I moaned, waiting for his fingers to sink inside me. To put me out of my aching, burning misery.
But he froze as he stared at how wet I was, drinking in my folds. His gaze dropped to his glistening cock and his gorgeous face turned hard. Without a word, he wrapped an arm around my hips and pulled me up.
My wetness smeared along his cock.
My mouth parted in shock. “Aslan...?”
“Sit on me. Fuck me as hard as you want. I’m done. I’m so fucking done.”
My heart smashed through my ribs and flew into the sky. I could barely kneel over him as he reached down, angled his length, and gasped.
Finally.
Finally.
I trembled as I sat down.
I cried out as the first breach of him blew my soul apart.
I turned to liquid. Burning, churning liquid as I went to sit and—
“Fuck!” Aslan ripped me off him, tripped upright, then stumbled across the small cabin with his shorts down, cock out, and me in his arms. Shoving me in the tiny bathroom, he yanked up his shorts, ran a manic hand through his hair, then spun to face the stairs. “Hi, Jack.”
“Aslan, hey.”
With a cry, I closed the bathroom door as quickly and as quietly as I could. My father’s voice sailed through the thin wood. “Neri swimming?”
“Upset tummy, I think. Just came to check on her.” Aslan’s footsteps moved away from the door, his voice strained. “How are the starfish?”
“Worse than we thought. Just came back to grab the bags to clean up. Bastards slaughtered thousands.”
“If Neri is up to it, I’ll see if she’ll swim down and help.”
“Thanks. That would be great. See you soon.”
My father’s splash as he fell back into the ocean didn’t settle my heart.
My straying hand between my legs didn’t help.
Even as I brought myself to a very unsatisfactory orgasm, tears ran down my cheeks because I’d been so close. We’d been so close. We could’ve slept together, and if we had, there would’ve been no more sneaking. No more hiding. The day Aslan fucked me was the day he’d have no choice but to tell my parents about us because I knew him.
He wouldn’t sully me without confessing how he felt.
He would be honest with them that we were together.
Everything would be out in the open, and we could move on...
Yet the way he hid me so quickly...
I hated that a twinge of shame and something dirty coiled insidiously through me. He’d hid me so fast...almost as if he never expected to face the consequences of what we’d been doing.
Don’t...
Don’t go there.
That’s not true.
So why did those nasty thoughts grow louder, tangling and tormenting worse and worse, trailing behind us in the water like toxic oil all the way home?

I PACED MY SMALL SALA-BEDROOM.
Images of Neri on her knees, her lips stretched around my cock, her grunts as she took me as deep as she could manage—
Fucking hell...
Dragging my hands down my face, I gritted my teeth.
Think!
The way Neri licked her lips after I came—
Not about that.
About what you’re going to do about her parents.
We’d been so close today.
So close to having sex.
So close to being caught.
I was surprised we’d lasted four months with just a few close calls. I was even more surprised we’d both lasted four months without snapping and giving in to sex, regardless of my strict rules not to fully cross that line until I had Jack’s permission.
But today...when she’d swallowed and I’d smeared her with the last droplet of my desire, and she’d looked at me with that aching, breaking darkness that I knew so well, I couldn’t help it.
My body had had no intention of deflating. It’d been inside her mouth. It knew what it’d been missing now and desperately wanted to be in other parts of her. And, fuck me, that first tight, wet, insanely hot sensation of her as she sank over my tip had blown my ever-loving mind.
But then I’d heard a heavy thump.
Followed by a grunt of effort.
I’d moved before I fully understood it was Jack back on the boat.
And thank hell, I did. Otherwise, I doubted the rest of the day would’ve been as smooth. We wouldn’t have all sat down for Nemo burger takeaways or been as calm and chatty around the outdoor dining table.
The entire time we ate dinner, my skin prickled with the electrical current constantly arcing between me and Neri. She’d done her best to avert her eyes from mine because every time she caught my gaze, we both froze. Both sucked in a breath. Both burned.
Not that Anna or Jack noticed.
Poor Neri was hovered over by her mother for the white lie I’d told of her stomach being off. And Neri had vanished into her room after dinner, almost as if she couldn’t wait to get away from me.
