He ran his hands down the length of her soft skin, kissing her lips, her breasts, sucking the tips of her fingers as she reached for hi to pull him closer The way she ht hi Only the thin barrier of fabric kept hi hie had barely crossed hishis hands beneath the fabric, gently nudging her panties down as his kisses went lower He pulled the cotton doith his teeth even as he ran his fingers between her splayed legs, lightly tracing upwards frohs He reached his hands beneath her panties and pulled the her wide As he ran his tongue over her hot nub, swirling in a circular motion, she writhed and moaned beneath him

“No—” she gasped, trying to push him away “I want you inside me—”

But he was er inside her, then another finger He pushed into her as his tongue licked and lapped her She arched violently, her body snapping back against the bed, and he felt her shake and tremble as she came

Feeling like he was going to explode, he lifted up on his ars He found her wet core, pressing right into her, then hesitated, panting from the effort of restraint He didn’t want to hurt her He would have to go slowly…

But Anna, ritted his teeth, aching as he pushed himself slowly inside her, she reached behind hi hiasp, and he tried to pull back, but the pleasure of being buried deep inside her after all thewas tooinside her, and took her in his ar her

He’d never known it could be like this

It hurt when he pushed into her Had he always been this big?

Then he kissed her His tongue twined around hers, caressing her deeply, and as her body relaxed the pleasure returned, built, intensified

He loves ht in amazement Her eyes fluttered open and she saw the expression on his face as he was kissing her It orshipful Devout Intent He loves me

Her body relaxed She didn’t have to leave him, ever Her heart was flooded with joy such as she’d never known before He’d never said I love you before

With those three words her whole world had changed

So would work out Why not? What problem was insurmountable, what miracles were impossible, when Nikos loved her?

Running his hands along her breasts, he slowly pushed into her again Her nerves grew taut She wanted him, wantedon to his shoulders But the bed was far too soft, sing her into the coht

With a growl of frustration he lifted her up from the bed, careful not to pull out as he wrapped her naked body around hi steps he crossed the firelit room to the nearest wall—the thick s that overlooked the Las Vegas Strip, twenty floors below Thick, unbreakable s that she herself had discussed with the architects—but she’d never dreamed she would put them to use like this

Anna lanced down at his tanned skin, at the ripple of his hard s around his rock-hard buttocks as he pushed into her A groan caain, causing her full breasts toforward, he bit her neck as the pleasure began to spiral within her, even deeper and harder than she’d felt before Her whole body began to shake, so tense that she could hardly breathe for want of him She felt him explode inside her with a shout, and she screaainst the s behind her, as she was devoured by the most intense pleasure she’d ever known

She fell forward onto him, weak and spent He lifted her in his ar in front of the fire Mur her face, he held her close

It took Anna severaldown at her His dark eyes were fierce, guarded

“Anna—” he said, then stopped

She licked her lips uncertainly Was he already thinking that he’d ined the whole thing? Suddenly she felt afraid For a long moment she heard only the low roar of the fire

He reached down to caress her cheek “I don’t want to be like Sinistyn Answer ain” He took a deep breath “Will you marry me?”

A rush of relief and joy went through her

“Yes,” she said

He visibly exhaled “Tonight? Right now?”

She snickered, playfully tugging on his ear “We’ll have to get a license, won’t we? The courthouse closed hours ago”

“I’ll call the judge at home—”

“No Let’s do this right Please”
