Holding my stare, he slipped his boxers off and my eyes roamed every single inch of him. He was beautiful, a god with tanned skin and tattoos. His erection strained and I reached out to wrap my fingers over his smooth, hard length. Anticipation thrummed back to life between my legs. The way he watched me had my pulse throbbing and my body ready to feel him inside me. Goose bumps spread across my skin despite the hot, humid air. He grabbed my ankle and jerked me to the side of the bed and a soft squeal escaped me.

“I’m going to fuck you until the entire island hears your screams,” he rasped roughly.

“Yes,” I breathed, needy and eager.

He grasped my thighs, parted them, and let out a low curse. “So fucking drenched.”

His arm wrapped around my waist and he pushed me back onto the pillows. He crawled onto the bed and kneeled between my legs.

“I love you, Reina,” he rasped, the emotions thick in his voice and his eyes. “So damn much that each second away from you tore at my fucking insides.”

My body responded immediately and my eyes misted. Jesus Christ, I had become a cry baby.

I pressed my palm against his cheek. “How many women have you told you loved before?” I asked hesitantly.

“Do I strike you as a man that says I love you to just anyone?” he drawled, the beautiful smile on his lips making me warm everywhere. “I’ve never said it before, except to my mother. So Sailor Brooke McHale Santos, listen carefully. I love you. Only you. I love you so damn much that not even beating somepinchecabrónass gives me satisfaction.” He ran his calloused palms down my thighs, spreading them wider. “I love you. Your heart. Your brain. Your body. Your pussy.” A sigh left me as his fingers brushed against my wet folds. “I just love the whole you. It’s a package deal. I want to grow old with you. Have babies with you. See every inch of the world with you. Fuck it, I’ll even save the world with you.”

I blinked and watched as his eyes grew so dark, they reminded me of stormy oceans.

“That’s the most romantic thing I have ever heard,” I whispered, emotions thick in my voice.

His kiss was bruising, possessive. Obsessive. Just the way I loved it.

Then his grin turned slightly wicked and he trailed his mouth lower and lower down my body. I leaned on my hands watching him, and as he pressed his face between my thighs and inhaled, my head fell back.

When Raphael set his mind to something, he was all in. And God, was he ever.

His arms wrapped around my thighs, lifting them slightly, and then he licked me all the way from ass to clit. Steam crawled through my blood, lighting me on fire. I gasped, my fingers fisting the sheets. It was so dirty, so wrong, so inappropriate, but God, maybe that’s why it felt so good.

“Do that again,” I breathed. A deep sound of satisfaction came from his throat.

And he did it again. Again and again. The hot sweep of his tongue sent a violent shiver through me. A mindless haze brushed my thoughts away, leaving lust and insanity behind. I was so hot, burning up like a comet falling from space. My hips rolled beneath his mouth as he licked me everywhere he could reach. Each fiery wave coalesced into an empty ache between my thighs, until I could only feel my ache for him.

His arms tightened around my thighs and his mouth pressed harder on my pussy. My eyes rolled back into my head. I yanked his hair as hard as I could, and he finally raised his head. The blue in his eyes burned like flames.

“I want you inside me,” I begged.

He crawled over me, licking and nipping my stomach and breasts as he did. His body covered mine. He was so heavy. A warm, blissful heavy that made my skin sing with satisfaction. He kissed my neck, while bracing his hands on either side of my head. I realized he’d licked every part of my body and I’d barely touched him. Ineededto touch him, like my life depended on it. Tension rolled through him as my hands slid down his back, his sides, and when they settled on his abs, he closed his eyes, his jaw tightening.

“Lower,” he gritted. “My hand has been a poor substitute for my wife.”

My heartbeat fluttered and I slid my hand down until I cupped his erection. His forehead fell to rest on mine and a rumble escaped his chest. He pressed himself further into my palm. He felt hot, thick, hard and utterly masculine. A rush of longing clawed at my insides and I wrapped my hand around his length.

“Ah, fuck,” he groaned. So hot and smooth. My lower stomach filled with warmth. A pulse bloomed between my legs. I ran my hand down to the base and then all the way back up.

His hand cupped the side of my face. “I missed you so goddamn much,” he rasped, nipping my jaw.

“I missed you too.” I gave his hard cock a slow, gentle tug, and whispered in his ear, “I’ll make it up to you.”

Releasing his length, I straddled his hips. Resting my hands on either side of him, I leaned forward and kissed his throat. Then licked his skin because I loved the taste of him

“Fuck.” His hand cupped the back of my head, his fingers lacing through the strands. I couldn’t get enough of him. I ran my hands over his biceps, pecs, then back into his hair. And all the while, I kissed his throat and sucked on it, then nipped at his earlobe.

He fisted the hair at my nape to make me pull away slightly and I watched him with half-lidded eyes. My breasts brushed his chest, sending sizzles of pleasure lower and making me ache for friction. I ground down on his erection. It spread a fire through me that made me drop my head and dig my fingers into the sheets.

I rolled my hips against him, using his chest for leverage and rubbing my wetness up and down his length. Just as his cock brushed against my wetness and the head of his erection slid inside me, he groaned so deeply I could feel it vibrate through his chest. He was so big and a tremble rolled through me, my exhales heavy and uneven. My fingers curled on his abs as I sank onto him another inch. A delicious fullness felt like heaven and a throaty sigh escaped me.

His body was pulled taut beneath my hands and my whimper filled the space between us as he slid further down, then in one harsh thrust, his length disappeared inside me.
