СКАЧАТЬ her into another dimension.

      ‘Shall I roll my hips like that first time? That was incredible.’

      ‘Calypso…’ I wasn’t sure whether saying her name was warning or encouragement. Either way, she didn’t respond. She continued her mind-altering commentary. Commentary that fired a white-hot blaze inside me alongside the fiery one already raging from possessing her.

      I stared down into her stunning, unguarded face as I pushed in and out of her, racing both of us towards that special peak.

      Another man would have taken advantage of the situation, prised secrets from her subconscious while she was in this state. But that was an invasion my conscience wouldn’t let me stomach for longer than a nanosecond.

      So I refocused on the words tumbling from her lips, revelled in them for another reason altogether. Because they turned me on. Because no other woman had brought this unique, exquisite surprise to my bed. Because hearing her vocalise her pleasure charged mine in a way I’d never thought possible.

      Increasing the tempo of my thrusts, I lowered my body to hers, drew her tighter against me. ‘Wrap your legs around my waist, omorfia mou.’

      With gratifying speed, she complied.

      ‘Now, tell me more,’ I growled in her ear. ‘Tell me everything you’re feeling.’

      Whether she heard me or not, I didn’t know, but the words spilled out.

      Unmanned by her unfiltered longing, I kissed the corner of her luscious mouth and groaned when she chased mine when I withdrew.

      ‘Kiss me. Please kiss me.’

      ‘Say my name, matia mou. Say my name and I’ll kiss you.’

      ‘Axios,’ she moaned. ‘Kiss me, please, Axios.’

      Unable to resist the sultry demand, I kissed her again. Felt her tighten around me in response and gritted my teeth to keep myself on that dizzying plateau for one more second. She was eroding every ounce of my willpower, pushing me towards the zenith long before I was ready.

      And there was little I could do to stop it.

      Especially not when my mind was already flying to the next time, to the next position.

      She would be on top. Yes, she would ride me, her heavy breasts high and proud, while those unfettered words fell from her lips. The image was so potent, so vivid, I lost the ability to think straight.

      My unguarded growl in response to that scenario pushed her higher. Her nails dug into my shoulders, her head thrashing on the pillow.

      ‘Let go, Calypso. Now!’

      The command set her free. With a sharp, sweet cry, she dissolved into uncontrollable convulsions, her body writhing beneath mine in innocently uncoordinated movements that finally shattered my control.

      With a roar torn from deep within I succumbed to exquisite, untrammelled bliss. Time ceased to matter. I was aware I’d collapsed on top of her, one propped arm the only thing stopping me from crushing her. But her own arms were wrapped tight around me, as if holding me together.

      The singular, searing thought that I wanted to remain here indefinitely charged through my daze, forcing me to move. Forcing sanity back into this madness.

      But even as I gathered her to me after my return from the bathroom she was unravelling me again, the hand on my chest reaching deeper as she turned her face to me.

      ‘Ax?’

      ‘Hmm?’ Unfamiliar dread clenched my gut, escalating the notion that somewhere along the line I’d fallen under her mercy and her whim.

      Her breath fluttered out in an almost reverent exhalation as her eyes lifted to mine. ‘You’re the only man I’ve ever been with. I just thought you should know.’

      That gift, freely given when it could have been withheld in light of our circumstances, punched and winded me. The notion that opening up to her had possibly earned me this unsettled me even more.

      Questions and wants and needs surged higher than before, racing to the tip of my tongue before circumspection halted them. I wanted more from her. But did I have more to give to her and to Andreos?

      I pushed back the dismaying sensation.

      She was staying…for now.

      That unsettling little addendum would be tackled later. After much-needed regrouping.

      ‘Efkharisto.’

      The word emerged deeper, graver than I’d expected. I did nothing to offset it. Nothing but accept that things had to be different.

      Nothing I’d seen of the marriages around me had fuelled a need to embroil myself in one—not when they strained so easily and threatened to break at the smallest hint of adversity.

      But, in the hypothetical scenarios where marriage had crossed my mind, I’d known that unshaken faithfulness and stalwart support would be the cornerstone of its success. Not the kind of marriage held together by financial worth—the kind my grandfather had struggled to hold on to and ended up paying dearly for.

      That reminder cooled my jets long enough to let in rational thought. Long enough to know that Calypso and I needed a base of trust from which to operate.

      Which meant getting her to open up about her secrets…

      I decided to come at it from a different angle. ‘Are you ready to tell me why you chose to leave Greece?’

      Her eyes shadowed and her lashes swept down. But before I could catch her chin and redirect her attention on me she lifted her gaze, her eyes boldly meeting mine with a resolution I wasn’t sure whether to welcome or battle.

      ‘Okay.’

      Relief stunned me. ‘Okay?’

      She nodded. ‘I want whatever time we have remaining to be peaceful.’

      I forced my teeth not to grit at the reminder of a timescale. ‘Good.’

      A touch of nerves edged her features. When she went to move out of my arms, I caught her back. ‘It would please me if you stayed right here for this.’
