The Forgotten Heiress novel Chapter 64

The hilarity of the situation helped to relieve her anxiety and gave her the strength to take the last few steps to reach him.

"I am sure." She told him when she finally came to a stop in front of him. She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm positive, your warnings have been duly noted and I understand the consequences." She murmured, looking straight at him, her lips less than an inch away from his. "And I accept." She whispered, leaning into him.

The feel of her body brushing against his, the look in her eyes and her words snapped the leash he had wrapped around his control. He snaked his arms around her and held her tight; like a drowning man holding on to a lifesaver would, he imagined, and kissed her with all the passion he'd been holding back from her. She groaned in appreciation and the sound vibrated all through his body.

The taste of her flew through his body, leaving his nerves on high alert.

When they came up for air at last, he cupped her rear and pulled her closer; letting her feel the effect she had on him. "There isn't a day that has gone by that I haven't ached for you." He confessed to her and kissed her again, not giving her the chance to respond.

Without breaking their kiss, he walked her backwards until her knees hit his bed. He smoothed his hands down her sides, gracing the sides of her breasts and continuing down to the front of her shirt, specifically to the last button of her button up shirt. He toyed with it, traced a finger around it before he began to undo it slowly and only then did he separate his lips from hers.

He stepped back and slowly unbuttoned her shirt from bottom to top; slowly because he wanted to memorize every inch of her flesh that he uncovered. He had just reached the button just under her breast when she brought her hands up to cover his hands with hers to stop him. It was this first sign of her nervousness that he noticed.

He leaned his head down, his eyes leveled with hers, and looked straight at her without blinking. "You want me to stop, you just say so and I will."
