“Don’t go thinking I’ll break,” I mumbled softly, “gentle is boring.”
He slipped his hand into my underwear, parting my feet further apart with one of his own. I shuddered when he buried his fingers between my folds.
“It’s just been a while,” I admitted, my voice strained.
“You are telling me,” he chuckled, amused by my words. His warm breath tickled my ear as he kept his voice hushed. While one of his hands explored my rapidly growing arousal, he moved his other hand to touch my breast.
Right now, Elias was being experimental and my body was throbbing for more.
Lightly squeezing and caressing, his touch began kind. Seeing that I wasn’t reacting like he wanted, his touch grew rougher. One pinch of my nipple was all it took for my body to shift.
I couldn’t close my legs, not with his feet keeping mine apart. If I tried to step back, I’d feel his arousal digging deep into the curve of my back. All I could do was twitch and stir against his curious touches.
“Are you going to make me suffer all night long?” I asked, my hips jerking when he hooked his fingers inside.
“Possibly,” he mumbled. Shifting, he took a deep breath. “I want to take my sweet time memorizing everything. You’ve got a body that runs for miles, darling. It may take a while.”
A laugh broke past my lips. “You are ridiculous.”
“If it means I get to hear your happiness, I’ll continue to be,” he promised. Spreading the moisture gathering on his fingers, he slowly dragged his hand out of my underwear.
Despite wanting to move on to the best part, my clit cried out for his touch.
Elias pulled away entirely, circling back to the front of my body. He didn’t waste any time getting an eyeful. After a curse left his lips, he wetted his bottom lip.
“You would make Aphrodite jealous of your beauty, Ramona.”
I sputtered at his compliment. “You really know what to say to get my heart going.”
Stepping forward, I flattened my hands against his shirt. Fumbling with each of the buttons, I slowly exposed more and more of his bare chest. Making my way down, he eventually shrugged off his shirt.
His arousal was pressing hard against his dress pants. “You look uncomfortable,” I mumbled. Running my fingers down the outline, he cursed under his breath.
“Now you’re making me suffer, darling.” Reaching out to grab my hand, he flattened my palm against his cock. “Only you could cause such a reaction.”
I let out a shaky breath. “I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”
He chuckled, shaking his head when he released me. “If I knew I would be here with you like this, I would’ve been happy to wait another decade for you to come around.”
Meeting his eye, my next breath got caught in my throat. Elias surely knew how to be overwhelming at the worst of times.
Feeling my pulse thumping, I parted my lips.
“Elias, I have a confession to make.”
He looked confused, automatically reaching out for me. “What is it, darling? Surely, it isn’t worth panicking over.”
My heart was thumping so hard. I couldn’t decipher my rush of thoughts.
“I think I fell for you the first night I came here. Until today, I avoided saying it out loud.” I sucked in a much-needed breath. “My heart is yours, Elias Mariani.”
Elias
There was a ringing in my ears. I wanted to believe I misheard her words.
After all, I didn’t expect her to actually love me. Not after everything terrible I’d done in my lifetime. I simply wanted to be hopeful and use a fantasy to fuel my good behavior. I could survive each day by having her simply at my side.
“Say it for me, darling,” I begged with a desperation I wasn’t expecting.
