was taking. Maybe he was the first man to make love to her since her husband. His lips kissed
away the tears as his body went about staking his claim. She was his, and no one else s, ever
again. Dead husband not withstanding.
Alex thought he would faint with pleasure as he inched himself slowly inside her, and the fit was
so tight he was sure he d burst well before seating himself completely within her. Every inch of
advancement brought moans of pleasure from her as his good-sized member stretched her
sensitive, swollen tissues. Finally, inside her to the hilt, he surprised her by sitting back on his
heels and reaching between them to worry that little bundle of fleshy nerves at the top of her
sex while rocking himself against her, rasping both delicate areas at the same time, stretching
her wide for his repeated invasion and driving her crazy with his incessantly flicking fingers.
Honey thought she was going to explode. He was driving her past the point of control, and she
loved it and hated it at the same time. When she came, she was going to go absolutely berserk,
and it was so . . . so raw . . . She resisted it until it overpowered her and took away the choice of
whether or not to respond.
Karim ended her struggle with herself by putting her legs over his shoulders, making her that
much more vulnerable to his thrusts and his tormenting fingers. "Come, Honey," his voice was
breathless with his own excitement but held a strong note of warning.
His words of encouraging command were all she needed to send her body into uncontrollably
pleasurable convulsions. She dissolved against him in the throes of her own orgasm, which, in
milking him, started his own pulsing pleasure. Karim drove himself into her hard and fast, taking
her, making her his by sheer force of his will, spilling himself into her in a wonderful explosion of
pleasure.
Chapter 4
Alex was utterly insatiable, and took her to the heights of heaven several more times before
collapsing onto the bed beside her. He was a fantastic lover, demanding a response she could
not deny. He didn t give her orgasms, he took them from her as his due.
None of what had transpired between them that night, though, had changed what she knew she
needed to do to retain her sanity. Honor was quite sure he had no idea she intended to leave
despite the fact that he d damn near made it impossible for her to walk, but she got out of bed
gingerly, just in case she woke him. He tended to have ultra-sensitive hearing and she expected
him to creep up behind her the whole way back to her own apartments. She had made it a point
to make friends  as well as anyone could with someone who didn t speak the same language 
with the cook in the kitchens downstairs, who had allowed her to take a six pack of bottled
water and some other provisions back to her room. Not having anything that remotely
resembled a backpack to store them in, Honor wrapped them in half the bedsheet, then rolled
up the blanket tightly under her arm. If all went well, she d be riding Lord knows how long on
one of the Arabians Karim had mentioned his father kept here. She d do it bareback if she had
to, but shuddered at the thought of riding hours with no protection between her nether parts
and the horse.
As silently as she could, Honey left the palace building, looking back over her shoulder nervously
all the way, and though she hadn t been there before, she just followed her nose to the stables.
The walk had given her eyes enough time to adjust to the darkness, but she turned on the
pocket flashlight she d found in a kitchen drawer only long enough to scout out the sturdiest
looking horse and hopefully memorize where all the necessary gear was in the tack room.
Honor had just shut off the flashlight and was reaching for a bridle when a very angry voice from
directly behind her made her jump out of her skin. "What in hell do you think you re doing,
young lady?"
Any other time, she d ve considered that description when she was pushing thirty-five to be a
compliment. But she knew the owner of the voice didn t intend it as anything but a warning
prelude to a painful trip over his knee.
When in doubt, punt. "I was, uh, just out for a stroll and I saw the stables."
Thick fingers took a cruel hold of her elbow and frog marched her back toward the house. "At
three-thirty in the morning? In one of my shirts? In the dark?"
Son of a bitch! Honor decided silence was the better part of valor, so she shut up and "let him"
guide her back to his room where he forced her none too gently to sit on the edge of the bed
while he paced the length of the room furiously. Honey didn t think she d ever seen him this
angry, even when the Bedford deal fell through and he lost a considerable amount of money. If
he d ve been a cartoon, there d ve been a cloud of steam rising from the top of his head, and his
face would have been beet red. Well, he d gotten the beet red part, all right.
Several times, Alex stopped very close to her as if he was going to say something, but it just
wouldn t come out. Honor watched as he stopped pacing finally and walked to his closet,
reaching in to pull out a long black leather belt. She was no idiot. She knew where this was
going, and scrambled to the opposite side of the bed, but that left her completely cornered.
Alex folded the belt in half, holding the buckle and loose end in one hand, then arranged two of
the pillows at the edge of the bed. He wouldn t chase her. "Get over here. Now," his voice
snapped against her ears like the belt soon would against her bottom.
"P-please don t do this, Al  Karim. I m sorry." She had to try it, although she knew the after-the-
fact apology wouldn t do her any good.
He didn t say a thing, but the muscle jumped in his jaw. Just as he was going to take the first
step toward coming to get her, she walked slowly around the end of the bed and stood infront
of him. Before she knew it, the shirt was on the floor and she was naked over the pillows, her
bottom obscenely displayed way up in the air, a ready target for the descent of his wicked-
looking belt. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
