relationship is
going to be run,‘ he said. He took
her hands in his and held them gently but firmly. ‗Why are you fighting what
is inevitable? I know you were hurt by our break-up. I understand that
you‘re still angry. We have this chance to reconnect but you seem intent on
sabotaging every attempt on my part to put things right.‘ ‗Some things can
never be put right,‘ she said, looking down at their joined hands rather than
meeting his gaze. Her belly quivered as his thumbs began stroking her
fingers, his darker-toned skin against hers a spinetingling reminder of how
very masculine he was and how she couldn‘t help but respond to his primal
call to all that was feminine in her. She could feel the flicker of desire
between her thighs, a tiny rhythmic pulse that was like a faraway drumbeat
deep inside her, each throbbing second bringing it closer and closer …
Emilio tipped up her chin, his eyes so dark she couldn‘t make out his pupils.
‗Are you fighting me or yourself, cara?‘ he asked. She sent the point of her
tongue out over her lips, testing his hold but it remained firm. ‗I hate you,‘
she said, but somehow the words didn‘t sound as feisty and determined as
they had even a day ago. ‗That doesn‘t mean that the sex between us won‘t
still be good,‘ he said as his mouth blazed a hot trail over the sensitive skin
near her left ear. Gisele felt her senses go into a tailspin as his teeth gently
tugged on her earlobe. It sent a delicious shiver down her spine as he moved
back towards her mouth, slowly, tantalisingly, awakening each and every
nerve beneath her skin, making her lips tingle in anticipation for the hot,
urgent pressure of his. She gave a soft little whimper and turned her head
just a fraction, just enough to make that final devastating contact.
His mouth sealed hers but it was nothing like the bruising kiss of the other
day. This was a kiss that was sensually soft, exploratory and yet
unmistakably commanding and arrantly sexual in its intent. She felt the
stroke of his tongue at the seam of her lips and she opened to him, their
breaths mingling, their tongues mating in an erotic ritual that sent lightning
bolts of need straight to the heart of her femininity. One of his hands slipped
to the nape of her neck, the warm cup of his palm causing the entire length
of her spine to shudder in delicious response. His mouth changed position,
his lips still moving gently against hers, but she still sensed an undercurrent
of urgency, of his control still tightly leashed but straining for freedom. His
other hand pressed her in the small of her back, bringing her closer to the
pulsing heat of his erection. She felt its thickness, the potent power of it
stirring her body into a maelstrom of feeling. Her skin tightened, her heart
fluttered, her legs trembled and still the kiss went on and on. It was so
wonderful to feel again. To feel alive and vibrant with sexual energy, to feel
the way her body inflamed his by its closeness. His hand at her back pressed
harder, a low groan emitting from his throat as she rubbed against him, her
feminine mound aching to feel his possession. It was a deep ache inside her,
a pulsing, throbbing ache that she could feel vibrating in his body as he
ground himself against her, hungry for relief. ‗I want you,‘ he growled like a
wolf against her mouth, the primal deepness of his voice and the scrape of
his teeth as he tugged at her lower lip making Gisele melt like honey under
intense heat. She didn‘t need to say she wanted him too. Her body was doing
all it could to relay the message of how much
she needed him to relieve her of this voracious need that was clawing at her
insides. She pushed herself closer, her breasts jammed up against the hard
wall of his chest, her mouth feeding greedily off his. Emilio pulled down the
zip of her dress, his hands moving over the naked skin of her back in
tantalising strokes that
