their blossoming romance.
Running away...

has taken a toll. Following an emotionally devastating case, she returns to her
homeland, St. Lucia. While her uncle is recovering from a heart attack, she
helps out with his floundering tour company. The product of a holiday affair,
Crescy is determined not to follow in her mother’s footsteps. But her resolve
is severely tested when she meets Marcus Sullivan. Can she convince him that
they can have more than a fling? Or will his secret be too much to overcome?
★☆★☆Excerpt★☆★☆
She sucked in a deep breath.
“I would love to show you my beach,” she said.
Half an hour later, she
wasn’t so sure. She’d put on her most modest swimsuit, but it was still a
bikini and showed way too much flesh. Skin, which at the moment, was screaming
out for Marcus’s touch. Even though she still had on her aunt’s ugly dress, it
was as if he had Superman’s X-ray vision and could see through to what lay beneath.
She thought back to his eyes on her chest when she’d inadvertently flashed him
when delivering the coffee earlier. Now she was paying the price; her breasts
ached for his hands to touch what his eyes had caressed.
He wore the swim trunks that
had featured in several erotic daydreams yesterday. Her eyes swept over him, and
a definite tenting appeared at the front of the already tight fabric.
“I’m going to have to risk
drowning to cool off,” he said. “Are you coming?”
“In more ways than one,” she
muttered, then stripped off her dress and followed him toward the sea. Last
night’s storm had thrown even more than the usual debris onto the beach so they
picked their way across the seaweed and coconut husks. Once in the water, he
dived in, swimming with strong strokes that showed off his muscles. She didn’t
have the energy to chase after him so she floated in the warm water, watching
the clouds pass overhead. Strong hands grabbed her waist and pulled her against
a tall, hard body.
“It’s no good,” Marcus whispered
into her ear.
“What’s no good? The beach?
We can go to another, but it will be crowded.” She gave up trying to resist him
and let herself melt against him, her back to his chest, their legs tangling in
the water. At least he was able to stand. Otherwise, she probably would have
drowned because her muscles refused to cooperate. His hands crept up her sides
till they rested under her breasts.
“The beach is fine. It’s no
good trying to resist you. I want you so bad, Crescy. You’re all I can think about.”
“Marcus…” she moaned as his
thumbs brushed over her sensitive nipples. He bent his head and licked the salt
water from her neck.
“Five minutes. I want five
minutes to touch and taste you.”
She nodded dumbly. His hands
slid under her bikini top, squeezing and molding her breasts. His fingers plucked
and caressed her hardened nipples until she thought she might pass out. One
hand slipped back down her waist and into her bottoms where his fingers rubbed
and teased until she hung on the edge of oblivion.
“Marcus,” she gasped when his
fingers slid inside her. He spun her around so she was facing him. She was
about to protest the loss of his touch when his fingers began their magic
again, only this time his mouth was on her breast. As he sucked and licked her
now naked chest, his fingers increased the tempo, sliding in and out of her in
rhythm with the waves. She was panting heavily, her weight supported by Marcus
and the buoyant water.
Waves of sensations crashed
through her until a tsunami flooded her whole body with pleasure. She repeated
his name over and over again, the one word that would form in her overwhelmed
brain, until his lips covered hers. She bit back a cry of disappointment when
he set her back on her feet and swam away.
Her little patch of heaven
had just crept a bit closer to the real thing.
