CHAPTER NINE

LATIKA THOUGHT THAT she might be crazy. Because this emotion and fire running through her blood was something she had never dealt with before. Because it was something that was foreign to her. Utterly and completely foreign. And yet familiar all at the same time.

Gunnar.

She wanted to touch him. She wanted to reach him. Wanted to pour all of her feelings out into his body.

For that boy that he was. That boy who must’ve been so terrified. Who resisted every attempt at being indoctrinated.

For the man he’d become. Arrogant and exasperating and so utterly brilliant.

She had known that he was strong, but she had only ever seen it in his irreverence. She saw now that it was his shield. That he had used it to protect himself from a Machiavellian father who had perhaps taken more joy in the attempted manipulation of his children than he cared for the outcome.

And Gunnar had kept it to himself. He had hidden it from Astrid so that she would never know the pain he endured on her behalf.

So she would be spared the full brunt of knowing her father’s hatred.

The Playboy Prince was not the disgrace of the royal family of Bjornland. He was the crown jewel.

Latika had disdained him from the moment she had met him, but she had wanted him.

And she had been wrong. So utterly and completely wrong.

The man had been tortured by his father.

She kissed him deeper, allowing her thoughts to fall away. Allowing nothing more than the physical home of desire to exist between them. Gunnar growled, pulling her onto his lap.

His hold was strong, his kiss turning desperate. It was deep and intense, his tongue sliding against hers, his whiskers resting against her cheek.

Her Viking marauder who seemed intent on claiming her. No matter that she was the one who had started the kiss.

But that was all right.

If he needed to be the one to stake the claim, she could allow that. She could be that for him.

What she’d said to him had been true. She had gone without sex for twenty-four years. And in this moment, it became clear that what she had been waiting for was this. Not him specifically, but this feeling. For desire to be tattooed on every beat of her heart. For it to be an undeniable, brilliant force that she could not and did not want to deny.

“I want to see you here,” he growled.

“I want to...”

“No,” he said. “I have a fantasy of you,” he said, standing up from the chair, holding on to her. She wrapped her legs around his waist to keep herself from sliding onto the ground. And then he walked her over to the wall and braced her back against it.

She could see him, his eyes a brilliant blue, the same as the sea behind him. Then he lifted her. Lifted her up and maneuvered her so that her thighs were over his shoulders, the wall bracing her up right.

She gasped.

He chuckled.

Then put his face directly between her thighs, with only a thin scrap of underwear keeping him from seeing everything.
