Will grinned as he popped the cork. “The old man is gnashing his teeth about it, but yes, I am.” He poured the champagne and passed her a glass.
They touched glasses. “Congratulations on your entry into international finance, Mr. Hawley. Now get in here with me so I can do wicked things to you.”
“I’m all yours.”
He settled into the water next to her, and she shifted over onto his lap, looping her arms behind his head.
He pushed his fingers through her wet hair. “Come here and kiss me. It’s been an hour since I’ve had my hands on you. I’m desperate.”
Leaning in, Mira kissed him, slow and luxurious, because they had four days in paradise to do nothing but enjoy each other. She planned on having sex with him here, and then maybe later down on their private beach, and again tonight in that gorgeous big four-poster bed, romantically draped with netting.
He shifted underneath her and she could feel him grow hard against her. He’d just slid a hand up her back and started tugging the ties to her bikini top whenherphone started ringing from the foot of the chaise longue next to the pool.
He groaned, dropping his head to her shoulder.
“I’ll be quick,” she whispered in his ear.
The season might be over, but that just meantlastseason. Back at the Lennox factory, they’d been working on next year’s car since the midseason break. And now, with just four months left until testing, they were operating at a fever pitch to get it done. It wasn’t the best time to be away, but if they hadn’t taken a vacation now, they wouldn’t have been able to do it untilnextwinter.
Reaching out of the pool, she snagged her phone off the edge of the cushion, answering without even looking at the screen.
“Now, I’m moving to my new office this week, but they’ll start repainting my old one right after the holidays, so you’ll have to work out of your father’s office until they finish up.”
“Hello, Pen.” She rolled her eyes at Will, who rolled his eyes and slipped under the surface of the water.
Once Pen’s baby had finally arrived, she’d decided she couldn’t handle being on the road for months at a time. She was transferring to another department, which allowed her to work full-time at the factory. Mira had been thrilled beyond words when her father had offered her a permanent position as his assistant.
By then, Natalia had brokered a dinner with them and Will, so her father could start acclimating himself to the idea of Will as Mira’s boyfriend. He’d been prickly to start, still afraid of Mira getting hurt, but once Will declared his love for her over the appetizers, Paul had thawed. Will’s world championship trophy sitting in a place of pride at the Lennox factory probably didn’t hurt.
She zoned out a little as Pen rattled on about everything else that had to happen in the transition. Then she felt Will slip up behind her underwater. She bit her lip as his hand moved up her rib cage to her breast.
His head emerged from the water and he leaned into her back. “Be very quiet,” he whispered in her ear. His other hand slipped below the edge of her bikini bottoms. “I’m going to make you—”
“Hey, Pen, I have to go!” she blurted into the phone. “Email me that list and I’ll call you tomorrow. Give Toby a kiss for me!”
She ended the call and gripped the edge of the pool with her free hand, gasping as Will stroked along her sex.
Her phone rang again.
“Give it to me. I’ll tell Pen you drowned.”
She glanced at her phone and swiped to answer. “Hi, Mom.”
In a flash, Will was on the other side of the plunge pool.
“Hi, baby girl!” her mother said. “Now, you guys are flying in on the twentieth, right?”
“Yep. We land at LAX at six.”
Will cupped his hands and splashed water on his face, then leaned back on the edge of the pool, staring at the blue sky overhead.
“Great. I’ll come pick you up.”
“No, you don’t need to. Will’s getting a rental car.”
“Make sure you let me know if there’s anything I can get for Will before you get here. Oh, hey, did you see?”
“See what?”
