LOGINHARPER'S POV:
Before I could completely spiral and freak out, he grinned and nodded. "Yeah. I'm all right with that." A wave of relief washed over me. I smiled, and Hudson cupped the back of my head, gently drawing me to him. When our lips first met, I gasped, parting mine in return. He slipped his tongue into my mouth, and I completely melted against him. He started slow and gentle. His first kiss was like a tasting, a sampling, before quickly growing more demanding and insistent. His control slipped as his tongue tangled with mine. His moans mixed with my whimpers, causing a fire to burn within me. He moved his hands to my waist and gripped me tighter as our kiss became more frenzied. That fire within me exploded. I felt a tingling low in my belly. Suddenly, Hudson scooped me up into his arms. I let out a yelp of surprise and wrapped my arms around his neck. "What are you doing?" Breathless, I asked. "There's a spot just up ahead," he said as he began walking. "It's hidden behind some rocks. No one will be able to see us from the resort." "How did he know that?" I thought. Wait, scratch that. I didn't actually want to know how many girls he’d taken to this secret spot of his. It didn't matter. All that mattered was that I was the one he was taking there now. He carried me farther down the beach until we came upon a rocky alcove against a tall bluff near the water. Hudson put me down in a spot that was soft and sandy. The moment my feet touched the ground, Hudson began kissing me again, his touch rougher and more dominating than before. It was like something had snapped inside him and what control he had previously maintained was gone. My own desire burned hotter and hotter with each moment that passed, and I reached up to grip his shoulders, silently urging him to give me more. His hands moved from my waist to my face, trailing invisible lines across my skin, deepening the kiss as his fingers tangled in my hair. The world around us faded away, leaving only the sensation of his lips on mine, and the taste of salt in the air from the nearby ocean. I pressed myself against him, feeling every line and curve of his body fitting perfectly against mine. As our kiss grew more passionate, Hudson’s hands began to explore my body, touching me like he owned me. Without breaking our kiss, he pushed me up against the cool surface of the rock wall behind me. I was intoxicated by the heat between us, by the intensity of this moment. I wanted him with a hunger that surprised me, a craving that demanded to be sated. His fingers ran down my neck, my collarbone, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. My breath came in short gasps as he explored every inch of me, setting my skin ablaze with desire. When he finally pulled back slightly to look into my eyes, his gaze was filled with a raw hunger that mirrored my own. I drew him back to me, unable to resist the magnetic pull between us any longer. He moved his hands to my breasts, pushing my flimsy bikini top aside. The next thing I knew, he was sucking one of my nipples between his lips. I gasped and rested my head back against the smooth rock behind me. He moved to the other sensitive peak, and I was stunned at how good it felt. I’d never realized I was so sensitive. Hudson glanced up at me with a grin. “Want me to keep going?” he asked, with a teasing lilt in his voice. I bit my bottom lip and nodded. Chuckling softly, he kissed a trail down my chest and belly and dropped to his knees in front of me. I stared down at him as he slid my bikini bottoms down my legs. Instinctively, I pressed my thighs together. I’d never been in this situation with a man before, and I couldn’t quite fight my shyness. Hudson held my legs, looked up at me, and growled, “Open them.” His commanding tone electrified me, and I obeyed him without hesitation. I watched a sultry smirk cross his face. “Good girl.” There was something in the way he ordered me that made my knees go weak. Like some part of me that had always been in control and independent was longing to submit to a man. A man like him. Lowering his head between my legs, he dragged his tongue along the edges of my opening before he wrapped his lips around my clit, sucking hard. The sensation was something I had never felt before and as a rush of pleasure traveled across every nerve of my body, I cried out. My fingers tore at the locks of his hair, ensuring that he couldn’t get away. “Oh my God!” I exclaimed. “Hudson!” He didn’t give up. He licked my pussy with wild enthusiasm, his tongue driving me crazy. As one hand gripped my hip, pinning me in place, his other moved to my opening, slowly slipping a finger inside me without warning. A shriek escaped my throat as I shoved my fist into my mouth to muffle the noise. Hudson was unrelenting as he continued to pump his finger in and out of me while he ravaged my clit with so much hunger. “Holy shit!” I gasped. “Hudson, I’m going to cum…” My words seemed to stop him in his tracks as he lifted his head, stealing the pleasure away from me. I gasped. “Hudson, what are you…?” “Beg me,” he said, with an infuriating grin on his handsome face. “Seriously?” I moaned. He winked at me and kissed just above my clit, but didn’t go lower, which made me whimper, “Please, Hudson. Please make me cum.” With a satisfied grunt, he went back to work on my aching core. Fingers pumping, lips sucking, tongue lapping. It was so good, and I was so close. I just needed a little bit more. