One Night Scandal

She smiled as she watched the absolute pleasure on his face. She had done that to him. Her body had brought him such satisfaction. Closing her eyes, she relished the moment.

He rested on top of her, breathing hard. As his breathing slowed, he nipped her shoulder with his teeth. She smiled at the sensation of his teeth on her skin. While enjoying the time with him, she knew if he were like most gentlemen, she must account for her actions.

“Sophia,” he said, then kissed her neck again.

“Hmm?”

“Why?”

“I wanted you, Nico.”

He lifted his head and stared down at her. “We only just met this evening.”

She smiled at him slowly, seductively. “And you have never wanted a woman you just met?”

“That is completely different.”

“Why? Because you are a man?” She arched a brow at him. “Women can’t feel the same desire a man does?”

He rolled off her and lay back on the bed. “It is different for a woman. Especially a virgin.”

“Is it? And you would know this how?”

“Women want emotions involved in the act. Not just a quick rutting like a man.”

She laughed softly and rolled on her side. “Then why after just looking at you, did I want you? I certainly do not love you. Nonetheless, I still wanted you tonight.”

He turned on his side so they were face to face. “Can you honestly tell me that this meant nothing to you?”

“Of course, it did.” She skimmed her hand down his strong jaw. “You were my first, Nico.”

Grabbing her hand, he brought her palm to his lips. Little shivers raced down her arms at the contact.

“What if I want more?” he asked.

She stilled and slowly smiled. She had made the right choice. He was supposed to be her perfect match. “We would need to discuss that.”

“What are you hiding, Sophia?” His brown eyes gazed at her.

“Nothing,” she lied. She couldn’t tell him much of anything about her yet. First she needed to see how things proceeded.

He released a resigned sigh. “Can you stay the night?”

“No, but I can stay a few more hours,” she replied, then caressed his cheek with her hand.

“Then we had better make the best use of our time together.”

“Oh?”

“Oh, yes,” he whispered and pulled her on top of him.

Nicholas breathed in deeply, attempting to gain some measure of control over his senses again. He had never experienced a woman like Sophia. He hadn’t known such an exquisite creature existed. After making love with her twice, he wanted her again.

Pulling her close to him, she rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. Perhaps he could change her mind about leaving. He tugged the coverlet back over their naked sated bodies.

There were so many questions he wanted to ask her, but he wondered if she would even answer them. For whatever reason, she’d wanted to experience a man. He supposed the fact that he saved her life might have played into the decision. But he hoped that wasn’t the only reason.

She lifted her head and looked down at him. A slow smile lifted her lips upward. His heart increased its speed again.
