Page 55 of Revelations of A Secret Princess

‘Not there. Not anywhere.’ She pulled her hand away, feeling almost embarrassed. As if it were a crime to be celibate! ‘I don’t have sex.’

Jake stared as if he’d never seen her before. Because he hadn’t believed her when she’d said there’d been no one but Mike? But before she had time to take offence, his mouth curled up in a sexy grin that made her heart leap against her ribs and her throat jam.

‘You do now, Princess.’ He kissed her quickly but with a naked intent that had her writhing beneath him.

Then suddenly she was bereft as he rose and reached for his trousers. Moments later he was naked, rolling a condom onto his impressive erection.

Caro swallowed hard, overwhelmed by her need for this magnificent man. She told herself her emotions were more profound because of the intense circumstances, the roller coaster of hope and fear since she’d heard Ariane was alive. But as Jake met her eyes and that ponderous pulse of connection pounded between them, Caro feared it was more.

He came to her, held her, kissed her, then, despite his arousal, slowly explored her with his mouth and hands. By the time he reached her sex, his breath a caress, she couldn’t take any more.

‘No!’ He lifted his head and Caro stared, overwhelmed, at the sight of him there between her legs. One more touch and... ‘I wantyou.’

‘I haven’t finished—’

Raising herself on her elbow, she reached for him, her hand sliding through the dark silk of his hair. ‘Please.’

The teasing light in his eyes faded, replaced by something that felt heavy in her chest. Something warm and almost reassuring. Jake prowled up her body and carnal excitement stifled everything else.

This time when they came together it was slow and sure and almost familiar as he held her gaze and she held him. This time the fizz of sparks didn’t explode as fast but the way their bodies rocked together, the searing strands of fire threading through her at every movement, every breath, every touch, made the climax more compelling.

Caro’s orgasm bore down upon her, first in tiny ripples that made Jake’s eyes glint with approval. Then in great undulating waves that made her cling and bite her lip against the urge to cry out.

She hung suspended, held from oblivion only by that grey gaze. Then his wide shoulders quaked, he flung his head back and powered deep inside and ecstasy took her.
