Green eyes full of lust traveled to her swollen nipples. He licked his lips, and she nearly cried out in euphoria.

She arched her back and lowered her tone. “Is this the treasure you seek, pirate?” God, she hardly recognized her voice.

The heated look in his eyes excited and frightened her at once. “Perhaps,” he murmured, dipping his head. He cupped her breasts in his palms and lifted them higher, giving his mouth easier access. He pulled one breast into his mouth. Oh God, his lips felt like fire on her skin. His tongue made a slow pass over her nipples. Then he drew them in for a more thorough taste, sucking and kissing until she thought she’d died and gone to heaven. Beneath his expert ministrations her sex quaked, and her nipples throbbed in heavenly bliss.

She angled her chin and worked to find her voice. “Well, pirate, have you found your treasure.”

After his mouth had had its fill, he inched back and met her glance. His eyes flared with heat. “It is close but not the treasure you are still keeping from me.”

She starched her spine. “As I said, I know of no such treasure.”

He glanced the length of her, letting his gaze linger between the apex of her thighs. “Perhaps you are hiding it elsewhere.” His dark tone excited her.

Brianna sucked in air. “Perhaps you are mistaken.”

“Then let’s find out.” There was a challenge in his voice. He pressed his sword between her breasts and trailed it over her skin until it touched the silky costume at her hips. “Remove your clothes.”

She angled her chin and thinned her lips. “I most certainly will not.”

“Then you leave me no choice.” With a quick swipe he sliced her dress down the center, all the way from her hips to her ankles. It fell from her body and landed in a puddle at her feet.

Standing before him in nothing but her silky bikini panties, panties that were drenched in arousal, she gasped and shivered with pleasure.
