Now it was Kendall’s turn to draw away. He leaned back, pressing a few soft kisses around my mouth as if in apology.
“Deacon.” Arms looped loosely around my neck, he looked into my eyes. “Is this what you want?”
Yes, my body screamed.
My hands loosened, slipped down to his ass, and tightened again. “Yes.”
He continued to look at me. “I sense there’s a ‘but’ in there.”
I couldn’t help it. I squeezed his butt. “But… I’m coming out of a relationship. Well,” I amended, “a divorce, and it’s turned nasty.”
“I’m sorry.” There was no surprise in his gaze. I had mentioned it but hadn’t given any details. Considering I had arrived alone at the resort, without friends or family, it couldn’t be that much of a surprise.
Kendall had told me to be blunt. Here went nothing.
“I’m only interested in something short—something that lasts the week.”
“You want me to be your wild vacation fling?”
I steeled myself. “Yes. I can’t do more than that, and I don’t want to give my ex any more fodder for the divorce settlement.”
Saying it out loud made me feel like a complete tool. Yes, I’d had friends-with-benefits relationships with women in the past, but never something with a firm expiration date. And never with an employee. Kendall had every right to storm out of here and request a transfer to some other resort guest.
To my surprise, Kendall only regarded me for a silent moment. I couldn’t read the expression in his green eyes.
“Well,” he said, “I’ve always wanted to be the hot side piece.”
My heart jumped, but I felt I had to clarify. “You aren’t, really. There’s no ‘main piece’.”
“The hot rebound guy, then.” He leaned forward, kissing me softly and nibbling on my lower lip. “The hot gay experiment?”
Not so much of an experiment anymore, I thought ruefully. Considering I had my tongue in his mouth and my dick was very much in agreement that it wanted to be in other places.
Fuck. I had loved anal when Lauren had let me do it. The thought of doing that with Kendall—how enthusiastic of a kisser he’d been so far—made my head swim.
I broke the kiss with reluctance, because the businessman who dealt with lawyers all day had to be sure. Kendall hadn’t verbalized his permission. It was important to me.
“So, this is okay with you?”
“Our little secret?” he quipped and then smiled. “Yes, I’m good with it. As for fodder… you can trust me to be discrete. Short-term works fine with me. I don’t ever leave the island, anyway.”
That last line struck me as a little odd, but then his tongue was in my mouth and for the next few minutes all thoughts were washed away.

I simply adored the way Deacon kissed.
With most guys, a kiss was simply a prelude to getting their dick sucked, but Deacon put effort and pleasure into it. He huffed a breath against my mouth, tongue flicking against the join of my lips like he was asking permission to enter.
I gave him what he wanted. His tongue slid in.
We kissed deeply, his tongue stroking against mine and then darting away as if enticing me to follow. I did with a low moan of pleasure. His hands tightened on my hips. There was strength in his grip—strength I wanted to explore and test out for myself.
Outside, thunder rolled. The rumble of it seemed to echo between our bodies.
Deacon sat straighter and glanced out the nearest window. I followed his gaze.
