David leaned into me, his voice a strained whisper, "When I cum in you, I want you to cum too. I want to feel your body tighten around mine as I fill you."
I moaned as he rolled his hips beneath me, his fingers digging into the cheeks of my ass. I went with him, my mind narrowing down to just that one point of pleasure—the feel of him as he moved in and out of me, the way he moved deeper inside me with each undulation of his hips. The only sound, our gasping desperate breaths and the slick wet sounds our bodies made as they tumbled over the edge into the earth-shattering pleasure.
My body became one giant nerve ending, screaming with pleasure. I tightened around David's cock as he erupted within me. Heavy warmth filled my womb as with a kiss we swallowed each other’s cries of release.
Breathless and a little shocked at such an intense reaction, I finally found my voice but I didn't want to open my mouth and destroy the moment we were having. David squeezed his arms around me and dragged my head down to meet his. We sat like that, not speaking, just staring into each other’s eyes as we regained a sense of decorum once more.
David was the first to break the silence. His smile lit up his face, opening him up and revealing the man I knew that hid beneath his facade. Seeing him so happy and relaxed made my heart skip a beat. Was it possible to have him like this always? Was he developing some of the same feelings that I seemed to have? I shivered.
"Are you cold? Perhaps we should return inside?"
I nodded and kissed him quickly on the lips. It was a fast, fleeting gesture, I hadn't even thought about it until I was actually doing it. David's expression changed to one of surprise and I couldn't help but giggle.
"Has no one ever kissed you before?" I asked, half teasing.
"No."
His answer shocked me a little. It certainly wasn't what I was expecting him to say. To me it sounded impossible. David was one of the most desirable men I had ever met. To hear that no woman had ever kissed him, that he had always been the one forced to initiate, did more than surprise me.
"But why?"
David shrugged and lifted me off his lap. His shoulders had tensed and I could see his lips pressed into a thin grim line. I had blown it. It was a conversation he didn't want to have and I had pushed it.
Anger built in my chest. I could read it all over his face. For the first time he had left his guard down and I could actually get a glimpse into who he was. I could see the hurt, the betrayal. It was a set of emotions I was all too familiar with myself. But there was no way I could push it any further. He needed to talk to me when he was ready, not when I wanted to hear him talk.
David was a fine balance and the last thing I wanted to do was tip him off kilter. I could be patient. I would wait.
I reached out to him and took his hand in mine. He looked up at me once more, his face open and vulnerable. "Let's go to bed," I said. I watched the relief cross his expression and he helped me to my feet. He helped me fix my clothes before dressing and we headed back to the hotel. I had plenty of time to figure out David, and in the immortal words of Scarlett O' Hara, tomorrow was another day. I suppressed a giggle and followed David to our bed.
CHAPTER TWELVE
I awoke the following morning to a note on the pillow. David had business to sort and he had arranged the dreaded business dinner with Robert for that evening.
I had the entire day to prepare. I spent the day fretting about the upcoming dinner. What would Robert do? What if he had an ace in the hole against David? Could he possibly win and take the business? If he did, it would devastate David.
I hoped and prayed that Aaron and David had come up with a proper strategy to ensure they came out on top.
The other aspect of the dinner I worried about was what Angelica would do. I had watched the way she looked at David, as though he was a life buoy and she was drowning. I had a feeling that if given half an opportunity that she would attempt to get rid of me in order to get closer to him. It wasn't something I was willing to tolerate. If she was with Robert then that was her problem.
It niggled at me that Isabella had warned me that many here would do anything to get their claws into David. It was the 'anything' that made me feel nervous. Would Angelica stoop to anything? If she was desperate enough, what was she capable of?
By the time David returned I was dressed and ready for the dinner. The dress I wore was similar to the one from the night before but this was black and far more elegant. I was standing in the middle of the room when he entered. He paused, his eyes raking my body up and down before he let out a low whistle.
I blushed as he strode over to me and I caught sight of the twinkle in his eyes. "You look amazing." He gathered me against him and pressed his face into my hair.
Playfully I slapped him on the arms and struggled in his grip. "You'll ruin my hair and I spent ages getting it just right." I grinned up at him.
Within seconds the twinkle in his eyes had disappeared to be replaced by a hungry, predatory look. I could feel the sexual tension in the way he tightened his grip around my body. One of his hands slid up my back. The second his hand touched my bare skin I shivered and closed my eyes. His hand paused at the base of my neck and he closed his hand around it. Holding me tight he pulled my head back until I was forced to look up into his eyes.
"Don't ever deny me, Carrie. I can't help the way I feel about you. Sometimes it's too much. There is a part of me that wants to consume you, to possess you. But I can feel that same need in you. I know you want what I want..."
I opened my mouth but the sound of the door buzzer startled us both. The moment was gone. He continued to hold me. Neither of us moved. It was as though if we stayed perfectly still, then whoever was at the door would simply go away. They didn't.
The buzzer sounded again. "It's Aaron. He said he was going to meet us beforehand. He wants us to go in as a united front and knock Robert's confidence." He released me from his grip and tucked an errant lock of hair back behind my ear.
"But I'm certain that the one thing that will knock Robert's confidence is you. I don't believe any man will be capable to function in your presence."
I smiled shyly at him. The buzzer rang again and David let out a frustrated sigh. "That man has no patience." He grinned at me and made his way to the door. The second he opened it, Aaron burst in.
"This is going to be a piece of cake." Happiness and relief seemed to pour out of every fibre of his being. He spotted me standing in the centre of the room and his smile grew even wider. "Carrie, you seem to get even more gorgeous every time I see you."
