Taking pity on her, he grasped her hips in both hands and lifted her as if she were naught but a feather. With no effort at all, he settled her on his lap, so that the scorching heat of his hardness pressed intimately against her nether lips.
“Better?” he murmured, his face now close enough to make her cross-eyed as she looked into those mesmerizing amber orbs.
“Much better,” she whispered back, squirming a little in his lap, making herself comfortable.
And if her button quivered deliciously upon being ground against his stone-hard cock, and her cunny drenched him in her womanly dew, well, that wasevenbetter.
“Now,” he said in that deep, rumbly voice that made her skin tingle and her insides hum.
“What would you have of me, little cat?”
She licked her lips and stared at his mouth, unknowingly pulling him closer by tightening her arms around his neck, until they were but a breath away.
“A kiss,” she said softly, like a child’s most fervent prayer.
“I would have my first kiss with you, my beautiful Shai.”
Chapter Ten
“O love, O fire! once he drew With one long kiss my whole soul through My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.”
—Alfred Lord Tennyson
It was his first too.
The kiss.
Heba was his firsteverything…
And his last.
Though she did not know it.
His people believed that a kiss borne of love could unite two souls, because the spirit was carried in one’s breath. His parents had that easy affection. Conveyed in just a touch, a look, and a light brush of lips upon cheek.
Shai had always yearned for the same with a woman.
His woman.
Heba.
Now, as they warmed the air between them with their mingled breaths, he felt the truth of those old myths with every fiber of his being:
Their souls reaching for one another. Caressing. Connecting.
What they did before had served a particular purpose, and kissing had not been part of it. It had been about planting seed in fertile ground and growing a strong, sturdy tree from it. It had been about shared pleasure through shared bodies.
And though it had always been more to him than simple sex, it was not the same for her.
He knew it. He felt it.
What was different now was that there was no purpose beyond pleasure, beyond connection and intimacy between a man and a woman in the most fundamental ways. She sought him out entirely of her own volition.
Shewantedhim.
Shai was humbled by her desire. Inflamed by her need. Most of all, this eager yet shy request for a kiss gave him hope.
If their souls united as well as their bodies, would her heart follow?
