Jennifer’s hands in his.
Ana remembered the soft tones Stavros had used earlier with Jennifer and glancing in his direction, tried to get a reading on him. It was hard to tell exactly what Stavros was feeling, though his warm eyes were now a little cooler. As if sensing Ana’s gaze, his deep dark eyes slid toward her face. Ana blushed at being caught staring at him but she gave him a small smile. His gaze softened, one side of his mouth tilting up into a half smile and he nodded his head once before Ana turned her attention back towards Jennifer and Rick, where they were hugging again.
Jennifer quietly glided over to Stavros and Rick moved over to stand next to Ana. “I don’t know about any of you but I am exhausted from all of the information. I haven’t been this tired since that night…” she trailed off and Stavros placed his arm around her shoulder.
“Please, let me walk you back to your room.”
“Stavros, I’ve lived here long enough to know where my room is.” Jennifer teased, but even as she said that, she leaned in closer to his body. “But I’ll indulge you tonight, my mind is muddled and my bearings may be off. Given the time, my good friends, I say we make it a brunch day tomorrow? Say between ten thirty and eleven?” Everyone nodded agreement and started to leave the sitting room.
“May I escort you to your room, my lady?” Ana was surprised when Rick squeezed her shoulder and then held out his hand. Feeling confused and dazed by the night’s events, Ana could only nod and take Rick’s hand. They walked down the corridor without saying a word and all too soon found themselves at Ana’s door.
“It’s a little chilly tonight, would you like me to start a fire to take the edge off?”
“No thank you. I’m so tired that once I’m bundled under the covers, I’ll be out like a light!”
She turned as she was speaking the words and found herself standing right in front of him. She only had a second of thought before Rick leaned down and kissed her. It was a soft, tentative kiss, as though he was unsure as to whether Ana would pull back and slap him or allow him to continue kissing her. When she didn’t pull away, he deepened the kiss, pulling her closer to him.
Ana was pleasantly overwhelmed. She hadn’t felt this spark, this strong chemistry that turned into desire since Austin. She vaguely recalled Rick’s words the previous night that it could be just as intense with a second soul mate, but different.
She felt the start of a giggle in her throat at the thought of Rick being her soul mate, before it turned into a moan when she felt his tongue caress her lips, softly asking for permission. When she complied, he demanded more from their kiss, aroused and enflamed from the passion of this cool demeanor business woman. He gently grabbed the nape of her neck, tentatively pulling her to him, away from the wall. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she stepped closer to him, molding her body to his before she began worshiping him with her hands, touching and exploring everywhere.
The scent from his heated body aroused her even more, seemingly her own personal aphrodisiac and her hands began to rove lower on his body. She felt the contours of his defined back and followed them down to his buttocks, hesitating only a moment before moving down his thighs. She tried to focus on his body, what it felt like, what it smelled like but his lips and his tongue left her dizzy, being vaguely aware that everywhere her hands touched, his body was hard. She wanted more, needed more and could only focus on the desire to have him, she felt over heated and knew only Rick could diminish her fire.
Rick knew the situation was getting out of control and fast. He had kissed her out of curiosity to ebb the fever that swept through him every night, hoping to diminish his desire but never imagined the depth of his reaction to her. Her taste was as sweet and succulent as anything he had ever savored before. Her toned body
