Part of the reason I wanted to come to the beach was for this exact moment. Even though I’d already seen her naked, I’d been drunk. I remember everything that happened between us the night before, but now, in the brilliant light of day, Jade looks so much brighter and more vivid than my blurry memories.
The other reason I wanted to come out here was to spend some time alone with her without anyone else around. I’m still conflicted about sleeping with my assistant or whatever is going on between us. So I don’t want all of my business colleagues there to witness it.
I’m not ashamed of Jade. I’m ashamed of myself for succumbing to the tired old cliché of the executive and his secretary on a ‘business’ trip in Thailand. It makes me feel like an asshole. No one would understand how amazing Jade is. They wouldn’t think, “Oh, maybe he really likes her.” They would judge her the way I judged all the women my associates brought along to these types of conferences.
I couldn’t bear to have them think of my Jade like that, not unless I know it’s worth it. But it’s way too early to be sure about any of that yet. All I know about her is that I enjoy her company and she’s so damn gorgeous it hurts to look at her. For now, that is enough.
Jade stands in the water. The waves come up to her knees. She turns around and waves to me, beckoning me like a siren. “Are you coming?” she calls.
I shrug off my worries with my clothes and run out to join her.
Chapter 13

We get back to our hotel suite, and I’m still feeling relaxed in a way I haven’t felt in a long time. It wasn’t just taking the time to slow down at the beach. It’s Jade. She has this effect on me. She makes me want to slow down and appreciate life. And in this moment, I’m a very appreciative man.
“I’m going to take a shower,” she says over her shoulder as she walks toward her bedroom.
I slip off my damp clothing, and I hear the shower turn on in Jade’s room. I glance down the hall to see her bedroom door standing wide open. Interesting. I pad down the hallway and look into her room. The bathroom door stands open as well.
If that’s not an invitation, I don’t know what is.
Jade is in the shower. I see her clearly through the transparent shower door. The water is steamy but it hasn’t clouded up the glass yet. She stands beneath the shower head with the water cascading down her naked body.
I’ve been ogling her all day at the beach, but seeing her naked has my heart hammering in my chest like I’m about to have a heart attack.
Her wet skin glistens in the light, giving her an otherworldly quality. Like someone so perfect shouldn’t even exist. But there she stands, mesmerizing me. Her eyes are closed. I’m glad she can’t see me. There’s no hiding the affection I feel for her. It must be written on every line of my face,
She arches her back, thrusting her breasts out. They’re full and heavy, and I want nothing more than to take her hard nipples in my hungry mouth. The urge to join her builds inside me, but I don’t move. I have to savor this moment. She’s so goddamn sexy it makes my chest hurt.
Jade turns underneath the cascade of water, giving me a fabulous view of her round ass. It’s like a firm ripe peach that I want to take a bite out of.
Slowly, she spins around and catches me watching her, lusting after her. Her eyes widen seductively, as her hands trace the lines of her naked body. My cock is at full attention. A sly smile spreads across her lips, and she beckons me to join her with one white finger.
I yank the door open so hard, it sounds like it might come off the hinges. I don’t care if it does. The hotel could be on fire and it wouldn’t stop me.
Our bodies collide. Her skin is hot and wet against mine. She slides against me, setting every cell in my body on fire. I lean down to kiss her. Her lips are soft and pliable. She parts them for me. Our tongues twist together, like our bodies are doing.
My arms wrap around her, and our legs mesh together. My cock presses against her hip, gliding along her skin with every movement. Just the light friction is enough to make my breath come heavy in my chest.
Her pussy pushes against my thigh. I flex my leg muscle instinctively, and she rubs herself over me. The heat coming from between her legs is hotter than the steamy water from the shower.
