Touch me if you dare: Alpha Billionaire Romance (The Secret Matchmaker Book 2) (5 page)

I ignored the awkwardness of our situation after Lila fell from her camel, the moment leaving me wanting more from her than she was willing to give. I tucked my feelings away and focused on providing the pretty girl with a night she wouldn’t forget.

The show at dinner was incredible, the food brilliant. A huge tent sat above us and I scooted close to her, draping an arm over her shoulder as we watched the Tanoura show.

"This is incredible. Is it native to Dubai?" She turned and whispered quietly in my ear. The warmth of her breath against my skin sent chill bumps racing down my arms.

"It's actually a folkloric dance that is very common in Egypt. I bet you'd look beautiful doing it. I mean with your pole dancing talent, I'm thinking there isn't anything you can't do."

She laughed and swatted at me, the look on her face warming parts of me that I didn't know existed anymore.

I waited until the show had taken her attention fully to reach out and take her hand into mine. She glanced over at me, but only briefly. She was swept away in the majesty of the moment and the beauty of the costumes.

The trip had begun so well. She was the perfect woman to have beside me. Gratefulness washed over me at the mere fact that she accepted my apology. I wasn't sure I would have been as generous had the situation been reversed.

The breeze picked up and blew her hair toward me, the smell of her shampoo filling my senses and making my mind buzz with various possibilities. I wanted to take her anywhere she wanted to go, to show her the riches of the world and the luxury of the rich. It had grown boring to me, but with her... she was a babe to all of this and it would be fun to experience it through her eyes.

Stop it. You're falling in love.

I ignored the internal warnings that screamed at me. It wasn't love. It was the romantic atmosphere and the beautiful woman. It was like watching a great love story where the fire blazed hot and the food was delicious, the temperature perfect and the entertainment brilliant. Everything was perfect.

I glanced up at the sky and let out a long sigh. The darkened sky was filled with stars, and the simplicity of it sunk deep inside of me. I felt like a king who was pretending to look for his queen. Why was I looking? She was right beside me. Now if she only felt the same.

Maybe sex would be the tool by which she would come to see me differently. I wasn't thinking about love, but something beyond carnal lust would be good. I had started to feel something new and different, something frightening and yet exhilarating.

After the show I would take her back to the tent we were sharing. I could take it slow and connect with her. The night was perfect and I wanted her to know that not everything between us had to be about sloppy blow jobs or quick fucks in awkward places. I wanted to be adventurous with her and fulfill all of her naughty fantasies, but tonight... tonight I wanted her to envision the possibility of more with me.

The show ended and I helped her up before wrapping my arm around her shoulder and smiling down at her.

"Did you like it?"

"I loved it. Tonight was magical. Like nothing I've ever seen." She smiled up at me and wrapped her arm around me, snuggling up against my side.

I wanted to tell her how good it felt to hold her close, how much it seemed like she belonged there, but I didn't want to scare her.

"What now?" She yawned and let out a cute little squeak.

I chuckled. "Bed. I have a tent for us out here. It should be cozy, and then we'll head back in the morning."

"Perfect." She released me as we made it to the tent and I held the door open for her.

"It's small, but more than enough for one night. Just take off your shoes right inside so we won't get sand everywhere." I moved in and pulled my boots off before tugging at my shirt and pants.

She watched me with intensity, but I wasn't going to feed her lust.

I tugged my underwear off and walked to the single mattress bed before crawling in it and patting the space next to me. "Come here and let me make love to you."

She hesitated, but I couldn't see why. The tent had a small electric light in the far corner, but from the angle I had of her, all I could make out were shadows. She worked languidly to get her clothes off and moved toward me. I couldn't help but reach out for her.

"I had fun tonight." I pulled her to me and moved to my side, forcing her to lay on hers too so I could feel every inch of her pressed against me.

"Me too. More than I ever have." Her voice was soft and filled with something I couldn't discern. Pain? Fear?

I moved a little and shifted to be on top of her, nudging my way between her thighs and moving down to press soft kisses against her chest before licking at her pert little nipples.

"God you're so hot, baby," I mumbled and moved back up, resting my arms on either side of her face and leaning down to press a sensual kiss onto her mouth.

"We need a condom," she mumbled and slid her hands around to cup my ass.

"There should be a couple beside the bed on the floor." I kissed her again and moved for a moment to get one on. She watched me with intensity and reached for me as if she was as needy as I was.

I moved back on top of her and slipped one arm under the back of her neck and the other down her side to cup her butt as I pressed my lips to hers and forced myself inside of her. The moan she let out almost undid me. It was full of passion and need, but not just heat. It was the cry of a woman who needed to be loved by a man.

I kissed her again before moving to rest my face in the crook of her neck. I squeezed my other hand between her and the bed and cupped her ass, gently rubbing and squeezing her flesh as I rocked myself in and out of her in long strokes.

Her soft panting grew in my ear as she dug her nails into my lower back. I kissed and licked at her flesh, not willing to rush or turn our passion into another hard fuck that meant nothing.

"I'm going to come," she groaned against my ear. Her lips brushed by my face before her hands moved up and cupped my jaw, forcing me up to watch her.

Her eyes closed and she arched her back hard as a cry left her that sent shock waves to the core of my being. I rocked against her again, and lost my load without trying to.

Her arms tightened around me and I pressed another long kiss to her lips as I finished riding the wave before continuing to make love to my girl. I could hear her nearing another peak and I wanted to feel her fly over it again. We were a sticky mess and I knew the risks of not changing the rubber, but I didn't want to break the mood.

She came harder the second time, her body thrashing about as she cried out over and over again. My name left her lips and that's all I needed. My body beckoned to her desires and I came in slow thick waves.

I collapsed against her, kissing the side of her neck and whispering how incredible she was in her ear. The soft sob that left her caused me to stiffen, but she turned her head and I realized that she was crying.

"Baby... what's the matter?" I moved up, but kept myself buried inside of her.

"Nothing. That was incredible." Her words were slurred due to her heavy emotion.

"Lila. Something is wrong. Did I do something to hurt you?" My heart felt like it might tear in two.

"No. I'm fine. Honestly."

"Is this about our arrangement? We can modify the terms. I respect you completely and just wanted access to..."

She cut me off as her fingers pressed to my lips. "Stop. I'm just tired. The arrangement is perfect and the sex was mind-blowing. I just need sleep. Is that okay?"

I kissed her fingers and pulled out of her before getting up and grabbing a towel. I handed it to her and brushed my fingers through her hair. "Of course it is. Get some rest."

I stood and cleaned myself up as a million thoughts went through my mind. She wasn't okay, and putting my wealth and influence in front of her had obviously messed with her head in an unfair way.

I put my underwear back on and walked out of the tent, breathing in deeply. I was falling for her, but I needed to tread lightly. She had a story in her past that left her not able to trust me or want anything but a romp in the sheets. Women weren't like that. Someone made her brittle and unyielding. I didn't want to add to it.

The wind picked up and I turned my head to see a crowd of men talking excitedly. I walked toward them, not caring that I was only half dressed. Something was up.

"Hey. What's all the fuss about?" I asked, as one of them turned to me, panic in his eyes.

"A sandstorm is coming."

"What? Where?"

The male pointed toward it and my heart skipped a beat. It was the largest storm I had ever seen. "Pray my friend. These out here aren't just beautiful. They're deadly."
