Free Take Me If You Dare by Candace Havens Page B

again. Teasing her with his tongue and relishing the taste of her.
    Mar wrapped her legs around him. “I’m a pirate, and I’ve captured you. I thought you should know,” she warned him.
    He smiled and nipped at her ear. “Are you going to keep me in your quarters and have your way with me?”
    “Oh, yes.” Her voice had dipped low again as herfinger teased his neck. “I’m going to keep you naked and make you pleasure me over and over again. I’ll only allow you to stop for the occasional meal, and maybe a few hours’ rest. I’m insatiable, you know. I’m going to wear you out in a big way.”
    Jackson couldn’t keep from laughing. “I see. Well, I guess I’m resigned to my fate. Do with me what you wish, fair maiden.”
    She lifted an eyebrow.
    “I mean, very scary pirate woman.” He corrected himself and tried to give her a serious look, which failed miserably.
    Mar moved her body against his crotch. “Oh, I will do exactly what I wish, don’t worry about that.”
    Jackson decided right then that he very much liked being a pirate woman’s booty call.

    S OMETHING PRICKED HIS SENSES, and Jackson reluctantly pulled his mouth from Mar’s. Still in the water, he scanned the area, searching for the intrusion. Even with the distraction of the woman wrapped around him, his training always kicked in.
    There was movement outside their villa and his eyes narrowed.
    He relaxed when he realized their breakfast had arrived. A waiter dressed in a white coat and black pants had set the table.
    “Time to eat,” he whispered in her ear.
    “Um, suddenly I’m not so hungry for food.” She gave him a saucy wink.
    He kissed her neck. “Trust me, you’re going to need tons of protein. I have such plans for you.”
    He delighted in her soft laugh as she pushed away from him. Jackson straightened and was surprised that his cock was already missing her touch. The back side of her provided one luscious view as she bounced on to the beach.
    Yes, he’d feed her and then he was going to makelove to her on a bed where he could see her face as he drove into her. His mission for the next twenty-four hours was to make her scream with pleasure as many times as possible.
    It’s a tough task, but I’m ready for the challenge.
    After running on to the beach, he grabbed a towel. A king’s feast had been set up on a teak table. Fruit, pancakes, bacon, eggs, muffins and toast.
    Mariska was already biting into a strawberry. She looked so carefree, wrapped in a towel and sitting cross-legged in her chair. She’d pulled her long hair into a clip and even with no makeup she was a stunner.
    She caught him staring and brought a napkin to her chin to wipe her red and oh-so-kissable lips. “Do I have juice on my face? I can’t help it. This fruit is so fresh. It’s been so long since I’ve had a meal, I feel like I could eat everything here.”
    Jackson wrapped his towel around his waist and sat down. Stabbing a fork into a couple of pancakes, he put them on his plate. “Hope you don’t mind if I take a couple of these before you inhale the rest.” He grinned at her, taking the bite out of his words.
    The smile she gave him made his heart do funny things. “Probably a good idea,” she said. “I happen to be a pancake freak. In college those poor waitresses at IHOP cringed when I came in to study on Endless Pancake Day. You have to try the bacon. It’s from heaven. I don’t know why I love fried pig so much, but I do.”
    This time he was the one who laughed. “Fried pig?”
    She shrugged. “We couldn’t say the word bacon in our house. We had this old retriever, Terry the Terrible,who would knock you down if you said it. The dog loved him some bacon. While his ears were great, his sense of smell wasn’t. If you called it fried pig you could usually make it to the table with the plate.”
    Jackson leaned forward. “You had a dog named Terry the Terrible?”
    Rolling her eyes, she set down her fork. “You have no
