‘Didn’t you?’ Cesar queried as he smoothly dispensed with her clothes. He was in even more of a hurry than she was, and she was desperate for release. Every part of her ached for him and rejoiced when he lifted her so she could lock her legs around his waist. Breath escaped her lungs in a long-drawn-out sigh as he plunged deep.
‘Excellent,’ Cesar growled, throwing his head back in ecstasy as he slammed her against the wall.
Ripping his top out of the waistband of his jeans, she rested her face against his hard, warm chest and made a comment of her own.
‘Your wish is my command,’ Cesar informed her, losing no time before thrusting her screaming and bucking with pleasure into the abyss.
Grinding her fingers into his buttocks, she urged him on.
‘Good?’ he asked much, much later when she was quiet again.
She smiled up. ‘What do you think?’
‘Once is never enough?’
She laughed. Cesar had made her greedy. ‘I swear, if you stop now, tease me, or make me wait, I’ll—’
‘You’ll what?’ he demanded in a low growl.
Nuzzling her neck, he whispered encouragement in his own language, which stole what little control she had left. ‘Yes! Yes!’ she begged, as breath shot out of her when Cesar plunged deep.
One powerful release stormed into the next. Rotating his hips made her more sensitive that she could ever have believed. Speech was impossible. Breathing was hard. Fractured shrieks of enjoyment was the best she could manage, while Cesar made sure he held her where he wanted her.
‘I can’t hold on,’ she wailed at one point.
‘You’re not supposed to,’ he said as he encouraged her to work her hips to the same greedy rhythm as his. ‘Wildcat!’ he approved when she dug her fingers into his shoulders.
‘Faster! Harder!’ Would she ever get enough?
The next climax came out of nowhere. She was powerless to resist. It was bigger, and far sweeter in its intensity than anything that had gone before. It seemed like for ever before the pleasure waves subsided, and when they did she was as helpless as a kitten, resting limp in Cesar’s arms.
‘Don’t tell me I’ve finally exhausted you,’ he remarked wryly as he lowered her carefully to the floor.
‘I doubt you could ever do that,’ she admitted, feeling warm and safe as he wrapped her in his arms and dipped his head to brush tender kisses against her mouth. ‘But was that just to calm me, so I’ll do anything you say?’
‘Calm?’ he queried. ‘Are you in a different realm from me?’
‘Answer my question.’
He held out his hands...the same hands that had held her safe and pleasured her until she could think of nothing else. ‘What more do you want me to say, Sofia?’
‘Reassurance that I haven’t fallen for some sort of charm offensive,’ she said bluntly.
‘Surely you’re not that insecure.’
Who knew what they were until they were tested? she wondered. Since getting together with Cesar everything mattered so much to her, too much maybe.
‘Just tell me this didn’t happen because you threatened you’d do whatever it took to bring me into line?’
‘I have needs, just like you,’ he dismissed.
‘That’s not an answer. Is that all it is?’
‘Should there be more?’
Holding her breath, she closed her eyes briefly. Cesar could shut himself off completely whenever she tried to get close. What gave her the belief that she could break through his impregnable shell?
‘Of course there’s more,’ he stated as he raised her chin to stare into her eyes. His hands remained resting on her shoulders. She was unused to tenderness. Her brothers’ idea of affection involved a not-so-gentle pat, and it had been a long time since she’d felt the loving touch of her parents. Cesar had caught her unawares, and now it was too late to hide the tears in her eyes.
