After sending off the emails which could have been left until the morning, Craig had poured himself a large whisky and sat on one of the chairs. His mind was in turmoil. His plan had been to humiliate her, and yet he had enjoyed the dinner laughing at her stories. Listening to her gentle laugh had brought back memories of other times. Times which he had spent with her relaxed and happy. Suddenly he felt an overwhelming need to spend more such times with her. He groaned as all the old memories he had buried deep down within himself came rushing back to the surface. He had survived initially by portraying her as a user, but he now remembered the way they had lain in each others arms talking for hours, both so happy to be there enjoying each others company. Losing himself in these memories for some time he remembered how she had betrayed him in the cruelest way and some of the anger returned to him. Kira Black deserved to be punished he told himself with little conviction.
Closing his eyes he could see her lovely face, so sweet and innocent. He had fallen for that in the past and look what she had done. He clamped his mouth shut tightly, his body cried out for her and putting down his glass he rose, he was going to make sure that Kira Brown fulfilled his desires that night.
As he entered the room with the light still on, he saw her lying asleep in the bed. So child like and peaceful in sleep one hand, palm up, rested above her head while the other rested on her waist. Her long golden hair framed her perfect features and suddenly he had no desire to wake her, but watched as she breathed in softly her face completely peaceful in sleep. Moving into the large en-suite bathroom he showered quickly, before pulling on a pair of silk pyjama bottoms. Gently he had slid into the bed besides her turning off the light. It had been a long day, and suddenly feeling very tired himself he was soon asleep beside her.
CHAPTER FOUR
It was Kira who woke first. During the night they had both somehow ended up in each others arms, and she now lay with her head against his naked chest, her arm thrown over his waist with his arm around her shoulder. Sleepily she wondered what had happened. She remembered lying down in bed waiting for him to come up, she had felt nervous but a part of her had felt excited also.
Looking at him she realised that he had let her sleep, and her heart had jumped at the thought of this small act of kindness, although she wondered if this was because he just hadn’t wanted her, the words “At my beck and call” ringing in her ears. However, the feel of his warm body against hers was causing small tremors to move through her still sleepy one. This was how they used to lie together, when tired and spent from their love making, they would fall asleep in each others arms, and the familiarity of it tugged at her. Kira raised herself to her elbow looking down at his still sleeping face. She watched as he breathed in slowly his long lashes brushing against his cheek. In sleep he looked so peaceful, yet she smiled, even in sleep he looked determined, the familiarity of this look making her heart flutter. Her eyes continued to scan his features from his well chiselled chin to his mouth, so sensual and full of promise. That mouth whose kiss had in the past caused her so much pleasure and at the same time disrupted her body so much, even now she acknowledged remembering the previous day’s kisses. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever thought to be once again in his bed and being there was causing so many different emotions to run through her.
In sleep he was the Craig she remembered, not the man who had so coldly threatened Bill and forced her to accompany him. Her eyes flickered over his shoulders so muscular and wide, down to his arms, which used to hold her so gently and which still had the ability to touch her in such a devastating way. Her eyes continued down to his torso. He was still in excellent shape and her eyes took in the contoured lines of his stomach and chest. Kira momentarily closed her eyes fighting the sudden urge to run her fingers over that lean body.
She flicked her look back to his face as his eyes had slowly begun to open, blinking in confusion on seeing her looking down on him. He smiled softly, the way he used to and with a small groan Kira had found herself leaning forward and kissing those wonderful lips. He had remained still for the second her lips had touched his before she had pulled back, instantly realising what she had done. She had felt the shock of her actions from him and a feeling of complete mortification washed over her. What the hell was she doing she asked herself in panic, this man was now the enemy. Looking down on him with a look of complete confusion and embarrassment, he had captured her eyes with his. The surprise on his had quickly disappeared replaced by a smouldering look, and moving both hands to cup her face he had pulled her head down to meet his, his kiss soft and searching.
Any thoughts of holding back from him were soon gone, as her body exploded into a thousand fragments of light which sent her head spinning. She moved her hand to touch his hard chest, her splayed fingers gently brushing against his skin. As his kiss deepened his tongue explored her mouth, and gently stroked her tongue awakening such erotic memories, causing her hand to move along his body, her fingers enjoying the feel of him below her. As her hand reached the waist of his pyjamas he had groaned softly before snaking an arm around her waist and pulling her even closer against him to allow him to roll himself to lay her on her back below him. Pulling his mouth from hers, he had looked down on her beautiful face, her eyes closed as she lay quivering below him. His eyes travelled down her body taking in the way her hard nipples stood erect against the material of the small silky top she wore. Moving his mouth down to them, he had gently nibbled one, causing her to instantly arch against his as she gasped with surprise and pleasure. With his other hand he had pulled the top from over her head, so that he could once again look down on her wonderful body, admiring the swelling of her breasts, which stood so invitingly at that moment, to the slender waist which flared out to perfect hips. Her long shapely legs lay slightly open and he felt the desire for her rising strongly within him.
