“Now stretch your legs out.”
“Like this?”
“That’s a good girl, Abby.”
His tone was low, husky. “Only problem is, you’re still dressed. I want you to take your bathing suit off.”
She drew a sharp breath and murmured low, “You’re a very naughty boy, Cody.”
“Yeah, I know.” The amusement in his tone tugged at her insides.
Abby laid the phone beside her and slowly peeled her bathing suit off. She could hear Cody’s low growl of longing when she brought the phone back to her ear.
“Is that better?” she asked.
“Not quite.”
“No?”
“Your legs aren’t spread.”
“Oh, right.” Abby widened her legs, taking note of the sticky wetness between her thighs. Goddamn, she was turned on. She heard a rustling sound that made her wonder what was going on. She tried to keep her voice level but failed. “Cody, what are you doing?”
“My cock is hard, Abby. I’m stroking it.”
Oh. My. God.
She brought her hand to her throat and swallowed, trying to keep some semblance of control.
“Do you like knowing I’m rubbing my cock while I watch you?”
“Oh, yeah,” was all she managed.
“Your breasts are beautiful. Will you touch them for me?” Abby crooked her neck, positioning the phone on her shoulder in order to free both hands. She brushed her thumbs over her nipples and arched into her touch.
“Mmm,” she moaned. “That feels so good.”
Cody’s breathing deepened. He gave a lusty groan, and she could hear him work his hand over his cock in double time.
“Very nice,” he murmured. “Now pinch your nipples. I want them red and swollen.”
Abby pinched herself hard and gave a little yelp. Flames licked over her. She was so turned on, she began shaking.
“You see that peach beside you?” His soft voice caressed her flesh, and she could feel color rising on her cheeks. “I want you to take a bite and drip the juice all over your nipples. Get them nice and slick for me, and then imagine me licking them clean.”
Her entire body heated from the inside out. She bit into the peach and then dripped the sweet nectar over one plump nipple. When she heard him suck in a deep breath, she widened her legs and drizzled the peach juice over her clit. The cool liquid stimulated her nerve endings.
The combination of sweet peach and arousal reached her nostrils. “Fuck…” Cody bit out.
“Do you like that, Cody?” she murmured, reveling in the sensations. Becoming dizzy with desire, she dropped the peach and stroked herself. Good God, she was desperate to ease the tension inside her.
“Put your fingers inside your pussy for me,” he said in a strangled voice. “I want you to climax with me. Then I’m going to come down there and lick up all your sweet peach cream.”
His sexy words brought on a shudder, such that her entire body trembled from head to toe. Never had she done anything so wild and wicked. No, she corrected herself, that wasn’t exactly true. Ever since she’d met Cody, she’d been doing lots of things that were wild and wicked. Things that she wanted to continue to do…
With need consuming her, she pushed two fingers inside her while her thumb worked her clit. Her hips rose from the chair and her sex muscles clenched. The action drew her fingers in deeper. She took deep, gulping breaths while her throat tightened with pleasure.
She heard him groan. “That’s a girl. Come with me.” His coaxing voice brought on her climax.
Her sex pulsed and spasmed with her release. She tossed her head to the side and cried out Cody’s name while she rode the waves of pleasure.
After a long moment when she gulped for air, Cody’s husky, labored voice brought her back to him. “Stay put, Abby. And keep your legs open.”
Less than two minutes later, she felt Cody’s presence in front of her. She opened her eyes to see him standing over her, dressed in bathing trunks and a blue T-shirt, looking like sex incarnate. The intense look on his face nearly stopped her heart.
His nostrils flared as he dropped to his knees. His eyes swept over her, taking in her spread legs. “You have the prettiest pussy I’ve ever seen,” he whispered in a tone that was alarmingly tender.
They exchanged a look before he buried his face between her thighs. The soft blade of his tongue found her clit. She felt his body tremble. “You taste delicious,” he murmured. His long, intimate strokes immediately brought on another orgasm. He inserted a finger and that was all she needed to shut down her brain. Fire whipped through her blood. Her hot juices flowed endlessly into his mouth.
