As he had pulled back, rising quickly from her and the bed, she had blinked in shock and confusion, seeing him stood with his back to her, his hands on his hips as he had muttered in Greek, his voice full of frustration and anger.
“No…no…this will not happen” he had eventually bitten out before finally turning to face Mina, who had managed to pull herself back into a sitting position, her hair still mussed, her lips red from their kiss, her beautiful eyes full of so many different emotions.
His voice had been angry, accusing as he had rounded on her.
“I know what you are up to Mina, and do not believe me as stupid as my stepfather. I have no intention of inheriting his daughter as my mistress. That seems to be the way the women in your family work, but I am not about to become your next meal ticket”.
Staring back at him with complete disbelief on her face, Mina had leapt to her feet, her hands balled, fury pushing the pain of loss from her.
“You arrogant egotistical jerk” she had cried at him, her eyes now full of an anger which burned so brightly in her small face.
“How…how dare you! I want nothing to do with you or your entire damn family. You kissed me…I didn’t ask you to” seeing as he had given a small pfft noise, as he had moved closer to her “Yes very clever, the poor distressed damsel act, what else was I to do?”.
Looking at him with complete disbelief she had glared at the man before her, her body still tingling from his kiss.
“My God Nikos, it really, really eats you up that you are attracted to the daughter of a man you so despised doesn’t it?”
He had frowned, seeing as she had raised her chin defiantly at him.
“Well that is your problem not mine, I will be out of your hair soon enough”.
A shadow of pain crossing her eyes as her voice had broken slightly, her anger the only thing keeping the tears from once more sliding down her face “so just stay the hell away from me”.
With that Mina had turned from him, as her hands had moved protectively around herself feeling the tears once more rising to her eyes, her new found bravado slipping as the conflicting emotions of fear and sorrow and anger had washed over her.
For several seconds there had been silence, before in a softer quieter voice he had spoken “So what do we do about this attraction we have Mina?”
Giving a small half-laugh full of no mirth she had raised her head to stop the tears spilling over “Your problem Nikos…not mine. I want nothing to do with you. Now just leave.”
His hands on her shoulder turning her around had been firm, and his eyes had blazed down at her full of such fire.
“Liar”
He had spoken, as his mouth had once more descended to take her lips, his hands moving around her waist to haul her hard up against him. Mina had wanted to fight him, to push him from her, but the moment their bodies touched she had been lost, her arms flying around his neck to deepen the kiss.
With a hunger that was frightening with its intensity she had pushed her body harder against him hearing the small masculine growl and feeling the hardened bulge of him against her body making the very blood within her veins sizzle with a wanton need for this man. He in turn had moved his hands to cup her small face, ensuring that her mouth did not escape him as he had plundered its softness his tongue sliding against hers as she had quivered and shuddered with the searing heat filling her.
Gripping the small summer dress she wore he had pulled it up and over her head in one sure action, Mina gasping in surprise, Nikos cradling the back of her head in his hands her hair falling silkily through his fingers, as he had kissed her again this time moving her backwards with him. The feel of the bed against the back of her legs had been almost a relief, her legs shaking so badly with the tremors which ran through her. Bending down he had lifted her against himself, before throwing her bodily onto the soft mattress, Mina panting seeing as he had towered over her, his eyes so dark so dangerous sliding over her body. Her breasts had tightened under his scrutiny as she had held his gaze, the dusky nipples pushing erotically against the wispy lace of her bra.
“My God you are beautiful”
He had whispered hoarsely as shivering she had watched as he had pulled off his t-shirt, her eyes drinking in the perfectly toned and tanned body the groan rising softly to her mouth as his hands had flipped the belt he wore till it hung loose. Her head had screamed at her to get away, to stop what was happening as her body the worst of traitors had lain still watching with fascination as he had slid alongside her, once more finding her mouth and kissing her.
With shaking hands her fingers had traced along his broad shoulders moving down his hair splattered chest his mouth moving down to rain soft kisses down her neck, Mina whimpering as he had moved to pull the lace aside, his mouth covering one hardened nipple, her back arching against him at the pleasure that flooded through her.
