made her even happier. ‘It’s such a cliché.’ She giggled.
    â€˜It’s a universal truth. Fresh air always clears your head.’
    Fresh air and a hunk of a man to fulfil every sensual wish.
    â€˜But you need to get out of the sun,’ he said, running a finger over her shoulder before slipping away, splashing back into the water.
    He dived, swimming out—for a moment looking like some fantasy merman or something. Except he had legs. Really good, muscular ones.
    She sighed, reluctant to move, but then if she didn’t she really was going to drown. She sat up and looked about for her clothes. Her most expensive lingerie was floating back and forth on the tide, ruined by sand and salt water.She screwed it into a ball and put it in the drenched hat with the equally sodden wrap. Thankfully her dress had landed farther up on the beach and remained largely dry. Most of the sand tumbled from the fabric as she shook it, but there was still half the beach in her hair and sticking to her body. She didn’t care. She really didn’t care—still on a high from the most intense sensual experience of her life.
    She turned to watch him emerge from the water. The faint imprint in the sand that their bodies had made as they’d lain together was just visible. But as she watched the waves washed the marks away. Just like that, it was a smooth blank canvas once more. They might never have been there. No one ever would know. But she didn’t want the memory to go just like that. She wanted to savour it like the precious thing it was.
    She slipped into her dress and tried not to watch too obviously as he pulled on his shorts. He really did have the most incredible body she’d ever seen.
    â€˜So.’ She cleared her throat. ‘Training in Canada?’ It wasn’t that the silence was awkward, but she needed to think of something normal and stop the spinning of her nerves.
    â€˜Yeah, I’ve been in the pool a lot to keep my fitness up, but there I’ll get back on the slopes.’ He matched her steps as she walked back along the beach, eventually turning up towards the car. From the corner of her eye she could see his mostly bare, bronzed body.
    Deep inside she softened again while her breasts tightened. Muscles that had been languid were licked to attention by anticipation once more as she remembered the moments that had passed too soon. She knew that when they got back to the car the spell would be broken—butshe wanted to feel the magic some more. She wanted him again—this second.
    Now that really was insane. She swallowed, trying to get a grip on her pulse as they walked beneath the stand of trees where her car was parked. But it was all she could think of—she wanted him to kiss her again, she wanted him to do everything again. Dear heaven, she wanted to do it all and more to him. The crazy lust overwhelmed her again. She stumbled. His hand shot out and he grabbed her wrist, helping her regain her balance.
    â€˜Kelsi?’ He pulled, gently drawing her close to him.
    She stared up at him, overwhelmed by the chaos of emotions running through her body. She’d never had a sensual experience like that before. She’d never felt revered or wanted or as desirable as that. She’d never felt as at one with another—so in sync, so comfortable. She’d never come with a man like that before.
    And she was so grateful she was near to tears.

    Jack lifted her up so he could kiss her again. Pushing down the growl of frustration that threatened to emerge from his mouth as if he were some bear just out of hibernation and lethally hungry. He was shaking with starvation now—but they couldn’t do it again.
    Damn.
    She trembled as he put her on the bonnet of her car; he felt the answering spasm in his muscles and clutched her even closer.
    â€˜I only had the one condom.’ He groaned, forcing himself to cling to reality. ‘Kids
