Dizzy from the shock, Isabella’s mind replayed the scenes where his mouth was on hers, she gently touched it.
All the spots on her skin that made contact with his hands were still tingling with hot lust, every inch of her body tormented with some kind of biological urge that never hit her like that before. She blamed it on the fact that she was still a virgin and also didn’t use her sex toys since a while.
Those were the reasons most certainly, not the fact that she had been craving to have a taste of the man from the moment she set her eyes on him in that third-rate diner.
That was surely not the case.
What happened a few minutes earlier was the result of a plausible set of circumstances, life and death situations can provide justifications even for the most unrealistic course of events.
Would it have happened if not for the fear of death? Probably not.
Stopping the time in the moment that their lips collided would have been gratification ordained by gods, she allowed herself to believe.
No, that’s not how it would have worked.
Stopping the time would have meant endless torture, not getting more of his hands and mouth hovering on her body, not feeling his hard member buried deep inside her softness to put an end to the anguish from her burning with ardor core, that would have equaled a punishment more hellacious than death itself.
‘Fine, I admit it, but solely in that moment when life hinted to cease existence, I wanted it to happen. My heart was throbbing for my fantasies to morph into reality.’
Breathing became harder to impossible, he just entered the room again, very much naked as before. His entire dynamic screamed man in pursuit as he approached the bed again, enticing her figure in his predatory glance, she never had the chance to dress.
The air was filled with tension, the sexual kind.
She reached for the blanket, grabbed it and wrapped it around her silhouette, shivering like a leaf in the process.
The desires from before reached the sky limit, they were one hundred times stronger now.
Her heartbeats accelerated as he leaned over her with slow movements. Then he took something from the closet near the bed and withdrew.
‘Okay, that was not what I had in mind.’
“W-why are you here?” She uttered, her words filled with shyness.
“Relax, woman! I want nothing from you!” He declared, his eyes suddenly went from flaming thirst to ice-cold shade. “I needed a set of clothes. Or you perhaps want to see me naked for the rest of the flight?” He smirked arrogantly.
‘He wants nothing from me, I didn’t hear a single thing after he said those words, disappointment is a hard pill to swallow, for sure.’
“That’s not going to happen again!” He threw at her an unnecessary assurance, which no one asked for. “Unless you want it and you beg for it!”
“Say what?” She grunted in stupefaction, but he was already on his way out.
Edmund’s rational judgment went through the window along with his composure and his ability to breathe as he entered the room and came across a fabulously unclothed Isabella.
‘Damn, she is so fucking perfect, my cock is fighting against my jeans to escape and immerse itself in that moist and warm pussy, possess her until the world ends, just as I meant to do prior the inconvenient interruption by the plane crew.’
He grabbed his clothes, the reason he entered the room, and exited as if his life depended on it, a minute longer and the result would have been of significant difference. Her legs would have been wrapped around his body in full of passion moves as she would shout the name Edmund with rampant need, before releasing the tension from her center of pleasure.
His heart was racing at that figment of imagination which had every chance to become reality. He was harder than he had been in years, his member pulsating painfully in his pants, complaining about the abominable interference in the path to satisfaction.
~~~
Two hours maybe passed since he last saw her, she never left the damn room, after that particular turning point.
Instead of feeling over the moon for being finally alone and at peace, having the opportunity to finish all those reports and complete the other tasks he could not previously, he was painfully aware of her absence.
Glancing at the rear side of the plane more often than necessary was his new pastime.
Finally, he heard a low sound of a door opening, and he turned his head before restraining himself.
Her cheeks were blushed, her gaze set on the airplane’s fluffy carpet, her stance crying of embarrassment while walking to the chair she used before.
‘It’s not like she’s some sort of virgin! Why is she acting like that? I bet she shared her bed with lots of men until now.’
The background check he had ordered before coming to Madrid stated that she had at least one boyfriend who she dated publicly. And judging by the way she looked, she must have had plenty of suitors.
