him to turn and lay her down. The flowers crushed beneath her and gave off an intoxicating scent that made her head spin. He covered her with his body and began to move. His thrusts were deep but slow, with a little twist of the hips that teased her clit until the first rapid flutters of climax began to fill her.

Their eyes locked. Zane thrust again and her orgasm burst through her, hard enough to make her claw at his back. Splinters of pleasure rocketed through her, piercing her, spreading throughout her entire body. Kendall cried his name and he answered with hers.

He began to shudder. She put her hand on his chest. “Wait.”

His look of confusion lasted only a second because she pushed at him until she could roll over and be on top. She eased herself back down his cock and settled on his hips for a moment. With her clit sensitive in the aftermath of orgasm, she gasped a little when she leaned forward to kiss him and felt the drag of herself on his skin.

She reached for his hands and he gave them. Their fingers entwined.

Kendall began to move, to rock, and at last to use the strength in her thighs to lift up and down on his erection as his hips rose to meet her thrusts and his cock grew impossibly huge inside her. It stretched her and she took him until finally his entire body clenched and shook with the force of his climax.

After a few seconds, she rolled off him and snuggled into his side, her head resting perfectly in the crook of his shoulder. Her hand fit just right on his broad chest, and she draped her thigh over his.

For a while, neither spoke. Kendall drifted, tired from a night with little sleep and a morning of completely fulfilling sex. Zane’s hand stroking her hair soothed her.

“The smell of these flowers is making my head hurt,” he said after a few minutes.

She smiled against his skin. “You put them there.”

He shifted a little. “And they’re staining the sheets.”

She didn’t move. “I’ll make sure they go on your bill.”

“You’re too good to me,” he said wryly.

“Hey, what can I say? I’m just that nice.”

He pushed up on one elbow to look at her. “You are nice, Frasier. Nicer than I thought you’d ever be to me.”

And for that, all she could do was kiss him.

Chapter 9

She’d never given herself up so completely to a man before. They made love when they awoke, this time in the shower built so perfectly for two. He fed her strawberries and waffles, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin when syrup made her lips sticky. He even combed her hair. Most of all, he talked.

She’d never been with a man so open about himself. His honesty encouraged her to be the same, and by the afternoon they’d spent the entire day in the room, making love and getting to know each other. She couldn’t recall ever being so comfortable with anyone in her life.

“Only a few days left,” Zane said at last, when they’d both agreed it was time to get up and hit the beach.

“I don’t want this vacation to end.” Kendall sighed.

“Can’t get enough of me, huh?”

She shot him a glance, but his face showed he was teasing. “Maybe.”

He reached to tug a long strand of her hair. “Kendall, a few days ago, you hated my guts. What happened?”

“Good question.” She considered. “It’s usually not hard to hate someone you don’t know. In fact, it’s a lot easier. I guess, when I got to know you, I learned I didn’t need to hate you.”

“I do blame myself, you know.” His words were quiet.

She sat up to look into his eyes. “Zane, you weren’t even aiming at him. His arrogance got him killed, not you.”

He bit at his lip, but nodded. “I know that. But…”

“But it’s easy to blame yourself. I know. I could’ve stopped him. Should’ve. But I didn’t. And I blamed myself for that, too.” She laughed a little. “See, we don’t need to see Dr. Marge anymore. We’re all fixed up.”

He took her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss each knuckle. “Kendall, do you think if we still act crazy, they’ll let us stay?”

“We’re not crazy,” she scoffed.

“Oh, I’m crazy.” Zane winked. “Crazy for you.”

His silly words made her heart thump. “You’re not so bad yourself.”

He put his hand behind her head and pulled her down until
