the Billionaire’s Secret Desire(34)

there was some truth in it.

―Truthfully.‖ He answered as the car stopped next to the

docks. Max told the driver to get out and wait for them. He

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.