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and I begged again, “Hudson, please…please let me cum.” He grinned at me, a look of pure satisfaction, as his fingers continued to work me. “You want to cum, baby?” I nodded and pleaded, “Yes, God, yes!” “All right,” he snarled. “Cum for me. Come on this tongue and all over my mouth.” The moment I got his permission, my body exploded. My head was thrown back as a scream of ecstasy escaped my lips, my mind slowly praying that the crashing waves were able to drown out the sound of my pleasure. Otherwise, God knows who heard my shameless yells. He drew my orgasm out until it was almost unbearable, but before I could say anything, he stood and cupped my ass, lifting me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He pressed my back to the side of the rocky bluff as his fingers dug into my skin. The way in which he manhandled me as if I weighed no more than a leaf caused my heart to race with anticipation. “You ready?” he asked with a growl. “Yes,” I replied breathlessly and without hesitation, my mind a racing stream of what ifs, as I realized that in only a moment I wouldn’t be the virgin girl I once was, but a woman that had finally experienced a taste of freedom I had longed for. And with a total stranger. He paused and pulled a condom from the pocket of his trunks. I furrowed my brow. “Have you had that the whole time?” I asked. He grinned and shrugged. “And you thought you were going to hook up with a random woman?” I teased. He chuckled. “I wanted to be prepared for any possibility. I'm a man who doesn't like surprises.” He maneuvered us so that he could put the condom on. Lining himself up with me, he paused. "Are you sure?" I felt him lining his cock on my entrance. "Stop talking and fuck me already!" Smiling, "I love your aggressiveness." He pushed into me in one swift, hard motion.HUDSON'S POV:Since meeting Madison, life hadn't been the same. Even though it had only been a few days, I honestly felt like I'd known her all my life. She had been the most exciting addition to my life in a long time. Every waking moment beside her felt like a gift.There was something pure about her, something beyond the fact that I'd been her first, that silenced every other chaotic part of my life. When I was with her, I almost didn't want the day to end. Somehow, the hours flew by whenever I was around her.She was interesting. Easy to talk to. Relaxing to be around. Very intelligent. And funny. I wanted to be near her all the time. Even when I had work to focus on, I hated being away from her even for a moment. I'd never found anyone so irresistible, and I couldn't explain why she affected me differently from every other woman I'd been with.By the third day, Owen had started grumbling whenever I told him I had plans with Madison, reminding me of all the talk I'd done about thi
HARPER'S POV: I bit back my yelp of pain as he unknowingly ripped through my virginity. I didn’t want him to know, though. I didn’t want him to treat me any differently than he would any other one-night stand. And most importantly, I didn't want him to stop. “You feel amazing,” he groaned, the delight in his voice making me smile. His head rested on my shoulder, his breaths coming out in heavy pants as he attempted to hold on to the last strings of control. Grunting, he sank all the way into me. Suddenly, he stopped, hissing. “Madison, are... are you a virgin?” He pulled back slightly, and even in the darkness, I could feel his intense stare. Shit. I could lie to him. Or tell him the truth and risk making him stop. My heart hammered as I tried to decide what I owed him. “Y...yes,” I stuttered. “And you didn’t fucking tell me?” “It didn’t matter. I just want to get fucked. Why are you bitching about it?” I was shocked at my total boldness. I was a shy person on any other day. M

HARPER'S POV:Hudson stood as we approached, a charming smile tugging at the corners of his lips."Ladies," he greeted us collectively, his gaze lingering on me for a beat longer than the others. "Glad you could join us. I'm Hudson."Mila took the lead, introducing herself and the others with her usual confidence, putting everyone immediately at ease.Oasis winked at Owen, who raised an eyebrow in amusement, and Nivea struck up a casual conversation with Hudson about the beautiful view from the resort.***As the evening wore on, drinks flowed freely and laughter filled the air.I found myself drawn to Hudson, our conversations becoming more intimate, though I was careful not to give away too many details about my life.There was a magnetic pull between us I couldn't explain. Every conversation pulled me a little closer, and I hated how quickly I was beginning to look for him whenever someone else spoke.We all eventually made our way to the Italian restaurant inside the resort for di
HARPER'S POV: I wasn't sure why I couldn't look away from him. Even when our eyes locked, I should've looked away but I kept gawking. Arriving at the pool with my girls, I scanned around just to take in the environment. I wasn't at that point thinking to meet the potential "target" to get the job done. There he was. Easily the best-looking man by the pool. I didn't know why my attention kept returning to him. It was ridiculous. And a little exciting. Relaxing on a lounge chair, his ripped, Hercules-like body on full display, he looked like he had been perfectly moulded in a laboratory, every inch of him meticulously crafted and meant for one purpose, seduction. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, I could tell he was staring right back at me. Why couldn't I look away? “Harper? You good?” Mila suddenly asked, turning to look at me. I blinked and finally managed to jerk my gaze away from the sexy mountain of a man, but it was a little too late. While Nivea and Oasis were busy s
HUDSON'S POV:THE HOT LAS VEGAS sun beat down on the crowded pool area, cooking the bodies standing around or splashing in the pool without mercy. Most people here weren't sober and so they didn't care about that.I took a sip of my Bourbon on ice, set my glass down, and leaned farther back in the lounge chair. A cannonball landed somewhere to my left, sending a wave across the pool that rocked an inflatable flamingo carrying a laughing couple. Everyone around me seemed determined to enjoy themselves.I wasn't.“Hey, none of that,” Owen said. “We're on vacation. Be excited.”I glanced over at the lounge chair next to mine, where my hulking best friend and co-founder was sprawled out. He wasn't looking at me, and for all I knew, he was falling asleep behind those dark sunglasses of his.“You know it's killing me that we're lazing around,” I complained. “The last thing I need is your whining voice in my ear. We should be working. You know, WORKING!""Come on, Hudson. All that working an
