Ryan made no attempt to hide the fact that he wanted her. Maria could see that the darkness of his eyes and every shadow in his perfectly chiseled face all attested to his desire.

“Yes,” she said as she slipped off her high heels and carried them, so she could walk barefoot in the sand.

“Are you sure that’s safe?” he asked.

To her amazement, he did exactly that, removing his boat shoes. “Nice.”

When he took her hand, she couldn’t suppress a tiny cry at the contact. A hot ache grew in the back of her throat, making her realize what they’d all said would happen was true. Desire, want and need had the potential to morph into so much more.

“Maria?” He turned to her, and swept her into his arms. She felt her body soften as her curves molded to his hard, muscular body. Her skin tingled from the touch of his hands as his long, elegant fingers caressed her arms.

And then he kissed her.
