His jealousy and anger ran through Tess. She felt a pang of hope jolt through her heart. He must be able to care, to be able to feel jealousy because she’d danced with another man.
Her emotions were all over the place.
“I’m not leaving this door, Tess. Even if you stay in there all night.”
She wrapped her towel tightly around her then opened the door. If he wasn’t going to run off and leave her, she’d meet him half way. He stood next to the door. His hands rested on either side of the door frame. His hair was mussed while his shirt hung loose exposing the length of his smooth chest. The belt on his pants lay open. He looked like he’d been undressing and decided against it. Several times.
She smiled.
“I’m scared. I’ve never been married before,” she said. Her actions had been childish. They were both adults. He nodded, looking around the room.
“We can take it slow if you want. Your father will be fine as long as we’re married. I’m not going to force you into anything.” He moved towards his closet, his words reminding her why they had married. It was his ultimatum for her father’s freedom. Her father had not even bothered to stick around for the after-party. Erik hadn’t said a word to her after handing her over. She’d served her purpose to him. Her father’s reputation and life hung in the balance of this marriage. Would Duncan really bring charges against her father if she tried to dissolve their relationship? Probably. His reputation for being a ruthless businessman hadn’t come about by being a soft touch.
“Slow is good. Where will you sleep?” Tess tried to remain calm even though her heart was pounding in her chest. He removed his shirt exposing all of his upper body. His arms were thick with muscles. She licked her lips. The pulse between her legs increased. She felt the wet heat of her pussy at the sight of his body.
“In that bed.” He pointed to the bed in the middle of the room.
“Where will I sleep?” she asked.
“In the same bed next to me.”
Her next question dissolved on her tongue as she watched him turn towards her with his shirt off. She’d never seen a man so gorgeous and muscled. He looked hard and smooth to the touch. She was staring, but she couldn’t help it. Her body responded to his unlike anything she’d ever imagined. His arms were strong and defined. No man could look that good by pure genetics.
Her mouth watered, the towel feeling heavy in her fingers as she stared at him.
“Do you like what you see?” His dark gaze penetrated hers. She stared back at him. It took all of her effort to keep her eyes on his face and not on his chest.
It was a really fine chest.
Tess wondered what the next move would be.
She wasn’t use to being with a millionaire or a husband. Barring the towel she was completely naked. It was her wedding night. She stood alone with her husband in his bedroom, and the tension between them mounted.
She waited for him to decide what was going to happen next.
Chapter Ten
Her wet, dark curls curved around her face. Droplets of water ran down her neck in the valley between her breasts. Did she have any idea how tempting she looked standing there before him? All that covered her was a small towel. Such a small piece of fabric, so easily disposed of.
Duncan watched the droplets of water trailing down her body. They left a path he wanted to follow with his tongue. He’d like to lick every inch of her full, delicious body. His cock pulsed as his pre-cum eased out of the tip. He was slick and ready to fuck. Duncan knew he’d have her screaming in pleasure in a matter of seconds. His body tightened, responding to her. He saw the same reaction course through her. Her breasts rose and fell to the deep breaths she took. Her body was screaming at him to go and get her.
He dropped the shirt on the floor as he moved with purpose towards her. Her eyes opened wide, but she didn’t back away. Before she had time to react, he reached her taking hold of her shoulders in his. He claimed her lips in a fierce possession.
It was the one time he understood her. When she reacted like fire in his arms. Duncan knew how to respond to passion. Everything else about her, he didn’t get. Tess responded to his kiss instantly. Duncan knew how to give her what she craved. The heat between them sizzled with each touch. He knew all about pleasure. Tess was top of his list for acquiring. The sooner he got her panting after him the better he’d be.
She curled her arms around his neck bringing him closer to her. The towel was in his way. He knew she’d be soft and warm for him. He accepted every touch as she ran her hands all over him. He cupped her cheek hoping to return the favour soon with his hands all over her. He stroked her cupped cheek, running his free hand through her hair. Duncan liked gripping the length in his fist. He pulled her closer to his body with his grip on her hair. The heat grew between them. Duncan couldn’t find the words to describe what his body was doing. All he knew was whenever Tess was near he needed her like he needed to take his next breath.