“Mmm. I love how responsive you are.” His voice ended in a soft whisper.
She glanced down at him. The way his dark eyes smoldered when they met hers made her breath catch.
His fingers continued to idly stroke her clit. “You’re a wild woman, Abby Benton.” Mesmerized, she watched Cody stand, come up beside her and place the sweetest, softest kiss on her mouth, a kiss so tender and passionate it touched something deep inside her.
“I just think you bring that out in me,” she rasped, swallowing hard.
He grabbed her hand and tugged her out of the chair. “Let’s go inside and get something to drink.” Abby gathered her belongings and followed him into her cabana. He grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge while she dressed. He spotted her agenda and turned to her. “You really are a planner, aren’t you?” When she nodded, he asked, “So what’s your plan for the rest of the day?”
Abby glanced at the clock. “I have a hot-stone massage booked in ten minutes, then a late lunch with the girls.” She winked at him. “Even though you already told me it’s not your thing, would you like to join me for a couple’s massage down by the ocean?”
Couple’s….
The gravity of that one word hit her hard.
“I guess. Then maybe we can take a swim.”
She saw the mischief in his eyes and wondered what he was up to.
Less than ten minutes later they found themselves sprawled out on a massage table, merely a foot separating them, with only their bathing suits on. When the seductive scent of vanilla oil reached Abby’s nostrils and the first warm rock touched her back, she moaned in delight.
“Mmm, that feels so good,” she murmured, licking her dry lips.
She turned her head and watched Cody’s eyes widen. He pitched his voice low and whispered, “You’d better stop making sexy noises, Abby, or I won’t be able to control myself.”
If that wasn’t an invitation to tease him, she didn’t know what was. She shifted restlessly and continued to moan, deciding it was time for her to have the upper hand for a change. She lowered her voice to match his. “Oh, my, that heat goes right through me. It makes me feel all hot, tingly, and…wet.”
Cody growled. “Abby, you do know you’re going to pay for that, right?”
His seductive tenor played havoc with her hormones. She flashed her lashes at him as shivers of pleasure raced down her spine. For the next thirty minutes she moaned, purred and mewled, until the fire in Cody’s eyes became explosive.
Just as the massage came to an end, she murmured, “Mmm, I do believe that feels better than sex.”
“We’ll see about that.”
Cody threw the sheets off, grabbed her by the arm and hauled her away from the massage table and into the water with him.
She gasped. “Cody, what are you doing?”
“Proving to you that a massage does not feel better than sex. Now, follow me.” Anxious to see what he had in mind, Abby swam out to the rocks with him. They were tucked out of sight, away from the beach, but easily viewable from the hilltop. As they climbed from the water, she glanced around, realizing they were in the exact same location as the couple they had spied on yesterday. She grinned, understanding his earlier mischievous look, and what he was up to now. Cody obviously had this planned all along. Out of nowhere a burst of warmt
h brought on a shiver. It touched her deeply that he brought her here on purpose so he could play out her secret desires, her darkest fetishes.
Cody grabbed her, hauled her to him and locked his arms around her waist. He planted a hard, ravenous kiss on her mouth then inched back to catch her eyes. He cocked his head. “Is that better than a massage?”
As the air crackled with sexual energy, she tried for casual. “Not even close,” she managed through the haze of lust.
Cody’s eyes darkened. He unhooked her bathing suit top and turned his attention to her breasts. The soft blade of his tongue flicked over her nipple, hardening it, and it was all she could do to stifle a heated moan. When his thumb scraped over her aching bud, she briefly closed her eyes against the erotic sensations.
“Is that better than a massage?”
She drew a deep breath and looked past his shoulder, going for bored. “It’s debatable…,”she said, humoring him.
Growling, Cody dropped to his knees and dragged her down with him. Hastily, he pulled her bikini bottoms from her hips and widened her legs. He nuzzled her pussy, inhaled her aroused scent, and then gifted her with one long luxurious stroke of his tongue. As his mouth moved over her clit, she nearly erupted.
