He kissed her mouth, then kept the pressure until she opened for him.The tip of his tongue touched hers, flicked in erotic exploration before licking its way deeper.At her needy moan, he pulled back.

“Then that’s all that matters.”One hand drifted over her hip to brush against her crotch.It was the lightest of touches, but it still sent her pulse sky high.“This is all that matters.”

“Great sex is all that matters?”A sliver of hurt cut through her.

“Great sex is an outstanding start.That was the reason you joined The Indigo Lounge trip, wasn’t it?”

“I… Not really.I wanted to see what the experience was all about.”

“So you weren’t looking to connect with anyone?”He grated the words as if they soured his mouth.

“I don’t know.Maybe…”

“Whatever the circumstances, we found each other.The only difference here is you’re having the experience with me instead of some other guy whose face I’m trying very hard not to imagine.And it won’t end once my plane lands back in Newark.Amongst other things, I promised you Bora Bora, remember?”

She nodded slowly.Although she felt somewhat appeased, Bethany couldn’t shake the roller-coaster feeling undulating through her.But then he kissed her again.The effect of Zach Savage’s mouth on her was a lesson in how devastating chemistry could be.

He wiped her out with just one touch of his lips on hers.When he raised his head several minutes later, she was on the edge of her chair, clinging to his shoulders.His body was firmly wedged between hers, her legs curled around his hips.

They both looked down.Her dress had ridden up to reveal her naked thighs, and his visibly erect hard-on was pressed against her damp panties.He rocked his hips and the friction electrified her swollen clit.

“God!”

He laughed.“I think my point is made, don’t you?”

Extracting himself from her hands and legs, he readjusted her clothing, returned to his seat, refilled her almost empty glass and picked up his.

“Tell me about your job.Do you love what you do?”

Right.She was supposed to conduct a coherent conversation while she hovered on the brink of yet another orgasm?

She dragged desperate fingers through her hair.“I… umm… I guess.I have a degree in hospitality, and events organizing seemed the perfect choice when I graduated.”

“Why the perfect choice?”he asked.

“My grandmother owned a B&B in Connecticut when I was young.I spent my summers there when I was a child and loved making up games and activities for the families that came there.It seemed a natural choice when it came to a career.”

“Is Neon your first job?”

She looked up in surprise.“How do you know where I work?”

“You filled in your personal details when you applied to join Indigo.”

“Oh.Yes, I joined as a junior organizer three years ago and was promoted to an account holder last year, before…”

“Before what?”

She thought for a moment and shrugged.There was no harm in letting him know she’d known about him before she joined his trip.“My bosses wanted your business.They asked me to investigate you.Find out if any of your business interests coincided with ours.But the companies you use are in the mega league.When I reported back that I couldn’t find a way in, I stymied my prospects at Neon for a while.”

“Ah, so our meeting wasn’t karmic after all?”He sounded faintly disappointed and the look he gave her was mildly calculating.

“What, you think…?I had no idea you would be in Newark!And my presence on the Indigo trip had nothing to do with work.Besides, considering you had over five thousand applicants to choose from, it would’ve been a huge gamble to take, just on the off chance that I would be chosen.”

“But you were.”

“Would you rather you hadn’t met me?”

“I think we’ve established my feelings on that point.But I’m wondering what you’d have done if the opportunity had arisen…?”he pressed.
