His hands ran up and down her back, smoothing over her butt, making her still sensitive body shake with the pleasure from his touch. He stroked her hair, as they both enjoyed the aftermath of their lovemaking. He finally turned her head and kissed her gently making her fall even more in love with him than she ever had been before.
She finally shifted off of him, breaking the connection of their bodies. She didn’t know what to do and was going to get up but he refused to release her. He kept stroking her hair, neck and back, turning her whole body to jelly.
Their breathing finally got under control and they lay there in a comfortable silence. She was starting to drift off to sleep when he finally spoke.
“Why would you have not only opened the gates to Amy but allowed her in our home?” he asked her. His voice wasn’t filled with anger just disbelief she would’ve done such a thing. She looked up at him in shock. He didn’t seem happy at all that she’d let the woman in. Maybe Amy had lied about their business meeting.
“She told me she had business papers for you and you had a meeting scheduled. She actually made it sound like the two of you were still lovers, which I was going to talk to you about but you kind of distracted me,” she said, barely above a whisper. She really didn’t want him to confirm he was lovers with another woman, especially after making love to her so passionately. It was hard for her to imagine he could be with her like this and then go be with another woman.
He stared at her for a few moments, seeming to be in shock. “I have never slept with that woman, as a matter of fact she was starting to push the boundaries of her employment and I fired her over a month ago and haven’t seen her since. I was quite shocked to walk into my den to find her sitting there, half naked. I quickly escorted her off the premises,” he said, in a voice that left no doubt he was telling the truth.
“It was very obvious she came here tonight to make a play for me, which I understood in her demented mind but what was plaguing me is that I couldn’t figure out why you would’ve let her in. I guess I never mentioned she was no longer an employee and why would you have thought we were lovers?” he questioned her.
“That day we were having lunch together, she was in the bathroom and told me that not only were you lovers but that she was expecting you to propose marriage to her at any time. I thought you really wanted to be with her but found out you had a son and were doing the right thing by him. It’s really bothered me because I can’t sleep with you while you’re having sex with other women. I know we aren’t getting married out of love but I don’t want either of us taking other lovers if we share the same bed,” she said.
She had turned away from him, because she didn’t want him to see the pain in her eyes. She didn’t want him to know the truth of how much she really cared. It wasn’t unreasonable for her to ask him not to take on mistresses. There were a number of reasons besides love she’d make that request.
“I want to share a bed with you Derek, if we’re going to be faithful to each other,” she finally gained the courage to say. It was very hard for her to do, since the last time she’d opened up her heart to him, he had walked away without a backwards glance.
Derek flipped her over onto her back again and covered her body with his. She was surprised, when his fully engorged erection was at her entrance, begging to enter. He gently spread her legs open and slipped inside her still wet heat.
She instantly felt the pressure start to build, as he very slowly pushed in and out of her. She was starting to lose all thoughts, including what they were talking about.
“I have no desire to be with any other woman when I’m with you. I haven’t slept with another since you stepped back into my life and I guarantee you I won’t. You’re mine now,” he growled, before locking his lips back down on hers.
Jasmine felt a sense of peace, along with the building pressure of her body, as he continued to stroke her with his hands and body. They made love several more times that night, like there was no way either of them could get enough of each other. She’d be very tired over the next week.
Chapter Fourteen
It was her wedding day and Jasmine was having a difficult time breathing. She’d been plucked, waxed, ironed and every other unimaginable pampering so much she didn’t recognize the person who stared back in the mirror.
She turned around in a slow circle to see herself. The dress was everything she could’ve ever imagined and so much more. It had layer upon layer of silk and lace that cascaded down her body. The top was fitted and made her seem like a true princess. Derek had even purchased her a tiara, that she was more than a little suspicious, contained real diamonds on it. She hadn’t let it out of her sight for a moment.
