The reflection of the stars and moon danced on the rocking water. Helplessly Sadie closed her eyes to its mesmerising glitter, only to be subjected to the even more mesmeric effect of Leon’s kiss.
She could feel her whole body responding to its passionate demand as she arched up on her toes and pressed herself into him. Her bare breasts were rubbing against his chest, her nipples so aroused by their contact with his body that fierce spirals of sensation coiled from them to flicker like lightning through her.
Their bodies were slickly wet from the pool water, but the heat inside her was generating another kind of wetness within the swelling lips that protected her sex. And not just a wetness, but an ache. Such an ache that she found herself wrapping her arms even more tightly around Leon’s neck as she ground her hips into him in open female demand. Her body ached—hurt even—with her need for him.
‘You want me here…now?’ she could hear Leon demanding thickly as he wrenched his mouth from hers.
Deprived of contact with his mouth, Sadie began to kiss and lick her way along his throat, savouring every taste of him. When she reached his jaw she ran her fingertips experimentally over the shaved line of his beard, exhilarated by the sensually rough feel of him.
His sex, when she touched it, would feel just the opposite—smooth and sleek, the skin tight where it strained over his erection.
Her whole body began to burn and shake, and she made a small, very female growl low in her throat as she nipped urgently at Leon’s ear.
Did he really need to hear her say the words? Couldn’t he see? Couldn’t he feel what was happening to her?
She slid her hands into his hair and tugged it until he once more bent his head towards her.
Against his lips she told him fiercely, ‘Yes. I want you. Yes, here—and yes, now!’
She punctuated each word with a kiss, gasping as Leon cut off her breath with her last word, taking her mouth with a savage primitive hunger that sent her blood roaring through her veins and made her weak with reciprocal longing.
His hands were touching her everywhere. Stroking her shoulders, her arms, cupping her breasts and then kneading them with loving attention until she was shuddering pre-orgasmically with hot rivulets of pleasure.
The feel of the pads of his thumbs against her nipples made her cry out—a low, guttural sound that had his hands slipping down, one to grasp the side of her waist, the other stroking over her stomach and then lower, parting the swollen lips of her sex and stroking against her wet eagerness.
At no time in her life had there ever been anything like this! There never had been and never would be again, Sadie acknowledged dizzily as her body responded to Leon’s sensual stroking touch with violent, almost climactic little shudders of pleasure.
Instinctively she reached for him, clasping him in her hand, her eyes widening in shock as she realised that she could not fully encompass him.
He felt hot and hard, his sex swollen. Shockingly, she had a sudden savage, surging ache of need to have the feel of him against her lips, to caress and explore him, slowly and thoroughly, but she knew her own body wasn’t going to wait for much longer.
As though she had verbalised her urgency and need to him, Leon suddenly grasped her by the waist and lifted her against him.
Eagerly Sadie opened her legs and wrapped them around him, gasping with pleasure as she felt the first thrust of him within her, urging him to move faster and deeper as she clung to him, offering the full pleasure of her body.
The water around them was pounding against the side of the pool in increasingly fast waves, but Sadie wasn’t aware of the movement of the water, only the rhythm of their bodies as they rocked together in frantic, desperate need. She could feel the tight circling of her orgasm beginning, her stomach and her thighs tensing as she reached for it, crying out her pleas and praise to Leon.
She could see the rictus mask of his face above her as he drove harder and deeper into her eager flesh. Voluptuously it tightened around him, increasing the intensity of their pleasure.
‘Yes…Yes!’ she moaned. ‘Yes. Just like that, Leon…just like that…Mmm…yes. Just—’
The broken sob of her voice was suspended as her whole body tensed and then exploded in a fierce succession of rhythmic contractions.
She could feel the hot surge of Leon’s own release pulsing into the warm darkness of her body.
Release, bliss…peace…
She could feel how much she was shaking as she clung to Leon, knowing she was not actually capable of standing on her own two feet.
She felt his lips brush against the dampness of her face.
‘Tears?’ he whispered. ‘I hope they are tears of pleasure?’
‘Do you need to ask?’ Sadie challenged huskily.
He lifted her out of the water and put her on the side of the pool. Still trembling in the aftermath of her orgasm, she watched as he hauled himself out.
‘Stay there,’ he ordered her gently.
Dreamily she watched as he went and picked up her discarded robe, returning with it and wrapping her in it.
‘Time for bed,’ he told her softly, and then he swung her up into his arms and carried her inside.
CHAPTER EIGHT
‘BUT this is your bedroom,’ Sadie whispered, after he had pushed open the door and carried her over to the bed.
‘So it is!’ Leon agreed softly. ‘Where else did you think you were going to spend the night? Unless, of course, you’d prefer to sleep alone?’
Bravely Sadie met the look he was giving her head-on. No way was she going to pretend that what had just happened between them meant nothing to her, had simply been a mere sexual indulgence.
‘I want to sleep with you,’ she told him huskily.
‘And I certainly want to sleep with you,’ Leon told her back, only just managing to restrain himself from adding for the rest of my life.
He hadn’t b
een able to believe what was happening when she had come to him in the pool. Just thinking about it now made his body start to harden again.
‘I need a shower,’ Sadie whispered. ‘The pool water…’
‘I need one too,’ Leon replied, giving her a smokily sensual look as he leaned down towards her and grasped her hand, pulling her gently to her feet and informing her, ‘The bathroom’s this way, and the shower is plenty big enough for two.’
Sadie knew that he had felt the small quiver of excitement that ran through her body because he turned to look at her, his gaze fastening on her mouth and then dropping very deliberately to her breasts, where her nipples were flaunting their arousal.
He was right about the shower, she noted as she stepped into the bathroom. The owners of the mas had obviously spared no expense in equipping this room. It was larger than her own, with a separate wet area which housed a purpose-built shower.
The water in the pool had left her skin feeling slightly tight and dry, and it was bliss to step into the shower and feel the body-height jets pumping warm, clean water against her skin.
‘Want me to do your back for you?’
There was a look in Leon’s eyes that made her whole body tingle with excitement. The shower was designed so that it was perfectly possible to wash one’s own back, but Sadie had no intention of pointing this fact out to Leon…
She nodded her head and turned her back to him.
The silky-soft feel of the expensive body mousse Leon was massaging into her skin made her sigh in appreciative pleasure. The resultant foam slipped down her legs and floated on the tiles. His hands were moving lower now…beyond her waist. Sadie held her breath and closed her eyes. Her whole body was quivering with expectation and longing. Now that it knew the pleasure Leon would give it, it wanted him all the more.
