Free Taming the Bachelor by M. J. Carnal

already?”  Rich winked as he finished his last bite of breakfast.  “Molly will be sad when she hears you are already moving on.”
     
    Mark just laughed as he signaled for the waitress.  “Well, she found me two places in Beverly Hills and one in the Hollywood hills so it’s not a done deal yet.  I have to like something first.”  He took a sip of his juice and noticed Caleb still glaring his way.  “What?”
     
    “Have you seen Soph?”  Caleb’s whole body was tense.
     
    “I did,” Chad got up from the table.  “She was leaving your room about an hour ago.  I’m heading back up to brush my teeth.  You want me to find her?”
     
    “Speak of the Devil,” Rich waved as Sophie and Molly rounded the corner.  They were both wearing bikinis and carrying towels. 
     
    “Mark, these were at the front desk for you.  Do you need to tell me something?”  Molly shoved a bunch of papers in front of his face. “Are you leaving us?  You stayed with us all of two nights.”  Molly pouted and took a seat on Rich’s lap.
     
    Mark grabbed the papers Molly had thrown and looked at the faxes as he ate some pineapple.  “No offense Molls, but when you and Rich get back from the honeymoon, I don’t want to be aware of anything you two may be doing.”  He looked up at Sophie and patted the chair next to him.  “Hi.”
     
    She blushed.  “Hi.”  She took a seat next to him and smiled at the rest of the group.  She was sure she imagined the stare she got from Caleb. No need to be nervous now.  She wouldn’t keep it from him if he asked.  But she would not intentionally bring it up.  Her eyes scanned over Mark’s body and up to the papers he was so carefully examining.  “What is that?”
     
    His eyes met hers.  He pulled her chair a little closer and handed her the top sheet.  “This, my dear, is a house that I am looking at next week.”  He studied the second sheet and her gaze dropped to the paper.  She gasped when she saw the 2.4 million dollar price tag.  Reaching under the table, his free hand found her knee and she settled.  “You like it?  Or this one maybe?”
     
    Why he was asking her, he had no idea.  Two times in the heat of passion did not a relationship make.  Relationship?  He froze.  Did he want that?  She took the second page from him and looked it over.  He felt her body completely relax under his touch.  He liked touching her. 
     
    He jumped when Ryan’s hands came crashing down onto his shoulders.  “Package delivered bro.  Now let’s go and check out the nude beach.” 
     
    “I’ll be right behind you.  I have a couple calls to make.”  Mark handed Sophie the third sheet and smiled at her.  “What do you think?”
     
    “Um, I don’t know.”  Sophie cleared her throat.  “It’s hard to tell from the pictures.  They look nice.”  She offered Mark a sexy smile and he took the hint.
     
    “They have a business center here, right?  Come on, let’s go look at the virtual tours.  I need a woman’s opinion.”  Mark grabbed her hand and pulled her a little too quickly from the group.  “We’ll be back.”
     
    When they hit the stairwell, he slammed Sophie against the wall and lifted her off the ground.  She wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him hard.  He cocked one eye brow and looked at her “Again?”
     
    “Again.”  She held him tight as he carried her up the stairs.

    She was completely satisfied.  She had never been touched like that.  She had never been kissed like that.  And her body had certainly never responded like that.  All those stories from her friends about how great sex was and she finally understood.  Mark was nothing like Shawn.  Heat poured from Mark’s fingers, his eyes were hungry, and his skill was unmatched.  She knew she was in trouble.  They only had one more day in Jamaica and she would have to let him go.  The instant connection she felt with him scared
