The door closed softly behind her. Now, there would be no more interruptions.
Simon came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Happy to have you.”
“Finally.” She reached up and placed her hand over his.
“My darling, I have been waiting to get you alone all evening,” he murmured, moving closer to her.
“You are not the only one who has been waiting,” Rachel said softly.
This made his eyes darken even more.
“Are you teasing me when you say that?” He moved his face closer so that she could feel his hot breath fanning across her face.”Teasing me even now when you know that I want you badly?”
The confession sent a shiver down her spine.
“I would not dream of teasing you,” she replied. “You know that I want the same thing.”
Usually, Rachel would never be so forthcoming, but she had been away from Simon for so long that she did not feel the need to conceal her true thoughts under the guise of propriety.
“Is this what you want?” Simon leaned down to plant a chaste kiss on her lips.
It ended almost as soon as it started, and Rachel was left pouting.
“A bit more,” she said.
“Only if you ask nicely.”
“Please,” she said in a voice that she knew was his weakness.
It worked. And within a moment, his lips were on hers again. This time, he was not chaste about anything.
He backed her against the wall and kissed her with a passion that she had never experienced with him before.
His hands tangled themselves in her hair, and she groaned against his mouth.
“Is this what you meant?” he whispered, picking her up effortlessly. “Did you want me to do that?”
“I want more.” Rachel bit down on her lip. He obliged, carrying her straight to the bed.
“I will have to warn you,” he said as he set her down on the bed, “I have run out of all my self-restraint. So, if you want me to be gentle with you, we will have to stop here tonight.”
Rachel felt heat pool between her legs. It was not a warning but a delicious invitation.
“Otherwise, what will happen?” she asked, her eyelids hooded.
“Otherwise,” he said slowly, not taking his eyes off her, “I will ravage every part of you and reclaim what I almost lost.”
Rachel whimpered happily.
Yes.That was exactly what she wanted from him tonight.
“Don’t hold back,” she said to him, and it unleashed something inside him.
That was the only invitation he needed.
