“I know that it will be OK…because Yanis, Theresa, Nikos and me will love you”.
Looking over at Yanis who had grinned at her cute words he had nodded in agreement. Smiling warmly she had squeezed the little girl’s hand, so touched with her words, before pulling her in for a cuddle, Dina gently patting her back in the way adults did to upset children, Mina feeling such love for the child filling her.
“Well I am really glad that I have all of you” she had smiled, silently wishing that one of those named could love her the way she loved him, but knowing that he never could. With that the three had sat back silently, content to watch the sunset, the end of yet another day, the end of one of the saddest so far in her life, her mother’s face filling her thoughts.
Walking back into his villa that night Nikos had sworn softly with how silent and dark the house was. The emergency had taken much longer to resolve than he had anticipated, angry that of all days it had been that one, knowing that he had wanted to be there for Mina. Moving into the study, he had poured himself a small drink, allowing his body to unwind after the strenuous day and constant meetings.
His thoughts had once more moved to Mina, Nikos frowning into his drink. He had been relieved when she had agreed to move into his room, but her mention once more of leaving the following week was unsettling, this realisation making his brows knit even tighter together. She fascinated him. He kept waiting for her to be the person he had thought her to be, but with each day he had found himself wanting her more. The memory of their lovemaking had caused his body to jump with the raw need for her, once more knowing that no other woman had ever raised him so high.
Absently running his thumb along the lip of the glass, he had thought about her, Claire’s words once more coming to his mind that she was born to be a mistress, Nikos staring thoughtfully at the fireplace. Would it be so very bad to have her as his mistress, he wanted her and she him, shivering gently he had known that the way they had reacted to each other had been real. Nobody could fake that kind of fire. Taking a final sip he had stood determinedly, perhaps a suitable arrangement would not be so bad after all.
Mina had slept fitfully, not able to forget the events of the day. She had finally cried herself to sleep, but her dreams were full of nightmares of finding her mother dead and standing by her coffin. Her features were drawn and she had whimpered pitifully. Nikos sliding into the bed beside her had watched, seeing the myriad of emotions running across her beautiful face. Pulling her against his stomach his arms had moved to hold her as he had whispered gently to her
“I’m here Mina” surprised as she had given a soft sigh whispering his name in return as her body had relaxed against him. As he had held her she had slipped into a more peaceful sleep, now her dreams full of being in Nikos’ arms and of being cradled protectively by the man she loved.
Blinking, Mina had woke, the room full of grey light as the sun had slowly started to rise banishing the night once more. Shifting slightly she had felt herself held securely, her head moving to see Nikos still deeply asleep beside her, his breaths soft and even his face so peaceful. Lifting his arm to slide free from him, he had started, his eyes flying open as she had looked apologetically back at him.
“Sorry…go back to sleep” her soft voice making him smile warmly.
“Never be sorry, Cara” he had muttered gently, his hands wrapping more tightly around her, hauling her in even harder against him as she had given a small squeal of surprise. She had felt the way his erection had twitched against her back, Mina’s own body tightening in response as she had turned in his embrace, both looking at the other. As his eyes had scanned down her face, she had given a soft groan.
“You must be exhausted” she had murmured, her fingers moving to run through his hair.
“Sleep a little longer…I need a shower”.
Nodding softly he had released her, Mina feeling a small twinge of disappointment as she had moved into the large opulent bathroom. Stepping under the needles of water she had heard him move into the room also, smiling seductively at her as he had slipped into the shower with her.
“I considered your proposal…and I have one of my own”.
Mina laughing, recognising the words he had used the day he had blackmailed her to reveal her true identity. Chuckling she had let him take her into his arms.
“Mmmm do you now, well perhaps we can come to some arrangement” her eyes flashing wickedly at him, as with a low rumble of laughter his mouth had dropped to kiss her. The kiss was dynamite and both had erupted like roman candles with the need for the other, his hands moving down her pushing her legs apart as his fingers had explored her. She in turn had grasped his length in her hand, hearing the intake of breath as he had muttered words in Greek, the frustration and pleasure so clear in his voice.#p#分页标题#e#
