thought you said you were going to keep me here until the morning hours, and I kind of liked that thought,” she said, drawing a shuddering breath and stretching leisurely across the crisp white sheets.
Sebastian shut his eyes. A deep groan escaped him. “Oh, baby, what am I going to do with you?” He pulled her to him once again and dropped his mouth to hers. He glided his hands tenderly over her silky skin, and Arielle let out breathless moans as she surrendered to the pleasure of his passion.
Chapter 6
A LITTLE WHILE LATER, Arielle opened her eyes and fell into Sebastian's desire-filled gaze. She smiled wide and lifted her head to press a soft kiss to his lips.
“What time is it?”
“It’s seven-thirty.” He nuzzled her hair and pressed a soft kiss to the tip of her nose. “I want you to go out with me tonight,” he repeated.
“All right, if you insist,” she said and moved into him once again.
“Oh, no, you don’t,” he said grinning.
“Sebastian!” she shrieked as he lifted her out of bed and carried her into the shower. “You have to stop doing that!” she scolded him.
“Doing what, love?” Sebastian laughed blissfully.
“You startle me when you move with that immortal speed of yours.”
“Well, I know you, Arielle. You were not going to get up, and I want to take you out tonight.”
“What could be better than being in bed with me?”
“Oh, baby, trust me. There is nothing better than being in bed with you. However, I have a surprise for you.”
“Oh, a surprise?”
“Yes, a surprise, and that means you can’t try and get me to tell you anything about it,” he said and turned the hot water on.
Arielle smiled and gave into his wishes. He pulled her into his warm, wet embrace and held her to him.
“Where are we going?” she asked, pushing her hair away from her face. His arms tightened around her, and their lips met.
“You can’t ask any questions. I told you, it’s a surprise!”
“I don’t think I can wait.” She pulled back and took a deep breath as she searched his eyes. All she could see was a wide smile that made his emerald eyes look even brighter than usual. He pulled her back into the kiss and held her under the warm water for a long time.
Oh, she thought, W hat a wonderful feeling! She would never tire of being in his arms and surrendering to his burning desires. He finally turned the water off but held her to that kiss. God, he's so beautiful! She would be happy to stay there with him for the rest of her life. Nothing was important to her anymore unless Sebastian was there.
“How do I need to dress for this surprise?” she finally asked.
“I’d prefer you just as you are right now,” he said grinning. His eyes roved hungrily up and down her naked body.
“Okay, then,” she said with amusement. She pulled away from his embrace. “I’m ready.”
She turned and started to leave the bathroom. He moved swiftly and grasped her wrist. He gently pulled her back into his arms. Robust laughter escaped his lips.
“Not on your life, baby. This view is for my eyes only,” he said firmly. Their lips locked in another ravenous kiss that sent waves of passion throughout her body.
“A dress will be nice,” he said.
“You’ll have to let me go if you want me to get ready,” she said, ignoring his protests.
She picked out a light blue dress that enhanced the color of her eyes and a nice pair of high heels. She then walked back into the bathroom to blow dry her hair. Sebastian’s excited expression filled with approval to make her smile. He was already dressed. He had on a white shirt that hugged his muscular body and a nice pair of black pants. It made absolutely no difference what this man wore; he always looked like a mythical god. She marveled at the sight of him, unable to believe that he was all hers.
“I’m ready when you are,” she said, putting the hairdryer down. They walked down to the car. In no time, they were on
