I couldn’t even be embarrassed for what I just did. The lust invading every inch of my body wouldn’t allow it.
“That’s my good girl.” I tucked myself back into my jeans and leaned over her until our noses touched. “You’re lucky we’re about to land.”
She wet her lips, brushing them against mine when she spoke. “Why is that?”
I grabbed her jaw and thrust my tongue into her mouth so she could taste herself. “Because if we weren’t, I’d be fucking you right now, Red.”
A shudder ran through Lexi’s half-naked body. “And you think I’d let you?”
“It’s going to happen.” I sucked on her tongue. “Sooner rather than later.”
CHAPTER 30
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER
Lexi
My jaw nearly unhinged when Killian revved the suped-up Jeep through the lush green jungle, the tires crunching over loose gravel and snapping branches as vines scraped along the sides of the vehicle. With the top off, the humid air clung to my skin, heavy with the scent of damp earth and something sweet, like overripe fruit baking in the sun.
Then the trees parted.
An enormous modern villa emerged from the dense thicket like something out of a dream. Sleek glass walls stretched floor to ceiling, reflecting the endless sea of green surrounding it. Wraparound balconies jutted out from both levels, lined with railings and scattered with plush lounge chairs that looked like they belonged in a five-star resort.
The entire structure seemed to hover on the edge of the steep hillside, as if it had been carved straight into the jungle itself.
Killian pulled the Jeep onto a winding white gravel path that curved toward the entrance, the tires crunching loudly in theotherwise wild, untouched quiet. He jerked up the emergency brake, the vehicle giving a slight lurch as it settled, angled just enough to remind me we were perched on the side of a drop.
Beyond the villa, the jungle stretched endlessly, layers of green cascading down the mountainside. Somewhere in the distance, I could hear rushing water, maybe a waterfall, and the sharp cry of unseen birds echoing through the canopy.
An older woman and a young guy appeared at the glass entrance, each holding a brightly colored tropical drink, condensation dripping down the sides of their glasses. Behind them, I caught a glimpse of the interior. It was all polished stone floors, airy open spaces, and a shimmering infinity pool that seemed to spill straight into the jungle below.
“Are you going to get out or just sit there all day?” Killian hovered just outside the car, swinging his gaze in my direction.
I couldn’t get a word out. My eyes darted from the villa to the endless greenery, completely overwhelmed by the sheer, untamed beauty surrounding us.
A rustle sounded above, and a small brown monkey leapt from a branch hanging over the balcony, its tail whipping through the air as it disappeared into the trees.
A gasp tore from my throat. “Holy shit, did you see that?”
“Yeah, I’m not blind, Red. They’re cute, but they’ll shit on your head if you’re not careful, and they’re loud as fuck in the mornings.” Killian just stood there like it was no big deal that there was some wild animal loose in the trees. That all of this was just a normal occurrence for him—which I supposed it was now that I took a second to think about it.
“Bienvenidos! Welcome to Casa de Campo,SeñorDavenport.” The older woman dipped her head, and Killian grabbed the fruity drink from her outstretched hand.
“Thanks, Maria.” He hitched his thumb over his shoulder at me as I climbed out of the Jeep. “That’s Lexi.”
“Welcome, Ms. Lexi.” She offered a warm smile, then handed each of us a white mesh bracelet with a fob attached. “These can be used to access the private areas around the property, to charge expenses to your room, and they also serve as keys to your accommodations.”
“Great.” This girl was heading to the spa. There had to be one here, right?
“And this is our new bellboy, Antonio.” Maria motioned at the young man beside her.
The guy’s dark eyes razed over me, a grin curling his lips as he handed me the tropical drink with the colorful umbrella. “Bienvenida,bella.”
Beautiful? Well, geez, thanks. I still felt groggy after that plane ride. I’d almost fallen asleep on the ferry to the private island, which had been just a short boat ride away from the airport.
After that mind-blowing orgasm, my body still hadn’t recovered. A tremor raced through my legs remembering the feel of Killian’s tongue dragging over my clit.
“Excuse me, what did you just say to her?” Killian glared at the bellboy, murderous daggers shooting at the poor guy. He loomed over him, his massive form dwarfing the shorter man. “Don’t talk to her, don’t look at her, and don’t you get any fucking ideas about her at all. Do you understand me, Antonio?”