Her eyes had half opened watching him as he looked down on her and despite her head screaming at her to get away her body lay still below him wanting to feel him on her. As his head once more moved down to suck in another nipple she groaned gently which became a gasp of such need as one hand had slid inside her small panties and his long finger had entered her. As they had began to explore her she couldn’t stop her hips from moving with him. With a small triumphant laugh his mouth had once again returned to hers, to kiss her more passionately, his tongue mimicking the actions of his finger.
Kira could feel herself sinking under the sensations he was releasing within her and her hands on his back had become more sure as they stroked him back. She moved her hands below the silky material of his bottoms her hands caressing his buttocks, causing him to moan, while still raising her high with his fingers. Pushing the bottoms down as far as she could, she then used her feet to remove them from him altogether, leaving him completely naked against her. Now his throbbing manhood lay against her leg, so large and erect. He pulled his lips from her mouth to kiss along her cheek and up to her ear where he gently licked her lob sending shivers throughout her whole body, which was already on fire with such a need for him
“Touch me” he whispered gently into her ear, his voice soft and sensual.
Moving her hand around she had taken him into her hand, feeling his whole body shudder as her fingers had moved up and down against the silky hardness of him. He had not expected her actions to raise him so high as to threaten to climax under her touch, and at that moment he had to possess her. Pulling the panties roughly down and over her legs he had removed them as her legs had opened to invite him. As he raised himself to enter her, a small fragment of sense had managed to float to the surface of her mind so full of passion and desire
“Stop…wait….I’m not on the pill” she managed to blurt out her voice panicky while still full of need
Wordlessly he had reached over her to retrieve the protection she needed and after making himself safe had once more lain over her. This time he had entered her, hearing her gasp as he pushed his whole length into her, feeling as sh
e squirmed uncontrollably under him. Her breathing uneven as her fingers had pulled on his shoulder and biting his lip, feeling the wonderful sensations being inside her had rose within him, he had stayed still within her fighting the need to erupt. Holding back he had begun gently to move in short motions which were driving her crazy below him. He knew that she had lost all sense and could feel her tensing as with a loud cry and her whole body shivering she had climaxed below him. He could feel her beating around him and with relief he had began moving more deeply, with each stroke feeling his body move towards the ultimate release which when it came saw him crying out with her as he lost all connection with his body as his head span the sensations so wonderful they left him weak as they swept over him.
Kira lay below him, feeling his heavy body over hers, the feel of him so pleasurable as were the tremors which still invaded both of their bodies, until finally he had rolled from her his eyes closed. The two lay side by side for several seconds in silence lost in their own thoughts, both still fighting to catch their breath. It was Craig who eventually rolled onto his side to look down on her, his eyes once more cold causing her heart to sink
As he lifted a lock of her hair to gently run it along her check and down her neck causing her to shiver he had drawled
“Good morning”
She had bit her lip, looking up at the ceiling her self disgust at her inability to hold back from him written all over her face. He had laughed gently
“Don’t worry about it Kira, we always were good together in bed”
She had thrown him an evil look, which made him laugh even louder. Moving her head to the side away from him she fought to control the feelings thrashing around inside her at that moment.
“Go to hell” she bit out
He had chuckled
“Is that were you think you are” he asked gently, all the time still tickling her body with the lock of her hair.
Kira lay silently, and it was only when his fingers had pulled her head around to look up at him that she had responded
“Yes”
He had smiled back
“Good”
Then his head had once again lowered towards her mouth his intentions very clear. Kira however, had moved quickly to slide across the bed to escape him, but with a chuckle his arm had quickly moved out to pull her back
“Where are you going” he asked lazily
“Away from you” she had responded angrily
Craig tutted “mmmmm……..I don’t think so……..I’m not finished with you yet” he said sensually against her ear
Kira had shivered, her body once again betraying her. He was aware of the way she reacted to him and laughed gently
“See Kira, I knew you could do it…..I’m proud of you”
She wanted to at that moment wipe the arrogant smug look from his face, but could feel herself sink once again into the abyss his touches could take her to.
“No…please” she whispered as her eyes gently closed as his mouth once again took hers so softly.
“Oh…yes” he whispered gently against her mouth before taking it once more his tongue flicking inside her in such a devastating manner as to cause her to moan loudly and wrap her arms around his neck. While he kissed her his hands moved over her body re-familiarising himself with every curve and contour from her pouting breasts to the moistness between her legs. Kira could only whimper at the way he stocked the fires within her with his searching probing hands, not willing or able to stop him.
“I wonder if you still taste the same” he whispered gently, before moving quickly down her body until he lay between her legs, his hands wrapped around her thighs holding her open. She groaned “please…no Craig” she pled to no avail as his mouth found the softness between her legs and his tongue penetrated her to a loud gasp of pleasure.
