drown?â
Kelsi already was. In the rampant desire flooding her system. âYes,â she whispered.
She closed her eyes against the sun as he bent towards her. His lips merely grazed hersâa light rubbing back and forthâuntil she parted her mouth more and reached onto tiptoe to demand a heavier pressure.
She got it. His hand shifted to the back of her head, holding her firmly as his tongue delved into her hungry mouth. He stroked herâhot and powerful and with unmistakable purpose. The explicitness only excited her more. The force of her need took her by surpriseâroaring through her as he unleashed the sensual strength sheâd sensed he had. Sheâd been attracted to him from the moment sheâd recovered enough to actually see him after the accident. But even so she hadnât realised the extent of the chemistry sheâd feel with himâthat any hesitation or caution or modesty would be flung far from her at the first kiss.
âKelsi,â he muttered, breaking a few millimetres away. âI fly out to Canada tomorrow.â
âThatâs nice,â she said, half dazed and desperate to touch her mouth to his again.
He half laughed, half groaned. âYeah, butââ
âItâs OK, Jack,â she said, stroking his jaw with her fingers. âLetâs just enjoy this afternoon.â
On this beach with its infinite grains of sand and the water that would ebb and flow for ever, she felt as if this afternoon could be as endless as the number of stars in the sky. The fact thereâd be no tomorrow was just perfectâthereâd be no rejection then either. Sheâd had too much of that in the past. But she could be free if there was just the here and now.
He looked closely into her eyes, until he was seemingly satisfied with what he saw. As he should beâbecause it was her total submission to the spark between them. To how wanted he made her feel. And how much she wanted. Her âonâ button had been pushedâbut even she hadnât known she was capable of such thermonuclear heat.
He was so tall she had to bend back to kiss him, but that was good because it pushed her body hard against his. She felt the impact of the contact shuddering through every cell. Every nerve pinged with the need to know more of himâall of himâher body hummed for completion.
She rotated her hips, unable to remain still when there was the pleasure of him to be had. He slid his arms right around her, one hand low on her back pushing her even closer, and then he rocked, too, mimicking the movement of sex, making her want their bodies to be sealedâsubmerged.
In seconds she reached flashpoint. Moaning into his mouth as sexual energy rocketed around her body, desperate for release. He broke apart again and she moaned louder. But he walked around her, pressing kisses on her face and neck as she panted. His fingers traced over her shoulders, playing with the thin straps of her dress. Until he stood behind her, both of them facing out to the horizon.But she was unable to see it, lost in the sense of intimacy heâd spun around her.
She trembled as he slid his hands up her thighs, taking her dress up with them. She didnât care how outrageous she was being. How fast this was. All she wanted was his touchâeverywhere.
Despite the tightness contracting her muscles, her legs wouldnât hold her any more. She leant back against him. Firm hands on her waist pulled her down to her knees, an inch of water washed over her legsâdelightfully cool against her burning skin.
âYou want to surf something?â He nuzzled the nape of her neck.
She tried to push her knees farther apart to give him better access, but they dug into the wet sand. Heâd knelt, too, his front sealed to her back, his thighs framing hers, his erection pressing behind her. She couldnât answer, her breathing shot, so hot, as he kissed over the top of her
