Chapter 48:

Damien’s P.O.V

What was I doing? Following Tatiana home in the middle of the night and then waiting outside for an hour, debating if I should just knock or get my ass back to the hotel so I could think properly before I acted. But the irrational side of me had won and I had indeed pressed her doorbell before even realizing what I was doing.

And now, here I was, standing in her kitchen with my hands cupped around her cheek and my lips on hers, tasting the sweetness of insanity. Her skin was soft under my hands and her hair was damp, meaning that she had taken a shower. And I could not help but imagine how she would have looked under the spray of water. How the tiny droplets would have trickled down her soft, creamy skin before disappearing into places that I wanted to explore.

Tatiana moaned under my lips and I took the opportunity to dart my tongue into her mouth and taste every nook and corner. She tasted of wine and something sweeter, darker. And I wanted to taste her till the world ended

What kind of magic was she using? Why did she have such a hold over me? One taste was all it took for me to get addicted, to act completely out of character and here I was, backing her up against the kitchen counter, feeling her surrender to my touch, making me want to devour her in slow, succulent bites. And so I bit her lower lip, hard enough to draw a gasp from her before I licked over the hurt and felt the hardness of her nipples pressing against my chest.

I hadn’t realized when my jacket had come off, or the fact that Tatiana’s bathrobe was halfway down her arms, exposing her breasts as I pressed our bodies closer together. Both of us were panting when we came up for air and the strain in my pants was starting to get unbearable. I wanted her now!

“Damien...” Tatiana whispered unsurely as I held her close.

“Don’t think.” I told her harshly. “Just don’t think. Let desire guide this time.”

I felt her tremble in my arms and with my hands at the back of her knees; I picked her up in my arms and carried her towards a set of doors at the back of the living room. Tatiana guided me towards her bedroom and I went inside it, kicking the door shut once we were inside. The lights were all on; good. I wanted to see the desire reflect in her eyes, I wanted to see how her face looked in the throes of pleasure and most of all; I wanted to make sure she saw me when I took her this time.

I laid her down gently on the bed and then stood back to take off my clothes. Tatiana followed my movements with her eyes and it turned me on further to know that she appreciated what she saw. There were some things a man needed in his life to lift up his ego, especially after a messy divorce.

I shook my head. I would not think about Marian. She didn’t deserve my thoughts after what she had done to me. She had toyed with my heart, given me false hope and then crushed them mercilessly under her Jimmy Choo’s. Tonight was about Tatiana and right now, she was starting out to be my current obsession.

Fully naked, I got up on the bed after her and covered her body with mine. Her lips opened in a sigh as I lightly placed mine on top of hers but I didn’t press further; giving her just enough to have her wanting more. Just as expected, as soon as I pulled back, Tatiana arched her back off the bed, following me until we were both sitting up.

I brought my hand to the belt of her bathrobe and locked my eyes with her dark green ones, seeking permission. She nodded ones, her eyes heavy lidded with pleasure and I untied the belt and pushed open the robe, discarding it to the side of the bed once I had successfully removed it from her body. And then I feasted my eyes on her glorious creamy skin and the supple mounds of her breasts.

The skin of her breasts were taunt and her nipples were budded, they were calling, begging for my attention and gave them that. Taking one swollen mound in the palm of my hand, I brought my lips down on them and tasted the sweetness of her skin, suckling the hard buds with all my attention before shifting to the other.

Tatiana’s head fell back on her shoulders and she fisted her arms on the bed sheets. I pushed her back down on the bed before tasting every inch of her body, taking my sweet time admiring the texture, the feel of her skin against mine. By the time I parted her legs to pay attention to her womanhood; she was writhing under me, begging desperately for release. I decided to prolong her torture.

Parting her delicate folds with my hands I lapped at her with my tongue and tasted heaven.

Tatiana screamed from above me and I felt her inner muscles spasm as she came hard and fast. I kept stroking her with my fingers, enjoying the feel of her breaking apart around me, her muscles squeezing my fingers like a warm, velvety glove. When she came back down from the high, I was there to catch her, to arouse her back into the sensual wakefulness so that I could take her properly this time.

