CHAPTER SEVEN

'I WISH to speak with you.'

'I'm sorry, but I can't spare the time right now, I have too much work to do.'

Gina barely knew where she found the temerity to speak to him like that, but she supposed hurt and anger instigated it. The fiercely warning glance Zahir gave her in return was enough to quell the courage of Ghengis Khan himself, and she couldn't deny that her legs weren't shaking.

'How dare you address me in such a manner? Such disrespect would be enough to have you incarcerated. In future I would advise you to think twice before succumbing to it. Come into my study…now.'

Closing the door behind him, Zahir gestured to Gina to take a seat. She was glad of it. Laying down her papers on a lavish brocade-covered couch, she folded her arms in her lap, took a deep breath, then made herself meet his glowering gaze.

'I apologise sincerely if I was rude, Your Highness. It won't happen again. What is it you want to talk to me about?'

Hands behind his back, he paced the marble floor, his handsome profile ominously formidable as his beet heels rang out against the stone. When he came to a stop, but still didn't speak, a jolt of fear zigzagged through her.

'What's wrong? Are you in pain?' she asked.

A curse violently left his lips. Striding up to her, he hauled her to her feet. Suddenly finding herself on the most personal and intimate terms with his flashing eyes, warm breath and steely strength as he gripped her arms, Gina was shocked by how faint with longing for him she was.

'Yes, I am in pain! I am in pain not because of a gunshot wound but because I have had to endure not having the taste of your mouth whenever I desire it, not having your body naked beneath mine! Can you imagine what I am going through because you deny me these things? Or are you so heartless that you don't even care?'

'Zahir, I do care. I—'

Any words she had been about to say were cut off by the hot pressure of his mouth on hers. Groaning, Gina wound her arms round his neck, and he was like a rock or he trunk of a tree she could hang on to for dear life were she in danger of being swept away by a hurricane.

In turn, Zahir held her fast as his tongue tangled hotly with hers, moving his hands up and down her back as he tried to position her closer, even closer, until there was no space between them and they were but one passionate beating heart. Reaching up, he freed her hair, and it spilled curling and golden round her shoulders.

He had said that he had had to endure surviving without the taste of her lips, the intimacy of her body against his… Gina didn't even know how to start telling him she felt the same. All she could do was demonstrate her wildly hungry feelings by matching him kiss for ravenous kiss, her hands as greedy for the touch of his skin as his for hers.