Oh, Lord…
He cast her a knowing glance. “How about that, Abby? Does that feel better than a massage?”
Her heart pounded erratically. She made a sexy noise and shifted. “I’m not sure. The jury is still out.”
With that Cody tore his clothes off and grabbed a condom from his bathing suit. She bit her lip and watched him, taking pleasure in the sight of his gorgeous, naked body. Without drawing out the foreplay, he quickly rolled the condom on, spread her legs wider, and in one swift movement drove his cock all the way up inside her. She gasped as his fullness stretched her wide open. Moisture pebbled his flesh as he furiously pumped in and out of her. When she shut her eyes in surrender, he said, “Look around. I bet someone is on that hilltop watching me fuck you.”
Jesus…
Her pulse kicked up a notch and her pussy muscles clenched with the approach of an orgasm. Just knowing others might be watching filled her with raw lust. Frantic, she clawed at his back and grabbed his ass, driving his cock deeper into her heat. Moments before her orgasm hit, Cody stopped pumping and gave her a devilish grin. One sexy brow rose in amused awareness. “Now tell me,” he said, having brought her to the edge only to keep her there, hovering like a damn hummingbird, payback for all her teasing, she assumed. “Does this feel better than a massage?” His voice was rough with emotion, and she sensed it took all his effort to maintain his control while he played with her.
Frazzled, she muffled sexually frustrated curses under her breath. Cody laughed in response, which reminded her how much she loved the easy intimacy between them.
In desperate need of an orgasm, she drew a shaky breath and conceded defeat. “Yes, yes, of course this feels better than any massage,” she burst out. “Now, make me come, goddammit!”
Chuckling, Cody unleashed himself on her, pumping and pushing deep, giving her exactly what she needed as she lost herself in him, body and soul.
Seconds later she tumbled into an orgasm. Her hands tightened around his back. She held him to her, never wanting to let him go. Cody threw his head back and groaned. She felt his cock throb deep inside her and knew he was joining her in release. Everything about their coupling felt so right, so perfect, that a myriad of emotions rushed to her heart. She found his mouth and kissed him with all the passion inside her.
After a long moment, Cody rolled to his side and gathered her into his arms. It felt so nice to be held by him. When her breathing finally regulated, she traced her finger over his mouth and shot him a questioning glance. “Hmm, what makes me think you had this seduction orchestrated all along?” she teased.
He feigned innocence, softening the angles in his face. “I have no idea why you would think that.”
Abby laughed and snuggled in tighter. As the warmth of the sun beat down on them, scorching their bodies, she let her eyes drift shut and listened to his heartbeat settle into a steady rhythm.
Cody tangled his fingers through her hair. His voice dropped to a whisper. “We’d better get out of the sun before we burn to a crisp.” Taking her by surprise, he whacked her ass.
“Umm, did you mean for that to turn me on, Cody? Because it did.”
He laughed. “You’re insatiable.”
Cody sat up and retrieved their clothes. As they dressed Abby looked out over the aquamarine water, listening to the gentle, soothing sound of the waves lapping against the rocks. “God, it’s just so beautiful here.”
Cody gestured with a nod. “It looks like there is a scuba-diving excursion taking place.” Abby shaded the sun from her eyes. “Where?”
Leaning in close, Cody pointed. “Way out there.”
Surprised, Abby said. “How did you spot that? I can barely see the boat.”
“From years of training, I guess.”
“It sounds like fun. Maybe I’ll try.”
“Just be careful you don’t drown. I won’t be there to rescue you this time.”
She laughed. “You won’t come?”
Cody shook his head. “Malik is always trying to get me to go, but I don’t want to.”
“Don’t you like snorkeling, or scuba diving?”
He shrugged. “I guess I do. Or I used to anyway.”
“So why don’t you go? You have a great eye for spotting things. Hey, you even rescued me when I was drowning.” She winked at him.
He rolled his eyes and brushed his thumb over her mouth. “I don’t go because I think Malik is up to something.”
Abby made a face and shook her head in agreement. “He is a wily old man, isn’t he?”
