CHAPTER SEVEN

‘I’M SURE the waiter thought we were newlyweds,’ Caroline chuckled as the two of them entered their suite later that evening. ‘He started to offer me confetti instead of dessert!’

Justin smiled, darkly handsome in his tailored evening suit. ‘We are newlyweds; two months doesn’t exactly make us a staid married couple.’

Caroline laughed happily, feeling more light-hearted tonight than she ever had before. ‘I don’t think coming up to bed at nine-thirty dented the impression!’

Justin put the keys to their suite on the low drinks cabinet. ‘I only got through until that time because you insisted on having coffee,’ he drawled, throwing off his jacket, and loosening his bow-tie.

She leant into his body as she unfastened the top button of his shirt for him. ‘When you made the booking here did you check that they do room-service?’ she murmured throatily. ‘Because I have the distinct impression that Devon is going to be wasted on us!’

‘I checked.’ He curved her tightly against him, making her aware of every hard muscle in his body. ‘It’s a twenty-four hour service, just in case we lose track of time,’ he murmured before feasting on her mouth.

Three days without his kisses and caresses made Caroline’s response all the more fiery, her fingers clenched in his hair as she more than returned his passion.

‘Oh, Justin, I’ve missed you,’ she groaned as his lips moved feveredly down her throat.

‘I’m sorry, darling. So sorry. I never meant—’

‘Just love me, Justin,’ she urged with feeling. ‘Just love me as if you’ll never let me go.’

He became suddenly tense, raising his head to look at her. ‘I never will let you go, Caro,’ he ground out fiercely. ‘Never!’

She could see the savage pride of possession in his gaze, knew that he meant every word. Penny was losing and she was winning! Maybe that was why the other woman had been on his mind so much lately; his subconscious had already been saying goodbye to that other love, allowing Caroline into his heart instead. Oh, he still hadn’t said the words, and perhaps he never would, but he was different with her now, and it could only be because he had come to care for her in spite of himself. What had started out as a depressing day now seemed full of possibilities.

‘Then love me, Justin,’ she encouraged with a slight sob in her voice. ‘Love me!’

Even his lovemaking was different tonight, just as fiercely intense, more so after the last three nights of loneliness, but tonight he was intent on pleasing her as never before, raising her again and again to the heights only to deny her release at the last possible moment.

Caroline felt as if she were going insane as he once again denied her, moving restlessly against him, finally unable to bear his slow, tormenting caresses any longer, becoming the aggressor as she pushed him down beneath her, the one to do the possessing, controlling their passion, and Justin, until they both reached a shuddering release.

She lay exhausted against his chest, their bodies clinging together damply, their breathing moving in ragged harmony.
