for a magazine, right?”
“Yep. It’s a small magazine struggling to get a foothold in the biz. I applied there after college and got what I thought was a pretty sweet job. I mean, it’s all right, but I don’t know that I had to move to NYC to get a good position.” Olivia sipped her water. “It is what it is I guess.”
“What brought you here then? A guy?” He shouldn’t be pushy, but he needed to know where he stood with her.
She gave him a disparaging look. “No. I met David right after I moved here. We were both transplants with impressive sounding jobs. But I didn’t make my career my identity like he did. I just thought that in order to build solid credentials, I should move to where the hub of the industry is at.”
“How did he take the other night?” Yes, he was being straight up nosey, but he needed to know if this ex was any competition.
Olivia looked at her phone. “Well, he’s persistent. And seems to think he’s irresistible and that I couldn’t have possibly called it off. Otherwise, I don’t know. I haven’t spoken with him.”
He considered her words. She certainly sounded finished with this David. But would she still be finished with him after Kane’s ship had headed back out to sea?

Olivia landed on her back on the bed, having already stripped off her boots. Kane was already out of his jacket, peeling off his shirt, while she wiggled out of hers. He got his pants stripped off and climbed on the bed to help her roll her jeans down.
They had their pizza and when they were deciding what to do after, Kane gave her a hungry look and suggested heading back to the hotel. He’d reserved it for Saturday night also, so he didn’t have to worry about a check out time, even though he had to be back to his ship in a few hours.
“I can’t believe we’re doing this again, Kane,” Olivia murmured against his neck.
“I can’t get enough of you.” He slid kisses down her face and neck until he reached her breasts.
They were both finally naked and in bed, and Olivia found herself having more sex in one day than she normally did in two weeks. Kane was a like drug, a potent drug that she could become addicted to after sampling once. This would be their fourth time together, so what would that do to her?
Make her out of her mind with wanting this man inside of her.
“Mr. Swenson - Oh wait, what’s your official title again?”
“Lieutenant,” his answer came out muffled against the skin of her belly where he was circling her belly button with his tongue.
“Okay, Lieutenant Swenson, I do believe it’s my turn to have my way with you.”
He paused and looked up. “Whatever the lady wants.” Kane climbed back up to stretch out next to her, his hands behind his head. “Do with me as you will, my lady.”
Olivia reached over to her purse and grabbed a packet a friend of hers had given her the previous weekend as a joke.
Kane quirked an eyebrow at her.
“Bubble gum flavor, for her pleasure,” she read verbatim off the packet.
“You’ll have to find out for sure.”
Olivia grabbed his length to roll the condom down. He jerked and twitched under fingers, and she deliberately took her time. Once her task was completed, she leaned down and licked him from base to tip.
He groaned and she licked her lips. “Mmmm, bubble-licious.”
“God, you’re hot,” he groaned, straining against himself as she took him into her mouth.
She felt him watching her, his hands digging into her hair as his hips worked with her rhythm. He made her feel ultra-feminine, more desired than she’d ever felt in any other relationship.
“I need to be inside of you.” Kane helped move her up his body so he could position himself at her entrance. She slid down his length and began the same frantic pace she had been keeping with her mouth.
Stretching over his body, she arched into him and he rose into her. He grabbed her head to invade her mouth, she kissed him back with the same urgency. When he reached between them to stroke her, she increased the pace.
She felt herself spiraling out of control, slamming down onto him with increasing urgency. His thrusts matched her in intensity until she sat up, throwing her head back while supporting herself with her hands spread on his solid chest, calling out her
