Cara’s eyes flew open all of a sudden in the wee hours of the morning. She wondered why she felt so weighed down as if a bulldozer was crushing her with its weight. She soon realized the cause of it all, Marcus Donnelly. In his sleep-driven state, he had rolled over to her side, almost crushing her with his weight. Alarmed, she checked his injured hand. It seemed as if he wasn’t in much pain. With his face embedded in the crook of her neck, her senses turned to mush, all she could do was wrap her arm around his torso and hold him close to her. A strange feeling of warmth and a surge of love filled her mind and body. She was now completely certain that she had fallen for him, hook, line, and sinker.
Marcus didn’t stir at all although Cara was unable to sleep with his hot breath fanning her neck. She needed to get up but couldn’t disturb him. He needed the rest. After waiting for minutes, listening to
“Do you need something?” Cara asked with concern as she entered Marcus’s room. To her surprise, she found him sitting on his bed clad in nothing but a towel. With his body glistening and damp, it was obvious that he had just showered. She wondered how he managed with his injured hand. “Oh! I’m sorry. I’ll come back later.” She was about to dash off and save her virgin eyes when Marcus stopped her. “Wait. I need help.” Cara’s heart did a somersault imagining the kind of help he required. She slowly turned around and stood transfixed to the spot acutely aware of his hungry gaze fixed upon her. “Can you get me my clothes?” Cara jumped and rushed over to his closet. She wondered why he couldn’t do that much by himself when he managed to take a shower! Choosing a pair of soft cargos and a shirt, she returned back to his room. “Here.” She placed the clothes o
After breakfast, Marcus dropped her at her house to collect the necessary documents she needed for admission formalities at Suffolk Community College. While Marcus and Ben Duncan went to the market to buy stationery for his upcoming art project, Cara was glad to be able to spend a few hours with her family.“That’s wonderful news, Cara. I’m so happy for you,” said Aunt Maggie.“Yes, it is. I’ll have a bank account soon. So I can transfer money into your account now on a regular basis, Uncle Joe.” Cara couldn’t tell them her scope of work and thankfully they didn’t question her further. The children were overwhelmed to see her.“Thanks, Cara. That would be a great help,” said Uncle Joe.&l
Cara woke up early and quickly started wrapping up her work before 7 o’clock. Marcus was still fast asleep and she rolled her eyes at him. So much for doing the housework together! She had two hours to complete everything. The cleaning was already done the day before, so she quickly made breakfast and completed the preparations needed for lunch. That didn’t take long and she stepped into Marcus’s bedroom to take a quick shower before doing the laundry.By 6:15, she was ready and sipping her coffee when Marcus walked into the dining room, freshly showered and ready. Wearing a pair of figure-hugging jeans and a black tee-shirt, he looked less like a painter and more like some se* God. Cara blinked the thoughts away and turned on a dazzling smile at him, taking him aback.“Good morning! You’re late Mr. Painter.” Marcus gri
“So beautiful!” Cara distinctly heard the soft murmur that escaped his lips as he cupped her brea*ts, making her face heat up and sending shivers down her spine. With one hand holding her neck and the other kneading her brea*t, he leaned forward and crashed his lips to hers. Different than the previous one, this kiss was much more passionate and intimate as Marcus didn’t hold back anymore. When he softly bit her lower lip, a small gasp escaped her, allowing him to use the chance to shove his tongue into her sweet mouth.With their tongues dancing against one another, the e*otic and fervid kiss felt so incredible that a moan escaped Cara’s mouth and she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. It encouraged him to pull her closer, crushing her against his own hard chest. Soon the kiss turned fierce while she stroked his neck with her soft fingers, encouraging him t
This time the kiss was wilder and fiercer than the last one yet there was an unmistakable sensual note that took her breath away. His hand groped her rounded hip, drawing her into him till there was no space left in between. A moan escaped Cara as this was exactly what she wanted. The intensity of the kiss rendered her powerless and she wrapped her arms around his neck eliciting a contented moan from his lips. Marcus’s mouth played with her lower lip, biting and parting it expertly till she opened her mouth and surrendered to his needs. His tongue delved deeper and deeper and he devoured every recess inside her mouth like there was no tomorrow. The hungry, animal-like, and sensual kiss evoked a blind need deep within her which in turn started the familiar throbbing in her sensitive core. With her hands in his hair, tugging and pulling, she matched his passion with hers and kissed him back, surprising him and making him drown in her sweetness.&nb
Cara shyly pulled his head down to hers and planted a sweet kiss on his lips that made Marcus burn for more. He cupped her face and claimed her lips in a slow, lingering kiss that explored and savored her sweetness. Bolder and more confident than before, Cara kissed him back with equal fervor. Soon the languid kiss transformed into a battle of their mouths and Marcus groaned and slipped his hand beneath her top, caressing her firm and smooth skin. Cara trembled with a need so acute that she was surprised at her body’s reaction to him.Within seconds, he stripped off the top in a desperate and almost car*al movement, making a gush of molten heat release from her already wet folds. His fingers got rid of her bra and stroked her brea*ts softly, while she arched her back to give him more access. His mouth released hers and trailed to her ear, tracing her earlobe as he murmured what exactly he wante
“So, how’s everything going? All good?” asked Marcus as he perched himself on the ottoman beside her. Cara looked up from the mobile phone and nodded shyly, quickly deleting the browser window in case he wanted to check.“Yeah, I was saving the numbers I could remember.” Marcus nodded disinterestedly“Dinner’s ready.” He stared enraptured by her radiant face and her flushed cheeks wondering what was going on in her mind. Was she eager to get back to bed the way he was? “But I’m eager to eat you instead.” Cara gasped and blushed even more at his admission.“You shouldn’t think of that all the time or else the paintings would take years to finish,” Cara pointed out, the heat rising slowly up her body. Marcus chuckled, total
Marcus pulled her soft, curvaceous body into his arms, gazing deeply into her eyes. They held emotions that he had been running away from the last two years. Emotions of love that could last a lifetime! They weren’t the same emotions he had seen in Cassie’s eyes when they were together. Cassie’s feelings felt superficial compared to Cara’s pure and ardent feelings for him.“Why do you try when you can’t sleep without me, mia Cara?” He whispered, his mouth grazing her neck, trailing up to her ear.“Why do you call me that?” she answered with a question of her own.“Because you’re special.” Cara searched his eyes but didn’t find what she was seeking. There was only desire reflected in his dark stormy eyes.
