The Billionaire’s Runaway Bride(17)

As his fingers had undone the buttons on her sleeveless shirt she had let him, encouraged him, the shirt pulled to the side his eyes admiring the perfect breasts contained within the lacy lingerie, another low noise leaving him as his head had dropped to nip the nipples which strained against the lace. Grace was out of her mind, never before had she experienced such ecstasy, looking up at him whispering softly.

“Alexos…I…I don’t know what to do” the need in her voice so obvious as he had paused, his hands trembling against her as he had pushed himself away, rising quickly, his back turned.

Grace had whimpered, wanting his return, her eyes flying to his long back seeing the way his hands had scraped through his hair as he had tried to pull himself together, both silent before he had finally turned to face her. His eyes had still shown the desire, half closing as he had once more taken in the glorious sight she made lying on the bed, her hair tousled around her slim body, eyes burning so green, her breathing as ragged as his as her breasts rose and fell, visible within their lacy confines.

Swallowing he had turned from her, his voice hoarse “Forgive me Grace…I made you a promise”

Turning and moving quickly to the door he had taken one final look at the woman who was causing all kinds of disruption to his body “Sleep well; I will see you in the morning”

As the door had closed behind him she had fallen back onto the bed, disappointment flooding through every part of her. She had wanted him to continue, wanted him to remove the rest of her clothes groaning with pain at the realisation that she had wanted it more than he, this fact sending small tears to her eyes.

The next day the two had made the return trip to her parents’ home, Grace once more finding herself enthralled by him as the two had laughed and joked the whole trip, disappointed as the familiar landscape of her father’s estate had appeared. Pulling the car over before they reached the house itself he had looked over at her.

“I have really enjoyed our time together Grace” his voice warm and honest as she had smiled gently back.

“I have too Alexos…really enjoyed it”

With a large smile he had nodded, his hand moving to gently stroke her cheek, Grace feeling the fires within her once more stoked at the mere touch of his hand on her.

“Does that mean that you might consider doing it again…soon?”

Nodding her head furiously he had laughed softly, his head moving to once more take her lips his dark smouldering eyes holding hers.

“We are going to be one amazing couple you and I Grace Leotta a small frown on her perfect features.

“Maybe in a few years..” she had began as he had chuckled, pulling her harder against himself, his voice husky before lost in her mouth “I do not think that I will be able to wait that long Grace”

His kiss had once more made her head reel, her senses leaving her as the animal need for this man had taken over, kissing him back with as equal a passion as his. With a groan he had pulled back, dropping his head to hers his voice tortured “God I never thought it would be this hard”

Grace smiling shyly back as Alexos had once more started the car, driving up to her family home.

Her father had been there to meet them, pleased to see the way the couple almost seemed to naturally fall against each other, his eyes meeting hers with approval, Grace mortified that he assumed the two were already lovers.

For a week after his departure, she had missed him, her mother watching her with happy eyes.

“He is a good man Grace” she had whispered softly, she nodding back gently not aware of the happiness on her own face.

That evening, as they had all sat together each eating dinner, nobody talking as her father had read the paper ignoring the two women she had jumped as he had laughed.

“Seems Alexos is not wasting any time” the name of the Greek making her frown as she had looked back with interest.

“What do you mean father?” her question one which would have usually been ignored, but this time not. Throwing the paper over to her to read, he had laughed cruelly. Picking up the tabloid she had seen the picture of Alexos with Angelica Fleur, the two laughing together as the other woman had her arm draped around his neck. Holding back the gasp, aware that her father was watching her with narrowed eyes and a smile she had read the few lines in which they had both been spotted dancing alone, reading of the resurfacing rumours of a relationship between the two after they had split over two years earlier, the tabloid enjoying the hint of scandal as she was a married woman.

“I…I’m sure that it was nothing” she had finally managed as her father had plucked the paper once more from her hands a sneer on his lips.
