I’m ready for the constant tension between us to dissolve. He’s still my boss, but with everything we’ve been through, it’s difficult to even remember our office dynamic out here in this hidden paradise.
My muscles are tense as my orgasm nears with every brush of his finger. I want nothing more than to extend this moment. After a few more seconds, I back away from his touch, removing my underwear before I crawl over the top of him.
“What’s going to happen when we go back to the real world?” I ask.
I peel my sports bra off, lifting up on my knees so he can remove his boxers.
His gaze ravages me while his deep voice sends shivers over my damp skin. “I’m going to handle it. I don’t have a condom.”
“I don’t—I’m not the hook-up type, usually.”
He smirks. “Neither am I. I can pull out.”
I nod, positioning myself on top of him. I’m not exactly sure where I’ve suddenly gotten the nerve to sleep with this man, considering his authority over my employment. I can’t seem to make myself care about that at the moment.
I reach down and grab his dick by the base, sliding it over my slick lips a few times. He groans at the contact, shoulder muscles straining. He doesn’t touch me even as I sink on top of him. I reach out to grab his shoulders to steady myself as I lift up and sink back down. I whimper, the friction igniting so many delicious sensations in my body. I feel powerful as I ride him, watching his gaze raking over my body.
He lets me take control, and I tilt my head down to kiss him again. It’s better this time because I’m sober and completely aware of every sensation. When I take a brief pause, he lifts up while still inside me, switching us around so that he’s on top.
Luke is always controlled. I’ve seen him at the office, in business meetings, and surfing the enormous waves of the South Pacific Ocean.
Aside from the fight with Garrison when he was drunk, he’s never lost his cool. Even when the masked man tried to kill me, he was every bit in power over his emotions.
With me, now, he’s letting it all go. He pounds into me mercilessly.
I’m the focus of his frustration, his anger, the uncertainty of the death threat, and even our current position of vulnerability in hiding.
I gladly let him. I can be what he needs right now.
His thumb reaches down to add pressure to my clit. The contact takes me where I need to be, sending shocks of ecstasy through my nervous system. The sensations ripple through us both as he moves faster.
My lips connect with his shoulder, and I taste his skin as we come down from the high. He jerks back from me, keeping his promise to pull out. He pulses beside me, holding me tight as he spills his come on the rock. His breathing is heavy, and I smile at the fact that he finally seems to be somewhat human.
We take a few moments to stare at each other as our heart rates decelerate. He closes his eyes, reaching a thick, muscled arm over to run his hand through his hair. I’m not ready to go back to reality. The water mixed with sweat is glistening on his firm chest.
“What the hell kind of workouts do you do?”
“SEAL stuff,” is all he says, pulling off of me with a shudder. He inspects my arm with the wet bandage, fussing over the way it’s sliding down my skin.
“We need to get back and wrap this up.”
I nod, looking around in the water for my sports bra. It and his underwear seem to have floated downstream under the waterfall.
“Hopefully, no one’s around.”
He turns his back to me, and I climb on. He swims us both to shore, and we quickly get dressed. Our clothes stick to our skin.
“We need to leave tonight,” he tells me.
I heave a sigh as I nod, uncertain of what awaits us in Dallas.
CHAPTER 28
LUKE
The plane touchesdown in Dallas by midnight. I intended to arrive during the night, so I could get to the office when no one else was there. I haven’t heard from Jackson about the investigation. I only told him I was returning an hour ago.
Kate is asleep next to me. Her golden hair is splayed around her, mouth parted as she drools on her shoulder.