‘Maybe she is aware that acting all innocent attracts men the most!’
He shifted in his seat as his cock grew hard again. It took him a while to cool it down, his effort was in vain as her presence stirred the pot once again.
“Don’t be ashamed of what happened, dear, it’s not like we won’t become husband and wife as soon as we set foot on the ground.” Those words escaped his chest, sounding as devastating as a thunder in a sunny day, with no control whatsoever from his part.
Weird enough, shortly after letting them out, he felt relieved, like a burden was lifted off his soul.
“W-what? T-that will never happen!” She replied without giving it a second thought, staring at him in panic, and the simple suggestion that she was afraid of him made his stomach muscles clench.
“It’s not up to you, love! If you want your sister to stay alive, if she recovers from the crash of course, you will do as I say. Also, your life is at stake too, so if she happens to die, you’ll still have to go through the marriage for you’ll inherit a part of my family wealth. That’s the aftermath of playing with the Stark family!”
“W-what?” She blinked nervously, the grimace on her face one of someone who just received the worst news ever, multiple emotions crossing her figure, one more devastating than the other.
“Sure, there is still the small chance that she dies and my brother lives, so no harm done here, but I’m not going to risk it. How does Isabella Stark sound to you? I hope you fancy it for it will be your name in a little while and you’ll wear it for the rest of your life.”
‘No, he did not, he couldn’t have, I refuse to believe this. Did he?’ Isabella was in denial. He couldn’t have said those horrible things, she must have been imagining them, the shock was to be held liable for that sort of malfunction of her brain. Taking all factors into consideration, the distress from the last hours could be the foundation of these inconceivable thoughts of her. She glanced at him in bewilderment, uncertain if her short memory, the one that replicated his speech in her mind, was unblemished or if the panic of a viable airplane ordeal and the other incidents that followed altered it beyond cure. “What did you just say?” She inquired, being optimistic that it was all just a gloomy hallucination. “I said that you are to marry into the mighty Stark family. Although you are clearly not my type, you are to become my wife, a place coveted by the entire female population pertaining to the high society and by all the other women that strive to achieve a place in the wo
It happened again, Edmund’s analytical thoughts went astray after the lower side of her abdomen came in contact with his hard member, throbbing through the pants as it did all day long, threatening to escape and forge ahead to the most coveted place on Earth, her inner part.Like the world came to a halt, he felt nothing else, nothing but the shockingly heavy slap on his face she gave after he advanced that damn request to her, a proposition he believed to have been totally entitled to push forward.Clearly, she disagreed. He touched his face, it stung. It was the first time a woman slapped him, so it felt rather interesting. ‘She should beg me. She should!’Every other woman would have blatantly offered herself to him, doing whatever things necessary to benefit from a single touch from his part.‘Why would she be any different? God, how I’ve yearned to hear those fucking words!’Instead, after slapping him, she left his side, retiring in the sleeping area.If only she would have sa
‘Is it that horrendous that hearing him saying ‘you’re mine’ and talking about marriage and children does all kinds of wicked things to my body? Is it sinful that my core is trembling with a need that can only be satisfied by this arrogant man?’Isabella hated herself for her weakness, for the way her treacherous body responded to Edmund.She tried to remember when was the last time that she craved to be possessed with raw passionate carnal desire by a man, to be punished with maddening sex. Or when was the last time she felt a consuming urge deep inside, like some devil took control of her body.The answer was ‘never’.‘When did anybody make me feel so wet and desperate for some rough intimacy? Also, never.’Those were new feelings for her. She didn’t have a clue that she had it in her, and if not for Edmund, she might not have found out in a lifetime.Reading her mind, or maybe it was her yearning glance that gave it out, his eyes started traveling all over her body, the hot fervor
