“No.”
Her eyes widened. “Really?” She tugged him close, then tugged on him again, closer and closer until their sides were pressed against each other. “There.” Her voice was a little breathless as she spoke. Daria had only wanted them close enough to fit in one photo, and they were, but she had failed to count on the effect of his proximity on her body.
Her gaze flickered towards her phone, and with its front-camera on, the screen displayed her flushed cheeks and the way her beautiful stranger was smirking.
He knew she was affected!
She blushed harder.
Nik was mesmerized. He had never caused a woman to blush before, or at least he hadn’t noticed having done so until now. Before this woman, he hadn’t paid much attention to the other sex.
The way her entire body started trembling again made it hard for Daria to take a photo, her fingers constantly failing to hold the phone at a proper angle.
“Let me,” her Greek offered huskily.
She let him take the phone from her without a word, but instead of taking the photo right away, she was surprised to have his arm curve around her waist just as he moved back. He pulled her against him, her back pressed against his chest.
That was when she felt it, the unmistakably hard and throbbing shape of his arousal, and her eyes widened—-
Click.
Her eyes widened even more in horror as she thought about the kind of face she had made in the photo. And when she heard him chuckle behind her, she knew he had done it deliberately. “Oh my God, you—-” She whirled around and smacked him on the chest, and his chuckle turned into a rusty-sounding laugh.
She laughed with him until her gaze fell on his arousal.
Daria stopped laughing and started choking.
Sheesh, that was huge.
And God, was it growing even bigger?
Nik watched her gulp and choke at the sight of his erection. The longer she stared at him, the more aroused he was, and when she raised her eyes to his, Nik was amused to find alarm in her gaze. He told her mildly, “You only have yourself to blame for it.”
She could see he wasn’t even joking, and curse it, but the way he was so serious about everything just made him hotter in her eyes. It also made her want to keep doing outrageous things because, for some reason, having this man go wild for her gave Daria a huge high.
Her gaze moving back to his erection, she wetted her lips once more as she heard herself ask, “What are we standing here for?”
It was the last thing she was able to say. It was his turn to tug, and with one hard yank, she stumbled against him, her breasts once more flattening against his chest. Another hand drove deep into her dark tresses and pulling her head close, he covered her mouth with his.
Her toes curled at the kiss, and they curled even harder when she heard him mutter against her lips, “Behave or I’ll fuck you here.”
Nik meant every word. Exhibition had always been distasteful for him, but for this woman, he was beginning to realize that the lines between what he did and didn’t despise tended to blur.
When he released her mouth, she could only whisper, “Yes.” By now, she knew he wasn’t the type to joke, and while she wasn’t a shy person at all, she certainly wasn’t that shameless to have her first time in public.
Her heart hammered against her chest as they started to walk. He pressed something to her free hand at one point, and when she looked down, she realized she had forgotten all about her phone.
“It makes you feel better to have that photo emailed for your safety, ne?”
She nodded. It was embarrassing, the way she could talk a mile a minute but was now unable to because she was just so darn horny. It wasn’t easy to text with one hand – her Samsung Note was larger than most phones – but she managed. She could probably manage to do everything with one hand right now, just to keep herself in her Greek’s hold. It was a long fifteen-minute walk, but Daria found herself not minding even though she normally would have. She also found herself not paying attention at all to her surroundings, only noticing that they were walking away from the upscale part of the island and heading towards the more remote portions, where only cabanas and tiny huts were available for rent to tourists.
That was a cause for worry, of course – she had heard how basic the amenities in such places were, and while she could live without cable TV and hot showers, she absolutely needed air-conditioning. Right now, she should be asking him about it, but she didn’t. She couldn’t. Right now, she was just too busy marveling at the feel of his touch. It was so...possessive. Daria didn’t know why it felt so, but it was the only word that came to mind. He struck her as someone who didn’t make any claim lightly, but when he did, she had a feeling he took his sense of ownership very seriously.
