One experience So she’d been as inexperienced as he’d felt Her first real intimacies, her first pleasures, her first abandon had been in his arms
But the elation of this confire of how much his initial preconceptions-no raphic evidence-had caused his, kept hiic and the evidence of his own senses and intruded upon the precious mo what he had about her And now this And he had to know the rest, everything Struggling with a dozen reactions, he said, “Tell me about this experience that led you to believe such a ludicrous thing about yourself”
She looked as if she’d rather dig a hole and hide
Just as he was about to tell her she shouldn’t recount it if it upset her at all, she squared her shoulders, gave him such an adorable look of embarrassment and deter to cope with losing Dad, with being the strong one for my mother’s sake Dan was one of Dad’s executives and he kept working on convincing me that I needed someone, that that soh he knehat to do, what to say, to project the iirl I was But then, as a shrewd businessman, he would have sunk that much time and effort into far less than the half-billion-dollar deal I still was at the ti to land me Then he did, and it was-” she winced, the perfection of her lightly tanned skin turning coppery with embarrassment “-horrible It wasn’t even painful, for he was-uh…” She put two fingers about four inches apart, turning positively red “Anyway, it was just aard and gross And he toldsex, but he would keep trying to-to…”
“Cure you?” he spat
She winced at his sharpness, nodded “So so ashas, I would let him steer me whichever way he wanted But you knowwhat I feel So I said, if I couldn’t enjoy it, didn’t want it, why bother? He tried to hu time, but his act started to crack See off, his endurance started to give Then one day I blurted out, why not just be friends? And he erupted Just like a volcano Kept spewing for an hour, honest Who would want to be my friend? He’d only endured my inexperience and ht he deserved, not a brainless idiot like ravated him to the point where he threay half a billion dollars rather than put up with loating over his lucky escape and over the fact that I was now not only a cold bitch but a penniless one, too”
Shehab glowered at his hands, feeling his every nerve charging up with murderous intent
But was he any better than this man? Hadn’t he done the same to her? Manipulated her to an end unconnected with her? As she’d felt from day one?
No His cause was just And he’d started his own manipulation under false impressions about her, the worst And he’d pleasured her, would die before he hurt her in any way While that man, who’d deceived her, scarred her for life…
He rose, stood on the bed, looked down on her “I’ll find that scum Then I’ll send hiave a nervous giggle “Oh, Shehab, he’s not worth one drop of this nificenthim mercy like you did the paparazzi,” he bellowed “Thehounded by the exposed to his species, the , when you only have extra endowments, the least of which was the sense to feel repulsed by his dirty soul’s touch, when there’s no wonited and pleasured than you He robbed you of your innocence when he didn’t even want it, when he reviled that incoift And he’ll pay, slowly, for all his criged thee me, you just did More fully and fantastically than you can ever know Just forget hi froression, with the raging e her like this, at his feet, the cover pooling on her thighs and exposing the sweep of her graceful back and flared hips in a pose out of his deepest erotic fantasies He felt his turlided over the luxurious waterfall of her sun-kissed hair cascading between his rigid thighs, her lips almost buried in his erection
He took all he could then snapped, sank to his knees before her, hauled her to hiled her with his limbs and lips
He came up from the endless kiss, looked down at her as she lay in his ar his abaya off, exposing hiain as she pushed hiht to, one of the events he now lived for “But this guy was right about one thing I did experiment with physical intimacy after hio beyond kisses, with good-looking o in with ht if the kisses ell, I’d go further” He started to growl and she dipped her tongue into his navel “I hated the first’s scent and taste The second’s voice, his breathing, the noises he made in his throat made me want to slap hiet this over with so I can go back to that donut I was eating, I knew Dan was right aboutunable to enjoy physical intimacy” He came off the bed when she buried her face in his erection, inhaled hi in enjoyht in the eyes And her eyes Ya Ullah, her eyes
This was Farah, letting him see into the very depths of her heart and soul Then she told him
“But I realize now I can’t feel physical passion without an emotional one And that’s why you’ll always be the only one to ignite and pleasure me Because I love you”
