‘She did.’
Her voice was unfamiliar, shaky with lust, and when his mouth found hers she almost sobbed in relief.
He parted her lips further with his tongue, deep kissing her hard, and Anna found a side to herself she had never known before. Because her hands shot to his head and then she was gripping and twisting his silky black hair as she came alive beneath the demands of his mouth.
Sebastián did not have to coax reluctant lips. He lit a flame inside Anna that had previously been unknown to her. For once she was, oh, so very willing.
‘I’ve wanted to kiss you all night,’ he said. ‘Since yesterday, in fact.’
He picked her up and carried her through the courtyard. She kissed him all the way to the bed, stopping only as he put her down on the cover.
She lay breathless, her mouth swollen from their kisses and her body taut with arousal as he looked down on her.
‘I’m going to undress you now,’ he said, pushing the skirt of her dress to her waist and skimming his hands along her thighs.
She sat up and raised her arms as he removed the dress, and there was not a whisper of anything other than bliss as he draped it carelessly over a nearby chair.
He unhooked her strapless bra and reverently touched one breast while he kissed her hot cheek. But just as Anna closed her eyes and lay back down, to enjoy the bliss of his touch, he removed his hand.
He focused his attention on sliding her knickers off, and Anna was surprised to find that she did not feel her usual shyness at being naked. Instead, she revelled in his dark stare and the way his breathing quickened as he looked down at her.
‘Anna?’
‘Yes?’
‘You made the day better.’
‘You did too.’
‘Not just because of this,’ he said as he unbuckled his belt.
‘I know,’ she replied.
For she knew what he meant. His presence, however temporary, had made her feel better too. She had really enjoyed their time together. All of it.
She propped herself up on her elbows so she could admire his naked body—his strong arms and his long, muscular, hairy legs. She tightened her jaw as she looked at the magnificent erection that rose from him, and any lingering shyness was forgotten as she sat up and reached over to where he stood.
His hair was like fine silk, Anna thought as she touched first the black strands on his stomach and then moved her hand down and held him, stroked him, explored him for a moment, before he stepped away from her hand.
He took a condom from the bedside table and she watched as he carefully rolled it down. She lay back, fizzing with anticipation.
‘I’m going to kiss you everywhere later...’ he said as he knelt on all fours on the vast bed.
‘So will I you,’ she whispered, in a seductive tone she’d never heard from herself before.
And then she just sank into the bliss of their naked kiss.
The need he had exposed in her continued to rise as his thighs parted hers. She was ready...so ready!
The bliss of him entering her was sublime, and as he pushed up onto his forearms he stared down and started to move deep within her.
‘You feel fantastic.’
Anna could hear the little panting sobs she was making. ‘I’m crying!’ she said with a breathless laugh.
‘Because now you can give in.’
‘Yes.’
