Val was amazing. Slim as he was, Cora hadn't expected to see muscle definition, but it was there, in his cut chest and six-pack abs. A fine layer of dark hair curled around both coppery nipples and down to bisect his stomach then flared out again around his jutting erection. She hadn't seen all that many in real life, but this one was impressive, long, not too thick but rigid as a steel bar and curved upward with anticipation."Come here." His command was soft and confident. Cora didn't hesitate a moment before walking into the circle of his arms. The warmth of his skin against hers, the crisp hair of his chest against her cheek and the musky scent of him all swirled around her, swamping her senses to the point where she could barely separate one from the other.Val eased onto the bed, pulling her down on top of him. He held her with both arms while he kissed her until her limbs felt limp as noodles. There was nothing limp about Val though. He was lean but solid and strong as he roll

He was all packed and ready to leave at first light tomorrow morning, but Val was actually nervous when it came time to pick Cora up that evening. Since their flight was early, they'd decided it would be smarter to spend the night together at his place.Yeah, even he knew that was a lame excuse. But he did want Cora to see his loft and he didn't want to spend the night alone. So, he was having dinner at her place, meeting her roommate, and then taking her home with him afterward. From what she'd said, her roommate was the closest thing she had to a family, so he figured he'd better make a good impression. He stopped for flowers and a bottle of wine along the way.Cora answered the door, all smiles and rosy cheeks in jeans, heeled boots and a fluffy pink sweater. She'd put on makeup, he noticed, and even a tiny pair of silver heart-shaped earrings. Something in his chest clenched that she'd gone to such effort just for him. Mindful of the other woman looking on, he settled for a quick

Cora was barely conscious through the limo ride to the airport, security and being ushered in to the comfy first-class section of the plane. There were very few others in first class, so she and Val had an entire row to themselves. A very deferential flight attendant brought them coffee then a full, surprisingly excellent breakfast, most of which Cora was too tired to eat. Val, however, had apparently worked up an appetite before their showers this morning. He ate everything on his tray and most of hers. They both turned down alcohol in favor of coffee though. As soon as breakfast was over, Val popped up the arm between their seats and patted his lap."Take a nap.""What about you?" Even in here, he could barely stretch out his long legs. She couldn't imagine him getting comfortable enough to sleep."I'm good." He pulled a small ereader from his carry-on case. "I don't need a lot of sleep, so I brought a book to read. You, on the other hand, are still beat. I'd rather have you rest

Cora couldn't get over the resort. The more she saw the more awestruck she became. There were several restaurants, from black tie to a tiki bar on the beach. Everywhere she looked, turquoise waters or tropical blooms met her gaze. Inside the main hotel was a whole floor of exclusive shops, from estate jewelry to swimwear to one devoted to sex toys. She didn't quite get up the guts to go in that one with Val. Besides, she was pretty sure there was enough in the room to keep them busy for the length of their stay.He paused by the jewelry store and looked in. "Should I buy you some diamond earrings as a souvenir?" he teased.Cora shuddered. "I hate diamonds. My foster mother had this huge engagement ring that was her pride and joy. When she smacked me with that hand, the diamond used to leave wounds. I don't have any scars from it, but they still creep me out."Val kissed her cheek. "No scars on the outside," he said softly. "But plenty where it counts. No diamonds for mi corazon."D

It was their last full day on the island.Cora hated that her first thought on waking was a sad one. Today was Val's birthday, and she wanted it to be perfect, not wasted with regrets.With that in mind, she pushed back the covers, and before he fully woke up, she took the tip of his semi-erect cock into her mouth and sucked."Oh heart, good morning to you too." As he spoke, he hardened further.Cora wrapped her hands around his erection and continued to suck on the fat purple glans as she stroked his shaft.Val buried his hands in her hair and gripped her head, helping set the rhythm as he fucked her mouth.Cora couldn't believe how aroused she was just going down on him, but sucking him had her wet and aching. She added more suction and more pressure from her hands, making him groan."I'm going to come down your throat if you don't stop." He grunted the words of warning, even as he held her head to his groin.She pulled back just enough to circle his tip with her tongue and m
