chair was large enough for three people so he laid down beside her, pulling her onto his chest and taking over the kiss. He pulled her head down to his and deepened the kiss, his tongue delving into her mouth, demanding entry, then stirring her own tongue to life, demanding that hers duel with his in a foreplay of the mating ritual both of them were desperate for.

Kate reveled in the kiss and more than allowed him to take over. She became putty in his arms, a willing partner in the mating ritual. She only battled with her will for a moment, then released her control, pushing aside her concerns for the future and the pain of the past.

This was Carlo. Any man as sensitive as he was couldn’t be as bad as her last experience. With that thought, she arched her back and gave in, telling him with her body that she was willing to follow through with the intimacy that they were currently sharing.

Carlo wasn’t sure what the message she was trying to send but he loved the feel of her soft skin against his. He liked the way she purred when he ran his hand down her side, or when he spanned her flat stomach with his palm. He loved the way she gasped when he moved his mouth from hers to her ear and down her neck to nibble on her collar bone. She was so sensitive, so responsive, he was going out of his mind to take her, to possess her.

Kate ran her fingers down his back and felt powerful when his muscles moved along with her hand. His body was moving towards her hand, desperate for her touch. She wanted him to speed up but he was going tortuously slow.

Carlo untied the string that held her top against her neck, pulling the red triangle down that had been protecting her perfect breast from his full view, teasing him with a glimpse but not a full view. He groaned when her nipple hardened before he even touched it. His hand moved across the sensitive bud and her back arched, pressing the perfect mound closer to his touch.

“Kate?” Carlo asked, his voice harsh.

Kate opened her eyes and looked into his own. “Please make love to me,” she whispered, the fear evident in her voice but her body demanding that he continue what he was doing to her.

Without another word, Carlo stood up and scooped her into his arms. Kate grabbed the towel at the last minute and covered herself up but was thrilled as Carlo walked purposefully towards her stateroom.

Once there, he opened the door with one hand, not letting her out of his arms and kicked it shut behind them.

”Are you sure?” he asked, letting her legs go so they moved sensuously along the length of him. “No regrets?” he asked.

“I’m sure,” she said, releasing her arms from his neck since her feet were now on the floor and she couldn’t reach his neck anymore, but her hands remained on his chest, her fingers feeling the muscles that her eyes had watched all day, reveling in the power she had to make his body react to her lightest touch.

“I won’t be able to stop,” he warned and bent down to take her lips again in a driving kiss that didn’t allow her to answer.

Kate didn’t mind. She stood on her toes, eager to feel her body against his, not sure what to do next, afraid of the feelings going away.

Carlo lifted her up and placed her in the middle of the bed. He tossed off his swimming suit and followed her down, but not before Kate saw his manhood, then felt it against her leg. She was only slightly terrified by the sight but as soon as his body covered hers and his mouth covered her nipple, she was on fire again. No other thoughts had time to enter as he kissed her skin, her breast, moving to the other side and discarding her bikini top completely. The bottoms followed and Carlo’s hands were everywhere, touching, sending tingles throughout her body.

Kate felt the pressure against her core and wanted to stop, but then his velvety hardness filled her, slowly making her whole. Her eyes widened as the pleasure increased. There was no pain, no humiliation. She looked into his eyes and gasped as he started moving. The sensations his body produced were foreign to her and scared her but she held onto his shoulders, running
