disappear under the surface, Katerina caught it in her hand, her tongue aching to taste him. To tease him.
    She positioned herself in front of him and he groaned in anticipation.
    "I'm surprised at you, Katerina," he choked out before she could get her mouth on him. Her grip and her resolve wilted.
    "Surprised?" she asked.
    He looked pointedly at her hand, then looked straight up at the hotel. Katerina followed his gaze. There were less balconies on this side of the hotel, only the most expensive suites faced the ocean directly, but they did exist. In her brief glance, Katerina did not see one person, but her heart leapt into her throat. She hadn't thought of the balconies!
    "Oh my God!" she squeaked, grabbing West and pulling him into the water and ducking so her bare breasts dropped under the surface. West chuckled, his deep voice reverberating around the enclosed area.
    "Is this what you were planning?" she hissed at him.
    "I thought maybe we could take a moonlight swim, then have a little fun in the cabana," he told her, taking her in his arms. "It's open to the night air, but no one can see us in there."
    "Oh," she said, laying her head on his chest.
    "But I like this idea too," West said, gathering her wet hair over one shoulder and kissing her neck on the other side.
    "No, West, no way," she breathed, her core heating up again, even through the cooling effects of the water swirling around her.
    "No one is watching," West rasped, the sandpaper in his voice fueling her ever-present desire for him.
    "You don't know that," she offered weakly as he kissed her collarbone, his stubble raking deliciously over her soft skin, causing tingles to slither up and down her spine.
    "Just give me a minute," he breathed, pulling her in closer. "You feel so good. Now that I've got you naked against me, I don't want to let you go."
    Katerina allowed herself to be pulled up close to him, feeling his erection pulse hotly between them. Her skin slipped liquidly against his, the sensation only increasing her desire.
    She tilted her head back, giving West greater access to her neck, but also looking up, searching for someone watching them. She saw no one, but that didn't mean anything. West's lips increased their pressure on the spots he knew to be the most sensitive on her and she sucked in a breath, caught on the cusp of a decision. No one could see anything right now that they wouldn't see on any street in the country.
    She dropped her attention back to West and his talented lips. His hands slipped under her ass, pulling her closer. Katerina wrapped her legs around him and surrendered herself to him, letting him ply her with kisses, with words of love, with hot passion that threatened to undo her.
    West ran a hand up her back into her hair and she gazed directly into his eyes.
    "I love you," he said, as if the words came of their own accord, as if he couldn't not say them.
    "I love you too," she responded, and dropped a hand between them, finding his cock, loving the way the expression on his rugged face hardened at her touch.
    With one deft movement, Katerina grasped his erection and slipped it to her entrance, feeling it throbbing there.
    West's eyes widened slightly in surprise, seeming to ask her, did she really want to do this ?
    She did. "Yes, West," she breathed. She could do something out of character just this once. She could tack on a night of wild, public sex to the memories of this day she never wanted to forget.
    He needed no more encouragement. He pulled her hips down sharply and filled her completely. She moaned into his neck as the sensation of fullness went on and on. She tried to wriggle her hips, create friction that would send her over the edge, but West pushed her against the wall of the pool, then pinned her wrists to her sides, effectively holding her completely still.
    He locked gazes with her, demanding her complete surrender, telling her he was in charge of their love-making. He would decide when and how she could
