He groans into my mouth, clutching my body against his and forcing his tongue past my lips. I know I should push him away, but I’m not

ready to yet.

He tastes like whiskey, and I find myself drinking him in as I forcefully suck on his tongue. My mind swirls with the sounds of pleasure I elicit from him. His bicep flexing against my shoulders, causing me to shiver and arch my back so that his mouth drop in to nibble my

earlobe.

“I want you,” he hisses, stroking the outide of my leg with one hand. Every trek he makes over my hip burns through my jeans to tattoo my skini beneath. Liting me into his arms and ppressing my into his chest, he carries me bridal style toward the companionway, without breaking our kiss.

I splay my fingers over his chest, tracing the contoured steel of his pectorals and feeling them flex beneath my fingertips. God he feels good to touch. Electricity courses through my body, my center thrumming with need.

We enter the stateroom and I fall onto the bed. Dropping his weight down on top me, he deepenes the kiss, stroking his hand down over my breast then caressing and groping over my hip. He slides one powerful leg between both of mine to bring his knee up against my heat and I cry out with pleasure.

No! Wait a minute! My bruises.

“Stop,” I hiss, between kisses. “Stop please!”

He pushes his body into mine, mumbling against my neck. “Why? I want this,” he says. “I want you.”

“Stop,” I say again. “Please stop.”

He freezes with his hand locked on my waist, and his thigh pressing my legs apart. He lifts his head and his eyes are full of worry. “I–I’m sorry. I’m drunk.” He rolls off of me to stand next to the bed.

Drunk? Drunk!? Is that the only reason he kissed me? Because he is drunk?

Running a hand through the unbound bangs of his shiny auburn hair he apologizes, “If I hadn’t been drinking that way, I would never have been so forceful. I-”

Wait, what?

‘Forceful?” I snap, sitting up against the headboard.

He turns around, his eyes full of remorse. “I should have been gentler.
