  “So why would one night with me be different?”

  He chuckled. “So far, everything about you is different from the women I’m normally attracted to.”

  “And you’re attracted to me?”

  “You doubt it?”

  She considered him for a moment. “No. Not really. But I don’t really understand why you would be attracted to a woman like me.”

  He looked across the table at her, both of them ignoring their meal as the conversation heightened the tension between them. “You honestly don’t understand, do you?” he asked suddenly.

  Ana wasn’t sure why he’d asked that question. “Not at all. There are so many women out there, many of them would love to have your complete attention in this way.”

  He nodded his head. “And you don’t comprehend why you have caught my attention?”

  She shook her head. “Not at all.”

  He nodded to her plate. “Let’s have dinner. You can tell me about what you’ve figured out this afternoon and we’ll revisit this issue after dinner.”

  She put her wine glass down, knowing that she shouldn’t drink alcohol around him. He was potent enough already. Adding wine to the mix could be dangerous.

  For the next two hours and five delicious courses, they conversed about math and formulas, he came up with other ideas where her skills could be useful and she basked under his approval. The man really was sincere with all of those glances that told her he truly admired her intelligence. A woman loved to be admired, she thought. It was one thing to be admired for physical beauty but when a man liked her intelligence? It was a potent aphrodisiac.

  “And now,” he said as he stood up and took her hand, pulling her up out of the chair, “we’ll talk about why I want you.”

  Ana suspected that this would be a bad conversation at this point in time. She stood up but pulled back, not accepting the hand he was extending to her. “We really can discuss this another time,” she told him, trying to back away from him. He caught her anyway and gently pulled her into his arms. She struggled slightly, testing him, trying to figure him out.

  He wasn’t letting her go. “Ana, I’m going to kiss you.”

  She shook her head, her fingers curling into fists where they rested on his chest. “NO!” she blurted out and jerked out of his arms, panicked at the prospect.

  “No, this isn’t a good idea, Najid. We are not kissing. And we’re not discussing anything. I’m going home and you’re going to…” she wiggled her fingers towards his bed. “You’re going to sleep since you didn’t get much last night.” She backed up a step, trying to put some space between them. “Kissing would be a really bad idea.”

  He continued to stalk her, keeping hold of her hand so she couldn’t escape too far from him. “Why is that?”

  Her mind scrambled, not working at full capacity because…well, because she wanted to kiss him. Badly!

  “Because you didn’t get much sleep last night,” she finally blurted out.

  “I’m not tired,” he replied.

  She glanced around the room. “Because we’re…completely different from each other!”

  He was pulling her closer. “Yes. You’re a woman and I’m a man. Two people can’t get much more different than that.”

  She shook her head. “You know what I mean!”

  He disagreed with her. “Ana, I’m going to make love to you tonight. If you have any legitimate reasons why this shouldn’t happen, speak up now.” He waited a long moment, giving her a chance to reply. “Or if you sincerely don’t want me touching you, then I will back off,” he offered out.

  Ana opened her mouth, more than willing to grab onto that excuse. But he pulled her closer at that moment and she gasped, feeling his body, hard and ready for her, against her softness.

  “Do you want to walk away?” he asked, looking down at her as his hands moved from her hips up her back, pressing her breasts against his chest.

  “Um…” she knew she should tell him that she wanted to leave, that she wanted to run away and hide somewhere. But the way he was touching her, the way her body wanted him to touch her, was making that declaration impossible. “No,” she finally admitted honestly.

  With that one word, he pulled her closer, one hand moving to the nape of her neck and he easily pulled the bands out of her hair that had been keeping her dark, auburn tresses in a braid all day long. The waves tumbled around her shoulders and his hand dove into the tangled mess. “Then shut up,” he told her a moment before he covered her mouth with his, kissing her deeply, more passionately than he had earlier today and every muscle in her body gave in to the temptation of his kiss.

