СКАЧАТЬ against the sharp arrow that lodged itself in my chest. ‘They live in the Lake District.’

      He caught a strand of my hair and teased it through his fingers. ‘What about your father, Leonora? Any reason he’s not quite in the picture?’

      I tensed, fiercely glad for the protection of the sunglasses. ‘He never wanted to be. But that didn’t stop him from selfishly dipping in and out of our lives when it suited him.’

      His mouth twisted. ‘I’m not sure which is worse, a parent’s physical presence and emotional absence, or a deprivation of both,’ he mused bitterly.

      I caught his hand, a strong urge to connect with him making me mesh my fingers with his. ‘In the long run, I preferred the latter because the former fed me with hope that was never fulfilled.’

      He brought our joined fingers to his lips and kissed my knuckles. ‘Do you still see him?’

      Pain spiralled through me. ‘Not if I can help it. Unfortunately my mother hasn’t abandoned the idea of using me as bait to hook an imagined relationship. We butt heads over the issue more often than I want.’

      He remained silent for a long time before grey eyes met mine. ‘So this is yet another area where we’ve both been fucked over. Perhaps we should form a support group.’

      The words were throwaway but his eyes held an intensity I desperately wanted to fixate on. ‘I prefer not to spend time raking over the past.’ Or rabidly dwelling on the many other ways I wished we were connected. ‘I’d rather help you celebrate your deal.’

      ‘I’m already celebrating. You’re my prize.’

      ‘I’m no one’s trophy, Gideon.’ That smacked too much of what I’d seen my father do to my mother. When the whim took him, he’d arrive in a blaze of glory, take her down from the shelf he’d placed her on. Play with her until he grew bored. Then he’d toss her back until the next time.

      Gideon’s face slowly straightened, his eyes darkening. ‘Too bloody right, you’re not. You’re so much more.’ Again that peculiar note throbbed in his voice.

      Before I could decipher it, he caught a thicker strand of my hair, wrapped it around his hand and pulled me close. He reached into the ice bucket and plucked out an ice cube.

      Wild tingles raced through my body. ‘What are you doing?’

      ‘Open up,’ he said.

      He placed the ice on my tongue, then he took my glass, held it to my lips. He allowed me a small sip before setting the glass down on the tray.

      When he brought his fingers to my lips again, I shook my head. ‘It’s mine now.’

      His breathing altered a little. ‘What are you going to do with it?’

      I let my gaze drift down to his cock, and then up his body. ‘Have you ever been fucked with ice, Gideon?’

      Fervent excitement leapt in his eyes. ‘Are you offering to blow my mind, Leonora?’ he asked hoarsely.

      ‘Lie down and let’s find out,’ I instructed.

      He complied with a feline unfurling of his body.

      I settled on my knees beside him, the effect of his eager anticipation already making me wet. With languid movements, I lowered my face to his until our lips were an inch apart.

      A drop melted onto his lower lip. He licked it off with a lazy swipe of his tongue. I allowed another two drops to drip before closing the gap.

      He sucked in a sharp breath as I dragged the ice cube back and forth over his lips. Despite the blazing sun’s heat at my back I shivered at his unfettered response.

      His eyes darkened dramatically as he watched my nipples pebble, his throat moving in a convulsive swallow.

      ‘Take your shades off, Leonora, I want to see your gorgeous eyes.’

      I pushed the ice between his lips, then pulled away before his lips could cling to mine. ‘Not yet. You only get what I give you.’

      He smirked. ‘Yes, boss lady.’

      That cocky smile evaporated when I grabbed another cube of ice. By the time I trailed it down between his hard pecs to his left nipple, Gideon was panting. ‘Sweet Jesus...’

      ‘Too much?’ I asked.

      ‘Too fucking good,’ he slurred.

      Without warning, I transferred the cube to his right nipple, then lowered my head and grazed his left with my teeth. His back arched off the deck, his teeth clenching until his jaw was rigid with barely leashed control.

      Between his thighs, his cock jerked to stiff attention.

      ‘I love the way you show your pleasure,’ I murmured.

      ‘I love the way you provide it,’ he croaked.

      I returned to my task, not stopping till the ice melted.

      He was cursing and groaning by the time I grabbed the next one. A slow trail down, I dropped it on his belly button, swung my thighs over his lean hips, then retrieved the ice.

      ‘Watch me, Gideon. Don’t move.’

      With his eyes locked on mine, and the tip of his cock inches from my heated core, I dropped my head back and trailed the melting ice down my body. Electricity zapped up my spine when the chilled cube touched my nipple. My rough moan made his stomach muscles tighten.

      ‘Jesus...Leonora,’ he muttered brokenly.

      I felt my pussy dampen shamelessly, the need to fuck him a twisting live wire inside me. Still, I took my time, torturing us both with my slow, excruciating tease.

      Gideon groaned when liquid dripped from my body to his. His gaze swung feverishly from my sex to my breasts to my mouth.

      When need grew too much to contain, I slid my hand over my belly to my clit. With a sucked in breath, I pushed the die-sized cube into my pussy.

      ‘Bloody hell. Have mercy,’ he rasped, his black gaze on the finger I was using to hold the ice inside me.

      ‘Put the condom on, Gideon,’ I ordered hoarsely.

      His gaze left mine for the mere second it took to snatch up the condom, then he was ripping it open, his movements frantic as he sheathed himself.

      My impending orgasm whistled in the distance as I braced myself over him. Then with a twist of my hips, I took him deep inside me.

      His shout of pleasure was music to my ears. Muscles straining in his neck as he tried to hold himself under control made my blood sing. With my hands planted on his chest, I went to town.

      ‘Fuck, Leonora. Fuck, fuck, fuck.’

      I didn’t give him a moment to regain control, driving us both towards the edge until Gideon’s teeth clenched and he shouted his climax. Only then did I let go and surrender to my own blissful СКАЧАТЬ
