“Are your nipples sore? I’ll be gentle.” He bent to lick one, leaving it wet and tightening as the breeze from the open door washed across it. “I thought we had both used up our capacity for sexual hunger last night.” He cupped and weighed her breast in his hot palm. “But I’m suddenly starving. Are you sure you want this?”
“Always,” she admitted on a pang of distress, then rallied, trying to save face. “Why? Afraid you can’t keep up with me?”
She tightened her arms around his neck, trying to mash herself against him. She felt him stiffen before he made a noise that was a scoff and a scold.
“Glikia mou, you know your pleasure is my pleasure. I’ll always deliver as much as I possibly can.” He scooped her up, so her legs instinctually wrapped his waist. “Until you beg me to stop.”
As he took a few steps, his erection shifted against the naked flesh that was still tender from their energetic lovemaking last night.
Then she was falling, clasping in panic, but he was catching her before setting her on the settee that ran beneath the windows.
One lingering kiss on her lips was all he gave her before he knelt and arranged her so he could bend and anoint her most intimate flesh. He rubbed his freshly shaved cheeks against her inner thighs and blew softly on her sensitized mound and tasted her in a lazy and oh, so tender fashion.
“Rafael,” she moaned.
“What do you need, louloudi mou? Stop?”
“No,” she moaned, feeling as though she would burst. “Please don’t stop.”
He growled out a noise of satisfaction and set to pleasuring her, refusing to rush, making her arch and sob and dig her heel into his back.
It was infuriating to be this helpless to him, but it was such a wondrous trap to be held in. When they were like this, all her anguish and regret fell away. She was nothing but a single point of pleasure, needing nothing beyond the continuation of these incredible ripples of sensation.
There was something lonely and solitary in this particular moment, though. She wanted him to be as caught up as she was, thrusting into her with abandon. The longer he pleasured her, the more she felt herself slipping away. He was stealing pieces of her soul, one by one.
“I want you inside me.” She caught a handful of his hair, but he only hugged her thighs in his strong arms and pressed his tongue to that bundle of nerves, so swollen and throbbing.
Climax twisted through her abdomen. A ball of joy detonated within her, sending shock waves of ecstasy through her limbs.
He lightened up, but didn’t let up, continuing to pleasure her through the peak and into the trembling aftermath.
Her belly was still quivering and her heart rate still uneven when he rose to stand over her, fully hard with arousal, gaze taking in her helpless sprawl.
She didn’t even have the strength to reach out and grip him in her fist, but he didn’t seem to expect it. He trailed his fingers from her navel to run a caressing knuckle along the underside of her breast, then brushed a tendril of hair from her cheek.
“Thank you. I enjoyed that.” He bent to retrieve his towel.
A sob of disbelief hit her throat. “Don’t you want to...?” Take me.
“Later. Gio is expecting me.” He slid a glance to the clock on the night table as he rewrapped the towel around his hips. “I’ll cancel your breakfast meeting so you can sleep.”
“No.” She sat up, mind still scattered.
“Why not? It’s not important.”
He said it very casually, but the full weight of his attention zeroed in on her.
Oh, you bastard, she thought.
This whole thing was a deliberate attempt to disconcert her. Which she would have found contemptible if she hadn’t tried it first and failed.
“I need something to think about beyond my own inadequacy.” She stood to retie her kimono.
“Stop that,” he ordered. “It’s not helpful to blame yourself. I don’t blame you.”
“Goodness, if you don’t blame me, then I shouldn’t dare, should I?” She knew that would get a rise out of him. That’s why she’d said it.
They glared at one another, turning into the worst pair of bickering fools. If she had seen anyone else behaving this way, she would have said, Get a divorce, already.
