Seacrets by Adrianna Wingate Page B

her forehead, then her eyes, her nose, her cheeks and finally made his way back to her full voluptuous lips.
    She felt totally ravished, at this point. Her hair was a tousseled mass of soft black curls that cascaded over shoulders, her lips were swollen from his passionate kisses and she was utterly out of breath as if she'd just run an extreme distance.
    Daniel leaned in again to take her mouth to his and was beginning to become more forceful with his passion. He forced her mouth open wider to take in the breadth of his tongue.               Maura pulled back a bit and moaned her approval. Her passion for him was beginning to match his own. She cupped his face with her tiny hands and with a force to equal his, she kissed him back with a deep tenderness he'd never experienced before.
    Daniel was lost in this moment and it not only surprised him, but had shaken him to his core.  His hands were all over her body, now. He had ventured to every curve and crevice, except for one.
    Daniel took in a deep breath, and slid to her side. He arched himself up on one elbow and looked down into her eyes with fierce determination. Instinctively and without hesitation Daniel began to speak to Maura in Gaelic, as though they had always done so. He whispered to her how truly beautiful a woman she is, “speirbhean is ea tusa, Maura” then he bent to  place hot kisses on her breasts and then came back up to slowly run his tongue along her bottom lip.
    Bre athless, Maura replied, in kind that he is the pulse of her heart “Mo chuisle, Daniel, A chuisle Mo Chroi.”
    Daniel stopped himself for a moment , and then in a soft ragged tone he whispered into Maura’s ear. “I know this is a new experience for ya, Maura, and I don't want ta go any further without ya permission, but I'm beggin' ya not ta deny me.
    Maura swallowed hard, and then spoke her words of consent."Captain, I'm not askin' ya ta stop" she spoke in a low throaty tone.
    Her acquiescence of his request drew a sexy half grin upon his face.
    "Now woman, don't ya think the formalities are a bit ridiculous considerin' that we're bein’ so intimate? Please love, call me by my given name."
    Maura touched his face and a sequence of emotions, Daniel had never felt before, washed over him as if this were the first woman he’d ever made love to.
    In a sexy, throaty tone Maura replied, "Oh Daniel, I do not wish for this night ta end. You’ve awakened in me all the passions I have only dreamed of. I’m wantin’ ya ta take me. I'm not afraid." Maura ran her delicate hand up to caress his muscular shoulder, then leaned in to lay her warm kiss upon it.
    Daniel felt a shiver go down his spine when her warm moist lips fell upon his skin. He pulled back from her for a brief moment and looked deep into her eyes. "Maura I must know for sure, for I've only guessed ‘til now ...Is this your first time with a man?”
    Maura did not speak but nodded her reply, never taking her eyes from his.
    "I want ta try and make this as easy on ya as possible, love." Almost sounding apologetic that he was about to open her up to the kind of satisfaction most women never get to experience throughout their lifetime.
    Daniel had been with many women in his twenty-eight summers, and through trial and error, learned the secrets to making a woman feel fulfilled sexually. This was a gift he so desperately wanted to bestow upon Maura.
    To relax her he kissed her again, while running his hand down toward her stomach and gently caressing her well rounded hip. Then went a little further to her thighs and nudged her legs apart, gently. She responded to his gentle prodding, while he continued to draw her into the experience with his tongue gently caressing the inside of her mouth and playfully convincing her to respond by briefly slipping her tongue into his mouth. Now they were both spellbound, looking deep into one another’s eyes. He pushed further down toward her most private area. She instinctively began
