Sensing her nervousness, he cupped her head in between his hands, his fingers caressing her until some of her worry melted away. Her limbs loosened. “Well, I like expectations to be realistic.”
“When we made love in the water, in Rio, you were naked. That was one of the most unforgettable nights for me. We connected. And this morning, even if you’re wearing this boring suit, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I don’t care what you wear, Crystal. As long as I get to see what’s underneath,” he said, kissing her cheek.
“Well, you’re very convincing.”
“Good. Come here…”
He nudged her thighs open, and with one swift thrust, plunged into her. She moaned, loving to welcome him inside her again. He caressed her cheek, and when his thumb slid down her mouth, she licked it until he inserted it inside her mouth. She nibbled it, sucking it, enjoying the look of pure lust in his eyes.
He intensified his claim of her, his enormous cock ramming her all the way to the hilt. “Crystal… let’s get there together.” He withdrew his thumb from her mouth and slid it to her clit, teasing it, flicking it until her field of vision became blurry.
She rocked her hips into him, her moans filling the air. He groaned, tugging at her clit as his cock did a crazy quick and deep rhythm until she could no longer take it. She cried out his name, as he screwed her, raw and honest. The only way she liked it.
Epilogue
Three weeks later…
Lucas held her hand in his. “Are you ready?” he asked, tilting his head in the direction of the sign in front of the ballroom.
“Yes,” Crystal said without delay. She didn’t have to worry about faking their relationship during the high school reunion party. In fact, she’d almost changed her mind about going. She didn’t need to show her former classmates or the mean girls who always landed the football jocks that she’d done well. She knew it.
He gave her hand a light squeeze, and guided her through the entrance. The woman working the check-in table asked her name.
“Crystal Fox,” she said, lifting her chin.
“Crystal?” the brunette asked, squinting her eyes. Then, she frowned. “Crystal! Hi. I’m Paula. We took Biology together,” she said, pointing at her name tag. “You look great.”
“Thanks.” Crystal flashed her a smile. A part of her was still getting used to compliments. She’d bought a red dress that hugged her body, and Lucas had given her a beam of approval the minute she’d walked out of the suite. Their suite. Somehow he’d convinced her to move in with him, and she hadn’t regretted her decision.
She also hadn’t regretted when he’d promoted her to Vice President, and put her in charge of taking over the Brazilian resort they visited together.
Then, Paula slid her gaze to Lucas, and her eyes widened a bit in pure female appreciation. Crystal didn’t mind—she knew her hot Brazilian boyfriend commanded any room he walked into with a mainly charisma that was natural to him.
“Nice to meet you,” he said.
Paula nodded. “Pleasure is all mine,” then she mouthed, “Well done, Crystal.”
A strand of pride moved through Crystal’s body. They strolled into the party, and he kept her close, caressing her shoulder with his large hand, the silent claim she belonged to him. As they made their way into the crowd, she noticed several women whispering to each other, probably trying to remember her name or commenting on Lucas’s striking appearance.
He kissed the top of her head. “Should we make the rounds?”
“No. I want you all to myself,” she said, pulling him to her as some pop song from the 2000’s blasted from the DJ booth.
He encircled her with his arms, and dipped his head to lower his mouth to her ear. “Wish granted, meu amor.”
She kissed him, molding her body to him, not caring about anyone else in the room. She had come to the reunion for a silly sense of closure, yet she knew in her heart the man he was, the kind, generous, smart man she’d come to love was hers alone. She didn’t need to prove he loved her, just as she was, to anyone. And that was the best gift ever.

Chapter One
“You’ve been a very, very bad girl, Kate,” Graham said in a low growl, and the little hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. He turned her around and pulled up her black skirt, exposing her shivering flesh. “And this is what a bad girl gets.”
He bent her over the table, the cold glass pressing against her bare breasts. Gasping, she plastered her hands on the smooth surface as he pulled down her panties. She wished she had kinkier lingerie on, instead of the boring tan-colored undies even her Tea Party grandmother would approve of.
When he palmed her ass, his hand circled it lusciously, leaving her skin warm and tender. “I’m going to fuck you hard, but first you need to pay for being a naughty girl with a crush on her father’s best friend.”
She chewed on her lower lip. How could she argue? He swatted her butt, and she heard the sharp slap before her skin tingled and throbbed for more . . . much more. “Sorry. I–I couldn’t help it,” she said, her breath fogging the glass.
He squeezed her ass again and Kate moaned, the sound so loud she’d bet the neighborhood could hear. God, what was she thinking? And why did it feel so damn good?
“You like it dirty. And now it’s time to pay for it,” he said.
Yes. Yes. Yes. She’d dreamed of this for years, and now, at the age of twenty, her fantasy would finally come true. Her nipples tightened. She ached to be touched where no other man had ever touched her before. She had saved herself for this moment. For him. Graham Davenport.
