  He brushed her hair aside and grasped both sides of her face. “Look at me.”

  She blinked her eyes, bringing him into focus.

  “Do you know how beautiful you are? How much I want you?”

  “As much as I want you,” she whispered, staring into his eyes. It was exactly what he wanted to hear.

  “Good!” Jaxon took her mouth just as the lower half of his body spread her legs wide. He settled himself between her thighs and surged forward toward the soft curls of her feminine entrance.

  He watched her pupils dilate as her body began to accommodate him. She was wet, but tight. He was surprised just how tight she was, but it felt good. He thrust his hips and sank deeper inside her. She felt so good around him! He eased in and out of her with a slow and steady pace as she lay pinned beneath him. He lifted her off the bed and he squeezed her tight butt, bringing her into closer contact with his bulging erection.

  “Jaxon...” She wrapped her legs around his hips, drawing him deeper inside her body.

  “Yes, love?”

  “Harder,” she said, looking at him as he thrust inside her. “Faster...please.”

  He answered her request by increasing the tempo, giving her exactly what they both wanted. She moaned aloud each time he drove into her.

  Had Kimberly put some spell on him? He was lost in the sensation of being inside her as he rode them into oblivion. He knew today was just a promise of what was to come and an animal growl of pleasure escaped his lips. He was swamped in a need to devour her whole. He pumped faster, wilder, and then withdrew before filling her again. A guttural groan escaped his lips when her climax made her inner muscles clench around him, triggering his own release.

  He collapsed on top of her and felt their sweat mingled together, but Kimberly didn’t seem to mind. Quickly he rolled to his side, pulling her next to him. He didn’t want to lose the connection they’d just shared. Before he fell asleep in her arms, he had one last thought. How was it that no other woman had ever made him feel this way?

  Chapter 9

  Kimberly awoke with a start, but not before she felt a hairy leg covering her thigh. She glanced to her side and saw Jaxon’s sleeping face on her pillow. Remembrance came flooding back to her of her wanton behavior that afternoon. She’d never been into casual hookups, let alone with a guest of the hotel. She’d broken every one of her cardinal rules by sleeping with Jaxon, especially when he’d made it pretty clear that he wasn’t interested in commitment, but she’d been unable to resist his charms. He was all broad shoulders and breathtaking beauty. His muscles even gleamed in the sunlight streaming through the drapes of her condo.

  This afternoon when she’d run into Jaxon, she’d been in a bad temper, but talking to him had allayed some of her fears. Jaxon seemed to understand her like no one else did, not even Robyn or Gabrielle and certainly not Ben Lawson. Jaxon must have felt the same way because he’d finally opened up to her and shared some of himself with her.

  And making love with Jaxon—well, that had just rocked her world. She hadn’t been prepared for the intensity of her attraction to him or how he would make her respond. She was surprised no one had heard them, given that he’d made her scream out his name as she came.

  He was just so darn sexy, it was hard not to give in to every carnal desire that had lived in her fantasies. Something told her that Jaxon wouldn’t mind fulfilling every single one of them.

  * * *

  Jaxon rolled over and caught Kimberly staring at him. Her usually sleek black hair was tousled, her lips were plump and swollen from his demanding kisses, and if he wasn’t mistaken he could see a love mark forming on her neck. She’d tasted so good, he hadn’t been able to control himself. He’d wanted to taste every inch of her body and he had. They’d just had the most mind-blowing sex he’d ever had. After he’d been thinking and dreaming about her for days, she had lived up to his expectations, so much so that he’d promptly fallen asleep after their lovemaking.

  “Hey,” he said, reaching out to stroke her hair.

  “Hi yourself.”

  “That was, uh...” He struggled for the words.

  “Amazing?”

  “Mmm...”

  “Incredible?”

  He nodded his agreement.

  “Exciting? Thrilling?”

  “Oh, yes...”

  “Ready for another round?” she asked, pushing him onto his back and swinging her leg over his waist so she could straddle him.

  “What do you think?” He lifted his upper body and kissed her mouth, her face and her throat. He loved the sensation of having her breasts against his naked chest. He wanted more and Kimberly gave it to him.

  Instead of taking him inside her as he’d anticipated, she slid down on the bed. Then she reached for his throbbing manhood and wrapped her fingers around him and slowly began sliding her hands up and down his engorged flesh. Jaxon could barely withstand the slow, steady motion as she explored every inch of him from his blossoming shaft to the tip of his penis. He couldn’t wait for her mouth to be on him.

  “You don’t play fair,” he groaned when she began to quicken her pace with rapid strokes.

  “Fair’s no fun,” she murmured, glancing up at him before taking his penis fully inside her mouth.

  Jaxon leaned back against the bed and let Kimberly stroke, tease and lick him with her tongue until he began to groan. He didn’t want to come, not until he was inside her, but Kimberly was tempting him to climax.

  “Baby,” he moaned.

  “Yes?”

  “Baby, stop, I want to be inside you. I need to be.”

  She looked up at him, a wicked grin lighting her face that told him the pleasure was only getting started.

