At that exact moment, she cried out as the tsunami took hold of her and she was cast into a swirling maelstrom of ecstasy.
Then he collapsed down onto her and she wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight, drawing him as close as she could to her.
The ecstasy flamed throughout her body for what seemed like an eternity. But finally, as she held him close, and as he wrapped her in his embrace, the pleasure was replaced with a warm glow which she never wanted to end.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Kadeem lay next to Eliana, holding her in his arms. He could hardly believe what they'd just shared. The most intimate moment possible with the princess he'd thought would always be out of reach.
Well, now she was in his arms. And, as far as he was concerned, he never wanted to let her go.
He glanced at her face as it rested against his chest. By the soft light of the bedroom, he saw the tumble of her blonde hair, some of which settled on the dark hair of his chest; he gazed at her closed eyes, the soft lashes like delicate feathers; he took in the sight of the flushed skin of her face. There was a look of sheer contentment on her face.
Kadeem sighed softly. He thought about what had happened in the last hour. Their union had been intense. And not just the first time. But the second time had been just as pleasurable as the first. He'd surprised himself with the extent of his need. And his ability to satisfy that need. But he hadn't been able to contain himself. Not now that he had Ellie in his bed.
Eliana shifted as if sensing that Kadeem was thinking about her. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He just wanted to savor the sight of her lying next to him, here in his bed. Where she belonged, he told himself.
Finally she spoke: "What are you thinking?"
He smiled at her. "I'm just trying to find the words to describe how beautiful you are."
He saw her cheeks turn pink. "You're pretty handsome yourself," she replied defensively.
He leaned his head down and kissed her forehead. Her skin was moist and he'd never tasted anything so sweet. "My amazing princess," he said softly.
Her brows furrowed. She rose and propped herself on one elbow and squinted at him. "Does that make you my incredible sheikh?"
He smiled and shook his head. "If that would make you happy," he said. "Although, you must admit, that sounds a bit cheesy."
He twisted and faced her, drawing her nearer to him. They were both still naked. He felt her body crush against his. She seemed to notice his hardness. "Nothing can stop you, can it?" she said with a sly grin.
"You can't," he retorted. "Why would I want to stop, now that I have you where I want you?"
She giggled. "You're insatiable," she said. "You know that, don't you?"
He tilted his head casually. "Let me see about that," he said.
Eliana lay on her back as Kadeem shifted on to her. As before, their bodies fitted perfectly together. He savored the softness of her body, the delicious scent of her.
She gazed up at him. He'd never seen her look so happy. All the tensions of the last few weeks had been banished. There was a new light in her eyes. And he was sure she could see the same look in his dark gaze.
Eliana wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He dipped his head and kissed her. This time his kiss was a tender as he could make it. The urgency of their passion had been satisfied. Now, all he wanted to do was be close to her. To feel her softness next to him.
The kiss ended, he looked at her for a long moment. An understanding passed between them. It was unspoken, but they both knew what it had meant.
However, before they had a chance to act on that understanding, the silence of the room was cut by the sound of the telephone next to the bed ringing noisily. Kadeem's shoulders slumped and he shifted from Eliana. He reached for the phone.
"Yes?" he said irritably.
"Kadeem?"
It was his father's voice. Immediately, Kadeem sat up straight, resting his head against the headboard of the bed. "Father," he said in a flat voice.
Kadeem glanced at Eliana. She squinted at him and sat up, wrapping the bed clothes about her naked upper body.
"Where is the princess?" Zaeed asked sharply.
