Dragan's Redemption Book One of the Manor at Echo Lake Trilogy (29 page)

“He is here isn’t he
,
James, and not at work.”

“Indeed he is
,
Miss.  He is upstairs sleeping.  Would you like me to fetch him for you?”

Flushing
, she kept eye contact with him.  “If you do not mind, I will go up myself
.
”

“I do not mind at all.  I am sure he would love seeing you.
  I am going to lock up for the evening
;
you will be spending the night
,
I hope?
”

Grateful for his directness, she nodded
,
kissing him on the cheek.  “Thank you
,
James.”

Walking into the darkened room, she was grateful for the light from the fireplace.  Amira’s heart expanded, seeing him lying on the bed with his arm thrown over his face.

Quietly putting her bag down
,
she undressed and slipped on her pajama bottoms and top, hoping that he would wake up and they would not be on for very long.  She needed him.
  It felt like forever since their argument.

Sliding between the sheets
,
she la
y
down next to him, unsure what to do next
,
wishing
that she was sophisticated and sexy
.

Dragan stirred in his sleep as her
hands
slowly roamed
over his body.  Waking
,
he realized that she was
not a figment of his
imagination
but
in bed with him.  Hardly daring to breathe, he lay there pretending to sleep
,
loving the feel of her fingers
caressing
his skin
.  First
moving down his arms, then back up via his stomach, lightly rubbing the hairs on his chest. 
Dragan felt
himself getting aroused from the simplicity of
her touch
,
and
he opened his eyes, just as she bent over him making light kisses down his neck to his chest.
  He love
d
how her
hair fanned over him
, catching the
firelight
,
as she
slowly
eased
lower
on his body
. 
She was so
sweet
and still very innocent
,
and s
he was
slowly
driving him insane
with her caresses
.

“Amira!”

Looking up,
emerald
eyes smiled at him.

Reaching down
,
he gently pulled her up over his chest before shoving his fingers in her hair, pulling her lips down to his, devouring her mouth
with his
.
  Moving over them
, he bit down gently, pushing in with this tongue as she gasped.  Groaning, he pulled her away staring at her lips
,
now moistened from his
assault glistening in the fire
light.

“I missed you so much
.
”

“I am
so
sorry I hit you
,
Dragan.  I will never do that again.”

His
face
hardened
for a fraction of a minute before
relaxing.
“No
you won
’
t
,
Amira.”

Trying to pull away, he held her tight.  “No
,
don’t run
,
Amira
,
f
ace
your fear
with me.”

“Can we not talk about it
tonight?
  I just want to make love to you.”  Leaning down raining kisses on his chest again, he relaxed against the pillows giving into the rising desire building inside of him.  Taking her
hand,
he meshed his fingers with hers as she explored his body.

Hovering over his stomach, he felt her eyes on his face.  “
What
is it
,
Amira
?”

Blushing
,
her voice was shy
reaching up to him.
“Can you tell me what you like….show me what turns
you
on….”

“
You
are doing fine
,
baby.”

Not liking his answer but too embarrassed to push, she
licked his nipple, surprised when it hardened the way hers did when he sucked on her breast.  Coyly looking up at him, she brought her mouth back down sucking hard on the tiny nub instantly rewarded as a moan forced it way out his throat. 
A look of determination crossed her face.  I
f he was
not
going to tell her, she would figure it out herself.

Sliding back down his body, she nibbled and nipped paying close a
tt
ention
to how his body responded. 
Reaching
the top of his pajamas, she loosed the
drawstring.
  Reaching in with her hand, her eyes widened to see how aroused he was.
Touching him, she glanced at his face, surprised
to see his eyes
were
closed while one hand gripped the pillow by his head as the other gripped the blanket by his side.
Feeling immediate satisfaction, knowing she was actually in control, she leaned in and licked him with her tongue.   With what she could only have called a growl, his body jerked as his eyes flashed open.

“Amira, stop.”

“No.  I want you to tell me what you want.”  Leaning in again, she licked
him
again softly
.

“
Amira, please.”

Now she had his attention.

“Please what
,
Dragan
?
”

Dragan couldn’t speak.

Sliding her tongue up, his moan was loud as she opened her mouth
,
sliding him into her.  As brazen as she was acting, she still wasn’t sure what she was doing, but following
her instincts
,
she lifted her head sucking gently as she did, feeling him jerk, she knew she had him.