  * * *

  Kimberly loved the feel of Jaxon as she’d manually and orally stimulated him. He’d felt hot and throbbing and she’d looked forward to giving him as much pleasure as he’d given her. And now she was about to get some of her own. She reached for the packet of condoms lying near the edge of the bed and slid one onto Jaxon. Then, before he had time to think or move, she sat atop him and took him deep inside her.

  A burst of pleasure surged through her at having him fill her so completely. Jaxon pulled her head down so he could deepen their kiss as they moved together, kissing, stroking, touching each other as one unit. He held her gaze as she undulated against him, moving faster and faster against him. He held her hips as her pelvis slammed against him and she rode him like a horse.

  Kimberly could feel herself being swept away, could feel her orgasm coming on, but she didn’t want this moment to end. Her need for him consumed her. Having Jaxon inside her felt so good, so right. But the pressure inside her was building and she could no longer stave off the eruption. She exploded with a cry and he bucked underneath her as he groaned aloud.

  Spent, she collapsed against him and her hair fanned out over his chest. Had his world fragmented as hers had?

  Eventually, after making love one more time, they made it out of bed. Kimberly wrapped her silk robe around her and went into the kitchen in search of sustenance. Jaxon, however, sauntered in buck naked without a care in the world. Kimberly glanced at the clock on the stove and was horrified when she realized it was nearly dinnertime.

  Where had the time gone? She’d been so wrapped up in Jaxon that she hadn’t made it back to the office. She felt guilty considering all the resort had going on right now. She should be looking into the bad reviews instead of making love with Jaxon all afternoon, but it had felt so good to be bad.

  She glanced in her refrigerator. There wasn’t much in the way of edible contents except some 2 percent milk, a four-pack of yogurt, a platter of cheese and fruit from an event earlier that week, and several bottles of water. She was turning around when she slammed right into Jaxon’s naked, solid body. He
began nuzzling her neck, which almost made her forget her reason for coming into the kitchen.

  “I’m sorry there isn’t much food.” She pulled out the platter and slid out of his grasp to place it on the counter. If she didn’t, he’d be backing her against the counter and taking her right there in the kitchen. That isn’t a bad idea, her inner voice said. But she was also rather hungry.

  She pulled the plastic wrap off the platter, grabbed a couple of grapes and threw them into her mouth.

  Jaxon joined her and ate several cubes of the Monterey Jack cheese. “What do you say we order some real food? We can eat in.”

  “You mean to tell me you don’t like my selection?” Kimberly asked with a smile.

  “Babe, I need real food that sticks to your bones. I don’t think we’ll survive the night on this.” He eyed the sparse platter.

  “The night?” Kimberly raised an eyebrow. “Who said you could stay the night?”

  Jaxon stopped his nibbling and headed straight toward her. He drew her to him until her breasts were flattened against his chest and then he backed her up against the sink. She could feel his manhood pressing against her thighs because her Victoria’s Secret robe reached only her midthigh.

  Without a word, he pulled at the tie on her robe until it fell open, leaving her naked to his admiring gaze. He reached behind her, grasped her behind and pulled her to his throbbing erection. Warmth began to spread to her thighs and he hadn’t even entered her.

  “You want me to leave?” he asked, pressing into her. She could feel the tip of his manhood hovering at her opening and she was becoming wet. How was it possible after they’d already made love too many times to count this afternoon?

  She shook her head, unable to speak. She couldn’t think when he was standing this close to her. All she could think of was having him inside her. She needed him inside her.

  “Then ask me to stay,” he ordered as he lifted her off her feet.

  She had no choice but to wrap her legs around him and answer, “Jaxon, please stay. I want you to stay.”

  A triumphant smile spread across his full lips. She knew he wanted to take her right then and there, but they needed protection. “Condom?” she asked.

  “I’ll be right back.” He lowered her to her feet and headed in the direction of her bedroom.

  She would have thought he would have carried her back to their afternoon love nest, but instead he returned a few moments later with a condom already on. There was a hungry look in his gaze as he rushed for her, picking up where they’d left off.

  “I’m going to take you right here and make you come until I’m done with you.” He lifted her off her feet again and she complied by wrapping her legs around him seconds before his hard arousal thrust inside her. He sat her on the counter and began hammering into her.

  “Oh, my!” Kimberly let out a loud sigh as Jaxon pumped inside her with delicious strokes. In and out and in and out again.

  * * *

  Jaxon was crazy with lust for Kimberly and he smothered her mouth with a ravenous kiss. He suckled on her bottom lip until she opened her mouth for him. He dived inside and tasted her fully. He hadn’t intended on making love to her on the kitchen counter. But when she’d jokingly said he might not be welcome for the night, he’d wanted to show her the intensity of their attraction for each other. There was no way he was leaving. He didn’t know what it would take before he was sated, but Kimberly was like a drug and he couldn’t get enough.

  Her inner muscles clenched around him, tightening around his erection, milking him. He wasn’t going to last. When he felt her begin to tremble, he came undone. He climaxed inside her, crashing into her with an explosion of pure unadulterated pleasure.