“Spread your legs for me, Kate.”
God. Her clit vibrated at the idea. He nudged her thighs apart with his hand, his fingers scissoring her soaking wet folds. She moved her head from one side to another, unable to stay still at the delicious sensations his touch evoked in her.
He groaned. “Oh, Kate . . .”
Four years. She’d wanted him for four years, and finally, they were about to—
“Kate? Kate Crawford?” said a higher-pitched male voice, much different than the one previously ringing in her ear.
Kate’s eyes opened with a start, and she almost jumped from her airplane seat. The flight attendant flashed her a friendly smile. “We’ve arrived in Maui.”
Still startled, she glanced around at the blankets and pillows left on the empty seats and littering the floor.
“Thanks,” she whispered, and grabbed her large tote in the overhead compartment. The pilot greeted her when she exited the airplane, and someone put a colorful lei around her neck.
She picked up her luggage, then headed to the area where hotel shuttles and vans picked up passengers. A burly man in his fifties carried a sign with her name on it.
“I’m Kate Crawford,” she said, stretching out her hand. A woman with a plan, she added inwardly. The images of the dream popped in her head, and she bit back a smile.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Louie.” He reached for her luggage even before she could refuse any help. “Mr. Davenport told me to pick you up.”
He did, didn’t he? She knew the man who occupied her mind for the past few years, Graham Davenport, the world’s sexiest man who happened to be her father’s close friend, would not pick her up from the airport himself. She’d known him for a decade, and had started to feel tingly around him when she’d been fifteen.
Back then she’d blamed it on her teenage hormones, or maybe her strict upbringing had messed with her brain. She’d tried to squash that infatuation anyway she could: she turned to the church, she dated guys her age, and she studied a lot. She even ran track for the school team.
But now Kate could no longer lie to herself. She’d start a one-year course in one of the best hotel schools in Switzerland in the Fall. This summer meant her last opportunity to try to co
nvince Graham she hadn’t saved herself for him for no reason—and she’d stop at nothing. I’m a freshman when it comes to actual sex, but a PhD when it comes to fantasizing. The time to turn her fantasies into reality had come.
She followed the driver out of the airport, and he took her to a stretch limo and not the hotel shuttle guests would hop on upon arrival at the island. Why the differential treatment?
I know why. He opened the door for her, and she slid into the limo. This was Graham’s way of showing she was no regular tourist. She was his friend’s daughter and he’d always kept that in mind and treated her as such. However, the tables would soon turn. When she’d begged her father to ask Graham to accept her as an intern in his exclusive new resort for the summer, she knew he wouldn’t say no. Graham and her dad went way back—even though her father had a few years on Graham and was certainly more of a homebody than the sexy man who haunted her dreams.
“Is this your first time in Maui?” the driver asked before he turned on the engine.
Images of naughty dreams where Graham screwed her fast and hard against a wall or in the sea, populated in her mind. He’d talk dirty to her, kiss her, and claim her as his. Did he know he wanted to do all these things? Maybe not, but she wouldn’t mind showing it to him.
“Yes.” She’d take care of other first times while visiting.
***
“Graham, are you okay?” Sheri asked, neatly holding her iPad on her lap. They had gone through some sales reports, but he couldn’t have remembered any of the data if someone had held a gun to his head.
Graham blinked. “Yes. Of course,” he said, smoothing his tie.
“Did you go to any meetings today? I didn’t see anything on your schedule. Is this about the Preston function next week?” she asked, mentioning the fundraiser that would get him one step closer to nailing a million-dollar account he’d coveted for a long time.
“No,” he said honestly. Though he definitely should be thinking of the Preston ball and finding a proper date for it. Someone who could blend in the background and didn’t seem annoyed but also not fascinated at the thousand-dollar-per-plate event.
“Then why on Earth are you wearing a tie?” Sheri pointed at his striped gray suit and dark silky tie. “You only dress like this when you’re entertaining out-of-town business folks or meeting with big clients.”
Graham swallowed hard. He’d barely admitted to himself the way Kate Crawford stirred him, there was no way in hell he’d admit it to his assistant of five years. Though as a forty-six-year-old single mom to four kids, Sheri always knew which buttons to push to get information, so he’d better shut her down fast. “I thought I’d switch things up a bit.”
“Are you trying to impress some woman? Because with your looks and checking account, you’ve pretty much got that covered,” she said, chuckling. “But hey, the suit is a nice touch.”
He curled his fingers into a ball with white-knuckled intensity. Impressing Kate had never crossed his mind—in fact, if anything, he preferred to keep her away. Images of the bonfire gathering in Malibu flashed through his mind. Jacob had invited him for Kate’s seventeenth birthday celebration and he’d ended up going. Until then, Kate had been his friend’s daughter: someone he chatted with about music and TV shows and teased once in a while—all in good fun, of course.
