needed a few moments with her.
Still she had to ask, ―You‘re not doing this out of pity are
you?‖
―When have I done anything out of pity honey.‖ He bent
his head and brushed his mouth across hers, ―I love the way you
taste.‖ He said against her mouth, ―And you smell like
wildflowers.‖
―hmm-mm.‖ was the only sound she could manage.
That soft sound of surrender provoked the fire burning in
him for her and he took her mouth completely under his. This
time she opened hers in response to his gentle coaxing and his
tongue slipped past those lush full lips to caress hers. He was
thankful of the tilted windows of the hummer at that moment. It
was not like him at all to do public displays of affection. Even
holding hands with a woman wasn‘t in his character, but he just
couldn‘t keep from touching her.
Lily groaned and leaned into him. She felt hot all over
and the intimate touch of their tongues was surprisingly erotic.
Her arms went around him and her fingers threaded through his
hair trying to get closer.
He lifted his head to look at her and she slowly opened
her eyes. Smiling he bent his head again and took her mouth
again. Lily must have been the only woman who could possibly
look more beautiful when flushed with passion. One day she
would be completely his.
With the last of his will, he finally put his hands on her
waist and pulled her away from him, ―Okay button we have to

stop.‖ She looked disappointed and he almost kissed her again,
―Look, there‘s evidence on me of what we‘ve been doing in here
and although I‘m enjoying this as much as you are, I don‘t need
to advertise it to the public.‖
It took Lily a moment to understand his meaning than
her eyes widened. ―Oh, gosh. Max—I‘m sorry.‖
―You would be.‖ He said kissing her on the lips briefly,
―but it‘s not necessary, I like kissing you.‖
She blushed as he grabbed her hand and opened the door
before she could respond. Did he really mean that? He seemed
so casual about the whole thing despite his confession that he
thought she was beautiful. Part of her started to think he was
only being a good friend by showering her with attention—but
that kiss! If she thought she was warm before when he kissed
her, she was scorching now. Then she began to think about his
body on hers again. If he combined that with the way he just
kissed her she‘d be lost and there was no way she‘d want him to
stop.
It had taken her and Max a little longer because of what
they‘d been doing in the car, so Nikos and Helene walked down
the dock already. The driver helped Max with their luggage and
led the way.
Lily paused at the magnificent sight. ―Oh Max, it‘s
beautiful!‖ The yacht looked like a small mountain but was
beautiful. Lily had never seen anything like it. Then her
excitement was crushed when she saw Helene leaning over the
rail waving at them. Well, probably more at Max.
‗You‘re girlfriend is here.‖ She mumbled.
―Yeah well let‘s hope you don‘t drive her one like you
wanted to at breakfast.‖ He said with a glint of amusement while
looking down at her.
She released a frustrated breath and didn‘t look at him
but her feet instead. She was a little ashamed at the jealousy

she‘d been feeling because she had no right. Max wasn‘t hers,
―You knew?‖
―Why do you think I kissed you? I thought you were
going to leap over me to get at her.‖ He grinned, ―Normally I
wouldn‘t mind if you wanted to crawl on me, but Helene is a little
more experienced with competition.‖
―Max, she was rubbing her breasts on you!‖ she said as he
started leading her down the dock.
He chuckled and dropped his gaze to hers, ―Yours are
nicer.‖ He said.
―Max!‖ she exclaimed wide-eyed.
―my point is, don‘t worry about her. She doesn‘t hold a
candle to you.‖
―you say that but she has skills I couldn‘t imagine.‖
He narrowed his gaze at her, angry that she would put
herself in such a category as Helene, ―She has skills that are
common with women like her, don‘t knock yourself Lily. If you
knew how aroused I was in the car from one simple kiss, you
wouldn‘t doubt yourself.‖
―Simple?‖ That was simple?
He grinned sinfully, ―Oh honey you are a treat!‖ he said
and then chuckled deeply and slid his arm around her waist. If
she thought that was a kiss, he had a hell of a lot more to teach
her.
―Stop it.‖ She flushed.
He just continued to chuckle as he led her up the ramp
onto the ship. Nikos was waiting and Helene raced over to his
side, but she didn‘t touch max this time. It‘s too bad, thought
