Unexpectedly Expecting the Sheik's Baby - Elizabeth Lennox Page 0,36

“It only means they want the power I hold. They are seduced by my title, not me, the person.” His fingers dove into her hair and he kissed her gently on the forehead. “You want me, Cassy. You don’t give a damn about my title or my wealth. You would rather that I didn’t have any.”

She peered up at him and he laughed, seeing the truth in her lovely eyes. “I thought as much,” he replied, the amusement evident in his tone. “I want you, Cassy. I want your body and your mind, I want your intelligence and your warm heart that you try so desperately hard to hide from the world so that they will see you as a hard core, tough litigator. But I see the soft, gentle woman underneath the veneer.” He felt her shoulders relax ever so slightly. “I want to show you the amazing woman, the sensuous beauty you are underneath all of the temporary accouterments you put on each morning. Like the sports bra. But I have news for you, Cassy,” he waited until she looked up at him. “Men can see through all of it. We can see the vulnerable woman underneath the stiff suits and flattened chests. I’m called to that woman, drawn to you in ways you can’t even imagine.”

She laughed nervously, her anger dissipating slightly. Still, she shook her head. “That woman doesn’t exist.”

He felt something loosen in his chest with her laughter. It sounded so pretty, so lively and he wanted to hear it again.

“Who are you trying to convince? Me? Or yourself?”

She shrugged.

“Let me make love to you. No one outside of this room will know about what happens behind those doors,” he told her. “Not a soul. You can go back to your boardrooms and your law office, knowing that you have a secret, a secret that only you and I know about.” He kissed her forehead. “Except there will be a smile in your eyes. You’ll know something about yourself, something amazing.” He kissed her cheeks. “You’ll hold your head up high, Cassy, and know that you’ve experienced something not many people get to enjoy. You’re far more passionate than you are giving yourself permission to be, but that’s not going to last.”

“I’m not passionate.”

He laughed as he softly kissed her lips. “Prove it,” he challenged as he pulled her against him.

Automatically, she reached to balance herself, releasing her breasts, and she was shocked at how wonderful it felt to have them pressed against his hard chest. The feeling of her breasts against him, free from the constraints of an unforgiving sports bra, was incredible!

When he pulled his mouth away, she whimpered. “More,” she begged even as she unconsciously rubbed her nipples against his rough sweater. Closing her eyes, she did it again and again.

Nasir knew exactly what she was doing and pulled his sweater off. Dumping it on top of hers on the floor. When it was gone, he pulled her right back into her arms, encouraging her to continue.

She was like a kitten, leaning in for more affection, more petting. Nasir was more than willing to give it to her. Damn, she was incredible!

He carried her over to the bed and laid her down. He didn’t waste time. His fingers moved to the snap on her jeans and tugged them off. He did the same with his own clothes, and climbed onto the bed next to her. Automatically, she reached for him, but he could feel her nervous trembling.

“Don’t be afraid, Cassandra,” he soothed as his hands moved along her body. He was lying next to her, but when he noticed her fingers forming small fists, he shifted so that he was on top of her. Both other times, she’d relaxed when she could feel him.

Cassy gasped when she felt his body press against hers. But as the warmth, the heat, seeped into her body, she relaxed into him, needing more, needing all of him.

Nasir knew what she needed because he needed it too. So when her hands moved up to his shoulders again, his knee pressed between her own. When she shifted, giving way, he pressed closer, pulling her against him and showing her how to move, how to get the most sensation.

Lowering his head, he kissed her, thrusting his tongue into her mouth until she started to reciprocate. For long moments, he only kissed her, enjoying the way her body shifted against his. When her arms wrapped around his neck, he moved