“Wily? That’s not the first word that comes to my mind.”
Abby tilted her face, drinking in the tropical sun, thinking about how quickly her vacation was flying by. She also considered how much she loved the “O Spa”. It was definitely an oasis of pleasure, she mused. Lots and lots of pleasure. The thought of going back to a snowy Chicago and life as she knew it made her shiver, and not in a good way.
“So what will you do when you leave here, Cody? Will you go back to the military?”
“No,” he answered quickly.
Abby took a moment to think about Cody’s unique skills, and the way Mr. Malik pressed him to partake in the water activities. She then thought about Mr. Malik’s own cryptic words to her. The truth was, if she hadn’t ventured off her beaten path, she never would have discovered Cody.
“So, why do you think Mr. Malik is trying to get you to go on the excursions?” she asked.
“My guess is that he’s trying to guide me. Help me figure out my future.”
“Search and rescue?”
He nodded. “Smart girl.”
“I think you’d be great at that, Cody. You already watch over everyone like you’re a guardian angel.”
“I thought we established that I’m really the devil in disguise.”
She chuckled. “Yes, we did, didn’t we? But I think you’re both.” When her stomach grumbled she suddenly remembered her late lunch with the girls. “Oh, shoot. I have to run,” she said, rubbing her belly.
“What’s up?”
“I have lunch plans with the girls.”
His eyes darkened when they locked on hers. “Break them.”
God, when he looked at her like that her skin came alive. “I can’t.”
He brushed his lips over hers. His heat wrapped around her, his devilish smile turned her insides to molten lava. “Are you sure you want to go? Don’t you know great things can happen when you break your plans?” he whispered, enticing her salacious libido with his body.
As tempting as that was, she’d promised her friends she’d be there. “I really can’t, Cody.”
He took a long moment to study her. “Do you ever break your plans, Abby?”
After a moment
of hesitation, she shook her head and said, “No.”
He gave a resigned sigh. “So what’s on your agenda later, then?”
She cocked her head. “You’re on my agenda later.” That brought a smile to his face.
“Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“When and where?” he asked.
“Oh, I’m pretty sure you’ll have no trouble finding me,” she teased. “You always know where to look.”

With Abby off at lunch with her friends, Cody grabbed a quick bite to eat and then walked restlessly around the resort, his thoughts preoccupied with the feelings Abby roused in him. Grinning madly, like an escaped mental patient, he thought about how quickly they went from strangers to lovers and his heart swelled. He eventually made his way into the pool hall looking for a distraction. He found one.
“Hey,” Cody said, pleased to see Ryan bent over the pool table, especially since it was still daylight and Ryan wasn’t known to venture out during the day. “Rack ‘em up.”
“Hey, Cody. What’s up?” Ryan asked.
Cody shrugged. “Just wasting time until I can get off this godforsaken place. “You?”
Ryan mimicked his shrug. “Same here. Haven’t seen you in a while.”
“I’ve seen you,” Cody said. “With Lauren.”
That brought a goofy smile to Ryan’s face. Cody took that moment to pry for information. “So, tell me, do you know anything about her friend Abby?” he prodded.
Christ, just saying her name out loud had his heart racing. She was so damn sweet, open, honest and eager to experiment sexually. Her zest for life, her enthusiasm, and how she saw beauty in everything around her had awakened his senses, and for the first time in a long time, he felt alive. Rejuvenated. Free. The truth was, Abby had eased herself past his wall of defense and right into his heart. From her responses to his intimate touch, to the way she encouraged him to open himself up to her, every instinct in his body told him that she felt the same way. That he wasn’t merely a passing interest to her.
Ryan grabbed the triangle and centered it. “Lauren mentioned that when they leave here, Abby expects to get engaged to her boyfriend. Apparently, Lauren and Danielle are hoping that after some time away from her soon-to-be-fiancé, and after drinking the magic elixir—which you and I both know is bogus—Abby will see that getting engaged to this guy isn’t what she really wants. She’s not known to divert from her plans, but both girls think she’ll see things differently after her time here.”
