The Greek Billionaire's Innocent Rrincess(17)

and gave herself up to the pleasure of feeling him move within her.



Deeper, harder, Nikos was aware that he was losing control, and he slipped his hands under her

and cupped her bottom, lifting her so that he could plunge deeper still, setting a rhythm that was

fast and frantic as he took them both to the edge.



The burning ache in her pelvis was unbearable now, and Kitty felt as if something inside her

were being stretched until it could be stretched no more and it would snap at any second.

‘Please…’ She couldn’t stand it any longer. It had to happen, now . She curled her fingers into the sweat-dampened hair at Nikos’s nape and clung to him while he drove into her again and again,

taking her higher and increasing her excitement with every stroke.



And suddenly, when she was trembling and desperate, he gave one more devastating thrust, and

the dam burst. A tidal wave of pleasure swept through her as her muscles contracted in pulse

after pulse of exquisite sensation, and the ripples radiated out until every inch of her body was

suffused in ecstasy. Almost simultaneously she heard the low groan that seemed to be ripped

from his throat and felt the great shudders that tore through him as he reached his own release.

He slumped on top of her and she felt his heart slamming in his chest.



In a protective gesture as old as womankind she crossed her arms over his back and cradled him

on her breasts, holding him tight for those few moments while he was at his most vulnerable.

Tears filled her eyes and tenderness swamped her heart. He had just given her the most

incredible experience of her life and in the aftermath she felt as though their souls as well as their bodies had been as one. It seemed impossible that he did not feel it too. But too soon he raised

himself onto his elbows and stared down at her, the gleam in his eyes no longer caused by

passion, but anger, as he demanded, ‘Why the hell didn’t you tell me you were a virgin?’





Kitty took one look at Nikos’s grim expression and swiftly dismissed the idea that the intense

passion they had just shared had meant anything more to him than a physical release of lust. This

feeling that their souls had meshed and were now inextricably entwined was an illusion brought

on by the intensity of her first sexual experience, and the coldness in his eyes warned her he did

not share her fantasy.



Now that the heat of passion was cooling she felt faintly sick, and her limbs were trembling

uncontrollably with shocked reaction to what had happened, but pride dictated that she hide her

emotional turmoil from Nikos.



‘It was my business,’ she murmured lightly, striving to sound as though giving him her virginity

was no big deal.



Nikos was not appeased. ‘But now you have made it my business,’ he said harshly. ‘I am not in

the habit of seducing virgins. If you had told me, I would have stopped.’



‘But I didn’t want you to stop,’ Kitty admitted quietly, silently acknowledging the truth of her

statement. The strength of passion he had aroused in her had been a revelation, and for those few

wild moments she had forgotten everything but her need for fulfilment. It was only now that the

self-recriminations were queuing up in her head.



Nikos had rolled off her and was now watching her intently, his eyes narrowed and suspicious

on her face. Intuitively she knew what was bothering him. He was a playboy with a well-

publicised aversion to commitment. She guessed he was wondering what she might want from

him, and was doubtless determined to impress on her that he would give her nothing. Perhaps he

feared that she would turn clingy and emotional? He wasn’t to know that she would rather die

than allow him to see how much he affected her.



Feeling acutely self-conscious now, she tugged the edges of his jacket together, flushing beneath

his sardonic look that said it was a little too late for modesty. ‘If you want the honest truth, my

virginity had become something of a hindrance,’ she told him, hoping she sounded confident and

convincing, rather than perilously close to tears. ‘I wanted my first time to be an enjoyable

experience, but I wanted a man, not some clumsy, inexperienced boy. Your reputation as an

expert lover was a temptation I couldn’t resist, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed—’ her voice

faltered slightly ‘—but I apologise if my performance and experience were less than you’d

expected.’



‘Don’t be ridiculous. I wasn’t disappointed, as I’m sure—despite your inexperience—you must

have noticed,’ he responded dryly, remembering the shattering intensity of his release. ‘You
