She swam out and to where he stood, the water depth reaching just below his shoulders. He held her slick body against his and kissed her deeply. “Here’s my plan…let’s swim a little, then go back to our villa and make love…then take a nap before we meet the crew for dinner. Sound good to you?”
“Si. Heavenly. Thank you for bringing me here. It is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.”
“And the most romantic,” Tyler added. “Let me carry you on my back. I want to feel your body against mine.”
He faced away and she wrapped her thighs around his waist holding onto his broad shoulders as he hooked his arms under her thighs. She licked the water from his back, tasting salt, then bit him.
“Ouch! You and those teeth.”
“I can’t help it.”
“I feel like I’m going with Bella Swan from Twilight.”
“Very funny Edward,” she said. He laughed and the sound filled her with pleasure. It was low and warm and always made her want to hear more of it.
“This is a life I can sink my teeth into,” she said, tongue in cheek.
“I swear, straight off the cob,” he said, laughing again. Malena smiled. Mission accomplished.

Author’s Note
Thank you for reading A Billionaire’s Christmas. It was truly a joy to write. I told my editor April, that I felt sad when I typed the final page. It felt like I was moving away and leaving good friends behind. However, I still feel like Tyler has more story to tell… so stay tuned. For now, though, I hope your holidays are filled with joy and love.
