Dani's eyes travelled up the broad expanse of his chest to meet his piercing gaze. Her mouth went dry at the barely restrained hunger she saw there.
"I... what are you doing here?" she managed to stammer, acutely aware of how close they were standing, of his hands still on her arms.
Zack's eyes raked over her, lingering on the way the dress clung to her curves. "I think the better question is, where were you going, dressed like that?"
There was a dangerous edge to his voice that sent a shiver down Dani's spine. She lifted her chin defiantly, refusing to be cowed.
"Out," she said simply. "Now if you'll excuse me..."
She tried to step around him, but Zack's grip tightened, pulling her flush against his body. Dani gasped at the contact, her body instantly reacting to his proximity. She could feel the heat radiating off him, smell the faint traces of his cologne mixed with something uniquely Zack.
"Let go of me," she said, but there was no real force behind the words. Her traitorous body leaned into him, craving more contact.
Zack's eyes darkened as he gazed down at her, one hand sliding to the small of her back while the other cupped her face. "You know I can't do that, Dani," he murmured, his thumb tracing her lower lip. "Not when we’ve both been radiating lust all day long. Not when you're looking at me like that."
"Like what?" Dani breathed, her resolve crumbling with each passing second.
"Like you want me to fuck you against this door."
A whimper escaped her at his blunt words. God, she'd missed this - missed him. The way he could set her body on fire with just a look, a touch.
"Tell me to leave," Zack said, his lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you don't want this, and I'll go."
Dani knew she should. Knew she should push him away, stick to her resolve. But the feeling of his body against hers, the promise of pleasure in his eyes, the knowledge that hewasn’t married, was too much to resist. With a soft moan of surrender, Dani pressed herself closer, tilting her head up in silent invitation.
It was just sex, she told herself. Awesome, kinky, amazing sex. The best she’d ever had. She’d had that with him for an entire year; she could do it again for the short time he was on the island. No harm, no foul. Just two kinky people scening together. Better the devil she knew, surely? And shedidknow how good he was when it came to orgasms.
Zack needed no further encouragement. His mouth crashed down on hers, hungry and demanding. Dani melted into the kiss, her arms winding around his neck as she opened to him. Their tongues tangled in a sensual dance, rekindling the fire that had always burned so brightly between them.
Without breaking the kiss, Zack maneuvered them fully into the cabana, kicking the door shut behind him. His hands roamed her body, like he was desperately relearning every curve and dip. When he cupped her breasts through the thin material of her dress, Dani arched into his touch with a gasp.
"God, I've missed you," Zack growled against her lips as he ground his hardness into her softness. He trailed hot, open-mouthed kisses along her jaw and down her neck, finding that sensitive spot just below her ear that always drove her wild.
She could totally do this, Dani told herself once again. She could take everything Zack wanted to give her, enjoy him to thefull. And then he’d be gone so she wouldn't have to worry about things getting out of hand.
That’s what she told herself anyway. And right now, the way he was making her feel, she couldn’t bring herself to care about the little whisper inside her head advocating caution.

When Zack had tracked down Dani’s cabana and sought her out, he really hadn’t planned on sex… he wasn’t sure if he’d had any kind of plan, if he were honest. He’d just wanted to see her. Talk to her. Try to get past the awkwardness while they had to work together. Something to try and maintain the status quo.
But now? The way she felt in his arms, all eager and compliant… Well, he wasn’t gentleman enough to turn her down. It was everything he wanted, and it was his opportunity to set things right with her.
Nothing’s changed.
Fuck that little voice of conscience inside his head. He shut that bastard down. He’d explain everything properly. Even if he had to tie her down to do so. She’d understand.
Wouldn’t she?
Dani moaned beneath his touch and any and all misgivings flew from his head.
Zack's hands roamed over Dani's beautiful body, reacquainting himself with every tantalizing dip and swell. She arched into his touch, her breathy sighs spurring him on. Her cabana layout was the same as his, and he backed her toward thebedroom, his lips never leaving hers as they stumbled into the room.
"God, I've missed you," Zack growled, nipping at her collarbone. “Missed us.”
Dani's fingers threaded through his hair, tugging him closer. "Show me," she demanded. “I want to feel it all. It’s been so long!”
Did she mean so long since she’d been with him, or that it had been a while in general? The thought of her with another man had him growling into her neck. The idea just hit him wrong. She washis.
