“That’s just her. She’s always regarded you like some sort of a prize.”

He bites his lip, giving me a cheeky smile.

I wag my finger at him.

“You’re a lucky woman, Rain Sexton,” he says, pulling me closer, instantly getting hard.

My lips stop inches away from his while our gazes melt into each other.

“Sometimes, I don’t feel that lucky,” I murmur. “Especially when you’re away.”

He mulls over something in silence, his fingers brushing strands of hair away from my face.

“You can always come with me.”

“I don’t think it’s gonna work.”

“We can try it.”

“To Monte Carlo?”

“Yes.”

“I can’t travel this week. I promised Ed I’d help Thea to get settled in when she flies back.”

He tips his head back, grinning.

“Okay. You can come when you’re done.”

“I need to finish my book.”

“You can work on your book. I won’t bother you.”

A smile tickles my lips.

Smoothly, I tip my head down and kiss him softly.

His cock hardens even more.

“I love you, James.”

I kiss him again, my hand sliding over his abs, dipping into the water before curling around the root of his erection.

Slowly, I move my fist up and down, our mouths locked into a kiss.

The water drips behind me, and another bolt of lightning glows outside the windows.

“This night is perfect,” I say quietly, locking him in my embrace.

Moments of silence pass while he ponders.

“Stop taking the pill,” he murmurs against my lips, moving his hands to my chest and tenderly kneading my breasts.

My lips tear away from his as I straighten a little and peer at him.

“What are you saying?” I ask, puzzled.

Our eyes connect, and I simply melt.
