“It’s even better on the north shore.” He drew back, and balanced himself on his elbows, his face turned toward the sky. “No light pollution from high-rises where I live.”
She smiled. “You’ve already sold me. I really do want to go see your place.”
“People who come here and stay in Waikiki their whole vacation have not seen Hawaii.”
“A woman I worked with told me I needed to go to the other islands. Maui and Kauai, I think?”
He corrected her pronunciation, putting more emphasis on the vowels, then added, “Yep, Kauai especially. Maui’s gotten too commercial for my taste, though there are still some awesome places like Haleakala and Hana. Even here on Oahu a lot of spots would blow you away they’re so green and beautiful and untouched.”
“I’ve seen pictures.”
“Not the same.”
The passion in his voice fueled her excitement. “I’ve always wanted to see a waterfall.”
“I know the perfect place. Do you like to hike?” He changed positions to lie on his side, facing her. “The mountains here seem to go on forever,” he said, and casually splayed a hand on her belly. “If you’re adventurous enough, you can still find places no one’s ever been.”
It always caught her off guard when he touched her. Her family weren’t huggers. Even as a kid she was rarely patted on the head or kissed on the cheek.
“I’m not very athletic,” she warned, in case he had some foolish idea they’d go backpacking into the clouds. It looked fun, even romantic on the big screen. And it so wasn’t going to happen. Not for her. “I haven’t made time to exercise in ages. I’m sure you’ve already figured that out,” she muttered as an aside.
He lifted his head. “How would I know that?” He ran his palm up her belly over her rib cage, stopping just below her breasts. “I’m not getting that impression. Maybe I should explore further.” He’d slid his hand beneath the hem of her top before her addled brain could register his intention.
“What are you doing?”
“Really?” he said with a laugh.
“Shut up.”
She acknowledged the sudden throb of longing in her chest, resentful of the barriers between them.
She shuddered when his fingers slipped inside a silk cup and grazed the sensitive puckered flesh of her right breast.
He dipped his head, briefly kissed her lips. “Do you want me to make love to you here?” he asked in a low sexy murmur that seemed to dance along her nerve endings. He caressed her nipple, plucking lightly at it until she’d arched her back.
