Luke bent his head and claimed a long, intense kiss. His tongue skated across hers and a piercing dart of such primitive longing slithered through her that it was a challenge to stay upright. A strong arm slid to her spine to support her slender frame and he lifted her off her feet with breathtaking ease to carry her back into the bedroom.Allie surfaced to find herself lying on the bed. After that burning kiss she felt a little as if she had been hit with a brick because her brain no longer felt as if it were functioning. Luke was poised several feet away, stripping off his robes and letting them fall on the rug, his proud dark head already bare. She breathed in slow and deep.It was time, she told her quailing nerves firmly. They were married. This was the deal she had made. Neither love nor liking came into the arrangement. Sex was on the menu, nothing else, and she had to learn to be practical about the fact.Naked but for his boxers, Luke was an intimidating sight, a literal powe
"I just love your passion" Luke murmured, pushing her slender thighs back at almost the same time as he lowered his head and swiped his tongue across her clitoris.The sensation was so powerful that she almost shot off the bed in shock."Yes... yes!' she gasped when she had found her breath again.His strong hands clamped to her hips to hold her in place for his attentions."You taste so good" he countered hungrily, marvelling that an experienced woman could have such an inhibition while he ran long fingers soothingly down the outside of her slender thighs to relax her tense muscles. "Close your eyes...I promise only pleasure, baby"He teased her pussy with gentle fingertips and she jerked, insanely conscious of where she needed to be touched and cringingly aware of how wet she was. He eased a finger into her and then lowered his head to tease her with his sensual mouth. Almost unbearable sensation engulfed Allie in a never-ending cascade. She no longer controlled herself; he contro
They slept in eachother's arms. Luke didn't want to ask her anything. He just felt contented and unusually happy that she came back to him.The next morning, Allie woke up and didn't find Luke beside her. Had he gone to work already? Then the door to their room swung open and Luke came in, holding a tray of food."Breakfast in bed" he beamed at her and her heart melted. She couldn't help but fall for him because he looked really nice and charming. She couldn't deny it no more. He'd stolen her heart."You should do this often" Allie teased, balancing on her elbows to stretch up and tilt her parted lips in invitation as though a piece of elastic were pulling her to him to rediscover that warm, sexy mouth of his for herself again.And that next kiss ravished and seduced and left her dizzy and breathless, wondering where he had been all her life, for no other man had ever made her feel that way. She was already finding out that Luke was not the guy she had believed him to be. He had muc
Rachel was going berserk. She flung items in her room as she let out an enraged scream. Allie was back? What the fuck happened? She thought she'd separated Allie and Luke for good so what the hell?She was very furious. She immediately called Bennett.He picked on the first ring"I'm coming over" she grumbledRachel Harriet doesn't give up; she told herself. She was going to come up with another plan. She had to.********************"What made you come back?" Luke asked. He stayed on the bed with Allie. He decided not to go to work today. Just spend the day with his wife and baby.Allie raised her hand and stroked his face tenderly. "I realized that you were innocent" she murmured softly"I was drunk" he held her hand. "but that doesn't justify what I did. I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't mean --" "Shhh..." She touched her finger to his lips. "it's okay. I'm here now"Yes, she was here with him. And she was happy about it. Even if it was a contract marriage, she was still glad to be b
"Let’s go to bed," she whispered daringly.His mouth hardened. "Yes," agreed Bennett, in an odd kind of voice. "Why don’t we?"Without warning he shut the door with an echoing slam, then picked her up and carried her towards a vast double bed which was covered with a lavish embroidered red coverlet.A tight little knot of desire was unfurling low in her pelvis, filling her with yearning and impatience. Even her senses seemed to have gone into hyperactive mode: her fingers filtered through his springy black hair and rejoiced in the silken texture while the already familiar scent of his skin acted on her like an aphrodisiac."You are gorgeous," Bennett told her and it was a smile of such charismatic power that she felt as though her heart were bouncing like a rubber ball inside her chest.He found the bare skin below her T-shirt and closed his hand to a tiny, sweet pouting mound. For an instant she went stiff because she had forgotten that she had no bra on and there was no warning befo
"I can’t keep my hands off you," Adam told her softly.That was a touch too blunt for her. Her cheeks flamed, her confusion patent. With a sardonic laugh, he raked smouldering golden eyes over her exquisite face. He lowered his handsome dark head again. The invasive stab of his tongue inside her mouth was deliciously sensual and she pressed helplessly closer to his hard masculine frame for more. Against her lower stomach she could feel the hard, intimate proof of his arousal and she shivered. Her hands fixed to the wide, steely strength of his shoulders. Her response overwhelmed and ensnared her. A tight little knot of desire was unfurling low in her pelvis, filling her with yearning and impatience. Even her senses seemed to have gone into hyperactive mode: her fingers filtered through his springy black hair and rejoiced in the silken texture while the already familiar scent of his skin acted on her like an aphrodisiac. Adam always planned everything. But desire was a raging fire in h
Allie hadn't seen Rachel since she came back home. Had the bitch given up? Well, if she hadn't yet, she was up for a fight because Allie wasn't going to let anyone take her husband away.Six hours ago, Luke had gone to work. Surprisingly, he'd been affectionate towards her since the incident. She wouldn't say she didn't like it, she loved it. She loved that side of Luke so much. She had to tell him how she felt. Even if their marriage wasn't built on proper foundations, at least she could make it right. She could make Luke fall for her like the last seven years.As she thought to herself, she heard the door open and shit face Rachel walked in.In seconds, Allie was in Rachel's face"What the fuck was that shit you pulled a day before yesterday, huh? Spiking my husband's coffee and taking advantage of his drunken state?" She howledA smirk curved round Rachel's lips. "I actually didn't take advantage of him, it was a mutual something""The next time you pull something as nasty as what
"yes!" she almost sobbed."Yes..." Luke said thickly, exploring the proud swell of her flesh with his mouth and his tongue and his teeth until she was torn from that last shred of control and frantic only for continuance.He released her hands and eased her out of her dress in one smooth movement. Long, sure fingers caressed her now tender breasts, playing on the sensitivity he had awakened, and a low moan of growing frustration escaped her. Dragging him down to her, she found his mouth again for herself, a long sigh of pleasure torn from her as the black curls of hair on his chest nibbed an abrasive course against her erect nipples.A blunt forefinger traced the length of one slender thigh and she trembled, jerked as he slid his hand over the flat, silky skin of her belly. It was as if a hot wire were tightening inside her. She couldn't stay still. He made love to her mouth slowly, erotically, every thrust of his tongue making her quiver with unbearable need. She gripped his shoulder
