Page 43 of Two Hearts' Subterfuge

“We can be romantic later,” she muttered, smiling widely.

Apparently she’d showered too and was wearing a sexy little dress.

“Well, let’s at least take our time and undress,” he said when she started to tug at his t-shirt. “Just hold on a minute. Okay? Let me take a deep breath and get my bearings. Since it’s our first time, I’d still like for it to be special. I hope we’re not rushing things.”

She sighed. “Alright.”

Ben undressed her slowly, not quite believing how lucky he was. “You really are beautiful, Aylin.”

And then Aylin finally tugged off his shirt, spreading her hands across the breadth of his chest. “You’re in such good shape, Ben. I’ve been wanting to get your shirt off since the first time I saw you again.”

“I feel like a piece of meat,” he said dryly.

She slapped him lightly on the shoulder.

And then he grinned.

When they finished stripping away their clothes, and Ben slipped on a condom, he wrapped his arms around her as they sat on the bed. “Let’s take our time, okay? I’m guessing that this might be your first time since your father’s had you so heavily protected during the past ten years. Is that why you’re in such a hurry?”

She rolled her eyes. “I guess I couldn’t get that fact past you, could I? Even though I hired my own bodyguards, my dad still had people watching me. Even if I’d met someone I wanted to be with, that kind of a relationship wouldn’t have been kept from Dad, and I didn’t want him butting into my business any more than he already did. I probably wouldn’t have been able to be sneaky enough to purchase the boutique otherwise.”

Ben laughed. “I can’t say that I haven’t been with other women, Aylin, but what I can say is that no one was ever you. I never in the world thought we’d actually get together just because I had a crush on you. I actually looked at you as out of my league when I was a teenager.”

She sighed. “And I never stopped thinking of you.”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Alright,” she answered in a sing song voice.

He laughed again.

The tips of her fingers ran through the dusting of hair on his chest, gently grazing his nipples.And when her naked breastswere pressed against his chest, he became lost in sensation, feeling the softness of her skin, the fullness of her breasts, and her nipples aroused as they rubbed enticingly against his bare skin.

“NowBen,” she said softly. “I want you now.”

Her beautiful blue eyes burned with an intensity that touched him deep inside. He’d never felt like this before.

His heart began hammering in his chest, and with her urging him on, he laid her on the bed, covering her, slowly positioning himself over her and gently thrusting into her.

He stilled. “Are you alright?”

She moved a little, causing him to groan.

“Surprisingly, I’m fine,” she answered, seemingly unaware of what she was doing to him.

“Aylin,”he growled. “I’m not fine. Quit moving around so much.”

She giggled until his mouth covered hers, the languid thrust of her tongue imitating the strong sure strokes of him moving inside of her.

He felt her hands slide up over his chest, hesitate on his shoulders and then rise to frame his face. Even locked deep within their kiss, he felt the touch of her cool fingers on his cheeks and jaw, and reaction streaked through him.

He thrust deeper, harder, and Aylin gasped, her body arching greedily under his.

Lifting his shoulders momentarily, enough to appreciate the way her curvy body undulated with each thrust, absorbed each forceful penetration as he rode her and filled her, Ben watched as he pushed her step by step closer to the peak.

He felt the tension inside her coil, felt her tighten beneath him, her thighs gripping his as release fluttered and beckoned. Aylin’s soft staggered breathing filled his ears, overlaying his own raspy breath.

Aylin reached for him, trying to pull him closer as they came nearer to release and fulfillment. Passion swirled before they fell.
