“Oh, Liam.”
The need in her voice turned his blood to liquid fire. He thrust deeper and faster. Driving into her again and again.
His cock ached with the need to fill her with his seed.
“I’m so close,” she moaned.
He found her clit and stroked it as he continued to jackhammer into her. Her voice rose to a high trill, then he saw it. The bliss on her face as an orgasm washed over her.
She moaned continuously as he pumped into her, her face glowing with ethereal beauty.
“You are so fucking beautiful,” he grated, his own pleasure rising to a crest.
He nipped her neck and her waning pleasure spiked again.
Then the tension that was coiled deep in his groin released and an intense, exhilarating pulse of pure delight surged through him. He groaned, erupting into her, shuddering as he shot to ecstatic heights.

Liam drew Abi close to him, listening to her soft breathing as they lay in bed together.
After their spectacular lovemaking where he’d taken her against the wall in a wild burst of carnal need, Abi had gone out for a walk.
That was her excuse to leave, but he knew she wanted to go down and talk to Del, who had been left wondering and worrying about Liam’s reaction. He didn’t know what she’d told him.
Probably nothing but reassuring comments that things were fine between them. She probably didn’t want to tell her lover that her husband had just fucked her hard against the wall after they’d both gotten turned on thinking about him watching her get fucked by another man. Maybe even sharing her with him.
He kissed the top of her head, breathing in the delicate floral scent of her hair.
God, he loved this woman.
His cock swelled as he remembered watching Del fucking her in the shower. Her gaze on Liam the whole time.
The glass had been a barrier between him. He’d been on the outside looking in. Just like he was in the relationship between the three of them now. Abi had agreed to spend this time with him, but after her comments this morning … about love not being enough … he knew in his heart he’d probably lost her for good.
So the question was, did he spend the next few weeks relishing his time with her, keeping Del at as much of a distance as he could, because he knew that his relationship with Abi would be over after this?
Or was there a way he could show Abi that the three of them together made some kind of sense?

Liam opened his eyes to sunlight streaming across the bed. He was flat on his back and Abi was nowhere to be seen.
He gazed at the large window to see nature’s masterpiece beyond. Vibrant golden-washed clouds streaking low across a sky of pink, mauve, and blue. The sun a blazing yellow fireball gently kissing the horizon, its golden light reflected in a glittering band across the ocean from horizon to shore. The white sand of the beach bathed in the wondrous colors.
His heart ached. This was exactly the kind of thing he wanted with Abi. To wake up and hold her in his arms while they enjoyed a beautiful morning in paradise. Whether that paradise was a gorgeous sunrise at a tropical resort, waking up to sweet lovemaking in their own bed in the home they shared, or getting up to change diapers and calm their crying child before they started the day together.
Being with Abi was his paradise.
And he’d be damned if he’d give up on it yet.
He pushed back the covers and got out of bed, then showered and dressed in swim trunks and a casual shirt in soft white cotton. He went downstairs and headed out to the patio. Abi and Del were sitting on lounge chairs gazing at the spectacular sky. The sun was higher now and the brilliant-colored clouds were fading to a soft white.
The two of them looked so comfortable and relaxed. His jaw twitched. Like a happy couple.
Abi glanced around and saw him. When she smiled at him, it felt like the sun was rising all over again.
“Good morning,” she said. “Breakfast is ready to be served if you’re hungry.”
“Sounds good.” He headed for the patio table, already set with plates, stemmed glasses for juice, and coffee cups. He sat down as Abi and Del walked to the table to join him.
Abi was stunning in her bikini top and the long, flowing skirt wrapped around her waist. When she reached the table, she rested her hand on his shoulder, then leaned in and kissed his cheek. His heart thumped at the casual yet sweetly intimate gesture.
She picked up the coffee thermos from the table and poured him a cup, then turned to Del.
“Coffee?” she asked.
“That would be great,” Del said.
Liam couldn’t help noticing the way Del looked at her. A light glowed in his eyes that left no doubt about his feelings for her.
Fuck, why did this whole thing have to be so complicated?
Abi sat in the chair between Liam and Del as a staff member brought out a tray with cinnamon French toast and set a plate in front of each of them, then set a platter of fresh fruit on the table.
“Did your meeting go well yesterday?” Abi asked.
He engaged in small talk with her about the progress of the deal. Del asked some polite questions, too, but clearly he was uncomfortable after yesterday’s incident.
Once breakfast was done and the staff had cleared away the dishes, Liam stood up and took Abi’s hand.
“Come in the pool with me,” he said. At her hesitation, he laughed. “Don’t worry. I’m not suggesting a strenuous swim right after eating. We can relax in the shallow area.”
The pool had a Baja shelf, where the bottom of the pool formed a shallow shelf with water about ten inches deep, which curved in a smooth S-shape at the edge, forming a contoured
