Welcome to the 97th week of My Sexy Saturday.
This week’s theme is Our Sexy Best and it brought to mind another song: Tina Turner’s The Best. If you haven’t heard this song, you should look it up because it has all the emotion needed for a hot, sexy romance. The one line that really carries this theme is the second one: Better than all the rest. This line is what this theme is all about.
This theme has no genre, no rules except that the characters know their other half is better than all the rest. They may have had lovers before but nothing compares to the lover they are with.
Her chest heaved, she raked her hand through his hair and the whiskers of his beard, but she remained silent until her breathing calmed. She cradled his head in her palms and pulled him to her. “Marko,” she huffed. “I’ve never experienced anything as good as this.”
He smiled and placed another soft kiss on her forehead. Yes, he’d recognized the look of a pleasant surprise on her face when she’d climaxed. “Good? It was amazing. You were amazing. You wait and see. It will get better.”
“Better?” A smile stretched her lips and a long satisfied sigh escaped her.
“Oh yes,” he murmured, rubbing her soft stomach. “There may not pass a single day if I don’t show you my love.”
Her expression changed with his pledge. She looked away.
And her silence and stiffness pressed heavily on his shoulders. A single tear slid down her face and broke his heart. He wiped the droplet off with his thumb. “I wish,” she sniffed. “I wish this could be. I truly do.” She shook her head slowly. “But it’s...impossible.”
He cupped her face in his palms, tilting her head toward him. “Don’t say impossible. There are always complications, but don’t give up on me—on us, Carmen. We’ll find a way to be together.”
Her forehead creased as her gray eyes examined his face. “I’m a widow and a pirate whose head can bring a hefty
reward.”
“And I’m bound to wed a woman I can’t stand to look at.” The bristly wool blanket brushed his skin as he rolled to
his back, pulling her head to his chest. “I’d rather sail the seas with you for the rest of my life.”
“You would become a pirate?” Astonishment laced her voice. “For me?”
He nodded. “For you I would do anything.” He spoke nothing but the truth. But would she be brave enough to accept him?