  Ana gasped a moment before his lips covered hers. She should run, she thought. She should push him away, tell him she didn’t want this. She knew he would respect her command if she told him no. An honest no, she conditioned. But this…feeling him kiss her like this…it was better than any ice cream she’d ever tasted!

  She felt him lift her higher but had no concept of what was happening. All she knew was there was something against her back now while he continued to kiss her.

  And then…oh my! Ana gasped when he lifted her legs, his hips moving between her legs! She loved this! Couldn’t move without feeling sharp bolts of pleasure hitting her. Over and over again, she shifted her hips against him. Just like this morning, she needed this pleasure, couldn’t stop! He moved slightly and she whimpered, frantic now for…something.

  “Najid,” she gasped when his hand deftly unsnapped her jeans, his fingers tangling down lower.

  “Keep moving, Ana,” he groaned and nipped against her ear just as his thumb found her nipple. The lace of her bra was pulled away and she shuddered at the new sensations. She ground herself against that hand lower, her hips moving to the rhythm of his thumb against her nipple. When she felt his finger slide into her heat, she almost protested but it just felt too good, too powerful. So instead of telling him to stop, she shifted her hips so that his magical fingers slid deeper into her body.

  Over and over again, her breathing frantic, her movements rushed. Her head was leaning against something hard behind her as she shifted again and again against both of his hands. Nothing mattered except finding that elusive pleasure. Her mouth fell open and she was completely unaware of Najid watching her as she dug her fingernails into the material of his shirt.

  “Let it happen, Ana,” he groaned and pinched her nipple. Ana screamed, arched her back and then…stars! Everywhere there were stars as waves of pleasure surrounded her. She shifted again and again, prolonging the pleasure.

  Ana had no idea how long she was in his arms as she held onto him, but slowly reality came back to her. She opened her eyes to find him looking down into her own, a heat in his eyes that made her breath catch in her throat.

  “That was beautiful,” he growled and lifted her into his arms again. Ana almost cried out when his fingers slid out of her body. But the look in his eyes promised her that he wasn’t finished.

  Carrying her over to the bed, he lowered her to the mattress. “How about if we do that again, but without clothes, this time?” he suggested even as his fingers pulled her clothes off, tossing them to the floor. When she was completely naked, he ran his hands over her body, slowing at her breasts and exploring with those rough, strong fingers that were shockingly tender.

  “Najid,” she sighed, her eyes closing again as she reached up and held his hand over her breast.

  “I love your breasts,” he told her, his eyes watching as her hand guided his fingers. When she pressed his hand against her nipple, he throbbed with the need to press himself into her heat.

  Ripping his clothes off, he kneeled onto the bed beside her. “Open your legs, Ana,” he commanded.

  “No,” she replied back, pressing her knees together.

  He smiled, but the look in his eyes made her stomach quiver. “You’re going to give in to me, Ana,” he warned. Leaning over, he pressed a kiss to the middle of her chest. “You’re going
to give me everything, my beautiful woman. Accept it now.”

  Ana loved the way he felt against her skin but she didn’t want to give in to all of his demands. “I’ve known you for less than one day and you have too much power over me already,” she argued, but then caught her breath when his extremely large hand smoothed up from her stomach to her right breast. She slapped her own hands over his, closing her eyes.

  “Does it bother you?”

  “Yes,” she sighed. And then screamed! His fingers tweaked her nipple, then she felt the mattress give as his large body moved over hers, his lips capturing the peak in his mouth.

  “Why?”

  She shook her head. “Stop talking,” she gasped. “Can’t talk.”

  “Then give me what I want.”

  “No.”

  He chuckled. “Okay, then we’re going to talk.”

  She mumbled under her breath, frustration beating at her. “You talk. I’ll listen.”

  He moved over to her other breast, his hand moving lower. He felt her hips rise against his hand and her stomach muscles tense. “You’re too soft,” he commented.

  She shook her head. “You’re too hard.”

