A steamy, high-stakes age gap romance with a guaranteed HEA.
I won the golden egg prize.
A luxury cruise.
A booking error pairs me with him.
I walk into my cabin—and freeze.
Bare feet. Black briefs. No shirt.
He smiles.
Calm like nothing surprises him.
He looks at me like I’m the best part of the room.
And I start to forget this isn’t what I planned.
The nights stretch.
The bed gets smaller.
The space between us disappears.
“It’s only temporary” becomes permission to embrace the moment.
The cruise becomes a temptation engine.
Slow dances become foreplay.
Village walking tours draw us into alcoves for fleeting, evocative encounters.
A reserved cabana becomes ours—no restraints, no limits.
Desire builds in public, detonates in private.
This was supposed to be temporary.
This was supposed to stay on the ship.
And I don’t know what scares me more—
losing him when this ends… or realizing it won’t.