She released little moans of pleasure, which only drove him crazy with wanting for her. Duncan deepened the kiss tightening his hold in her hair, pulling on the fistful of hair. This was his woman. His wife. Satisfaction and pride filled him whenever he thought of her as his wife. He wanted her to know who owned her. To mark her skin in a way she’d never forget. His ring on her finger wasn’t enough. Duncan needed more.
He’d be the only man she responded to so long as there was breath in his body. Duncan trailed kisses down her neck to her collarbone, and her moans vibrated down to his cock. He licked her pulse relishing the jump as he nibbled her neck.
Duncan sucked on her neck as hard as he could without hurting her. When he released the skin there was a red mark which he knew would bruise in the morning. He felt a deep male pride knowing she’d have his mark on her body.
His hands moved to her neck as he rubbed the mark with his thumb. Duncan tilted her head to the side for him to get better access to her erogenous zone. Goosebumps erupted on her flesh every time he licked, nibbled, or sucked at the flesh of her neck. Her eyes were closed, but she searched for his lips when he drew away from her body. He met her searching kiss with his lips against hers. He plunged his tongue inside her mouth searching and meeting with hers, loving her mouth the way he wanted to love the rest of her body.
This was the beginning of so much more. Duncan knew he was addicted to her taste and response. Tess undid him, and in ways he’d never thought he’d be able to lose control. Her hands ran down his naked chest then back up. Her touch was light and innocent but making him want so much more. His pants were in the way. He wanted them both naked on the bed.
The need to feel her wet pussy surround his shaft was driving him to distraction.
Duncan wanted to sink his cock deep inside her cunt until his seed spurted inside her.
He pulled back staring into her lust glazed eyes. “I want you,” he said.
“Why?” Her voice was a mere whisper.
“You’re fucking beautiful.” He ran his hand against her back. The towel obstructed the feel of her naked skin. He growled in protest.
“I don’t understand,” she said, her lips full and swollen from his kisses.
He grabbed her hand then laid it against his thick cock, pulsing in his pants. “There is nothing to understand, Tess. You’re a gorgeous woman. I want you. My cock is aching to get inside your body.”
Without saying anything further he unhooked her towel. He watched as it fell forgotten in a heap on the floor. Duncan absorbed every curve cataloguing it so he’d never forget. He ran his hands up her back then down, cupping her ass. She arched her back thrusting her tits up to his face. His mouth watered for a taste of her succulent flesh. His hands moved round to the tops of her thighs. Every part of her was soft to the touch. Duncan moved up past her hips to her waist. Her waist was thicker. He tested her hips with a firm grip and knew fucking her would be a dream. She’d take a good hard fucking. He couldn’t wait to get her on her back or knees. Any position that had him as deep inside her as possible.
He trailed kisses from her lips down to her chest. Her nipples poked against his chest more tempting than anything in his life. Duncan captured one nipple between his teeth sucking the red mound into his mouth. She tasted so damn sweet. Her body shook. Her head fell back as he pulled away, blowing on the wet bud. She cried out when he did the same with the other breast. Duncan was on fire. With one arm around her back, he moved the other to her thigh and lifted her leg up to his waist. He looked down to see her pussy glistening with arousal. She had a thin layer of pubic hair covering her pussy. Her skin was soft and damp from her bath. She smelt and tasted intoxicating to him. Duncan couldn’t get enough of her. By the end of the night, Tess would be his woman in every sense of the word. There was no way he’d let this passionate woman out of his sight without his mark all over her body and his cum dripping out of her pussy.

Tess tugged on his belt and pants. She was naked. He should be naked, too. Duncan let her go to pull the belt out of the loops then open the button of his pants. Her hands were shaking. Any negative thoughts about her body were lost in her need to see this man naked. She felt taken over by lust. A pool of heat had begun in her belly and expanded out to take over any reasoning or thought. She needed to feel all of his body pressed against hers. Tess wanted to be surrounded by him.
