RJ had no doubt that was true, and while his goal tonight had been to talk about their past, he was through with the regret and sadness now.
“Dance with me.” He took the glass from her and put it on the table.
When he turned back, she had a hand on one hip and a quizzical look on her face. “There’s no music.”
He shrugged and took her hand, pulling her to him. “We’ll make our own music.” With that he wrapped his other arm around her waist and started singing the lyrics to Bruno Mars’s “Just the Way You Are.” It was her favorite song and even though he was singing horribly off-key, he moved his body to the melody.
Grace laughed at his efforts but joined in with him until they were dancing around the deck, singing as loud as they could. In the distance the sunlight faded, dropping down into the water, and a deep magenta and blue color filled the sky. Their movements slowed as they came to the end of the song until they were both still staring into each other’s eyes as they’d done so many times before. Only this was different, and they both knew it.
It seemed as natural as breathing to lean in and touch his lips to hers, and when she tilted her head and joined in the kiss everything that happened in the past, every obstacle, every worry, disappeared. There was only him and Grace now, the sweet tenderness of their kiss, the powerful yearning in their embrace.
Breaking the kiss was difficult, but when he twined his fingers in hers and began walking them toward the stairs that would take them below deck, she followed. He led her down to the master bedroom and closed the door behind them. Earlier he’d been in awe of this space himself. He’d rented the yacht so it’d been his first time touring it, but this bedroom had been amazing. The king-size bed was against one wall facing windows that brought the ocean inside with unfettered panoramic views.
She walked to the bed and sat, patting the space beside her.
“I’ve got something for you,” he said.
“I know. That’s why I’m telling you to come here.” Her smile was sexy and alluring and his heart thumped wildly in his chest.
The dress she wore was sexy as hell, that slit up the side a dangerous threat to his senses. But he could restrain himself, at least for a little while longer. He went to the nightstand and pulled out the top drawer. In it was a black velvet box, too big to be another engagement ring, so her smile remained in place when he carried it toward her.
“You know I love presents,” she said, her expression changing from teasing to giddy with excitement. She even lifted her hands to do a quick clap.
He couldn’t help it; he chuckled. “You’re such a kid when it comes to gifts.”
“I know. My mom used to say I acted like it was Christmas whenever somebody gave me a gift.”
“She’s right,” he told her, and walked closer, still holding the box just out of her reach.
She was practically bouncing on the edge of the bed and when that became too much for her she just reached out and grabbed it. RJ laughed, enjoying the authentically happy look on her face more than she would ever know.
She opened the box quickly and then stopped to stare up at him. “When did you get this?”
His words almost faltered when she reached her hand into the box. “I ordered it when I went back to my room the first night I saw you here. I requested express delivery.” Because he’d needed to see her with it.
She lifted the new vibrator out of the box, her fingers wrapped securely around the apparatus in a way that made his dick jump.
“I want to watch you this time,” he said, and began unbuttoning his shirt.
“You sure you’re just gonna watch?” she asked as she rubbed the tip of the vibrator over her cleavage.
He struggled to breathe but managed to keep his fingers on the buttons instead of reaching to pull the straps of her dress down so he could see her breasts completely. “Absolutely. I’m going to enjoy the show.”
With a smirk, she set the vibrator down and stood to remove her clothes. When she was done, she leaned over to pull some of the pillows together and set them up at the head of the bed. It was an elaborate act, giving him an unfettered view of her delectable ass.
True to his word, RJ removed the rest of his clothing and pulled one of the cushioned chairs from the corner closer to the bed. He sat and waited for the performance to begin.
“Show me what you planned to do with the one that got away from you the other night.”
“You mean the one you broke,” she said as she lay back on the bed.
He figured it had broken after he stepped on it, even though she hadn’t given him an update. “This replacement’s better.”
She adjusted herself on the bed and switched the vibrator on. “We’ll see.”
RJ swore he’d died and gone to heaven. The sight of Grace lying gorgeously naked on that bed, legs lifted so that her feet were planted on the mattress, knees spread, was more than he’d ever imagined. When he expected her to slide the apparatus between her legs, she lifted it to her lips instead, licking it up and down until his fingers gripped the arms of the chair.
He recalled her tongue moving over his dick just like that in the past, and he dropped one hand down to soothe his aching erection. She took the toy deep into her mouth and he began jerking his dick, wanting to be inside her mouth the same way that vibrator was. She removed it from her mouth with a plopping sound that had him moaning. Then she rubbed it over her breasts, circling her nipples and going down her torso to her stomach. He licked his lips when he knew what would happen next.
