“Mm.” I suddenly realized how close Nolan was, and how he was looking at me.
Before I could say anything, he was kissing me. And I was kissing him back.

I was being stupid, and I knew it. I needed to pull away, to tell Nolan that this could never happen. I couldn’t tell him about Landon, but I had to stop.
No matter how much I told myself not to go any further, however, I somehow simply couldn’t do it. Nolan tasted like coffee and fruit, and the way he had his one arm wrapped around me had my knees weak.
I kicked off my heels so that my feet could sink into the sand. It was cool in the shade of the cove, but it did feel somewhat strange through my stockings. I had a feeling that I wouldn’t be wearing those for much longer, though, so I ignored it.
Nolan was the first one to pull back from the kiss, his gaze catching mine as the ocean continued to crash behind me.
“We probably shouldn’t be doing this,” he said breathlessly, though I could see the hunger in his eyes.
“We probably shouldn’t,” I agreed, hoping that he had stronger self-control than I did.
He did not.
He wrapped me up in both arms this time, and the kiss was even deeper, even more passionate. The desire grew in my soulin waves, and the fact that I was, once again, taking part in something completely taboo soon moved to the very back of my mind. I’d worry about it afterward.
I could feel Nolan’s fingers searching for the edges of my clothing, and the sensation drove currents of goosebumps across my skin. I pushed myself against him, encouraging him to go further, to let all pretense of calm go.
In a swift, surprising move, Nolan lowered me to the ground, so that he was laying behind me.
His hands, expertly trained from his time in the kitchen, made swift work of the buttons on my shirt and the latch of my bra. Within less than two minutes, he had maneuvered all of my clothes onto the sand. I felt the grains of it all over my skin, and it somehow only spurred on the feeling in my stomach.
Nolan pulled me against him, and I realized that he’d gotten himself undressed in the same amount of time.
But he wasn’t going to go for gold right away. He held my head in one hand, holding his face close to mine. With the other, he began to let his fingers dance over my body, starting with my clavicle. His touch was gentle and precise, as if he were working with a delicate dish.
I felt the heat of his breath against my cheek and closed my eyes, taking in every sensation that was rushing over me all at once.
“You are beautiful,” Nolan whispered, and I shivered in his grip. “Truly exquisite.”
No one had ever called me that. I had to admit that it felt good to be admired this way; not just through Nolan’s eyes, but through his hands, too. I wished that time could stretch out into forever, with him touching every inch of me as if he were exploring a forbidden treasure.
I felt his fingers moving across my hips, slowly making their way down. I lifted my leg and hooked it back over his, and he let out a small laugh.
“A little eager, aren’t you?” he asked, and I bit at the inside of my lip. “Well, I pride myself on indulgence, so I won’t make you wait.”
He pulled me back a little tighter, and I felt his hardness against my lower back as his fingers slipped between my lips. They began moving immediately, in a rhythm that reminded me just how well this man worked with his hands.
“Oh, you’re so wet,” he said, and I found myself responding with a gasp and a moan. “That’s good…”
He was quiet for a while, clearly focused on what he was doing. He still had my head in a firm grip, though with the way I was positioned, it was surprisingly comfortable. I found myself liking that he was in control, that he was playing with me this way; and I wanted more.
“If we had the time, I’d do this for hours,” Nolan continued, not letting up with the rhythm of his fingers. “Play with every part of you. Make you mine entirely.”
In response, he managed to get another moan out of me. I could feel my muscles tensing in anticipation of what would be coming soon. The sheer pleasure running through my body was overwhelming my mind, and all of my focus was on it.
“But I can’t do that right now,” Nolan sighed, his breath hot in my ears. “So… I’ll just have to give you a small taste.”
He changed his rhythm subtly, but it was a powerful shift. I could feel electric shocks moving through my legs, right into my toes. I threw my head back against him, one hand grabbing at the loose sand below us.
“Oh, god,” I breathed heavily, biting at the inside of my lip again. “I’m going to…”
