“Strip! What are you waiting for?” Alyssa whispered, bringing him out of his daze. He grinned at her and followed her to the bed, hovering over her while his leg pinned her to the bed.
“I’m waiting for you to do the honors.” He winked at her, his face inches away from hers, ready to devour her sweet lips again. He just couldn’t get enough of her. She giggled and pulled the tee shirt off him in one yank, eager to please him. She struggled to unbutton his jeans. “You’re taking ages, Alyssa.” Unable to control himself, he unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them off him leaving him only in a pair of boxers.
“Now, it’s your turn,” she breathed, her fingers already roaming all over his body. His breath hitched as he closed his eyes to feel her touch on him. It felt so heavenly that he was drunk in her touch.
“You’ve made me uncontrollable. Touch me, please,” he pleaded. Alyssa smiled, a sense of power washing over her at seeing his response to her touch. It was the same as it was the first time when they had made love in Singapore. Her hand trailed toward his boxers and she touched his throbbing hardness. He yanked them off in a haste, eager to feel her touch. Pushing him on his back, she pressed her hand fully against his hard shaft while a strangled moan erupted from his throat.
“I’ve wanted this for so long,” he whispered hoarsely as she continued to stroke him. Suddenly, he removed her hand from his erection and pushed her onto her back again. There was an urgency in his actions, a primal need that made him pin her down with his muscular body. His deft fingers quickly eased the clothes off her body till she was pressed flush against him, skin to skin, heart to heart, as close as they could get.
His hungry mouth claimed hers while his hands roamed all over her body. This time the kiss was more urgent, sensual, and erotic, and it did strange things to her body. She could feel an intense need to feel him inside her. It made her kiss him back with equal passion. His hungry mouth explored every inch of her body, making her moan with pleasure. He swirled his tongue around the pebbly, taut peaks of her brea*ts, making her fist into his hair, and arching her body to give him more access.
“I want you, Nicholas. Don’t stop,” she whispered, urging him on. His hand inched down her abdomen towards the sensitive spot between her legs.
“So wet for me,” he whispered hoarsely, licking his lips as he went down to devour her juices. “Spread your legs.” He kissed the inner side of her thighs, urging her to spread them for him to please her. Her heart raced inside her rib cage while a burning need started in the pit of her stomach. She had dreamed of him doing this nearly every night. She spread her legs, and he settled between them, his mouth working on her dripping wet folds. Alyssa’s eyes rolled to the back of her head with intense pleasure as he used his tongue and lips to devour her totally. When his fingers thrust in, she lost her control.
“Oh, Nicholas! Don’t stop, please,” she begged him. Only he could give her so much pleasure turning her into an insatiable and needy woman.
“Come for me baby,” he urged as he increased his rhythm as she finally came undone. Although the intensity of her release had her sated, she was eager for more. They stared at one another, his look so intense that for a moment Alyssa thought she saw the expression in his eyes she was looking for. Was it love? Did Nicholas love her?
“I want more of you,” he whispered, planting small kisses on her neck, along her jawline. Alyssa nodded, and he stretched to pull out a packet of protection. He sheathed himself and parting her legs, slowly entered her. A surge of desire swept over her, and she wrapped her arms around his shoulder as he increased his pace. She tightened her hold on him, not wanting this moment to end. She was his girlfriend, and they were perfect for each other.
He moved in and out of her at a maddening rhythm while Alyssa got wetter and desperate for a release with every passing second. Their grunts and moans echoed in the entire house, reverberating off the walls. Sunlight played inside the room through the windows, and the sounds and smell of the sea intoxicated them. If he could, Nicholas would have kept her imprisoned on their island with him forever. This was the life he needed with her and was afraid to go back. He still hadn’t talked to her about moving in with him. He knew he had to but just didn’t have the courage in case she declined.
His pulsating hard length plunged deep inside her, and with every thrust, she fell deeper under his spell. She knew she loved him for life, but was afraid to confess. What if it all ended? After all, Nicholas had no relationships in the past! She didn’t wish to take that risk!
They both climaxed together, and he kissed her neck and leaned in towards her ear. “Alyssa, who do you belong to?” he whispered hoarsely.
“You, Nicholas.” It was a sweet and simple reply, and it filled his heart with happiness. This was what he had wanted to hear. At last, his mission was accomplished. He had convinced her to be his. He smiled at her when suddenly her stomach grumbled for food.
“Oh, we forgot our breakfast!” he exclaimed, swinging his legs off the bed and pulling on his sweatpants. Alyssa smiled at his enthusiasm, his change of demeanor. It seemed as if he was finally at peace with his life. She wondered if she should ask him for his approval to attend Eva’s wedding. They warmed the food and sat down to eat. Throughout the meal, Alyssa noticed how Nicholas steered clear of topic of the wedding. With the wedding scheduled to happen in the morning, there wasn’t much time left in her hands.
She cleared the dinner and saw Nicholas talking to the caretaker of the villa. Were they vacating the place and returning home? Hope filled her heart, and she waited for Nicholas’s announcement. After ten minutes, Nicholas came inside looking smug and contented.
“So, are we vacating this place now and returning? Your mission is accomplished, after all,” she asked with a smile. Nicholas chuckled, but shook his head.
“What’s the hurry? Yes, my mission is accomplished, but I want to spend more time here with you,” he said, making Alyssa’s jaws drop.
“But weren’t you talking to the caretaker to release the villa?” she asked in confusion.
“No. I extended it by a week.”
“Nicholas, in that case, I have to leave for the day to attend Eva’s wedding.” A nerve clenched around Nicholas’s jaws as he gave her a look of displeasure.
“No Alyssa. You’re not leaving this place.” He strode out angrily, but Alyssa felt frustrated by his attitude. Why was he so adamant about her staying imprisoned here with him? Why couldn’t she attend her best friend’s wedding? She has surrendered to his wishes, giving him what he wanted. Then why couldn’t he just let her go for a day? She followed him outside, determined to have her way.
“Why? I fulfilled your wish. I surrendered myself to you.” Nicholas turned to look at her with a hurt expression in his eyes.
“Was that why you surrendered yourself to me? To escape me and attend your friend’s wedding?” Alyssa’s mouth hung open at his insinuation.
“No. How can you even think of it?”
“Stay with me for another week and prove that you really wish to be in a relationship with me.” Nicholas watched the anger bubbling in her eyes as she glared at him.
“I don’t need to prove anything. It’s just a matter of one day. I’ll come back to you tomorrow morning,” she said, but Nicholas shook his head.
“No, I won’t let you go anywhere, even for a day. Prove me wrong, stay with me.” Alyssa gaped at his impossible demands. How would not attending Eva’s wedding prove anything? Of course, she wanted to be with him and would definitely return here! If only Nicholas would agree and let her go!
“You’re being impossible, Nicholas. I’ll talk to you when you’re in a better frame of mind. Eva’s my best friend and not being able to attend her wedding is really upsetting. I want to be with you, but you cannot force me this way,” said Alyssa, stomping away inside, feeling extremely upset.
Nicholas stood like a statue, unable to explain his behavior to her. He couldn’t tell her the real reason he didn’t allow her to attend Maxwell’s wedding. He had promised Maxwell that he wouldn’t spill his secret!
