“What if I say—I want you, Shai?” she whispered on a hitched breath.
Unknowingly, he closed the distance between their bodies, until their fronts were pressed lightly together. But even then, he knew that she must feel the hard shape of him against her soft stomach, making his reaction to her clear.
“What exactly do you want from me, my—”
“Heba,” she interrupted, tilting her chin in a small act of boldness.
“You must call me Heba on this voyage. I am merely a woman, and you are a man. We are equals in this, remember?”
He used his body to cage her in, turning her until her back was against the rail, his arms braced on either side of her.
He could feel the rapid rise and fall of her chest. See the fluttering of her pulse in the arch of her neck. Her eyes were enormously black as she stared up at him, the setting sun wreathing her face in a golden glow.
She was a warm, vibrant, blushing woman in this moment.
Hiswoman.
“What do you want from me, Heba?” he husked low, bending his much larger bulk over her, trapping her.
Their faces were a hair’s breadth apart. He could almost feel the bristles of her eyelashes upon his cheek, her sweet breath upon his lips.
“I…I…”
She struggled with more words, swallowing and stuttering and starting over again.
Her eyes crossed as she stared pointedly at his mouth. She wet her lips nervously over and over again, making them wet and shiny.
Did she know what she did? How her body thrummed against his, desperate for him to cover her. Surround her.
To thrust inside and fill her full.
“Tell me,” he commanded.
Demanded.
He needed to know. He wanted there to be no mistake. No misunderstanding and no regrets.
“I want you to be mine,” she finally got out in a low, gritty voice, as if the confession was made under torturous duress.
“I want us to be free for the next ninety days. To be ourselves and indulge our desires. I-I-want you. Always. Only you. If-if-you want me too, the way a man wants a woman, if-if-”
“Aye,” he interjected, just to be clear.
“I do.”
Visibly, she deflated with relief.
“Oh, thank the merciful gods,” she breathed. “I was prepared to seduce you if you needed convincing, but I’m not entirely sure how to go about it.”
How to seduce him?
She seduced him just by breathing. Just bybeing.
Did she really have no idea? He was not celibate because he wanted to be. He was a man of tremendous needs. But as fate would have it, his body, mind and heart simply didn’t desire anyone but Heba.
“You want to fuck me, is that it?” he pushed her further, speaking bluntly the way she started this mad,madconversation.
Her eyes went round like an owl’s, and her mouth dropped open in a perfect O.
