continually adjusting his angle to increase her pleasure.
Screaming his name, she clutched him tightly as her muscles spasmed. With a groan, Mahil’s pleasure surged through him, as he slammed his pelvis against hers and her muscles continued to contract around him.
He waited until her body had softened beneath his hands before he staggered backwards, finding the built-in bench seat, collapsing on it even as he held her in his arms and murmured words of endearment to her.
He didn’t know if she could understand him, but at that moment, he was beyond caring. They had just shared something amazing and he wasn’t about to let words ruin it. He’d been right about her. She was perfect!
Chapter 10
Mahil cradled Carolyn against his chest, arranging her legs so that she sat across his thighs, her head on his shoulder as she recovered from their recent lovemaking. He used the quiet time to collect his own thoughts, still amazed at the connection he felt to this woman.
She was gorgeous and everything about her appealed to him. Even her sassy independent streak. He liked that she took her responsibilities seriously and was determined to make it on her own, but he also knew how badly that kind of independence could turn out.
When she stirred in his arms, he dropped a kiss on her forehead and then nuzzled her jawline, “Sleepy?”
Carolyn yawned and stretched slightly, “I always seem to be tired these days.” She started to say something else and then stopped herself.
Mahil felt like a door was partially opened and he pushed, wanting her to tell him what was going on in her life. “You work too much.”
Carolyn sighed, “I know, but it’s necessary right now. In a little while I won’t need to work as many hours and I can slow down and concentrate on my schooling.”
“Why wait?”
Carolyn fidgeted on his lap and tried to break free, but he held her firmly in place, “I really don’t want to talk about this right now.”
Mahil nibbled on her ear as he murmured against her head, “Cara, I want to help you…”
“But it’s my responsibility, not yours. You don’t owe me anything. Well, except for a plane ticket home at some point, but my problems are mine. I don’t need your help to solve them.”
Mahil decided to let the matter drop for the moment. Ahmed was in the process of finding out the details of her problems, and then he could confront her with them along with any viable solutions that might exist. Until then, he intended to spend as much time with her as possible. Not fighting.
“So, you don’t want to talk about your problems? Let’s talk about mine.”
Carolyn looked at him and then slowly nodded, “Okay. But I have to tell you I can’t see what problems you could possibly have.”
“Well there is the problem of the date you still owe me. I paid an exorbitant amount of money to spend two hours in your company, and those ten minutes at that run down diner where you work doesn’t count. By my calculations, you still owe me.”
Carolyn visibly flinched before she looked at him and nodded, “Okay. So what do you propose we do about it?”
“Dinner tonight.”
“Alright. That sounds fair,” she agreed.
“Good. At least this way you can’t use the excuse of work to stand me up.”
Carolyn blushed and shook her head, “No, my schedule is all yours.”
“Good. Now, you look as though you could use a nap.”
Carolyn yawned and nodded her head, “It must be this heated water. I’m starting to feel really sleepy.”
“It will do that to you.” Mahil stood up with her and carried her out of the water, walking towards one of the large hammocks hanging between the palm trees. He deposited her in the hammock and then handed her a small pillow and a soft towel. The air in the paradise pool was warm and drying off wasn’t usually an issue.
“Sleep for a while. I will see you at dinner tonight.”
“You aren’t going to sleep as well?” she questioned him.