My shaft was aching with need, precum glistening at the tip as the veins pulsed. If I didn’t take her now, I’ll surely burst. But it was also then that I realized I didn’t have protection with me. “Shit!”

“Wh-hat?” Tatiana whispered, her body trembling under my fingers. Her eyes were glazed over with passion and she looked thoroughly tumbled. It made it difficult for me to hold on to control.

“I don’t have a condom.” I spoke through gritted teeth. “Shit! How could I have forgotten?”

“I-it’s alright. I’m on t-the pill.” Her voice trembled as she held her arms up for me. “Come inside me, I can’t wait any longer!”

That was all I could do without shattering, so I went into her arms and entered her in one swift thrust. Both of us groaned each other’s name, the pleasure so exquisite it bordered on pain. I fit her just perfectly and she opened up in welcome like a starved man in a desert who had just found water.

I began moving inside her, the soft slapping sound of skin against skin the only noise I could hear over the buzzing in my ear and then there was no more thought, only pleasure.

*

“That was...” she sighed as we remembered what had passed between us.

“Wonderfully exhausting,” I told her, running my fingers up and down her back. “I’m sorry, I didn’t use protection.”

“It’s okay, I’m on the pill.”

Tatiana shivered and curled up tighter into me. We were still on her bed, exhausted and not in any hurry to move. I’d never felt more contempt in my life and I didn’t know how I felt about that. Tatiana was a wonderful woman. She was absolutely gorgeous and I knew from Grace and Daniel’s little chats that she was a wonderful person in general. But I wasn't sure if she was the right person for me.

“Call me a bastard for what I’m about to suggest, but I want to keep doing this.” I told her. “Without the strings of an emotional attachment.”

I felt the change in her as soon as she stiffened under my arms. Rising up on her elbows, she looked at me with sharp green eyes. “What is that supposed to mean?”

I rose from the bed too, sitting up next to her so that we were eye level with each other. “I won’t go into all the details but just know that...I’m a divorcee. I separated from my wife about ten months ago and it was a messy divorce with a lot of name calling and a lot of trouble. It’s made me...weary about going into any relationship at the moment.”

Tatiana didn’t say anything, just kept looking at me with those intent green eyes. She could be intimidating without even trying, and I don’t think she realized that about herself. Any man would kill to rise in her eyes. It was a good thing that I found that trait in a woman very sexy.

“You understand what I’m asking for, right?” I asked her so she would do something other than just stare at me. “I can understand if it’s not what you want, I-“

“I want that too.”

I didn’t even know I was nervous until she said that I felt relief flood through me. “You’re okay with that? Really?”

“Yes,” she shrugged and some of her auburn hair fell forward to cover her chest partially. “Not everyone can get a fairytale love story. I’ve learned that a while ago.”

“So you believe in fairytales?” I raised my eyebrows at her.

“That a knight in shining armor comes in and slays the dragon for the Princess?” Tatiana smirked. “I don’t know...the idea sounds quiet intriguing.”

“Is it?” I smiled, glad that she had taken my mind off of heavier topics. “And you think I’m your Knight in shining armor?”

Unexpectedly, Tatiana threw back her head and laughed.

“What?” I asked puzzled.

“That’s what Ken called you this morning, when I first saw you.” She explained. “She called you my Knight in shining blue Armani. Although I think now you’d be the dragon rather than the knight.” She sighed. “Maybe a real knight will come along and rescue me from this agony.”

I don’t know why but that idea didn’t sit well with me. So to distract me from thoughts, I mock growled on her and fell back on the bed with her in my arms. “Then let me show you just how dragons love.” I told her.

“Again?” She asked laughing. “God, you’re insatiable!”

“Only with you, Tatiana.” And with that, I caught her lips with mine and thus began a sensual dance that left us both thoroughly satisfied and completely exhausted.
