The Sheikh's Pregnant Bride (The Jawhara Sheikhs 1)

Kamal hated hearing the plea in her voice, “Shush. Do not worry yourself. It is not good for the baby or for you. I will see that it is taken care of.”

“Really?” Erin smiled to herself and then at Talib. “You will order the water and food delivered to the people?”

“Yes. Please hand the phone back to Talib. Oh, and Erin – do not disobey Talib again. I will be home tomorrow and you and I are going to have a long talk about how a Sheika should behave.”

Erin was so pleased that the refugees were going to get help, she didn’t let his threats dampen her mood, “Thank you Kamal.”

“We will have dinner together tomorrow. Get some rest.”

Erin handed the phone back to Talib and listened as he spoke in Arabic to Kamal. Talib smiled at her after disconnecting the call, “You have done a good thing. Now, I have been instructed to ensure you do not leave the palace again until His Majesty returns. May I have your word that you will not disappear again?”

Erin smiled at him, “Yes. I will stay in the palace until Kamal returns.” Seeing his frown, she corrected her statement, “I mean His Majesty. I promise.”

Talib smiled at her, pleased to see that she was beginning to adapt to her new station. She was going to be a great Sheika.

Chapter 17

Kamal returned to the palace and was pleased to hear Talib’s report about the situation in the refugee camp. The water trucks and food deliveries had been well received and the early reports from the neighboring country were good. Within the week, the refugees would be allowed to return to their homes, and any damage suffered during the fighting would be recompensed.

He was also pleased to see that his woman had honored his request and not caused any more mischief by leaving the palace grounds. He congratulated Talib on corralling his future wife, and even though he was concerned about her lack of attention to her own safety, he was pleased with the reception his countrymen had given her. When Talib informed him that she had been about to bow back to the people, he realized that in addition to a language tutor, she would also need training in proper etiquette.

Entering his chambers, he spied her lying on their bed sound asleep. Walking towards the bed, he removed his shoes and then his outer clothing. He had requested dinner to be served in their sitting room two hours from now. He planned to use the next two hours to get to know his woman better.

Climbing upon the bed, he wrapped himself around her body, bringing her back against his chest and placing a gentle kiss upon her hair. Wrapping one arm around her waist, he let the other settle on her ribs, just beneath the swell of her breast.

Erin dreamt that Kam was holding her once again and snuggled back into his embrace. His unique smell filtered through her senses, awakening her desire as his hand made a leisurely path down her side and the other hand softly molded her breast.

When his lips pressed behind her ear and then down to the sensitive spot where her neck and shoulder met, she moaned in response and tried to turn towards him.

Kamal sucked gently on the skin at the base of her neck, hearing her moan and feeling his body harden even more. She was so responsive when she wasn’t trying to fight him. Feeling her turn towards him, he moved back and helped turn her to her back. Seeing that her eyes were still closed, he placed a gentle kiss upon each eyelid before letting his lips roam down the bridge of her nose to her lips.

Tasting her lips, he gently licked her bottom lip, urging her to open her mouth and allow him access to the dark recesses behind her teeth. When she willingly complied, he took complete advantage. Consuming her mouth, he mimicked with his tongue what he wanted to do with his body. Soon she was writhing on the bed against him, moaning in delight, and trying to get closer.

Erin was on fire. She had dreamt of Kamal often since the night they spent together, but this dream was the best one yet. His hands were everywhere and his mouth was making love to her own. She wanted to crawl inside of him. She needed to be closer to him.

Kamal finally let go of her mouth and pushed himself up so that he could remove her top. He needed to feel her body against his own once again.

Erin felt the cool air wash across her hot skin, causing her nipples to tighten even further. Reaching for her bra straps, he tugged the bra off her as he smiled appreciatively at her breasts. They were perfect. When moist heat enveloped them moments later, she was shocked into awareness. Letting her gaze roam downward, she saw Kamal’s dark head at her breasts and felt his mouth and hands as they paid homage to her body. When he suckled her breast harder, pushing her nipple against the roof of his mouth, she moaned low in her throat.

Arching her back to get closer, she brought her hands up and held his head in place. Kamal growled at her and nipped at her breast before raising his head and capturing her gaze. “Habibti, I hunger for you.”

“I want you to. So much. Please make love to me, Kamal.” Erin needed him like she needed air to breathe.

Kamal gave her a feral smile and nodded his head, “My pleasure.” Removing the rest of her clothing, he quickly shed his own pants and then climbed back atop the bed, pinning her body between his thighs and straddling her waist.

He skimmed his hands down her body, learning her curves and bringing his hands together at the slight curve of her belly. Erin watched his face as he looked at her, loving the softness that invaded his expression as he watched her stomach. Soon her stomach would no longer be flat, and the evidence of their child would be visible to everyone.

“Habibti, I have missed you.”

“I’ve missed you as well.”

Kamal proceeded to show her just how much he had missed her. His body had been ready since he had plucked her from the driveway and needed no further encouragement. Lowering his body against hers, he was pleased when she parted her thighs, making a place for him. He gently brought her desire back up to a point where she was writhing against him once again.

He rained light kisses across her face as he worked his way down. Sliding one hand up her side, he gently cupped one breast as he leaned down to lick her nipple. At the feel of his tongue on her, Erin gasped as she arched her back towards him.

Sitting back on his haunches, he carefully joined them, watching her eyes for signs that he was hurting her. When she wrapped her thighs around his hips he felt his control shatter and lowered himself atop her. At the feel of him entering her, Erin moaned as she grabbed the back of his head encouraging him to continue. Kamal chuckled at her eagerness.

She was so tight, he felt as if his cock was encased in a velvet glove. Finding an easy rhythm, he began to thrust slowly in and out. Soon Erin was matching each thrust with one of her own encouraging him to go deeper and deeper inside her. Moaning into his mouth, Kamal groaned as he held her tighter, thrusting harder and faster. Breaking the kiss, he nuzzled her neck as she moaned his name. Kamal quickly took them both up the pinnacle of pleasure before flinging them both over the edge and taking her to the stars.