She’d found him alone, staring at the Pacific Ocean, and struck up a conversation. Kate had shot some lingering glances and seductive smiles his way, but he’d ignored them. Then, she’d leaned closer to kiss him—his cue to excuse himself and leave the party immediately.
He’d made a point to only meet Jacob for activities that excluded Kate—during lunch or couples’ only dinner parties. What’d scared him most about the bonfire night wasn’t that she’d tried to kiss him—but, for one moment, he’d wanted to kiss her.
“Well?” Sheri pulled him out of his reverie.
“I need some coffee,” he said gruffly.
She tossed her curly hair to the side and surged to her feet. “Grumpy. Hmmm. I’ll find out whatever it is you’re hiding from me.”
I doubt it. What would she, or anyone, think of him lusting over someone two decades his junior? “Black coffee. No sugar. No cream.”
She flashed him a knowing smile. “I’ll be right back.”
When she closed the door behind her, Graham sighed. He ran his hand down his face, remembering the awkward conversation he’d had with Jacob Crawford. His best friend had asked him to show Kate a day-to-day routine at the resort—as she would be attending a hotel school against his wishes all the way in Europe. But Jacob believed his daughter needed to have real hands-on experience, too, and who better to ask than Graham?
Graham sighed. Jacob had never asked for a thing, and he had been the one who’d loaned Graham money when he’d wanted to open his first property in California—he’d had the concept and the sweat equity but being the guy from the wrong side of the tracks, he hadn’t had the money to make it happen. His entrepreneur friend had helped him, and even though he’d paid him back well over a decade ago, that had been monetarily—he still owed him his loyalty. Damn it. Jacob had believed in his talent. And now, he should wave an olive branch to the girl who tempted him beyond belief. The only one he couldn’t have.
His phone pinged.
Did Katie arrive safely? Haven’t heard from her and she was supposed to arrive two hours ago.
Crap. Graham had sent the driver he used for VIP guests. Sure, he could have picked her up himself, but imposing limits from the beginning was better and keeping a safe distance, critical.
He glanced at the text message from Jacob. Shit. Checking on her was the least he could do. He slid his phone into his pocket and rose to his feet. Sheri entered his office again, carrying a hot cup of coffee when he lifted his hand and said, “Sorry. Gotta go.”
She said something he didn’t hear, nor wanted to. Sheri had a dangerous intuition when it came to his life, and he’d hate for her to discover the dirty secret he’d kept locked for years.
He swallowed hard.
He marched through the lobby, a couple of employees nodded or smiled at him. He strolled into the check-in area and logged into one of the computers to look for her room number.
“Looking for someone?” a female voice said, and he raised his gaze.
Kate stood on the other side of the desk. Her blue eyes gleamed, and he blinked so he wouldn’t focus on them. Staring at her was more dangerous than staring directly at the sun. His gaze slid down her long, soft neck, a pulse visibly throbbing at the base of her throat. The red cami dress hugged her body like a glove. Her breasts appeared fuller, much bigger than before.
Graham stepped back as if someone had threatened to fight him and he pondered if it’d be worth it or not. He’d never been in a fight he hadn’t won—and to continue his track record, he’d kept away from Kate Crawford because battling an emotion was harder than anything.
She flashed him a smile—tentative at first, then her bow-shaped lips exposed her sparkling white teeth. The last time he’d seen her she’d had her hair down her back, and now the ends curled at her shoulders, with sophisticated layers framing her beautiful face. Kate Crawford was all sultry woman, ripe for the taking. “I already checked in. I came downstairs to ask where I could find you.”
A thrill moved through him. Shit. “Tomorrow morning I’ll introduce you to the general manager, who’ll go over some paperwork and goals to make sure you get the most out of your time here.”
“Thanks.”
He cleared his throat. “You should text your father.”
“I will. I guess I’ll just order room service.” She shrugged. “Nice seeing you, Graham,” she said, and walked away.
He sucked in his breath. Shouldn’t he at least feed her? They knew each other, and he couldn’t let her order room service during her first night in Hawaii before her trainee program. Wouldn’t it be the right thing to do? She’d text Jacob and tell him his best friend hadn�
��t even bothered to make her arrival special. Damn. Jacob always made time for him when he visited L.A., where Graham used to live. Many times he’d even throw a dinner affair. Once he’d visited California for his birthday and Jacob and his wife, Anna, had prepared a surprise birthday party for him. And what was he doing in return?
“Kate,” he called, and she turned around. “I’ll take you to dinner tonight. I’ll pick you up at the lobby at seven.”
“I’ll be ready.”
Graham forced a smile. One dinner and that would be all.
