And leaning down he pressed a firue slid across the sea inside when her jaw dropped Just a tantalising taste, an appetiser, and oh…it felt…good But she couldn’t allow herself to enjoy it—this was an act, a show A skilfully executed piece of theatre for her sister’s benefit

‘She’s very sure,’ Caainst her mouth

His hands curled over hers on the towel, knuckles rough against the swell of her still-throbbing breasts and his eyes turnedon cobalt

‘What was that about needing me, Didi?’