  He laughed at her quip. “You’re too inexperienced at this to start trying to keep up with me, Ana. Give yourself time.”

  She tried to think about why he might have said that, but his hand was moving away from her breast and she pulled his hand back up, her own fingers tangling with his as she moved his fingers over her nipple, showing him that she liked that.

  Najid watched her fingers, thinking she was the sexiest woman alive. “Have you ever had sex, Ana?” he asked, his voice even deeper than before. She was so small and so naturally sensual. He loved her pale fingers intertwined with his own as she moved his hands over her breast, directing him on how she liked to be touched.

  Her mouth opened and closed slightly, her mind on the way his fingers were teasing her sensitive nipple and not on the conversation. She had to focus hard in order to answer his question. “No. Does that mean you’re going to stop?”

  “Hell no!” he snapped, horrified at the very mention of stopping. “We’re not stopping until we can’t breathe any longer.”

  Ana smiled. “I’m there!” but she showed herself to be a liar when she gasped. “Don’t do that!”

  He did it again, tweaking her nipple then moving his lips over the sensitive peak to soothe the ache. “I’ll do whatever it takes to make you lose control, Ana.”

  She bit her lip, not wanting him to know how crazy he was already making her.

  He slid his hand lower. “Don’t try and hide your reactions from me either,” he whispered in her ear. “Because there are parts of you that will reveal the truth anyway.”

  His hand slid down her stomach to that secret place and Ana grabbed his hand, stopping him. “Don’t!” she begged but even as his fingers teased the curls there, she was opening her legs, silently begging him for more.

  She grabbed his wrist, trying to stop him but just as she had moments before, as soon as he touched her, she pressed his hand against her, shifting her hips so that he was hitting that spot.

  He knew what she wanted but he wasn’t giving it to her. Not yet. Not until he had full compliance with her lush body. His fingers tangled lower, one fingers slipping into her heat and he shuddered at how hot, how wet she was. His finger moved in and out of her body, her hand clutching at his wrist while her legs moved wider, her body shifting against his hand. Once again, she proved that she was too sensuous for inhibitions. His eyes moved lower, looking at her pink folds, trying to move slowly so that he could learn about her body, but she was just too beautiful.

  When he couldn’t hold back any longer, he shifted on the bed, moving between her legs. She had only moved her knees far enough apart for his hand but when he shifted, his shoulders got in the way. He pressed between her legs and reached his goal, his mouth moving slowly towards her wet heat. He almost laughed when she screamed at the contact, but his arms wrapped around her legs, holding her in place so that his mouth could do what he pleased. Which was to please her until she couldn’t scream any longer.

  Ana couldn’t believe the heat that she felt when his tongue lashed that area! It was like her body lit on fire but she couldn’t pull away from the flames. All she could do was hold onto the fuse, which happened to be her fingers tearing at his short hair, and ride the waves of pleasure. His tongue, teeth and lips were so good, so talented that she burst into flames so hot, she could barely stand it. Her body was his to command and he played her beautifully, demanding more and more until…Screaming, arching into him and trying desperately to get away while staying as close to the flames as she could were her only option, her only thoughts as that same pleasure washed over her again. Ana couldn’t stop screaming, the feeling was so amazing, so intense. Her voice was hoarse as her body slowed.

  When she finally opened her eyes, it was to find Najid rolling a condom down his erection, sliding his hand up and down that long, magnificent shaft. It was huge and Ana licked her lips. She was both scared and tempted beyond anything she’d ever experienced. “More?” she whispered in awe.

  Najid nodded his head and came down over her, bracing his hands on either side of her head. “Definitely more.”

  Ana nodded, her body tensing but she should have known better. Najid had shown himself to be a fabulous lover so far. When he came closer, his body shifted against hers. Slowly, ever so slowly, he pressed his erection into her body. She shifted her hips, her breath sucking in as she tried to move, tried to adjust to his size and girth.

