“Snuggling.”

She smacks my arm again. “Is this a one-night stand? Did you mean what you said about every day for the rest of your life, or was that a line? Is this just…” She wrinkles her nose. “Just fucking?” She spits the words like they taste bad.

“What do you think this is?”

“Uh-uh.” She wiggles in my lap, so we’re nose to nose, her expressive hazel eyes pinning me in place. “Answer my question first. What is this to you?”

“It’s a beautiful woman in my arms. It’s a wonderful night that I don’t want to end. It’s the beginning of something, but I can’t promise how long it will last.”

“You don’t make promises you can’t keep.”

“Exactly.”

“What can you promise me?”

“To treat you like a queen for as long as I’m here.”

I would have sex with Zoe every day for the rest of my life if I could, but that isn’t what our future holds. We don’t know where my next business venture will take me or what this town will need from her. Can she walk away from them? If I asked her to be mine, to leave Rainwater Bay, would she?

Zoe’s the entire package. The kind of woman I would be lucky to spend my life with, if I were the settling down kind.

I love running our company.

I love solving complex problems on an international scale.

I love searching for that next great adventure.

Rainwater Bay is a haven. Can it be my life? I don’t know. This is too new for me to make those decisions.

If she needs declarations of undying love before we sleep together, I can’t give her that.

This night is already more than I expected, more than I dreamed possible.

Honestly, I didn’t expect her to let me through the door, and now I’ve got her naked in my arms. How can I complain?

She nibbles her bottom lip.

I tug it free. “Your turn. What do you want?”

The blanket drops from her shoulders and she takes my hand. “Come to bed.”

“And then?”

“Makeme scream your name.”

I stand. “How do I do that?”

“Is your mouth good for anything besides endearing pick-up lines?” She slides our hands to the mound between her legs and guides my finger between her hot, wet folds.

My cock thickens, wanting to be set loose to devour this woman. “It’s even better.” I flip her over my shoulder and carry her to her room.

She giggles—the sweetest sound in the world besides her hungry moans—and squeezes my ass as I maneuver us through her door. This will be a night she never forgets for all the right reasons.

I toss her on the bed, crawling toward her.

She presses her hand to my chest. “Pants off.”

“I love when you’re bossy.” I flick the button free and step out of my pants and boxer briefs.