She bucked beneath him as his flickering tongue licked and thrust deep inside her until with loud cries she began to pant as her whole body became rigid and she erupted below him. He could feel the waves of pleasure as she cried out oblivious to anything else other than the sensations which were ripping through her whole body. Finally as she became still below him he had slid back up to her. She looked confused and totally shaken with the experience and he had kissed her lips allowing her to taste his possession of her on his tongue.
His triumph was however short lived as the old Kira rose from the ashes of that fire he had raised within her and this time it was his turn to gasp in surprise and pleasure as her hand found the hardness of him and began to firmly stroke him as he lay on his back allowing her to touch him to such wondrous effect. When she raised herself over him and began to gently lick him with her tongue it was he who had bit back the moans, groaning gently. He could feel her small tongue flicking over him and his hands had snaked through her hair as his hips had moved against her encouraging her to take more of him into her small soft mouth. She teased him to such lengths that it had not taken long for him to cry out to her to stop and holding him in her hand she had brought him to that final climax watching as he had thrown back his head his face showing the full force of his orgasm. Panting hard and begging her to stop as she continued with her movements, it was her turn to move up to his lips and kiss him so that he could taste himself from her.
As his breathing returned to normal he had looked deeply into her eyes, this time with no coldness in them, but the gentleness which had always been there in the past. He pulled her into his arms kissing her deeply. With a soft laugh which was reflected in his eyes he had said gently
“Now I could get used to this kind of wake up call” to which she had chuckled back, her eyes laughing back into his.
“Craig” she began her voice soft and low “I need to tell you...”
At that moment her mobile phone had rang silencing her. Sitting up she grabbed it from the night stand frowning as she read the caller ID. With a worried look at the man beside her she answered.
“Hi sweetheart”
Lying beside her she sensed his body stiffen
“Goodnight…. ”
After a few seconds passed
“I’ll phone in the morning ….. I love you”
As she closed the phone over she looked at him her eyes guarded.
His face had lost the softness which she had seen only a moment ago to be replaced by the same contemptuous expression he had used on her since they had met only two days ago.
“Who was that” he asked softly
Looking away she bit her lip not knowing what to say
She felt the covers being thrown roughly aside as he leapt up retrieving the pyjamas which now lay on the ground. Her eyes flew to where he stood pulling them back on. Seeing him standing there his broad shoulders bronzed and still slightly covered in sweat with his wash board stomach bare she swallowed at how sensual he looked. Her body still quivered with the sensations he had erupted within her and she wanted more.
“Craig…” she pleaded her eyes filling with tears
“Dammit Kira” he bit
His eyes blazed down on her his voice once again cold and hard
“Save me the waterworks sweetheart. Don’t worry I’m not interested in telling your boyfriend about us... Poor sod does he realise what a damned liar you are”
Kira looked totally devastated. Pulling her legs up to her chest she hugged them like a small child, with her hair falling around them.
“Craig” she begged “It’s not what you...”
“What I think” he finished his voice mocking her. He came back to the bed grabbing her by the shoulders and leaning down kissed her roughly on the lips. His kiss was hard and punishing, and as he pushed her from him she brought her shaky hand up to touch her bruised mouth.
“I’ve got work to do, do what you want but stay out of my way” his eyes colder than she could ever have thought they could be stared angrily down on her
“It really does run in your family doesn’t it” he hissed
“Wh…what does that mean” sh
e asked in a quivering voice, shocked to hear him mention her family, she had never mentioned any of her family before, but he had already left the room slamming the door behind him.
She buried her head in her knees and the tears fell, Sobs racking her body. It took her over an hour to recover enough to stop her legs from shaking to enable them to carry her to the bathroom where she stood under the luxurious shower letting the water pummel her body. Closing her eyes she could still feel his hands on her and inside she ached. For three long years she had pushed down the feelings he had fired in her but now Kira realised that the love which she had kept locked up so deep within her had escaped and was now filling her heart, mocking her stupidity.
She remembered how he had just cut her dead. With no warning one day he just refused to take her calls. She had tried writing to him but all her letters were returned unopened. She had been totally destroyed and it had been Bill and Marissa who had helped her through that terrible time. When he had forced her to come with him she had determined that she would keep her emotions locked away and not let him make her feel the way he had before. However, their love making had rekindled those feelings and now her heart was falling apart with the hurt which invaded every part of her body.
Tears mingled with the water and she stood there for what seemed like hours, before finally managing to pull herself together. As with the first time he had broken her heart she had somebody who would get her through it, somebody who would fill that gaping hole he had left. A soft smile found its way onto her lips as she gathered herself for the next few days. She knew that she could do this because when she got home everything would be OK.
Fishing out her bikini Kira decided to relax by the pool, not wanting to stay in the room, the scene of their recent lovemaking and there seemed little else to do. Grabbing her books and other equipment she had made her way down to the large pool beautifully set within the lush tropical garden in which they had sat drinking lemonade the previous afternoon.
