Fixing him with eyes which contained both embarrassment and anger she raised her small chin. “He is a doctor...and a good man...are you a good man Darius? There was a time that I thought you were” Her soft words hit him hard, his eyes losing the teasing light and becoming dark and dangerous. “Is that a fact little Miss Balfour? So good a man you fired me as a thief?”
The words hung over them as they stared at the other, his look cold, hers defiant, Darius finally moved closer to her. “Well the past is the past is it not Sara...but you have your future to worry about...and that of your family. So let me be very clear. The only offer on the table is the one which I made you yesterday. So what is it to be...you in my bed or your sister in prison?”
Sara dropped her look from his; her small shoulders slumped forward as she gave a defeated nod of her head. “You win ...but I have a proviso of my own”, her voice was soft as he raised an eyebrow. “Oh...such as?” Unaware as her fingers pulled at each other she lifted her chin once again. “I need a timeframe...I can’t live with ‘until I get bored with you’...I need a definite time scale”
Darius watched her for a few seconds, seeing an almost panicked expression in her eyes. “OK”, he finally replied, “I leave here to return to Italy in two weeks...so for the time I am here you will remain my companion. Although I still reserve the right to kick you out sooner if I want to”
To his surprise, rather than the anger he expected she seemed relieved, giving him a short nod, Darius wondering why the time had been so important to her. “While we are on the subject of provisos...I too have some”, Sara silently nodding as he moved even closer to her. “I expect complete obedience from you. If I tell you to be somewhere then you go there. If I tell you to go at a certain time then you are not late...understand?”
With a sardonic twist of her lips she gave a nod, her hand gesturing a salute to him. “Yes Sir” His lip twitched at her impudence. “Oh and one final and most important thing. I expect complete honesty. If I ask you something I expect both an answer and the complete truth from you” At this, she frowned, her look concerned, “You expect me to answer any personal questions you might have...to give up any and all secrets I have?” her tone disbelieving as he gave an arrogant return smile, his voice mocking.
“Of course when you put it like that that seems unfair...my apologies. I tell you what Sara. You can have one secret...one thing that you don’t have to tell me about...but only one”, his tone mocking as he stood dominantly over her. She frowned before raising her eyes, her head nodding seriously back, the smile leaving his lips as she spoke so quietly, “Done”
Darius now wished that he had not given her the one concession, for the first time feeling that he missed something very important. With a sigh and a calming breath Sara realised that the deal was struck and that she had promised to be the sex toy of a man she hardly knew, a man who thought the worst of her, for possibly the next two weeks, her stomach churning alarmingly.
“So...how does this work...do we strip off and have at it on your desk and then you can lock me up in my own little room somewhere till needed again?” She tried to keep her voice light, but the quiver could be heard by them both. His deep laugh sent strange shivers down her spine as he shook his head.
“You will stay with me for as long as I want you, and will accompany me to some engagements which I have coming up as my ‘companion’. In the meantime I am sure we can ensure that you are at least comfortable”, the words spoken with innuendo. Sara knew that he would take pleasure in parading her as his latest acquisition to the entire crowd whom her mother held in such high esteem. She however, cared little for their opinions of her, her reputation already tarnished by lies, a small self-deprecating curve of her lip formed as she thought, “What was one more?”
Turning, she caught him watching her intently, feeling as the small blush once more dusted her smooth cheeks. “I do think that we should make sure of one thing”, he said softly, before moving forward and cupping her cheeks in his hands, he dropped his mouth to kiss her. As the previous night, the moment his lips touched hers, she responded with a need that was both unfamiliar and shocking to her, her hands fanning softly by her side for a few seconds before finally resting gently on his hips, this smallest of touches causing him to jump slightly, his kiss deepening as he pulled her in even harder against his body.
As passion erupted between the two his arms wrapped around Sara, she unaware as she writhed against him, their tongues seeking and demanding the other. As his thumb gently ran along the tip of her nipple she felt the jolt of white searing heat shoot through her quivering body and pool low in her groin, a moan escaping her lips.#p#分页标题#e#
