Well… suppose we should get this over with quickly.Eden arranged her ships in a cluster so Neal would have an easier time winning. Even then, the man called every squarearoundthe cluster while she sank three of his ships.
She hoped he wasn’t a sore loser. She had just gotten over being sore herself.
Chapter 8
Liam
Am I a lucky guy, or what?
He couldn’t help but think that every time he happened to catch Brim’s eye from across the table, where they acted like children stuck inside on a rainy day. Except they were on a gorgeous tropical island full of sun and fun.
Brim brought that out in him, though. They had only met twice, and already, he knew she was his favorite girl on the whole island.
What a dangerous realization…Twenty women were wearing white, ready to receive his attention whenever he was ready to give it. All he had to do was say the passcode to one of the other white-clad beauties, and they would be in business.
Except Brim held his attention. Whether it was that giggle when one of them scored or the way she kicked her legs out to the side as she focused on the game, Liam was beguiled. He wanted to know everything about her, and it took his entiresense of being tonotask her personal questions… like her real name. As much as he liked calling her Brim, he wanted to know her real name even more.Claire. Or maybe Thea. Maria?Something short and sweet, like her.
Of course, he also thought about what he’d like to do to her. While Liam’s original plan was to enjoy the resort for itsotheramenities that afternoon, being in Brim’s presence brought him back to the night before.When she sucked my cock like she had been waiting for it all day.How bored had she been in that shower, anyway?When she clung to me and urged me to come using nothing but her body.Brim had been so eager to have him inside her. As much as he hated the wordsnot like the otherswhen used together like that, Liam knew more than a few escorts, let alone off this island. He could tell when they were faking it at least ninety percent of the time.My goal is always to make it real.Nothing got Liam off more than knowing the woman he was with had a good time. The ego boost often lasted him the rest of the week.
She bested him at Battleship. When Liam conceded defeat, they put the pieces back in the box and remained at the table, still the only ones in that room.
“So…” A merciless gaze fixed upon Liam when he least expected it.Careful, son.He meant what was twitching in his pants. “What do you have in mind now? I’m still available for a couple more hours.”
As much as Liam had been trying not to think about what she looked like beneath her dress for the past hour, it was all he could think about now.She’s utterly divine.Two tiny nipples poked through the white fabric of her dress, announcing that she probably wasn’t wearing a bra. Her thighs peeked out from beneath her skirt. Despite having fucked this woman barely twelve hours ago, Liam wanted her again.
Well, wasn’t that why he was here?
“I have to admit, Brim, that even though I know the nature of this island and what you’re implying, you’ve left me speechless. I don’t know how to ask what I’m thinking.”
“Oh?” Her pretty pink lips spread into a delicious smile as she curiously cocked her head, exposing the sweetest part of her throat. “You didn’t have any trouble last night.”
“Those were different circumstances,” he asserted. “I was a man on a mission. Namely, to spend some naked time with a woman more than happy to have me there.”
“And now?”
Oh, she was really teasing him. “Well! I might as well say what’s on my mind.” He smacked both hands on the table. She was not perturbed. “You and me, hanging in my room.”
She brushed her fingers through her long hair. “Say the magic words, and I’m all yours.”
Damnit, what was today’s passcode? It had been left in the daily announcements in his room’s mail slot.
“Hot steam,” he dared to remember.
With another giggle on those lips, Brim propped her breasts up on the table and threaded her fingers beneath her chin. Were her brows narrowing? They were narrowing.
“Hot cream.”
Something as silly as that shouldn’t have been so hot, but here Liam was, thinking of all the ways he could fuck her right now.Not here.Nobody would bat an eye if they walked in on them breaking the table, but Liam wanted a more comfortable place. And he knew exactly how to get a public thrill while still going back to his room.
He escorted Brim to the elevator. They were the only ones inside. The moment the doors closed, and he pressed the button for the top floor, he circled his arm around Brim’s waist and let his hand linger on her ass.
“Tell me one thing you like, love,” he growled into her ear. “What’s one thing I can do to ensure you’re bouncing on my cock within the next ten minutes?”
The doors dinged open. Brim stepped forward, his hand still on her body.
“Keep talking like that.”
She said nothing about his room.Probably not the first one she’s seen.Yet Liam loved the way Brim looked in it, bypassing the sitting area with the TV and coffee maker and heading straight for the window overlooking the front of the resort. From the top floor, one could see the pool, the cottages, and the marina, where a boat from another island currently dropped off supplies. Few men on the island weren’t guests, but two of them were there in gray uniforms, hauling boxes back to the resort in golf carts.
