Juhi realized this was probably the craziest thing she'd done in her life, but she was so tired of trying to keep her personal and public lives separate. She'd never been able to act like this with her husband, he would have found it altogether too shocking. With Pyrrhus, he didn't know her life story or who she was outside of this damned ship. She didn't have to be the shy wife. Now she was determined to be who she thought she was.
She moaned softly as he pulled her closer, surprised to find the reaction she had created in Pyrrhus. To think of herself as anything beyond work, as a passionate woman who gets what she wants, was unfamiliar but exciting.
"Oh my," Juhi said in a rough whisper, glancing up at him with a mischievous grin. She sat the flowers down on the bench with her purse beside them and ran her hands over his hips, letting her fingertips dip down around his hipbones and tease what she found there. Keeping her body close to his, she watched his lower body with an almost childlike fascination. Before it had been secretive, under the covers, quiet and quick. She was glad that Pyrrhus wasn't ashamed of his body, because it made her more comfortable with her own.