Feeling him slide his fingers in her hair, she sucked harder, not wanting him to pull her away yet, surprised that she was really enjoying what she was doing.  Feeling his fingers
tightening
in her hair
, he
shocked her by moving
his hips, thrusting into her mouth.
  Squeezing her thighs together, she wondered if she was going to lose it right there.

Brushing her hair out of her flushed face, he hauled her back
up
wrapping his arm around her neck, holding her in place, drinking deeply again from her
mouth
before flipping her over onto her back.

“Enjoy that did you?”

“Obviously you did.”

Pushing her hands above her
head,
he
held them within one of his own
as he unbuttoned her pajamas.  “Sometimes you wear too many clothes.”
P
ushing the fabric aside
before
dropping his mouth to her nipple
,
he drew
her deeply into his mouth, she gasped
,
wincing as pain shot
thr
ough
her when he bit down.  Yanking one hand from his, she pulled on his hair trying to loosen his grip on her.  He let go of the breast only to move to the next one and do the same thing again.  This time it did not hurt as bad, but she pulled on his hair again.

“If you are doing that to get me to stop, it is not going to work.  I happen to like that.”

“Kiss me.”

“Ahhh
,
with pleasure.  Letting her hand
g
o, she gripped his shoulder as he raised
himself
up onto his hands
,
dropping
his head back to hers
and
kissing her hard.

Reaching between their bodies, now coated with a layer of sweat, she
guided
him to her.

Dragan stared into her eyes, poised just outside of her whispering in low tones.  “I have missed you.  I have missed this
,
Amira.
  But
mostly
I have missed us.
  I am yours forever for as long as you and I both live.
”  Before she could
reply,
he
gently slipped
inside.  A gasp escaped from her
lungs as he filled her, overwhelmed by his words.

Watching the emotions play over her face, he knew that she was barley hanging on.

“Let go.  I want to feel you let go.”

“Not yet
,
Dragan
…together.
”

Lowering to his elbows
,
pressing
his weight
harder down on her, she felt consumed by his presence. 
Moaning
as he
started to move.

“You are my inlet, my peace.  Let me feel you first…then you can take me over the edge.”

Succumbing
to him, she felt her desire building.  Clutching his waist, her body shuddered in response to him.
  Stilling within her, he watched as
her face flushed
with desire
.

Opening her eyes, she smiled up at him, heart wide open.

“Your turn?”

Laughing down at her, Dragan slid an arm around her waist before flipping her over so that she lay on top of him
,
l
oving the surprised look that crossed her face.

“
You g
ot that right
,
baby.”

“I am not sure what you want me to do?”

Holding her hips to steady her, he
thrust
up deeper inside of her.

“Oh!”

“Hmmm, that is one word.”

Shifting to a sitting position, she pressed her hands on his chest for balance
,
unaware that ever
y
move was
excruciatingly
pleasurable to him.

She felt powerful
and so in control
rising above him. 
Pushing
up to rest on her knees she started moving against him.

Watching his expression this time, she knew that he was not going to be able to hang on to
o
long, moving quicker, she wanted him to feel what she did.

As Dragan watched her in this new position taking control, his emotions
could not
be contained.  He was in love with her.  He knew she was watching him, and he tried hard to hold back from her seeing how much she actually affected him, but it was too late.

Amira’s body stilled as she noticed his eyes filling with tears.

“Dragan?”

Reaching up, he grabbed her behind the neck pulling her face close to his.

“I can’t lose you
,
Amira, I don’t want you to die.  I would be lost without you!”

She nodded her head, choking back her own tears.

“We have now, right?  You have made my life perfect in every way
,
and you are a gift to me.”  Stroking his face, she tried to comfort him.

Feeling
the anger
rise at the unfairness of their situation
and unable to control it
, he thrust hard up into
her
,
regretting it
immediately
as he watched her
wince
, but she did not pull away only moved quickly against him.

Her movement caused him to slip
closer to the edge. 
Giving in to her love, he grabbed
her behind her head with one hand as the other one
gripped
her hip,
taking control
again
he thrust, moving faster and faster
until with one final thrust h
e gave into what he wanted to hold back
,
and in the
giving,
was completely lost.
