No distractions allowed. Then he comes face-to-face and lips-to-lips with a woman who blushes like an innocent\u2026 and kisses like pure sin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u00cdsa Rain craves a man who will cherish her, aches to create a loving family of her own.

Having fun for a change. Not being a grandma at twenty-eight years of age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Still, she couldn\u2019t stop second-guessing herself as Sailor led her out of the house through a side entrance that opened out into a small, manicured garden. \u201cI\u2019ll have to take off my heels,\u201d she whispered when she saw the pebbled path snaking through the garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u201cWant a piggyback ride?\u201d A playful grin. \u201cI promise not to molest your thighs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Goose bumps broke out over \u00cdsa\u2019s skin, her nipples tight. Reckless as she was feeling tonight, she might just have taken him up on his offer if she hadn\u2019t been worried her damn dress would split in two. \u201cMaybe when we\u2019re naked,\u201d she said instead, Devil \u00cdsa in full flower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Groaning, he doubled over as if she\u2019d punched him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Her lips twitching despite the melting sexual heat liquefying her bones, she leaned down to slip off her heels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Sailor waited, his hand firm around hers, until she was done. Taking the heels from her, he carried them in his other hand as \u00cdsa padded beside him on the grass that lay on this side of the pebbled path. The path ended at a weathered wooden gate, which, when opened, put them at the top of a narrow walkway that led down onto a beach \u00cdsa couldn\u2019t yet see but could hear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Her heart crashed in time with the waves as they made their way down to the beach while the mansion behind them pulsed with light and music. But she didn\u2019t turn and run away, she didn\u2019t stop and talk herself out of it, she didn\u2019t attempt to be a sensible adult. She followed a gorgeous, blue-eyed man down a dirt pathway to an effectively private beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">The sand that had been tracked onto the path was gritty under her feet, the air coming off the sea cool but not cold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u201cThe water\u2019s going to be icy, isn\u2019t it?\u201d she whispered to his broad back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u201cDon\u2019t worry, spitfire. I\u2019ll keep you warm,\u201d was the deep-voiced response. \u201cStop here.\u201d Jumping down to the beach, he reached up to grab her by the waist, swinging her down as if she were a featherweight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Something fluffy and mushy came to life inside \u00cdsa. \u201cHere?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Shaking his head, he said, \u201cRaj told me there\u2019s like a little cove area\u2014not a proper cove, but caused by\u2014 There.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u00cdsa saw it at once. A huge tree had fallen into the water at some point and smashed up against some rocks where it appeared to be stuck. Between the jutting rocks on either side and the fallen trunk was a naturally created pool. The water within it was pretty calm, and it looked as if they could get to it by clambering over some rocks that didn\u2019t appear too sharp or slippery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Of course, she\u2019d be walking over those rocks naked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u00cdsa looked up at the moon. Imagined it shining on the stark white of her body. Gulped. \u201cWill you close your eyes while I go in the water?\u201d Even Devil \u00cdsa wasn\u2019t up for blinding him with her glow-in-the-dark form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">A glance back. \u201cWhat\u2019re you going to bribe me with?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u00cdsa scowled. \u201cNot pushing you into the water right now.\u201d It was a toothless threat given his muscles and her lack of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Rubbing his jaw, he said, \u201cThree tongue kisses. That\u2019s my price, and I\u2019m not budging.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u00cdsa wanted to pounce on him all over again. \u201cTwo,\u201d she countered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u201cNuh-uh. Three. Or I\u2019m keeping both eyes wide open.\u201d Leaning in, he pressed his nose to hers. \u201cI really want to keep my eyes wide open.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">And \u00cdsa really wanted to kiss him and run her hands all over that sculpted chest. \u201cThree,\u201d she whispered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Copyright \u00a9 2017 by Nalini
