He watched her, his eyes focused intently as his gears turned. The longer he took to answer her question, the deeper her stomach sank.

Maybe she shouldn’t be talking about the future when they’d both sort of agreed that he wasn’t a fling kind of guy and Kelsey wasn’t a commitment kind of girl—

“I think the first order of business”—he ripped the wrapper open and slid the condom over his shaft—“after Barbados, that is, will be to neverevertell our moms that anything happened between us. You know those two would have a field day with this.”

Kelsey laughed, but the sound quickly faded. Did he mean that they couldn’t tell their moms what happenedhere, in Barbados, because that wasallthat would happen between them? Was he saying that nothing else would happen after the trip? Was he agreeing to just have this fling with her, then go their separate ways?

Her chest constricted uncomfortably.Reallyuncomfortably.

But she’dwantedthat, hadn’t she? She’dwantedto just get Alexander out of her system. She’dwantedto fuck him and forget him.

Hadn’t she?

“I don’t want that,” she blurted. Her hand flew to cover her mouth.

Alexander’s eyebrows rose and he pointed to his cock.

Kelsey laughed into her palm, then shook her head. “Oh God,” she said, the words muffled by her hand, “that’s not what I meant.”

He grinned, then lowered himself down on top of her.

Kelsey gasped at the firmness he placed between her legs.

He rested his elbows on either side of her shoulders and cradled her head with his hands. “Whatdidyou mean?”

“I don’t want this to be it.” She squeezed her eyes shut.Who even am I?She didn’t know, so she just went with it. Kelsey had always been someone who just went with what she wanted, trusted her gut—and her body—not to lead her astray. “I don’t want Barbados to be all we ever have between us.”

“Right now, there’s a pretty decent cock between us.”

Kelsey’s eyes flew open and she shook her head. “You’re the worst.”

Alexander flashed her a wicked grin. “You love it.” He pressed his tip against her center and words escaped her. The pressure between her legs increased, pulling a moan from her lips. She spread wider, wrapping her legs around his hips to open herself up to him.

He sucked in air through his teeth, kept his eyes locked on hers, and pressed inside of her. Kelsey breathed deeply, gripping his shoulders as he pushed deeper. Her body welcomed him, spreading and stretching until he filled her, then he began to thrust in and out of her, rocking their bodies together. Her breasts rubbed against his hard chest, sending rivers of pleasure through her body.

They moved together perfectly, in tune with one another’s bodies the way only two people who had been moving around one another for so many years could be. Their bodies knew each other, wanted each other, long before either one of them could admit it.

Kelsey smiled at the thought, quite satisfied with the outcome.

Alexander had always been on her radar, and she was so thankful he’d finally made her face that fact.

Reluctantly, sure, but—

He twisted his hips and drew a moan from her lips, then he pulled back to look at her, a flash of mischief in his eyes. Then he leaned down to nip at her collarbone.

“Alex,” she panted.

He moaned against her throat. “Oh,Chelsea.”

She laughed at the amusement in his tone and smacked playfully at his shoulder. When he pulled back to look at her, his stupid trademark smirk on his face, Kelsey asked, “What am I going to do with you, Arroyo?”

Alexander tilted his head. “Same thing you’ve been doing with me for twenty-plus years, Sutton.” His eyes danced with amusement as he said, “You’re going to annoy the ever-living shit out of me.”
