slept naked next to him. Ever since then she craved that again,
but was never able to tell him. In fact she hadn‘t had a restful
night since the night on the yacht.
The doors to the elevator opened and he retrieved his key
card from the slot before stepping through and marching down
the hall to his room without breaking his stride. Once inside his
bedroom he bent his head and kissed her but only released her
legs letting them slide down his body. Then he turned her
toward him and slowly backed her toward the bed all the time his
mouth moved over hers.
―You‘ll have to excuse me Lily, if I seemed rushed, but I

waited a long time for this.‖ He murmured against her mouth.
She never said anything but her hands went to the
buttons on his shirt, fumbling to get them undone.
―Well it looks like I‘m not the only one.‖
‗Do you ever shut up?‖ She smiled against his mouth
while shoving his shirt off of his shoulders forgetting that he
wore a tie.
He chuckled while reaching up and loosening his it
causing her laugh at her own eagerness. Tossing the tie on the
floor, he helped her strip off his jacket and shirt piling them on
the floor beside them. Her hands went to the belt of his slacks
and he stilled her. ―No. It‘s your turn.‖ He said huskily. Her
cheeks pinked up but she started undoing the buttons of her
blouse until it hung open revealing a light blue lacy bra.
―Nice.‖ He said while he slowly opened the ends of her
blouse and moved his fingers up the inside of the collar to slide it
off her shoulders. It fell in a soft swish behind her. Then his
fingertips moved over the swell of her breasts as his eyes
followed their path. ―Touch me too Lily.‖
She didn‘t need to be asked twice. She missed the feel of
him and easily ran her hands over the hard contours of his chest
savouring the masculine feel of him, ―I missed you.‖ She said
softly guiding her eyes up to his slowly.
His hands framed her face so he could look down at her
with rare affection, ―Me too darling. I can‘t even begin to
describe how these past few weeks have been for me. I should
have never touched you in Greece. It would have saved you so
much heartache.‖
She smiled faintly. ―Then I would have never known how
you felt Max. I never had regrets about that night ever—I
thought you did.‖ If that was the only memory she had of him it
would have been enough for the rest of her days.
―No, I cherished it.‖ He said releasing a long breath,

―More than you could possibly imagine. I thought it was just too
soon for you.‖
―Like I told you I would have married you when I was
sixteen if you asked.‖ He gave her a sinful grin.
―I think twenty is fair button. I wouldn‘t have touched
you until now anyway. You are young, but now you‘re my young
wife.‖
The word wife sounded so wonderful coming from his
mouth. Her arms went around his neck as she stepped up to him
and looped his arms around her pulling her tight against him as
he bent his head and crushed her mouth under his.
Soon she was forming her body against his and
responding as if someone lit a fire in her. His hands reached
down and undid the button of her skirt followed by the zipper.
His own belt had managed to get undone and was hanging
loosely from the loops of his slacks.
HE threaded his fingers in her hair and pulled out the
pins letting it tumble down her back while his other hand circled
around her lower back and pulled her tight against his body. He
knew she could feel the length of his erection against her soft
belly but she didn‘t move away, in fact she moved closer.
―Max you‘re driving me crazy.‖ She moaned against his
mouth.
―I am?‖ he chuckled moving her toward the bed, ―I‘m so
hard it hurts.‖ He pulled her hips tighter toward him, ―See?‖
―Should that be turning me on so much?‖ she asked
innocently, ―I mean we never—―
―Oh, Christ honey! It‘s your turn to shut up.‖ Her little
naive statement nearly made him explode.
She released a laugh as he scooped her up and tossed her
on the bed coming down on top of her. He wasn‘t only tall but
heavy with muscle and she loved the feel of his weight on her.
Then she heard him chuckle and shift his weight. ―What is it?‖

―I forgot to take my pants off.‖ He said quickly sitting up
and disposing of the rest of his clothing shaking his head at her
soft giggle. He was so eager to be with her that he‘d completely
forgotten about his slacks. Then he turned and looked down the
length of her body. She was still wearing her lacy
undergarments, but he purposely did that. He wanted to slowly
