  “No,” he replied quickly through narrowed eyes, knowing that he got caught. She understood his insecurities, and she watched him closely. “I’m sorry, baby,” he muttered. “I just wanted to come home and be with you.”

  She raised an eyebrow inquisitively, and taking a deep breath, she gave a tender smile. She sensed his uneasiness, but curiosity made her ask the next question. “Did something happen while you were away?”

  “Why?”

  “You sound different,” she said firmly.

  He looked completely unnerved. “We don’t need to talk about this anymore, Arielle, do we?”

  She remained silent, gazing into his eyes in surprise. “No, we don’t,” she muttered nonchalantly. She curled her fingers around the music player and rose to her feet slowly. Sebastian moved quickly, and taking the beach towel, he gave it a hard shake. He threw the towel over his left hand, and turning around, he faced her, giving her a stern gaze. He moved closer. Cupping her chin with his right hand, he tipped her head back, and his mouth came down on hers with unbelievable vigor.

  “God!” Every time he took possession of her mouth she lost control of her senses. She melted against his hard body and surrendered to an in-depth and fierce kiss. The pleasure was shattering, the spark grew into an inferno in a matter of seconds, and her knees buckled. Sebastian felt her wobbling; he let go of her chin and wrapped his arm quickly around her waist, holding her steady against him. She sighed contently, and he groaned, feeling every muscle in his body contract.

  Even though he wanted to prolong the pleasure of the kiss, he stopped and pulled his lips a hairpin away. “Let’s go home,” he breathed against her lips. “I want you, but I don’t want to put us on display.” He gathered her in his arms and held her tightly, feeling the warmth of her body that made his blood rush wildly through his veins.

  “I can’t sleep without you,” she murmured, resting her head on his shoulder. “I fell asleep at six o’clock this morning, and I’m dead tired.”

  “I’m sorry, love. It wasn’t easy for me, either.” He licked his lips, trying to preserve the sweetness of her mouth on his just a little longer, or at least until they got home. He smiled to himself.

  “Did you finish your business in Brussels?” she asked quietly.

  “Yes.” He was still smiling.

  “Are you going away again?”

  “No, not if I can help it,” he replied and gave her a soft squeeze. “I don’t want you to worry about that.”

  “But I do.” Her voice was a soft whisper.

  “I’m here right now.”

  Arielle looked up and fixed her eyes on his beautiful face. The corners of his mouth lifted into that amazing smile that made her heart skip a beat.

  “You don’t know how happy I am to be home,” he muttered.

  She snuggled even closer. “Why don’t you tell me?”

  Sebastian grinned like a small child, his voice tantalizing. “I would rather show you.”

  “I think I would rather hear it right now,” she teased.

  Sebastian couldn’t hold back laughter. “You’ll soon find out,” he breathed against her ear, his voice a husky whisper. Their gaze locked, and Arielle’s breath held at her throat. The wolfish grin on Sebastian’s face made her stomach quiver, as if an army of butterflies surged through her body, and she felt suspended in time. She was lost in the passion that simmered out of his emerald eyes. She was delighted! And he was home!

  He clasped her hand and thrill shot up his arm and slipped into his bones, leaving him breathless. He looked into those blue pools in her eyes and got lost. He shook his head and managed to say. “What are you doing to me?”

  She looked up, a mirthful glint coating her eyes. “I have no idea what you mean?” Suddenly, she giggled outright, and jerking her hand away from his, she didn’t hesitate before running toward the house without as much as a glance back.

  A shocked moment passed. Sebastian eyes opened wide and his brows arched as he watched for a short moment and then he smiled lustfully. So she wants to play. Game on, Arielle…
