As they took the stairs to the beach and hit the sand, Jenny decided to stop worrying about getting caught and enjoy the most insane thing she’d ever done. They splashed into the cool water together, and she had to admit it was the first time all day she hadn’t felt like she was roasting over an open fire.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about,” he said as he fell backward into the water, completely submerging himself.

Jenny had begun to wonder where he’d gone when she felt his hands cupping her ass and his lips on her back.

He drew her into his lap, settling his erection into the cleft of her bottom.

“How can you be ready to go again after what just happened up there?” She gestured to the lighthouse.

“It’s all you, baby. You turn me on like no one ever has.”

The revealing statement went straight to her heart, where it was firmly rejected. This relationship was not about hearts or flowers or even relating in any way other than physical. She’d do well to remember that before she got too involved. He didn’t even know her last name or anything about her other than where she lived and who some of her friends were.

Linc Mercier knew more about her than the man who was currently playing with her nipples as his hot, wet lips tortured her neck. Jenny couldn’t believe the way her sex tightened in anticipation of more. She wouldn’t be able to move tomorrow.

“Bend forward a little bit,” he whispered in that gruff voice that got to her every time.

“Why?”

“Just do it.” He kept a firm grasp of her hips as she hesitantly did as he directed. When he had her positioned the way he wanted her, he slid into her from behind, driving all the way to the hilt in one long stroke that made her cry out from the impact as well as the cool rush of water inside her. “Hurt?”

She swallowed frantically, trying to form words. “No.”

He settled her back against him, spreading her legs wide so they were on either side of his and working her clit and nipple from behind. “I told you a swim was what we needed to cool off.”

Her shaky laugh drew one from him, too. This is utter insanity! Then he flexed his thighs, opening her farther so he could cup her sex where they were joined. He barely moved, and yet he managed to take her to the brink with just the angle of his penetration, the press of his fingers and the brush of his whiskers on the back of her neck.
