“Shut up.” Her teeth chatter, and I wrap my arms around her, rubbing her arms. I look toward the dock and Ravi is walking away.
“God, what were you thinking?” I gather her closer to my side.
“I wasn’t.” She’s shivering but manages to smile.
After we board the yacht, I take her to my personal cabin. She showers and changes into a pair of my sweatpants and a hoodie. They’re slightly long and way too big on her, but she’s warm and that’s what matters. I shake my head and take a seat on one of the couches in the bar next to the electric heater. “Why would you do that?” I look up at her.
“I don’t know. I just saw you, and I acted.” she answers honestly, sitting next to me. “Thanks for these.” She motions to the clothes swamping her.
“Kennedy, I needed time on my own.”
She frowns and folds her arms. “I don’t want you to be alone.” She’s so sincere when she says this, I thaw. I’m not happy she did something so stupid, but being near her isn’t something I’m unhappy about. “You let Henry go.”
“I should never have held the guy against his will.”
“Amelia was glad to have him back. He proposed. But her father jumped in, and things got tense.”
I stand and pour us each a glass of bourbon, handing hers to her as I take a seat beside her. The drink warms me up from the inside, and I look over at Kennedy. I can barely believe she’s here with me, especially after the last time we were alone together. The thought of what I did to her makes me angry, and I fist my hands at my side.
She places her hand over mine. “I know you’re struggling with me being here.” she says as if she can read the dark thoughts going through my mind.
I pull her onto my lap, and she straddles me. “You have no fucking clue.”
“Are you going to tell me where we’re headed?”
“To the mainland. There’s a woman there who knew my mother, and she may be able to help me. My father always told me my Mom died in childbirth, but there’s more. I feel it.”
“Then I want to be there.” She places her hands on my cheeks.
“I have no idea what I’m even up against, Kennedy.”
“Then we’ll find out together.” She says sweetly.
My hoodie looks so cute on her. I tuck my hands under it, running my fingers over her skin. She closes her eyes, chewing on her bottom lip. I can feel myself harden under her. Apparently, she can too because she looks me in the eye then tugs off my hoodie. She’s bare underneath it, and I suck in a breath at her perfectly pert breasts.
“Don’t tempt me, Güzel.”
Nobody looks at me the way Kennedy does. Nobody looks at me like I deserve their affection. I look into her hypnotic eyes, and I don’t see a woman looking for perfection. I see a woman who accepts me just the way I am, and I’ve never had that.
She reaches for my hand and places one of it on her breast. I see her swallow hard. I know this is hard for her, opening up to me again, and it makes me desire her even more.
I knead her breast, and her nipples feel like pebbles on my palm. I twist one, and she lets out a breath, throwing her head back, pure pleasure on her face. I suck the other nipple into my mouth, and she lets out a moan. The game of sucking and twisting continues, and she seems to be enjoying it. I bite on one of her nipples, and she groans in pleasure.
“I don’t do soft, or sweet.”
“Then fuck me.” she hisses. “Fuck me like you would one of your whores.”
I grip her chin in my hands, bringing her eyes to me. “Don’t you ever say that. You’re not like them. You’re so much more than a man like me should have.” I growl and tug her face to mine. I kiss her like it’ll mark her. I kiss her like the fact that I want her as much as I do won’t destroy us both.
“Take me to bed, Canim.”
I close my eyes at that endearment. My mother called me that.My dear. I stand with her legs still wrapped around me as I walk her backward to my personal cabin. I place her down on the bed and tug off the sweatpants.
“You’re perfect.”
She spreads her legs slowly, and I know I’m in trouble with this one. I undress and climb between her legs, running my beard against her thighs, making her moan. I kiss my way up her thighs and dive in, my tongue lapping up her juices. I suck on her clit while I push a finger into her, crooking it until it has her whimpering my name. I feel the darkness, but shake it off, kissing my way up her body, sucking and biting her nipples. She takes my face in her hands, her eyes meeting mine.
“I want you to fuck me, Sai.”
