CHAPTER NINE

WITH A SWIFT economy of movement, Kadir peeled off Caitlin’s tunic, revealing the modest bra and pants she’d bought in a discount store in Edinburgh. As his hungry gaze raked over her, she wondered if he was used to his women wearing bewitching scraps of silk and lace and how she could possibly measure up against them. But the hot flash of his eyes and the growl which erupted from his lips seemed to imply he didn’t feel in the least bit short-changed by her appearance.

He unclipped her bra and bent to slide her panties all the way down her thighs, effortlessly lifting her up so that they fluttered from her ankles, before setting her down again. He kissed her hair as he reached down to touch her breast, a slow, circling thumb making the nipple grow hard again.

‘I have wanted to see you naked like this for so long,’ he husked.

Her cheeks grew hot, but Caitlin was determined to match his matter-of-factness. Because emotional danger beckoned if she read too much into what was simply a biological act. ‘And you,’ she whispered. ‘I have longed to see you naked, too.’

‘Then what are you waiting for, Caitlin? Why don’t you take off my clothes?’

His uneven words were coated with need and Caitlin trembled beneath their rush of elemental power. She had never undressed a man before and she’d certainly never undressed a powerful king of the desert. But there had to be a first time for everything, surely? Her hands were unsteady as they moved towards the hem of his robe, mainly because she could feel the heat of his body beneath the silk and knew what delights awaited her. Pulling the garment over his head, her fingers tightened around its voluminous folds, her breath catching in her throat as she realised that, unlike her, he was completely naked beneath.

And it was impossible not to stare at him. To feast her eyes on the broad shoulders and honed chest and gleaming olive skin. The narrow hips and muscular thighs and long, hard legs. But most of all, she couldn’t seem to tear her gaze away from the thick pole of his erection which sprang from between his thighs, pale against the dark forest of hair.

‘Do you like what you see, Caitlin?’ he questioned softly.

She lifted her gaze to his face. He’s playing a game with me, she thought, and maybe he wanted her to play it, too. Was that what long-parted lovers were supposed to do when they met up again? But what if you didn’t know the rules of the game—when your only experience of sex had been one short night which had ended so abruptly? ‘It’s okay,’ she said coolly, the fabric slipping from her fingers to the floor.

‘Just okay?’

His black eyes challenged her and suddenly Caitlin wondered why she was even trying to flirt with someone who was light years ahead of her in terms of sexual experience. ‘M-more than okay,’ she admitted truthfully, the words coming out in a rush.
