“No,” I hissed and wiggled out of his hold, but he gripped me tighter, moving me more over his chest. “Let me go.”
“What happened to the woman who clung to me all night?”
“She got some sleep and came to her senses.”
He raised his brow and stiffened beneath me, his muscles flexing tight. “What do you mean you came to your senses? I hope you’re not reneging on our deal?”
As much as I wanted to say yes, I was, that I wouldn’t be blackmailed into something, I knew Carl wasn’t stable and I didn’t want to anger him or risk not getting free. Giving in, I let my body go lax against him. “No, I’m not reneging. I said I would give our relationship a chance, and I will.”
His body relaxed. “Kiss me.”
“Say what now?” I may have been shocked at what he asked, but my damn body was very happy. Warmth seeped through me and I fought to contain the shiver at the thought of touching his lips. I wondered if he tasted as good as he smelled. I may have been angry and annoyed that I’d been kidnapped, but since the moment I’d first seen him, I’d had this strange attraction to him.
“Kiss me to prove you’re not reneging.” He wound a hand in my hair and pulled me down to him.
My lips mere inches from his, I slipped my tongue out and wet my lips. I could do this. It was only a kiss. My body trembled and I fought to keep myself under control as I gently brushed my lips over his and eased away.
Carl’s grip in my hair tightened and he yanked me back down. “That was not a kiss. This is a kiss.” His mouth molded to mine as his fingers trailed down my back. His tongue traced the seam of my lips before seeking entry. I opened and met him, tangling our tongues together. The pit of my stomach swirled wildly and tingles started at the tips of my toes and worked upward, getting hotter. What had this man done to me? What was happening to me?
I started grinding myself against him seeking more. His fingers dug into my arse. If we continued like this I was going to come. Damn he was good. The thin fabric of his boxers and my now wet panties added to the delicious sensations heating me.
Carl eased to a sitting position never breaking the carnal kiss. My fingers bit into his skin. I rubbed myself against him frantically searching for my high. I was so close.
His lips left mine and a chuckle that had his body vibrating beneath me, had me almost plastering my mouth back to his, eager for more. “I see you feel the connection between us too.” He touched my trembling lips with one finger.
My tongue slipped out and wrapped around his digit. Argh, what the hell was I doing?
“Mmm, I’d stop that. Otherwise you’ll find I won’t hold back and these—” His fingers slipped under my bra strap and panties. “Will be off and I’ll—” His hand slid down and his fingers parted my folds. “Taste and devour your body until you’re begging for me to bury myself deep within you.” His fingers delved into my pussy.
Closing my eyes, I fought with my body to come to my senses. I was hot, horny and the ache I felt deepened. This man was my kryptonite. I thought I’d been fine without a man for close to ten years, but maybe that was why I was finding it so hard to resist Carl. Oh God, my mother was right. My body was so deprived of attention it was willing to take anyone. At the thought of my mother being right, I snapped and grabbed his hands, yanking them away and scrambled of the bed.
His chuckle turned into a deep belly laugh. “Did I touch on a sore point?”
Grrr, what a wanker. Crossing my arms over my chest I glared at Carl. “No. I’m going to get a shower. When I get out I expect you ready to go. I want to see my mother.”
Carl raised his hands in the air in surrender. “Sure. Whatever you want honey.” He lowered his hands and inched closer to the edge of the bed. “I’m happy to join you. I can help wash all those hard to reach places.” He winked at me and then smiled, and bloody hell his dimples popped, my body melting at the sight. I took a step toward him and shivered at the heat that built within.
Oh for fuck’s sake, what was wrong with me? I shook my head, hoping to get rid of whatever spell I was under. “No. You just stay where you are.”
His laughter didn’t help. The deep sensual sound had my pussy throbbing. “I thought you wanted me to get up and get ready so we can go visit your mother.” He shrugged. “I’m happy to stay here and wait for you.”
I looked around the room for something to throw at the arrogant swine. He knew what I meant, he was deliberately riling me up. I picked up an elephant ornament off the chest of drawers and threw it at him. The arse ducked and laughed harder. Turning, I stormed into the bathroom slamming the door and locking it. I could hear his laughter and it only pissed me off more, but my body was on damn fire.
