want, everything we so desperately want to give you.”
The thought made her heart pound in anticipation and need. She reminded herself that they were also worth the wait.
Chapter Nine
March 2015
Six months after the cousins appeared at Trois , Marci was scheduled to attend a formal benefit and asked the Ghonims to escort her. She was searching for one of the foundation reports when Carlo let them upstairs.
Answering the door, she begged for five minutes. Glancing at Tyler, she added, “Any problems?”
“Not a thing. We’ve cleared the venue.”
She grinned. “I figured.” To the cousins she added, “I’m ready. I’m trying to find a document Danielle sent over that the head of the foundation asked me to notate. I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”
They stepped into her foyer and her bodyguard closed the door behind them with a soft click.
She turned to rush back to her office when they stopped her by taking her hands and holding them out from her body. Every thought in her mind disintegrated as she came to a true halt and took in their appearance.
As she absorbed their tuxedos and swept back black hair, the cousins dropped their hands to her waist and began to circle her. The warmth of their palms sank through the silk of the custom gown in the same shade as her eyes.
“You are stunning , Marciella.”
“Beyond compare.”
At her back, Nuri kissed her bare shoulder. Fahad’s palm cupped the side of her neck and dropped his lips over hers. The kiss was so different from every other she’d received that she whimpered into his mouth.
He lifted to look at her and Marci realized that she was hugging his waist and gripping Nuri’s forearm across her stomach. He nuzzled his cheek against hers. Then they traded places and Nuri inspired the same response.
This time, more than any other, they claimed her. As inexperienced in such things as she was, there was no denying the intent. For the first time, she allowed men to do so because it was all she wanted. All she’d wanted for months.
Pressed to her back and front, their voices at her ears were a seduction in their own right. “Do not rush. How beautiful you are tonight and every night. I dream of your touch. I could kiss you forever.”
Eyes closed, she rested her head against Nuri’s shoulder. “I wish I didn’t have to go.”
“Will you allow us to take you to our home after the event?” She didn’t know which of them asked the question but she nodded. “No pressure. No expectations. A bit of uninterrupted time with you is all we wish to experience.”
“I want that, too.”
“Arrange for your security to coordinate with ours. They can bunk at the estate.”
“They can clear the house prior to our arrival. We wish no delays when it is time to take you home.”
“We will wait here to avoid distracting you further.”
“You were such a vision that we could not resist.”
They stepped back after kissing her temples and she made her way to her office slowly. Her hands were shaking as she sorted through her “urgent” pile and located the document she needed. She found them standing in front of her floor to ceiling window, staring out at the skyline.
“I found it.” They turned and smiled. “Damn,” she said shakily as she lowered the bound document. “You’re almost too gorgeous to look at.” She grinned. “Almost.”
“Look all you wish.”
“We shall do the same.”
Walking to her sides, they settled her wrap around her shoulders and held out their arms. She took them and they were in the limousine minutes later.
Throughout the gala, the cousins stayed close and she appreciated their patience with some of the other guests who were awed to see the reclusive pair in public.
Requests for their time or contributions to various causes were answered with the business card of their lead assistant.
