Voyage of Desire
The salt air clung to Marta’s skin, mixing with the heady scent of anticipation. As she stood on the iron landing of the ship, gazing out at the endless blue horizon, she felt a sudden warmth against her back. Maik’s voice was a low, velvet rasp in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. “You look spectacular, Marta,” he whispered, his breath hot against her neck.
Marta shifted, the thin fabric of her dress clinging to her curves. She felt exposed, yet the way Maik looked at her—with a hunger that bordered on desperation—made her feel more alive than she had in years. He had a way of reigniting a fire within her that she thought had long since gone cold. When he guided her back to the cabin, the tension between them was a living thing, vibrating in the narrow hallway.
The moment the door closed, Maik pulled her into a fierce embrace. He pressed her against the mahogany wall, his lips finding hers in a kiss that tasted of salt and longing. Marta gasped, her hands tangling in his hair, pulling him closer as the ship swayed gently beneath them, mirroring the rhythmic pull of their desire.
