As his lips had slowly moved along her jaw his tongue had gently flicked against her skin as she had dropped her head to the side to give him more access, gasping feeling him kiss and nibble her. She had felt soft hands caressing her s, before his head had descended teeth nipping one hardened beneath the thin material, his other hand pulling the vest from her. Tessa had watched as his dark eyes had admired her firm perfect s, the tips hard and pink against her creamy skin, before his mouth had once more dropped, this time sucking in the other rolling it on his tongue, breaking down the last vestige of sanity in her already befuddled brain. Tessa was on fire, pulling his shirt from him until both of their bodies had finally crushed against the other, his mouth once more controlling hers, Tessa whimpering with a need she had never before felt.
As his hand had continued moving over her silken skin, following the contour of her stomach, before sliding under the flimsy night pants she had squirmed beneath him, her breathing so ragged. He could feel the wetness between her thighs, his own need at that moment so strong, as pulling back he had undone the belt and button.
“Help me” he had whispered huskily against her ear. Moaning, her hand had moved to touch the hardness of him over the trousers he still wore, feeling as he had jumped at the touch of her hand on him, sucking in a deep breath to steady the sudden sensations sweeping through him. Seeing his reaction had spurred Tessa on further, as her hands had shyly moved to his stomach, fingers pushing aside the waist band of his trousers, delving deeper, instantly feeling the heat of him the musky scent of him reaching her nose. His scent was driving her further, as her hand had pulled down the zipper feeling as his hardness had nudged against the back of her hand, feeling as he had shuddered violently before pulling her hand from him, his voice taut and broken.
“Stop, too much” he had whispered, his head against her .
“Tessa, it is important to me that our child is conceived when we are married………..are you on the pill?” Looking deeply into her eyes, his dark ones as full of fire as her soft brown ones, his voice tight, his need for her wanting him to take her, possess this woman.
Tessa had looked at him, her eyes flicking over his face, her fingers driving him wild as they barely touched the base of his spine. Now something new lit those wonderful eyes, confusion, and surprise as she had finally managed to stutter, her voice weak from the sensations flooding her.
“I…I’ve never……” she had begun a blush suddenly rising in her cheeks, as the meaning had become suddenly so clear to Alexis.
Pulling away from her and moving as far from the bed as he could, Alexis had stood on the other side of the room. Tessa had pulled her legs up to her chest, covering her bare s not knowing what had happened, what she had done so wrong. Seeing Alexis stood, she had bit her lip to hold back the small groan of want, his wonderful shape now so visible. Broad muscular shoulders tapered down to a slim waist, his long back to her, as he had stood muttering incoherently in Greek, his fingers running through his hair. He had reached down to retrieve his shirt pulling it back on with fingers which still shook slightly, but leaving it hanging open, before finally turned to look at her, his eyes full of frustration and confusion. Silently, Tessa had continued to hug herself, her whole body shaking at what had happened between them, not understanding why she had reacted in that way, her need for this man so primitive, so foreign to her well ordered life.
With fire still burning in his eyes he had looked down on the young woman, his voice full of disbelief.
“You’re a ”
Seeing once more how the flush had risen to her cheeks, her eyes flicking from him to hide the embarrassment in them, before she had pulled herself together, eyes returning to his, chin raised defiantly.
“Yes, is that a problem?”
Seeing the look in his eyes, Tessa had rolled over quickly retrieving her vest top and turning from him, pulling it back on, before jumping from the bed as he had finally spoken.
“But you can’t be…………” as she had turned on him, her eyes blazing with both hurt and anger.
“Why? ……….. because my mother was the town whore?” she had cried, tears rising to her eyes.
“Like mother like daughter, Alexis” she had flung at the man before her, moving quickly from the bedroom, needing to be away from both him and the bed, her vision blurred from the tears of anger. As she had reached the kitchen he had followed.
“That is not what I meant Tessa” his voice now soft, his hands moving to her shoulders to turn her around, his hands cupping her face.
“I would not have wanted you for my wife if I had ever thought that”
Tessa had looked back into his face, seeing the honesty in his eyes, hers dropping to the ground as she had spoken gently.
“My whole life people have always compared me to my mother………..and she was not a bad person Alexis……..she was a good person………..just unhappy”
He had angled her head upwards to his.
“I never knew your mother, but if she was anything like you Tessa then she must have been a wonderful person”
Looking at him she had given a weak smile.
“Then why?” she had asked, seeing as he had shrugged.
“Well you were a model, you are so beautiful………….then working on the cruise ships………I guess I just umed that there had been other men” he had replied, as she had shaken her head.
“No”, but remembering the many offers she had encountered, her refusal to become the lover of one particular man ending her modeling career, as she had refused to sleep her way to the top.
“Why did you stop?” she had finally asked, the embarrassment once more returning to her voice, her eyes not able to meet his.
He had pulled her into his arms, the feel of him once more sending shivers through her.
“Because I hadn’t expected it Tess, because it is special………..and I can wait two weeks till we are married… I guess it just seemed right to stop”
Dropping his head once more he had kissed her lips gently, groaning.
“But it is going to be a hell of a long two weeks”
he had added before putting her at arm’s length, a small smile lighting his wonderful mouth.
“Now did you offer me coffee?”
Sitting drinking the coffee she had quickly made, he had updated her on the plans for her move into his home. The show the previous evening had heralded the end of the semester for her dance school, the two month break matching that of most of her students’ school holidays. This was the time of year she normally made arrangements for the following session, carrying out any repairs or updates to the studio itself and preparing for the busy teaching year ahead. The timing meant that she no longer had any work commitments, giving Tessa time to pack her things and to oversee the move of her belongings.
With a small sad look around, she had realised that other than a few personal ornaments and pictures there was not much for her to pack, as she had rented the flat fully furnished. Having discussed the arrangements Alexis had looked at his watch.
“I have a meeting to attend” he had smiled.
“If you pack enough for tonight and tomorrow, I will return in about 2 hours to pick you up and to take you shopping”
With a small frown Tessa had stiffened.
“I can shop for my own clothes thank you” she had said, her tone defensive, seeing as he had smiled raising an eyebrow.
“I am very sure you can Tess” he had laughed softly.
“But the kind of thing I had in mind was more sparkly “
Lifting her hand as she had looked back not understanding what his meaning.
“While you say this is a business deal……..even business deals need finalised……..possibly something in diamond” he had smiled before kissing her knuckle, seeing as the fire had once more returned to her eyes at this simple touch, before she had pulled her hand from his with a small laugh.
“Yes, sorry” she stuttered “I … I guess so”
Alexis had risen to leave the small apartment, once more holding back the small moan seeing her still dressed in her pyjamas. The way she looked affecting him in a very personal way. Once more he had kicked himself for pulling back, still feeling the surprise of finding out that she had never slept with a man, although he had felt a strange satisfaction at knowing this.
After he had left, Tessa had pulled out an overnight bag, and as directed packed for the night, before taking a long shower, her mind going back to how close she had come to sleeping with Alexis, a man who was still to all intents a complete stranger. Shivering slightly she had felt the way her body still throbbed with the desire for the man, the image of his body burned into her memory, as she had groaned. He had ruthlessly forced her into a situation in which she had been made to agree to his despicable marriage deal, and yet, he had been nothing but patient with her, kind even, her feelings in turmoil over the man who she would soon call husband.
