kissed him, letting her tongue discover how to drag the deepest moans out of him. He was an easy subject, groaning into her mouth with each swirl, opening up wider, taking more of her in. Wrapped in each others arms, the heat of their bodies rising against one another…it was almost too much to take.
    As the thick shaft of his erection pressed against her thigh, Elizabeth had the urge to grab hold of it. Instead she sent her fingers exploring the grooves and ridges of his body, over and around the wide head of his shoulder and down his side. Her nails dug into his back, clawing their way to his neck as he moved his hips in a slow circle, hinting at what was to come.
    As if her body knew what it needed, her hips tilted up, meeting the head of Thomas’s shaft. With a hiss, he threw his head back and buried himself in her warmth.
    Their bodies exploded on contact. Pure need, primal and hot, bucked their bodies against one another. With a throaty moan, Thomas plunged into her core deeper than before.
    Elizabeth gasped as he moved his hips in small circles, stroking her from the inside out. Restraint held him taut. Sweat formed on his brow. He rose up, propping himself on his arms. His muscles tensed with each drive into her.
    She arched back, cherishing the feeling of him moving inside her. Her innermost skin tightened against him, little tugs that seemed to stoke his fire hotter.
    He pumped harder. Faster. Barely breathing, he pounded his hips against hers, racing toward a climax that threatened to break Elizabeth in two. He closed his eyes, clenched them tight, biting on his bottom lip as if to hold onto the control slipping from his grasp.
    Dizzy with lust, Elizabeth reared up and grasped onto his shoulders. She nipped at his bottom lip and suckled it into her mouth. It seemed to drive Thomas to the edge.
    His whole body tightened as he pushed into her one last time and released himself with a force that Elizabeth felt down in her bones. His orgasm seemed to go on forever, filling her to the brim, his hips rocking slower, but just as fully.
    Sensations tingling in Elizabeth’s core coiled together into a hot spike of lust and need. And then, when Thomas pulled back on her hair to gaze in her eyes, she cried out, her body clenching and releasing in its own orgasmic wave.
    After the tide had flowed and ebbed and their bodies had spent, Thomas collapsed on top of her, the warmth of his breath coating her neck.
    Everything about this moment was perfection. The pressure of his body, heavy and hot. The way he stayed deep inside, even though their lovemaking had finished.
    All too quickly, Thomas rolled off Elizabeth’s quivering body, exposing her to the cold. She tugged the sheet over her breasts and sighed happily when Thomas sank into the mattress beside her.
    “Mind if I stay for a bit?” he asked, curling her into the crook of his arm.
    Yes. Stay. “I suppose that’d be all right,” she said.
    It seemed as though Elizabeth had just closed her eyes and nestled into Thomas’s chest, when two loud bangs pounded on her stateroom door.
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER SEVEN
     
     
    “Excuse me, Miss Scott.” Another two knocks. “As a precautionary measure, the Captain has asked all first class passengers to put on their life vests and assemble on deck.”
    “Yes,” Elizabeth called, catching Thomas’s perplexed gaze. “All right.”
    Thumping knocks continued down the hall until they could no longer be heard. In fact, when Thomas listened closely to the sounds of the ship, he realized the engines couldn’t be heard either.
    They’d stopped.
    Something wasn’t right.
    “What do you think is going on?” she asked.
    “I’m not sure.” Thomas dressed in a rush, tugging on his pants, shoving his arms into the sleeves of his shirt and coat. “It must have something to do with the damage to the ship.”
    Elizabeth moved much slower, wrapping herself in a sheet for cover. She curled into a ball on the bed and
