Page 34 of Forever Desired
They made their way outside, and the night air was clean and crisp. The veranda they stood on overlooked the gardens. The sound of water trickling greeted them. There was a large fountain that was the centerpiece.
Athena would never understand how a hotel located in the middle of the strip in Vegas would have the allure of a real country garden. She’d come out here a few times during the day and had fallen in love with the grounds.
“I love it here,” she admitted.
She released Sorin’s arm and moved to the railing. She took in the beautiful lush shrubs, flowers, and trees. A few people were enjoying the paths lined with different species of flowers and plants. It was a beautiful night with the moon high. The aroma of the shrubbery floated over to her.
A warm presence came up behind her.
Sorin.
He wrapped his arms around her and brought her back against him. She breathed in his scent and wished she could bottle it up.
“I’m glad this area pleases you,” he murmured in her ear.
A shiver slid down her spine. Her body was responding to his immediately. Her breasts tingled with the need to be touched. Moisture collected at the apex of her thighs, and she bit back a moan.
She needed Sorin.
Athena turned her head slightly and met the heated gaze of Sorin.
Whatever this was between them was moving fast.
But for some reason, Athena didn’t want it to slow down.
Rotating around in his arms, she tilted her head back and met his gaze head-on.
His chest rumbled with an animalistic growl.
Her core clenched with the sound.
It wasn’t the first time she’d heard it. He’d done it before when in the midst of their lovemaking.
“You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” Sorin murmured. His hand cupped her face.
She leaned into it and smiled.
“You’re just saying that—”
“No. I’m telling the truth. I’m infatuated by you, Athena. I’m still convinced you’ve put a spell over me,” he said.
She laughed and shook her head. He was the one who’d insisted she was a mythical creature.
His dark eyes searched hers. “My siren.”
“Well, then, if I’m a siren, I’m going to command you to kiss me.” She gripped his tailored suit jacket in her hands while offering herself to him. Even with her heels on, he still towered over her.
“As my lady wishes.” He crushed his lips to hers.
Sorin pulled her closer, closing the gap between them. His large hand slid down her back and rested on her ass.
Athena groaned, thrusting her tongue to duel with Sorin’s. She slid her hands up his chest and along his neck, finding their destination in the hair on the nape of his neck.
She loved the silky locks and threaded her fingers through them. Her breasts were crushed between them. Her silky dress didn’t hide much, and the feeling of Sorin’s hands gliding along the swell of her bottom drove her crazy.
Sorin’s lips caressed hers in a deep, passionate kiss. The air around them grew thick, making it harder for Athena to breathe. She was lost in the kiss, feeling as if her body had been catapulted to the heavens.
Stars burst from behind her closed lids.