Isabella once again stared at him in disbelief, he had the audacity to assume that she could be threatened into a marriage.‘For God’s sake, is this man really serious?’ She could not stop her nervous blinking.She opened her mouth to speak out her outraged mind, but she bit her lower lip instead, deciding that the conversation should end there. It was not even worth wasting a breath, the minute she would walk out of there, she planned to avoid the ravishing man for the rest of her life.‘What person with a sane brain would ever believe that a marriage could be crafted on insults, accusations or intimidation? Is he some kind of Italian Don from some distant past where women were mere objects at a man’s disposal, where marriages relied on some sort of vendetta?’Though they met a few hours ago, he undeniably prevailed in invading her mind and her soul. She shed tears for reasons she could not completely identify, or maybe she just chose not to dig further into her heart.But even if s
‘Does this man find so much delight in making me miserable?’Isabella could swear to have seen his lips briefly form into a devilish triumphant smile, just before his face regained its usual cold appearance.‘For God’s sake, he just won a small battle, not the freaking war!’She had a well-established plan. She would find a way to get out of the abominable contract after seeing her sister. Luisa was the only one important at the moment, nothing else mattered.Though she was ashamed to admit, a treacherous part of her was perturbed by the existence of that Moira woman, that part of her wanted to know his connection to her.‘Why go to the extent of marrying me if he already had a woman? Are we really married now?’Deciding that she would not let the thought consume her mind, she was keen on getting out of the plane and filling her lungs with fresh air.‘Finally! Only God knows how suffocating this trip has been!’~~~It would have taken ages to pass through the airport immigration check
Edmund never liked nor sympathized with weaklings. Being resilient and unbreakable were family traits, teachings inoculated in his behavior from a young age. Therefore, it was understandable to be grueling for him to see Isabella so weak, yet there was something about her that made his protective instincts explode.Watching her laying in the bed, so innocent and vulnerable, but so exhausted, it was difficult to digest, it made him want to do the impossible to make it better for her.She was not frail when she fought against his accusations, she was not insecure either when she discarded his marriage proposal so many times. She was not actually weak, she was just a concerned sister, Luisa was the only family she had left.Well… except him. He was now her husband, her family, and he would have to explain that to her very clearly.‘She is not alone anymore, she has me. Would she faint like this if I were the one in danger, would she cry?’“If I would not know the mighty Edmund better, I
‘To tell the truth, I was baffled by Isabella’s reaction to my cousin’s presence from the very first minute. The gracious and good-natured Isabella acted like an unmannered cold woman, yet I blamed it on the stress, she has been through a lot lately.’Judging from Isabella’s earlier reaction, Edmund thought it might be more to it. He examined her face trying to understand what was going on in that pretty little head of hers.‘Was that jealousy?’Part of him wished he had teased her more, if jealousy was on the table. He was curious of the reaction she would have had if he had brought another woman there with them.“I ask you again, who did you think she was?” He confronted her, it was very important to know what she was feeling.“I--.” She sighed, gazing at him with pure and innocent eyes, breathtakingly beautiful. “I thought she was your--” She paused looking aside. “Lover.” Her voice was low.She was blushing and he was glad he was the reason for the red color on her cheeks.He inwa
Edmund’s brain malfunctioned the second his lips molded with hers, even though he had never forgotten about his plans to take revenge on her for Luisa’s actions. In spite of that, he could not remember the last time he was so weak for a woman, if ever.Her lips tasted like magic bliss, a sweet intoxicating flavor that tricked him into believing he had touched paradise. ‘I hate to admit this, but she is turning me on to the point that I could easily forget where we are. I could strip her naked and have her right here, in this car, in the parking lot.’The shyness in her gaze when he placed her body in such a compromising position undid him in every single possible way, everything completely disappeared around them, and the only one he had eyes for was Isabella.‘Her shivering body only adds to the fucking torture!’ It took all his self-composure not to act on his raw desires to take her roughly and more wildly than she could handle. ‘Fuck, she was a walking temptation from the firs
