there, but he was too big. “You don’t fit…” she said but then he pushed all the way inside of her and she arched her back and screamed out with the pain of his invasion.

Malik held very still, holding himself above her while she adjusted to his size. Every muscle inside of him wanted to move, to feel the friction of her body but he waited. He wasn’t sure what she would do, but he knew that he’d just hurt her and that hurt him.

His hands moved up to her hair, soothing her with soft words and tender caresses while her body shifted underneath his. “Don’t move,” he commanded with a voice even he didn’t recognize.

“I can’t help it. I don’t underst…” she stopped and gasped when he moved slightly and she grabbed his shoulders tightly. “Don’t do that,” she demanded.

But he did and she arched against him once more. “Again,” she pleaded, moving her hips slightly and shivering with the feeling that movement generated within her. “Don’t stop,” she ordered when he slowed down.

Malik thought he might have laughed at her demand, but he wasn’t sure. All he knew was that her body was gripping him with a heat that he couldn’t endure for too long. He lifted her up, moving in and out of her with whatever control he could find within him. And when that didn’t help her, he shifted his hand and pressed it against her nub, bringing her faster to a climax.

She started to grab his hand, but when he obviously hit the right spot, she pressed his hand there and he knew he was doing it right. He couldn’t believe it when she once again shattered in his arms but he didn’t have time to revel in her release because his own just about made him pass out with the intensity of his orgasm.

Chapter 4

Shanelle opened her eyes, looked around and then sat up with a gasp of horror. Clutching the satin sheet to her chest, she looked around, her eyes taking in the enormous room, the decadent luxury and the fact that this was not her own room in her own home. As the sun slowly woke her up, her mind remembered the previous night. The previous long, sensuous night. Over and over, Malik had made love to her. It was almost as if they couldn’t get enough of each other and every time she touched him or he touched her, their bodies just went up in flames until she collapsed in his arms once again.

Shifting around, she was relieved to see that she was alone. At least she didn’t have an awkward first moment to deal with.

She threw the covers off of her legs and dashed into the bathroom to shower. She scrubbed her body clean, trying desperately hard to ignore the tingling as the warm water touched her skin. It reminded her too much of Malik’s touch over the long, erotic hours of the night. Everything he demanded, she more than willingly complied with his commands. The heady sensation of his fingers and his mouth had been too much for her body to ignore.

As she stepped out of the shower, her next dilemma was to figure out what to wear. She hadn’t anticipated staying here at the palace more than one night so she didn’t have any additional clothes with her. She peered into the closet, just to see if there was anything there she might borrow. What she found made her gasp with both surprise and delight. The closet was filled with clothes in her size and with the tags still on every single outfit. She didn’t like the idea that someone had gone out and purchased clothes for her yesterday, and wasn’t really sure that was possible. But she picked up a powder blue dress and found the matching shoes, slipping both on along with the delicate, lacy underthings that were in one of the drawers. Feeling better about things now that she was at least dressed, she took a deep breath and opened the door to the suite.

“Goodness, what a coincidence,” her mother said as she was also stepping out of another room. “We’re just heading to the dining room. We can all go together.” With that, her mother tucked Shanelle’s arm onto her own and they walked down the long hallway.

“Where’s father?” Shanelle asked.

“He had to get back to work. Some sort of emergency came up,” her mother replied. “So what on earth did you do to