  “Relax, love,” he soothed, pulling out and then pressing into her, deeper this time. Over and over, he shifted into her body, going deeper each time.

  As soon as he felt that barrier, he pressed carefully deeper, but then stilled when he was buried fully inside of her. He waited, his chest heaving as he tried to allow her time to get used to the invasion. But she was moving her hips, shifting her legs…her knees came up around his waist, her inner thighs softly brushing his hips and he groaned as the pleasure hit him hard.

  Holding himself still over her trembling body, Najid felt a new surge of need and protectiveness hit him at the excitement lighting her pretty, green eyes. “You okay?” he asked, his arms shaking in his effort to hold still.

  Ana felt like she was both being ripped apart and, for the first time in her life, felt full and perfect. It was scary and wonderful at the same time. But then he moved, shifting ever so slightly and her eyes popped open. She looked up at him, her fingers gripping onto his arms. His biceps were so huge, she couldn’t even get her hands around half of each arm, but she didn’t care. All she wanted was to feel this man move like he’d just moved. “Again,” she whispered, need and shyness warring inside of her.

  “Like this?” he asked, his voice raw, rough.

  When he moved, her head snapped backwards. “Yes!” she gasped. “Again!”

  Najid would have laughed with delight, but he was in too much pain. He had to move, had to help her find her climax fast because he couldn’t hold back much longer. She was too tight, too wet and too perfect to hold back.

  As he moved, his hand shifted, his thumb pressing against that nubbin. Over and over, he pressed into her tight sheath, listening to her moans of pleasure as she came closer to that pinnacle. He felt her legs tighten around his waist and knew that she was close, so close. Pressing slightly harder….he watched as she fell over that cliff, her mouth yelling silently as her body thrashed with her pleasure. It was so intensely erotic, he couldn’t hold back his own climax and pounded into her, finding his release and tumbling into oblivion with her.

  Chapter 3

  Darkness! Ana jackknifed up in the enormous bed and looked around. Najid was right behind her, his hand draped over her waist and her body was still humming from the beauty of their lovemaking.

  But she couldn’t be here! She had to get out of this bed!

  More than slightly discon
certed from her activities in the previous hours of the night, she looked around, trying to orient herself. It was a strange room and she hadn’t taken in much of it. Of course, she was discovering that, when Najid was around, she didn’t really see much of anything. He pretty much took over her entire focus.

  She slipped carefully away from him, ashamed that she’d let things get so far out of control. She should have walked away last night. She should never have come to his private area! He had magic hands, she thought, using that as an excuse as to why she’d fallen for his tricks. And the man was very good at overwhelming a woman, not giving her a chance to think.

  She pulled on her jeans but couldn’t find her shirt or her bra. In the end, she just needed to get out of the room as fast as possible, so she grabbed his dress shirt, taking a brief moment to enjoy the smell of his lingering scent in the fabric, before rushing out of the suite. She saw a couple of the guards standing outside of Najid’s suite and stopped, her cheeks turning a bright red since they would obviously know exactly what she’d been doing. Ana had no idea what time it was, but she was fairly certain that it was in the early hours of the morning. What did two people do when they were locked behind closed doors until two or three in the morning? It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out!

  Oh, and it didn’t help that she was wearing his shirt. And no bra!

  She pulled the material closer to her, trying to hide the fact that she wasn’t wearing undergarments, but she suspected the guards had already figured it out.

  Bowing her head, she hurried down the hallway, turning right to get to the administrative area of the building. When she was finally enclosed in her safe, comfortable office, she closed the door and leaned against it, trying to catch her breath.

  Opening her eyes again, she saw all the numbers on her white boards and the atmosphere soothed her once again. Always reliable, math helped her mind to function in a logical manner. She was able to push out all of the issues and just focus on the math. The equations that she’d abandoned yesterday were still waiting for her to solve and she walked over to the white board, picked up a dry erase marker and started working once again.
