With the taste of Lucie’s climax still on his tongue, Thanasis submitted to an assault of his senses that would have lost him his mind if it wasn’t already gone. Every touch and mark of her mouth and tongue scorched him. Never had he been on the receiving end of such pleasure, but it was much more than that, more than a bodily experience, this transcended everything…
He groaned and had to grit his teeth when she took hold of his erection, then gritted them even harder when she took him in her mouth.
He lifted his head to look at her at the same moment her gaze lifted to his.
His heart punched through him to see the desire-laden wonder in her stare.
Closing his eyes, he gathered her hair lightly and let her take the lead, throwing his head back on the pillow as her movements, tentative at first, became emboldened. The fist she’d made around the base tightened and she took him deeper into her mouth, moaning her own pleasure at the pleasure she was giving him.
If heaven existed he’d just found it. This was like nothing…nothing…
The telltale tug of his orgasm began to pull at him, and with an exhale of air, he flipped her back round, pulling her up the bed to pin her back beneath him.
Throat too constricted to speak, he kissed her deeply, the tip of his erection jutting and straining against her slick heat.
Lucie felt possessed, that there was every chance she would go insane if Thanasis didn’t take possession of her. She had never wanted anything as badly as she wanted this. Every inch of her body was alight with the flames he’d ignited, her senses consumed with him. His beautiful face was all she could see, his ragged breaths all she could hear, his musky skin all she could smell and all she could taste, the smoothness of his skin all she could feel.
Shivering with longing, she rocked her hips, encouraging his possession, her breathing rapid as he stilled himself to drive into her, and with a long, drawn-out groan he was deeply and fully inside her and it was the most incredible sensation she could have dreamed of.
Limbs and tongues entwined, he drove in and out of her, the burn in her core reigniting and deepening and then uncoiling like tendrils through her very being until she was nothing but a mass of nerve endings, and the burning pressure deep inside of her exploded.
With a long cry, she buried her mouth into his neck and held tight as rolling waves of bliss flooded her. Somewhere in the recesses of her mind, she heard Thanasis shout out, and then there was one last furious thrust that locked their groins together for one final time.
Buried as deep inside Lucie as he’d ever dreamed it was possible to be, Thanasis felt his climax roar through him. And still he tried to bury deeper, still she tried to pull him deeper, both of them desperately drawing out the pleasure for as long as they could until there was nothing left but stunned silence.

Thanasis, eyes closed, stroked the smooth back of the woman cuddled so tightly into him. Their legs were entwined, her soft curls tickling his throat and chin.
If not for the weight in his heart, this would be the deepest contentment he’d ever known.
He’d never experienced anything like that before. Nothing close. That had transcendedeverything.
He pressed a kiss into her hair and breathed her in, wishing they could just stay like this.
A little longer. Let them have this moment. Let all the feelings seep through them and work their magic long enough that when he made the confession that he must, Lucie would understand their lovemaking had been separate from everything else.
God, please make her understand.
She sighed and then lifted her head to rest her chin on his chest. ‘I’m hungry.’
He ran a finger through a curl and smiled to watch it magically turn into three separate curls. ‘You’re always hungry… What did you eat while I was in Athens?’
‘Not much. Elias made me a couple of flatbreads with that lovely feta and yogurt mousse.’
‘Again?’ They’d only had that for their lunch the day before. Each flatbread was the size of a dinner plate.
She gave him that mischievous grin but her eyes were still soft from their lovemaking. ‘I asked him very nicely. Oh, and I had a bowl of pistachio ice cream too, which I think is the nicest ice cream I’ve ever had. I would seriously advise locking him away for the wedding or one of your guests is going to steal him.’
His throat constricted. He swallowed hard to clear it. ‘I will give your advice the serious consideration it deserves.’
‘Good. Because if you don’t, you’ll need a new wife as I’ll be off tracking Elias down.’
Now his heart constricted too before expanding heavily, compressing him with its weight, a sluggish pulse beating in his head.
‘Are you okay?’
Lucie’s voice seemed to come from far away but her face had closed in, concerned black eyes hovering right before him.
