CHAPTER 17

Raven

The intense vibrations of the engine rumbling underneath me were no match for the throbbing between my legs. As the powerful moment continued, all I could do was hold my breath for fear that the beautiful few seconds he was allowing would be shattered.

When Arman lifted his hand, cupping my jaw, I nuzzled against the warmth, closing my eyes briefly.

“Si seulement je pouvais être ton prince.”

His husky whisper, his heated breath cascaded across my face and neck, and I didn’t need to be fluent in French to know what he’d said.

If only I could be your prince.

He pressed his lips against mine, brushing them back and forth ever so lightly. I found myself clutching his shirt, clinging to him as if he was the only lifeline I needed, keeping me from drowning in a sea of dangerous creatures. As the kiss deepened, I allowed myself to be swept up in the moment of passion, longing for so much more. He darted his tongue inside, savoring the sweetness.

I struggled to get to him, still trapped by the tight confines of the seatbelt, arching my back as much as possible. His hold remained firm, just as possessive as before, yet more tender. When he finally backed away, he offered a smile.

There was so much to say but nothing coherent came to mind. He had the ability to block out everything else but the intensity of our shared feelings.

How wonderful.

How petrifying.

As he pulled into the garage, I glanced across the massive structure, the size deceiving from the front. There were at least eight gorgeous, polished to perfection vehicles in his collection, some of them considered classics. They didn’t include the giant SUVs parked out front.

Jesus. His family had more money than God. No wonder they were considered one of the ten most influential families in the world. Not just the United States but the world. Both he and his brother Francois had been on the most eligible bachelor list several times. I understood that my father’s position meant he was at odds with the illegitimate side of Arman’s businesses but why go to this extreme? There had to be a more personal reason.

I couldn’t wrap my head around the situation whatsoever but there was no denying my feelings for him were deepening.

“These all belong to you?” I asked as he cut the engine.

“They do, one of my few hobbies. I tinker with their engines, sometimes bodywork when I have the time. One day I hope to restore a perfectly amazing piece of junk into something special.”

“I’d be curious as to your other hobbies and I’ve love to see what you came up with for a special car.”

“First things first, Raven. We’ll get you settled. If you want to take a shower or change clothes, feel free.” He unfastened his seatbelt, immediately opening the door.

“And then?”

“We’ll have a drink.” As he climbed out, I noticed immediately that he was scanning the garage as if looking for enemies lurking in the shadows.

The thought was as unreal as everything else.
