think about sex as often as he did. It was like he was drenched in pheromones and I was chemically incapable of resisting.
Strangely enough, I didn’t think I would resist even if I could. It was nice to know that my libido was still intact after everything that had happened, but it was even better to know there was this hidden part of myself I could still discover.
Ember had been right when she’d said this gave me the chance to be someone else, but it turned out there was this whole other part of myself left unexplored. I could simply let out that part of me for a bit.
Leaning back against the sun-warmed leather seat, I shifted so I could look at him. The bare skin of our knees brushed when I moved, and tingles raced from the point of contact and settled firmly between my legs.
Jaxon glanced down at our legs when I didn’t immediately remove mine from being pressed to his. Then he brought his eyes up to mine. “If you want to touch me, go ahead. I don’t mind.”
My cheeks heated under the intensity of his gaze. It didn’t leave mine for a second, but he still seemed to take in my flush and the way my nipples peaked beneath the thin fabric of my top.
“I didn’t do it on purpose.” I scooted back an inch to separate from him before crossing my arms over my breasts. “And was that an attempt at flirting?”
He shrugged but an amused lightness crept into his eyes. “Yes. It’s been a while since I’ve tried it, so I’m probably a little rusty. How am I doing?”
“You’re very direct.” I liked it, though. “Want to know more about the adventure park?”
If we didn’t change the topic, I was going to end up squirming in my seat just from the way he was looking at me and how charged the air in the cab suddenly felt between us. This guy definitely had a magnetism to him.
“Sure.” There was a knowing gleam in his eyes, but again, he didn’t call me on it. “What’s this park all about and how do you feel about rides?”
“It’s not really that kind of park. There are a few rides, but it’s more about getting to experience the wild side of Fiji in a safe and comfortable environment. Walk-through enclosures allow tourists to see the habitat of different kinds of species from the inside. There are marine displays too, so we can get a glimpse of what it’s like under the ocean around here.”
“Sounds pretty cool. Not the safe and comfortable part of it so much, but I suppose we’d get to see creatures we wouldn’t necessarily see if we just went for a walk.”
“Exactly. Plus, there are wooden walkways and bridges leading through the valleys the property is set on. It’s supposed to be a pretty unique experience. I wanted to get there early so we can get ahead of the crowds.”
“Good idea. Those places are usually packed as far as I know.”
I nodded. “If you want to be able to go on the Rollercoaster Zip Rail or the Jungle Water slide, which are the rides there are, it wouldn’t help to get there too late.”
“I’m definitely down for those.” He cracked his neck, grinning as he took me in. “Am I going to be on them alone?”
“Just because I like to plan things doesn’t mean I’m opposed to fun.” I raised my chin, holding his gaze firmly. “Depending on how wet we get on the water slide, I might need to borrow a shirt from you later. My suitcase is supposed to be arriving today, but I don’t know what time it’ll be there.”
He scratched his jaw. “I guess I could loan you one when we get back, or we could buy matching ones from the souvenir shop. They should have one of those at a place like that, and it seems like a quintessential honeymooney thing to do.”
“You’d wear matching T-shirts?” I nearly gaped at him.
A light brown brow arched at me, but I didn’t miss the laughter in his eyes. “Of course, I would. If my dearest wife wanted me to, I’d do just about anything.”
“Wait. Don’t tell me you’re a romantic at heart?”
He laughed out loud this time. “No one has ever accused me of that before, but yeah, I guess I am if you consider that kind of thing to be romantic.”
The gift shop was located near the entrance of the park,
