Maya had quickly come to terms with the realisation that all Blaise wanted was her body. After all…why should he be different from any other man who had been interested in her? Feeling upset by Blaise’s remarks earlier, about adoring women but not finding one he wanted to commit to, Maya had stemmed the flood of emotion that threatened to unbalance her and given herself a firm reprimand. Facing the facts, she’d decided, was more empowering than succumbing yet again to grief and hurt because life had once more confirmed her worst fears—that she must indeed be unlovable. If this wild, tempestuous coupling was all she would ever have with Blaise then she would honestly accept it, and not wound herself further by wanting more.
In fact…tonight she’d decided she could be whoever she liked—for instance a passionate, daring woman who could truly be mature about what might turn out to be a hot one-night stand, or even several hot nights of passion, but who wouldn’t rack herself with recriminations when the affair came to its inevitable end.
Now, as Blaise voraciously claimed her body, Maya’s hands locked tight onto the impressive iron muscle in his shoulders—the touch of his skin warm and silky, his muscled forearms and lean torso dusted with a smattering of darkly golden hair through which she glimpsed his darker, flat male nipples. He was raining kisses on her mouth, her throat, her breasts, his seductive masculine scent and strong, hard body saturating her senses—making her forget that a world even existed outside this room. Wriggling beneath him on the carpet, Maya adjusted her slender body to accept his possession even deeper inside her, wrapping her long legs round his waist, one hand moving to the back of his neck to guide his lips voraciously back to hers whenever he removed them.
Somehow she’d become addicted to the taste of him. It seemed impossible that she would ever get enough of those scalding, inflammatory kisses…But suddenly Blaise tore his mouth from hers, to stare back into her eyes for a stunning moment that would be forever etched in her memory with the most exquisite clarity. Maya stared back, hardly knowing what to say or think. Then he delivered another one of those sexy, knowing little smiles of his, the azure blue eyes twinkling in the lamplight, making him look as if he’d invented the very word temptation…in fact was the personification of it. Then, slowly and deeply, he started to rock her hips towards his.
A stunned gasp was torn from her throat as her release came, quick and fast, stealing her breath as it convulsed her, even as Blaise’s own movements started to match it. Her heart thumping hard enough to jump right out of her chest, Maya stared up at her lover, knowing the exact moment when his own powerful climax held him in thrall and sensing the scalding force of his seed spurt deep inside her.
They’d been so swept away by the power of the wild, raging river of need that engulfed them that neither of them had thought about protection.
Now, as she carefully lowered her legs to the floor again, her feet touching the soft carpet once more, she rested her hands on the smooth flesh of Blaise’s back, sensing the slick rippling muscle beneath his skin contract and then still beneath her fingers. Her sigh of longing and resignation at what they’d done hovered softly on the air between them. She would never regret it, but would Blaise?
Scraping his fingers through his mane of gold hair, he ruefully moved his head from side to side, his gaze boring deeply down into hers. ‘I’m so sorry, Maya…there’s no excuse. I should have protected you, but you’re so beautiful and incredible that the possibility of thinking straight around you went right out the window! I guess I just got rather carried away. If anything happens I—’
‘Shh.’ Maya put her fingers against his lips. ‘I got carried away too, Blaise,’ she confessed shyly, ‘but don’t worry…it’s the wrong time of the month for anything to happen.’
‘Next time I promise I’ll take more care.’ Smoothing her hair gently back from her forehead, Blaise was regarding her almost tenderly, making no sudden move to separate his body from hers despite his rueful confession that he should have used protection. In fact, to her great surprise, Maya already sensed him becoming aroused again inside her.
‘Do you mean…like now?’ she asked, wide-eyed.
‘See what you do to me?’
His lips met hers in a long, lingering kiss that ignited the fireworks inside her all over again, but just as Maya started to surrender to more of the same drugging, irresistible lovemaking Blaise regretfully withdrew from her body.
‘But I’m not doing this again without protecting you. I’m also concerned that you’re going to get carpet burns if we stay on the floor like this! I think the bed might be more comfortable, don’t you? You get in. Give me a couple of minutes and I’ll be right back with what we need.’ On his feet again, Blaise yanked up his trousers and did up his fly. Then he reached for Maya’s hand to assist her. His wonderful chest was left provocatively bare.
