Read His Need, Her Desire for Free Online

had the most incredible sex of her life. Primal and satisfying. Can I pass this up? Her body wanted it, no question about it. Her mind though, her mind urged caution.
    Tabitha stepped into the attached bathroom. Looking back at her from the mirror was a woman she barely recognized. Her eyes were dark and her skin flushed. She had total sex hair. She fished a brush out of the drawer and made herself presentable. Putting her decision on hold, she headed up on deck.
    Marcus and Tabitha enjoyed a light lunch and relaxed on deck. The ocean was beautiful, soothing and calming all at once. Marcus made no reference to their encounter or the decision he'd put in her hands. Tabitha sensed he was trying to put her at ease by suppressing his intensity. The undercurrent of desire was still there, but muted to a degree.
    The vessel was heading back toward Oahu when Tabitha spotted something in the water. She went to the railing. "Marcus, come here. There are humpbacks." She motioned him over.
    Marcus joined her, sliding his arm over her shoulder. They watched together as two humpback whales slid through the ocean waves in tandem.
    Tabitha leaned into him. "They're so enormous! It's amazing."
    Her enthusiasm made Marcus smile.
    Huge scalloped flippers dipped in and out of the water. They were so close that Tabitha glimpsed the barnacles on the surface of their skin. The closer whale dove and moments later thrust into the air, breaching, before disappearing back beneath the waves, its tail slapping the surface as it submerged.
    Tabitha grasped his arm. "Marcus, they're wonderful!"
    "Yes, it is wonderful."
    Tabitha turned into his arms as she realized he wasn't referring to the whales. He kissed her and she responded eagerly.
    *****
    When they returned to the hotel, Marcus made no mention of specific plans to get together again. He escorted her to her door and kissed her. It wasn't a peck, but it wasn't deep and sensual either. He left her there, bewildered, while he walked away.
    Tabitha supposed this was his way of not pressuring her. Though he didn't say it explicitly, the next move was up to her, and it came down to trust.
    As Tabitha thought about it, she realized it wasn't Marcus that she didn't trust. It was herself. Tabitha didn't know if she could give up control. She was afraid of losing herself. She sensed it would be either the most liberating thing she had ever done or the biggest mistake she would ever make.
    Marcus wouldn't deliberately hurt her. He had given her no indication of excess aggression. In fact, he was one of the most controlled people she'd ever met. He'd slipped off his self-imposed leash when he made love to her on the yacht, but even then, he hadn't completely let go. She speculated upon what it would take to overwhelm his self-discipline.
    Tabitha made a decision. She knew what she was going to do. She wanted Marcus on a primal level. She'd never wanted anyone else like this. The risk was worth the potential reward. What if we only have these few days together? She wanted to make the most of them.
    After showering and shaving her legs, Tabitha carefully blew out her hair so it curled and fluffed attractively. She applied her makeup, emphasizing her brown eyes with smoky highlights. She hadn't brought many fancy outfits with her, but she had her favorite blue dress. It fit her well and always gave her confidence when she wore it. She slipped on her heels and thought about how to proceed. Should I call him? Just show up at his door?
    Tabitha didn't want to lose her nerve, so she simply left her room and headed toward the elevator. Marcus's room occupied one of the top floors. She hadn't been to his room, but he'd mentioned the number. As the elevator ascended, Tabitha's heart pounded in her chest.
    When Tabitha arrived at his floor, she hurried down the hall, scared she might lose her nerve. She knocked on the door and waited, struggling not to back away. The door opened and Marcus stood there framed in the