  “Kimberly!” He groaned as he slammed into her one final time. He clutched her to him, sucking on one of her breasts as he did.

  When the quaking in their bodies began to subside, he lowered her back to the floor.

  She glanced up at him with glazed eyes. She had to feel as he did that the passion between them was off the charts.

  “Are you okay?” He brushed aside the damp hair that had fallen in her face. “I’m sorry if I was rough with you.”

  “You weren’t,” she said, tucking it behind her ear. “A bit unexpected, but not rough.”

  A light sheen of sweat glistened on her breasts and he reached over to pinch one of her nipples. “Now I’m really starved.”

  “You and me both. Let’s order.” She closed her robe as she walked over to a drawer by the stove and pulled out the Belleza menu. “What are you in the mood for?” she asked, glancing in his direction.

  “Food and you. In that order.”

  “Has anyone ever told you you’re insatiable?”

  “A time or two.”

  She rattled off several selections and after they’d placed their order, they returned to nibbling on the fruit-and-cheese platter until the food arrived.

  “I’m curious,” Kimberly said, leaning against the counter. “Where does your family think you are?”

  Talking about his family was like a splash of cold water on his arousal. “I don’t know. Maybe in the Caribbean somewhere. They know I like the islands. Why do you ask?”

  Kimberly shrugged as she reached for a sliced apple and popped it into her mouth. “It’s just that you’re right under their noses, barely a two-hour drive, and they have no idea.”

  “And that’s the way I’d like to keep it.”

  She must have recognized his serious tone because she quickly responded, “Of course. I would never betray my guests’ privacy.”

  “After today, am I still just a guest?” Jaxon asked, staring at her.

  “Of—of course not,” she stammered. “That came out wrong. I would never betray your confidence. It means a lot that you shared your story with me.”

  Relieved, he let out a breath, not just because she’d agreed to keep his secret, but because to him, she was more than just the manager of the hotel he was staying at. She was his lover. “That’s because I don’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not. I can just be real with you, Kimberly. You don’t judge me or have expectations like my family. You like me just as I am.”

  She grinned up at him and he noticed that she had a small dimple in her right cheek. “I don’t just like you, I think you’re wonderful,” she said.

  Her honesty was refreshing and Jaxon knew that he would be staying at the Belleza a lot longer than he’d anticipated. Not only was Kimberly Parker a breath of fresh air, but he hadn’t responded in bed to a woman the way he had with her in...well, never. Until he could get her out of his system, he wasn’t going anywhere.

  Chapter 10

  Kimberly skipped her normal workout as Jaxon had helped her burn off more than enough calories during their marathon lovemaking session, which had gone well into the morning. Kimberly had gotten only a few hours of sleep before she’d finally gotten up and showered to prepare for the day. Jaxon was still in bed and she’d told him to stay. He was on vacation, but she was not. After playing hooky yesterday, she needed to be the first one in.

  When she’d checked her phone this morning, there had been several texts from the office, Robyn and her parents, but none from Gabby. She knew Gabrielle felt as though she was the scapegoat, but that was far from the case. Yes, Gabrielle was one of her oldest, dearest friends, but Kimberly had to be impartial when they were at the office. And when the evidence pointed to the restaurant, as general manager, Kimberly had to look into it. She just hoped Gabrielle would understand the position she was in. She had to be fair to everyone and not appear as if she was playing favorites, though she knew some of her staff thought that way.

  She was able to get through her nearly one hundred email messages, her voice mails and complete a property walk-through before she received a call from Ja
xon. “Hey, beautiful.”

  “Hey, handsome.” Hearing his voice made her heart beat wildly.

  “How’s your day going?”

  “Better,” Kimberly said and she meant it. She hadn’t solved their sabotage problem nor had she forgotten her brother’s lack of interest in repairing their relationship, but hearing Jaxon’s voice did wonders for her disposition.

  “Good. How about dinner tonight?” he asked. “I know a great spot.”

  “I would love to.” She could use a night off property and away from curious eyes. She hadn’t told the girls about her night with Jaxon or his true identity. She felt guilty about not being forthright with her friends. They usually shared their sexy stories over their morning workout and breakfast, but today Kimberly had wanted to keep it to herself for a little while longer. Besides, how could she share her feelings when she didn’t understand them herself? Jaxon was making her feel things she’d never felt for another man. He was awakening a side to her that she fully wanted to explore without questioning eyes.

  “I’ll be at your condo at seven.”

  Promptly at 3:00 p.m., the department heads began filing into the conference room. Kimberly smiled at Robyn when she entered wearing a fuchsia silk blouse and black pencil skirt and low-heeled sandals. It was just like her to wear bold, bright colors. Gabrielle, however, did not look in Kimberly’s direction nor did she look like herself. Her wild carefree curls were in a simple fishtail updo and she was formal in her chef’s coat rather than her usual ensemble of jeans and a T-shirt. Kimberly would have to talk to her later and clear the air. She didn’t like this hostility between them.

  During the meeting, she caught up on the usual items before turning her focus to Gabrielle. “Any information on your investigation of complaints at The Pearl?”
