Chapter Twenty-One

Adam

She’s asleep. She’s tired, but I’m also hard as a rock, and I don’t want to finish myself off. She snores softly through parted lips. After we ate, I questioned her some more about her father and told her in detail what her father did; she stopped talking halfway through and was already nodding off. Being ignored would anger me usually, but I was bewitched by the sight of her lashes fluttering closed. By the time I let the male servant in to remove the trays, she’d been all the way knocked out.

I’ve been pacing in front of the bed, wondering what to do with this brick between my legs. It throbs, and I’m desperate for her. But desperation means loss of control. Earlier, I was in control, bringing her to climax. Once she came though, it was all over for me. She’d never submitted to me so easily. It set off a ripple effect in my body. My nerves danced from my head to my toes. Still, I managed to hold myself back, cover it with a sheet, eat and engage in conversation. But that did nothing to kill my erection.

All I can think about, now, is the last time I kissed her lips, how I held back from kissing them again, and how much I want to kiss them now. I want to kiss her lips and feel inside her. I need to or else my body will burst into flames. Maybe it has something to do with almost losing her tonight, and the reminder that tomorrow isn’t promised. But for a single moment, I forget about my need to maintain perfect control, and I climb on the bed. Kneeling, I reach for her hands and pull her up by the wrists.

Her eyes spring open, and they flash about the room. “Wha—” She’s about to ask, but my lips are upon hers, and I moan like a man starved, finally being fed for the first time in months. I fling my arms around her waist, pulling her closer than possible to my body, needing the garment between us to be removed as she presses against my aching manhood.

Sucking on those soft, pillowy lips, I groan when her arms come around my neck. She hooks onto me, and I bite her lip with the shock slamming into my body. Hell and damnation, she’s delicious. I imagine it must be ecstasy feeling her lips move against mine as I plunge in and out of her. I can’t wait. Wrapping her legs around my waist, I lower her to the bed and push. But she pulls away, backing up toward the head of the bed and wrapping her arms around her knees. I shake from the loss before reaching for her ankle.

“No,” she says.

My brows drop. “No?” I ask, falling to my elbows.

“Thanks so much for saving my life, but I’m not ready to give myself to you,” she says.

Sitting up, I study her. She’s serious, and I crack up laughing.
