Provocative?

The complaint, however, was very different from his gesture as he held her possessively into his arms, snuggling the girl against him.

Cassie wanted to talk. His arms were trapped in an even more enveloping caress. Was it always going to be like this? She was stunned by the way he teased her. She wanted him to forget about unhappy control. She let herself be quiet and hurt.

-What's it? -Richard noticed the woman shrink in her arms.

-Because?

The simple question took Richard by surprise. He had been asking himself why. It was the realization that Cassie had lost her virginity... Was that what bothered him so much?

-Would any man serve to take virtue from him? I can offer pleasure...

Cassie stared at him, amazed. She hadn't thought of that. It was clear that she had no reason to try to lose her virginity to just any man. She had been with him after all. It made a lot of difference.

-Is that what you think? she asked, shocked.

A long silence made him uncomfortable. She sensed his frustration with the question. It was absurd. She went up in flames at his simple touch.

- I want an answer.

-Of course not!

Richard sighed, his hand delving into her hair.

-Why don't you... I want you to make it yours, Rick. - Cassie complained softly.

Perhaps he should consider Michael's suggestion. hells! Wedding? Just the thought of them made her shiver to say a damn no.

It also meant children. He didn't like children twice. They were noisy, they were too much work and they cost money. Ah, babies smelled like milk... And the crying... A man could go crazy like that... Two! Two at once! He was feeling kind of insecure.

-You are my girl. Her voice was loud and determined as she took a deep breath, snuggling closer against her. - It's good to remember that. No man will ever touch you like that.

He faced a dilemma. He didn't know what to do. It wasn't in her wedding plans. Not the way she spoke. He was the kind of man who liked everything in control. When such an important opportunity arose... a career in the Armada. Only no man would approach her. Cassie wasn't in favour of marriage either. Will was going to kill him when he found out. It was hell to notice how men looked at her.

The caress was light and teasing. The man was simply sucking her lip. A new sensation welled up in her body, making her blood rush. Our! Never before had she imagined that a kiss could be like this.

His smile was sexy and triumphant. Suddenly, she was feeling embarrassed. She might as well carry it on. She hadn't expected the kisses left on her neck… She was dizzy like that.

She sighed low. Soon after, Richard sought the intumescent mouth in a kiss more hot and intense, his tongue lightly and slowly starting to tease her. God! What was he doing?

-Do you have any idea what I'm going to do with you, Miss Independent? - he moaned hoarsely. - I'll taste you whole...

The words were… Ah, mercy. How seductive his words were to the point of taking her breath away!

- I prefer to be called Rick, my sweet. The hoarse whisper was accompanied by a groan as Faith found herself shamefully exposed to his eyes.

-No!

-Rick! Go call me Rick!

With his eyes fixed on her, his hand reached up to her breast gently.

-That's your low blow!

- They are really beautiful. They fit perfectly in my hand.

Cassie bit back a stunned groan. No maid had commented on any of that. She felt her breasts harden as his fingers circled the nipples. Surprised, she noticed that the man was slowly leading her towards another bed with a high headboard.

She closed her eyes breathlessly and with ragged breaths. Our! He was… she squirmed uneasily. He gently suckled one of her breasts while another hand continued to stroke along with the other. An unfamiliar heat rose through her entrances. She noticed the dampness more disconcerted than...

"I won't compromise your virtue, but I never turn down a challenge either, my lady. I believe you will agree with me that I have some experience in the matter. We can try ropes, how about... Or handcuffs...

She continued with breathless action. Her breasts received the impact of calloused fingers in caresses that made her sigh. She had never expected that feeling. Her body felt like it agonized under his command as the hapless man revelled in the teasing.

-Rick, please... I...

-I think I can make her come like this. It's a magnificent sight of you squirming like that in my bed. She saw that it was not that hard!

-Cheater!

-Opportunist. With you, anything goes because of stubbornness. I'm a saint, you know?

--Well, I think it's good not to behave like one now.

Cassie tipped her head back on a groan. What was happening?

The teeth clenched around her nipple tugged and coaxed. He showed no intention of stopping. The light caress became more demanding. She could see the way he was aroused, his mouth around the soft flesh tasting and delighting.

Her body was shuddering uncontrollably in a furious wave when he returned to seek her mouth, hearing her moans, his tongue coaxing a sensual promise. His hand began a dangerous trail, down her stomach to her hips, stopping at the waistband of her pants.

My God! He intended what? She took a deep breath, unable to hold her breath, her body melting.

-Rick... what... No! - Cassie protested very awkwardly.

He was between her legs, like hands tugging at her pants leaving her fully exposed to her eyes. She was going to protest. His fingers slipped inside his pants, reaching for her with disconcerting intimacy. Right there. His sudden hesitation made her look at him doubtfully. She watched Richard close his eyes with a hoarse groan and gasp for breath. She tried to push him away with all her might and stopped squirming.

Compassion! The man caressed her right there, in caresses that made her gasp. She let out a low, ragged moan as she felt him touch her more intimately with his fingers—inside her. Again and again. On and on, moving even harder as her moans were lost between his sighs.

- Very sensitive, ma'am. I think you'll agree that I have some experience!

Richard took a deep breath. Her moans of pleasure echoed through his body. She was fantastic. The feeling of touching her… was exceptional. What was he doing? Because that was total madness. He continued to kiss her, encouraging the girl to reciprocate. Even more aroused, he unzipped his pants, releasing his fully rigid manhood, fighting the urge to delve deeper into his body in a single thrust.

Damn!

He was behaving like a little boy. He needed to feel her hands caressing him. Seeing her react so naturally and surprised to her caresses made him smug. He could smell her and her arousal holding back the urge to taste her or he wasn't going to keep control. She was completely irresistible, writhing under his body. He couldn't control himself.

The girl was excited, ready and squirming under him. It was enough to just possess it. Just the thought made him experience stings in his groin. He wanted her. He had never been so excited that he almost lost control. Her face flushed and flushed with dilated pupils was a temptation. She was panting.

-I want you to touch me, Cassie.

She stared at him open-mouthed, looking at him for the first time. God! He had never expected a man to be like this... He was big. Loud and... Her sudden outrage was followed by his wicked grin.

Richard closed his eyes in anticipation and waited with a smile of pleasure. It was a challenge, but what little he knew of Cassie knew that the girl would not fail to respond to his provocation. He held a tense breath. Her hand gripped him, closing around him inexperienced. He was about to show him how to please him when a loud groan escaped his hoarse throat.

The girl was just... God! She couldn't believe it.

This! Dammit, Cassie!

Her inexperience was indeed exciting. Richard grunted, breathing in a hard gasp. The girl teased him with her mouth just as she had done with her breasts before. He groaned harder still feeling her teeth as he gripped her hair revelling in the arousing sight of her.

The slow torture was accompanied by a satisfied smile from her. She liked to show that she could be unpredictable. Richard held his breath-holding back an orgasm. He watched her confidence build, bringing him deeper into her mouth. It was really surprising to see her like that. Excitingly realized how delighted she was.

- Cassie. - He moaned louder. - My sweet... will make me come like this...

Damn.

The hard member in the female mouth became the investor. Richard was moaning with pleasure and panting.

Cassie!

The young woman looked at him proud to see him panting. Richard understood her satisfaction in showing that she could be as bold as he was in the war between the sexes. And rightly so. God! She wasn't shy at all. She was too bold.

-Still about the wedding?

-Who said I was marrying you? Mister Richard! Didn't you believe I was going to call you Rick, love? You know what? Keep your precious money.

-Let's be practical then. I'm innocent in this mess. I think it's good to accept marriage. Or I will be arrested.
