Tugging her close enough so she could feel his cock pressing against her.
He watched her eyes widen just before he lowered his mouth and captured her lips in a single blistering kiss. With his other hand, Rafe cupped her backside, his fingers kneading her flesh through the slinky gown.
Vivi moaned against his mouth and lifted her fingers to his hair. Raking her fingers over his scalp, she pressed herself against his erection.
Rafe deepened the kiss, and ran his tongue over the inside of her mouth, tasting the champagne, reveling in the sounds she was making.
He needed her under him, making love with him and soon. Angling her head, he took the kiss further, encouraged by her response.
Her hands were now roaming over the front of his jacket, pushing it off his shoulders, her fingers fumbling with the buttons on the dress shirt.
Somewhere close by, Rafe heard the sound of a throat clearing and the fog lifted from his brain.
The dining room.
Paulie.
The crew.
He felt Vivi tense up and he tightened his hold. He wasn’t going to let her get away this easy. Not this time.
Rafe lifted his head to find Paulie alone in the room, smiling at him. The crew had vanished along with Jeff and John.
“That is exactly what I hoped would happen. You two have given Out of Bounds the perfect finale. And with that I bid you both good night.”
Paulie turned and practically skipped out of the room.
Vivi lifted her head and looked at him. “Is everyone standing behind me?” she whispered.
He shook his head. “Nope, it’s just the two of us. Everyone’s gone.”
She pulled back out of his embrace and Rafe reluctantly let her go.
“Join me for dinner tonight.” He spoke the words quickly for fear she disappear as well.
“I don’t know if that’s such a good idea.”
“I think it’s the perfect idea. Seems as though we’ve got a lot to talk about right now. Just the two of us, no crowd. We’ll dine on the terrace off my stateroom or yours. Up to you.”
Vivi stared at him as though trying to figure out what he was up to.
“What could it hurt? It’s the last night of the shoot and the day after tomorrow everyone goes back to their regular lives. It’s only one dinner, Vivi.”
She sighed before answering. “Okay, yes I’ll have dinner with you.”
“My place or yours?” Rafe asked, wagging his eyebrows up and down.
Vivi couldn’t resist a laugh. “Your place. I want to see how to other half lives for a change.”
“Allow me.” Rafe offered up his arm and led Vivi from the dining room and toward the elevator and his stateroom. Tonight he’d have the sultry Vivian Bloom right where he wanted her. Naked and in his bed.
Chapter Five
“Your yacht is beautiful.”
“Thank you. I work hard for the things I have in my life and I play just as hard.” Rafe popped the cork off the champagne bottle and poured her a glass.
“Thanks.” Vivi accepted the proffered glass and took a sip.
“I never knew you were such a tease, Vivian Bloom.”
“Now why would you say that?” Vivi dipped her finger in the bowl of whipped cream, and then popped it in her mouth. She slowly licked the white froth from her index finger, all the while staring at Rafe.
She knew exactly what she was doing to him and she was enjoying every second. Something had changed in the dining room. Vivi couldn’t explain it, but it had. It was as though a light switch had been flipped in her brain. Showing her what she was missing by not acting on her attraction to Rafe.
Vivi didn’t want to let it pass by. She wanted to explore further what she’d felt wrapped in his arms, kissing him, touching him earlier.
Rafe grabbed her hand, dipped it in the whipped cream and then lifted it to his mouth. “I do hope you were planning to share dessert.” He sucked her finger into his mouth and laved the topping from her skin with slow, sensual strokes.
Her mouth opened but no words came out. She was fixated on the sight of his mouth licking her
