Page 34 of A Grecian Getaway

Noelle looked up into his eyes. He reached up to move a piece of wet hair away from her face. As his hand caressed her cheek, she let out a breath. Had she been holding her breath all this time? Their bodies were touching, his arm wrapped around her waist. He rested his hand on her shoulder.

“I…I do.” She leaned into his touch.

You do. But if I get to touch you and hold you like this, I don’t give a damn.Slowly, he slid his hand down her arm, feeling the softness of her silky skin. When he reached for her hand, he placed it on his chest. They both breathed heavily as they stared into each other’s eyes. He reached up and tilted back her chin. With one last look, hoping he was reading Noelle correctly, Demetri placed a soft and gentle kiss on her lips. Then he drew back and asked, “Would you like to keep snorkeling? Or did you have something else in mind?”

Before she could answer, a group of teenagers showed up and were making a racket near to where they were. Demetri grumbled a few things in Greek.

“I think that’s enough snorkeling for today,” Noelle interrupted.

“Yes, I think so too. Are you okay now to swim back to the shore? I will grab the rest of our things and meet you.”

She nodded and he watched her swim towards the beach to wait for him while he gathered their belongings from the rock. He refused to admit that every moment spent with Noelle became imprinted on his heart, his body, and his soul.What am I doing? I’m failing the test miserably. But I just don’t give a shit.

Chapter 24

SANDY DESIRE ~Noelle~

The water felt good on Noelle’s skin. It was a sweltering day, like usual, and she felt especially warm after the intense moment she’d just experienced with Demetri. But she was happy to make it back to the shore after the coral incident.It would have been nice if those kids hadn’t interrupted us. What would I have said? I know what I want to happen.

After Demetri collected their belongings, they decided they would get some lunch. But first, they wanted to rinse off the sand and salt water and change out of their suits into some fresh clothes. They found an outdoor shower at a tiny beach hotel down the road.

Demetri stepped under the water, pulled Noelle close, and used his hands to wipe off the sand from her body. “Let me help you.”

He was slow and deliberate. His hands skimmed down her arms to the tips of her fingers. Tenderly, he moved his hands to her back and wiped away the beads of sand that remained. The sensual touch of his fingertips smoothed away a few straggling morsels of sand from the top swells of her breasts. He slowly swept under her arms and down the sides of her torso, brushing the edges of her breasts that peaked out from her bikini. Her breath hitched.

Moisture pooled at her center, and she pressed her legs together. She sighed when she realized she was holding her breath. He bent down as the water fell gently over his head. He looked up at her and moved his hands down and around one of her legs, checking for any stray debris. She giggled.

“Ahhh, another area you are ticklish.” He smiled and then, spreading her legs apart, he worked around her inner thighs, coming ever so close to the place she longed for him to touch but never making contact.So close. So very close.He swept down her legs, slowly caressing her skin, as his hands moved tantalizingly.

I’m going to combust… right here… on the beach… in Greece, if he doesn’t stop.Noelle grabbed his hand and tugged. “Here, let me help you” If his hands stay on me one more minute, my vagina is going to scream for attention.When he stood, she reciprocated his movements, caressing his body, wiping away the few beads of sand she found. There was nothing really left on either of them, but she needed to touch him. They had been standing under the shower for quite some time, lost in each other. But neither one of them moved from their positions. Her hands slid down from his wide chest to his narrow torso, sweeping along the divots and muscles of his glorious body. His trunks hung low on his hips, showcasing his beautiful V shaped form. She was holding her breath again.

Once there was no more sand to be found, she stepped away. “I, uh, think that’s all of it.” The last thing she wanted was to stop touching him, but they were in public.Probably shouldn’t get arrested for public indecency in Greece. Is that a thing here? I have only so much control! Being this close to him, touching each other, my suit is going to burst into flames at any moment. This man has the power to make me combust. I want him. There’s no doubt in my mind. I want to be with Demetri.

“Yes, we should go. I am starving, in more ways than one.” Demetri held out his hand.

Me too…She gathered her bag and glanced around. “Um, is there somewhere I can change?”

He pointed to the little hotel lobby. “I am sure there is a bathroom inside. I will meet you in the car.”

Noelle made aquick change, and before long, they were back in the car. With his sexy smile, Demetri asked, “Are you as hungry as I am, little lamb?”

Noelle smiled and nodded.I’m hungry, all right, but not for food.

Demetri drove them to a little restaurant in town, and they enjoyed a delicious meal as they chatted away with each other.

“Did you like the area where I took you snorkeling?”

“Yes. Everything is so beautiful here.”

“Yes, lots of beautiful places. But, how about the people? I wonder, have you met anyone interesting?”

“Maybe one. But I think he’s a trickster.”

“Hmmm, do I know him? Maybe I should speak with this person.”

“What would you say to him?” She cocked her head to the side.

“Tell me what he is doing wrong, and then I can tell you what I would say to him.”
