The Prince’s Forbidden Lover(29)

It was a fabulous, tangled web and she didn’t know how to extricate herself, other than to enjoy this one night with him.

No future, she reminded herself. No promises, no declarations of feelings. Just one night of beautiful bliss, mutually enjoyed.

Taking a deep breath, wondering if she was making the biggest mistake of her life, she nodded her head. Ignoring the warning bells clamoring in the background, she accepted his hand. “We make love tonight,” she finally said out loud. Shivering at the sound of her voice as well as the commitment she was making with those words, she moved closer to him, allowing him to pull her onto his lap. She was trembling with the momentous decision but the moment he kissed her again, the ever-present desire flooded away all of her doubts.

When the limousine pulled up into an underground parking garage, he lifted her out and set her feet carefully on the ground. “This way,” he told her and led her to the elevators. With a single button, they were swept upwards to the top floor.

When they emerged into a beautiful penthouse, she had only a moment to take it all in before he swept her up into his arms and carried her to his bedroom. She had a brief impression of dark browns and modern furniture but in that moment, he distracted her by kissing her. The jacket he’d put over her shoulders fell to the floor as his hands moved to pull her against him once more.

Joline was terrified of what was going to happen, but she’d committed to this and…oh my! His hand moved under her blouse, his strong, calloused fingers skimming along the skin of her back and she couldn’t hold back the moan as he found several erogenous zones!

“Do that again, please,” she whispered to him.

Rais laughed soft and low as his mouth moved to her neck, nibbling along the way to her ear. Her head fell backwards as she savored his expertise, her hands clenching at his shoulders.

Rais had a hard time not ripping off her clothes and making love to her immediately. He felt like he’d been waiting for years to have this woman in his arms like this and the urgency was making him nuts.

But he also loved the sexy sounds she made when he kissed her along her neck and her shoulder. His deft fingers quickly divested her of her blouse and her skirt before he lifted her up and placed her in the middle of his bed. Looking down at her, with just her lacy underwear and bra on, well, and those sexy heels, he thought he might explode with the need to bury himself in her heat. His mind was remembering how hot and wet she’d been earlier today but he had to slow down. This was her first time and he had to make it good for her.

Leaving his clothes on, because he couldn’t take the additional stimulation of feeling her naked skin against his, he leaned down and quickly took off her bra, feasting his eyes on her perfect breasts. “Damn, you’re beautiful,” he groaned a moment before he took a peak in his mouth. He felt her fingers dive into his hair and almost laughed when she tried to pull his head away. He ignored her tugs and continued teasing the sensitive peak until she screamed and arched her back. Only then did he move over to the other breast.

He felt her hips surging against his erection and almost lost his control. But he pulled back by counting backwards from one hundred, even as he moved lower on her body, exploring her softly rounded stomach.

When he moved lower, he heard her breathing increase and smiled. She knew what he was going to do.

“Rais?” she asked nervously. But he was already there, kissing the inside of her thighs.

“Enjoy this,” he told her. When his tongue touched her heat, he felt her jackknife upwards but he wasn’t relenting. She tasted too good and his mind remembered this morning, the way she’d clenched his fingers so tightly. He wanted to watch her climax, to taste her release in his mouth.

His own body felt as if it was going to explode, but he pushed the ache to the back of his head, wanting her pleasure more. As soon as he felt her body start to convulse, he slipped a finger inside of her while his mouth and tongue teased that sensitive nub.

When she splintered apart, he slowly eased up the pressure, trying to prolong her climax. As her body finally settled down, he stood up and ripped off his clothes.

Watching her, he thought she was the sexiest woman he’d ever seen as she continued to move on his bed, stretching and almost purring in the aftermath of her pleasure.

Grabbing a condom, he rolled it over his length and came back to her, moving right back between her legs. “Thank you for that,” he said as he kissed her stomach again. “You were beautiful.”

Joline laughed as her hands moved up to touch his bare shoulders. “You’re amazing,” she whispered, her fingers dancing along the muscles in his arms and shoulders. “I like this,” she told him, her fingers floating across his chest. “Can I…” she started to ask.
