his shoulders, her back arched. Their gazes held as she ground against him, her pussy fisting his cock, squeezing hard as her body trembled and shook to the pulse of her orgasm, her wild moans a powerful aphrodisiac.

He joined her, the orgasm he’d been holding back breaking like a dam. Their climaxes intertwined, the rhythmic squeeze of her pussy and the hot pulse of his cock locking them together as Ari spilled inside her until they were both spent and he collapsed onto the mattress, pulling her down on top of him.

‘Theé dóse mou dýnami,’ Ari said eventually as he stirred beneath her, his hands sifting through the fan of her hair. ‘We’re good at this.’

She laughed but it sounded heavy and sleepy. ‘I thinkphenomenalis more accurate.’

Her warm breath was like a lightning rod against his skin, goosebumps erupting across his scalp and prickling down his nape. She was right; their chemistry was phenomenal.

Propping her chin on his chest, she traced his bottom lip with her finger. The sensation slid all the way down to pool in his groin. ‘I missed you,’ she murmured, her voice sounding sleepy, and before he could respond, she laid her cheek on his chest again and he heard her yawn.

Ari’s heart thunked in his chest. He’d missed her too. He’d known her for only a handful of days but it was the truth.

When he’d told her to go yesterday, it hadn’t been churlish. He hadn’t been angry or annoyed. He understood the risk Kelsey was taking and that pushing her to stay had been wrong. Not to mention unethical on his part. He was supposed to be working undercover investigating the ship’s failings, not putting Kelsey in a compromising situation all whilst deceiving her about his actual identity.

It’d been the wakeup call he needed, a resetting ofhisboundaries.

But her voice on the phone had reached inside him and swept them all away as he’dthrobbedwith the need to see her one more time. Being like this with another woman hadn’t been on his radar. Hell, it hadn’t even been on his wish list, and that was confusing and confrontational, but hewantedKelsey and she wanted him.

And the worldhadn’tended. He hadn’t fallen apart.

Ari didn’t think for a moment he’d beencuredof grief – he still wasn’t ready to let go of Talia – but maybe he was finally emerging into the light?

Thanks to Kelsey.

‘I missed you too,’ he said, but she was already asleep.

* * *

Kelsey woke the next morning to the trail of fingers at her hip, a warm solid body spooning her from behind and a seriously large erection making itself felt in the cleft of her butt cheeks.

‘Mmmm.’ She stretched a little but didn’t open her eyes, just luxuriated in the feel of Ari and the certainty that she didn’t have to go anywhere today. She snuggled into the cradle of his thighs and the virile length of his cock.

‘Kalimera.’

The greeting rumbled around her, low and sexy, as Ari dropped a kiss on her shoulder. Kelsey had heard Ari curse, come and mutter dirty words in his native tongue, but there was something nice about his innocent morning greeting, and the way it slid out, all rough and sleepy, caused a glow deep inside her chest.

His hand moved steadily north to her ribs and she smiled. ‘Good morning to you too.’

Lips buzzed their way across her shoulder blade to the bony notch where nape met spine and Kelsey wriggled against his dick suggestively. ‘What time is it?’

The cabin was as dark as ever but she could hear the distant shutting of doors and the muffled chatter of people as they walked past the cabin, so it had to be morning.

‘Eight thirty.’

Kelsey’s eyes flashed open. ‘Really?’ She hadn’t slept this late since her last stint home between contracts.

Not that there’d been a lot of sleeping going on.

‘Uh huh.’ A hot tongue swiped up the side of her neck as his fingers traced the ruts of her ribs. ‘We wore each other out.’
