CHAPTER 18

Her eyes were shinning as she spoke, her cheeks flushed, and the truth dawned on him. It was too late.

Too damn late, even if he wouldn't- wouldn't- allow the words too even cross his mind.

Too goddamn late, maybe even as far back as the first time he set eyes on her four years ago. Kathryn Ice Rewis had gotten under his skin to steal a piece of his heart.

God. Damn. It

" Ah, Kathy. " He didn't let either of them speak after that, simply cupping her face with both hands as he took her lips. She gasped, but he didn't let her go, even leaning back against the edge of the counter so he could balance himself and kiss him deeper.

A small pair of hands clutched his shoulders tightly. " Yuri... "

God. He sucked on her tongue, thinking he could listen to her moan his name all night long.

" Yuri... " She kissed him just as wildly, and he almost, almost lost it.

Tearing his mouth away before he ended up losing his mind and fucking her on the kitchen counter, he started a wet trail down her neck. Her fingers crept up to clutch his hair as he started sucking on the pulse on the side of her neck.

" Yuri... I feel... I want... I don't understand... "

But he did. She was clutching his head more tightly now, her body demanding him to suck harder even if her mind hadn't completely caught up.

No fucking problem. Yuri hungrily obliged, drawing the tender skin between his teeth. He did it again and again, his cock throbbing in the same pulsing pace.

" Oh, Yuri. " She arched against him. And that was when they both felt it. Stunned, Yuri pulled back to stare down at what he thought he felt.

Her breast, swelling above the neckline, and it's nipples. Oh her sweet, pink nipples had come to life, hardened tips puckering against the thin fabric of her dress.

Kathy was staring down at herself as well. " I think... I want you. "

" Yeah, " he managed hoarsely. He was barely able to keep his hand off her breast, too damn worried to make an unexpected move that might frighten her off and have Kathy indifferent to him again.

She raised her gaze to his, her eyes filled with undisguised wonder. " Yuri, I want you. " Then, as if wanting to test the truth of her words, she cupped her breast and tweaked her nipples.

He groaned.

She gasped.

But before they could do anything else, they both heard a knock on the door.

" Ignore it, " he rasped out, unable to take his gaze off her breast.

Another knock.

Kathy's fingers let go of her nipples.

God. Damn. It! I would kill whoever it was!, Yuri thought.

The door opened, and with Kathy facing the door, she was the first one to see who it was. He watched her blinked. " It's Leon. " Her tone was surprised, but with a faint touch of affection. Yuri's face became grim. He was fated to commit murder then.

Although Leon's face remained bland, his eyes gleamed with interest as he watched the Greek biker carefully lift his fianceé off his lap. He would never have thought Kathryn Ice Rewis the type to make out in a kitchen, but then he should really have known better. Yesterday was enough to teach him that with the Greek heiress, nothing would ever be predictable.

The couple finally reached him, and he notice the way Yuri had a possessive arm around Kathy's waist.

Good, Leon thought in amusement. He like it a lot when he was able to jerk rich people's chains, and he knew 'rich' barely covered it where the biker was concerned.

" Hello, " Kathy said, still smiling. Yuri slanted a look at his fianceé. For Kathy that was the equivalent of jumping for joy, and his dislike intensified. Looking back at the Italian, he inclined his head slightly. " Arlotta. "

" Athanas, " Leon returned mockingly. But when he addressed Kathy again, his tone was charmingly light. " As promised, I've brought you the registration forms for you to fill out. "

Yuri frowned as Kathy took the folder from Leon, " Registration? "

She nodded. " During the tour, Leon kindly shared with me about a short term baking course due to start next week. I intended to take it. "

The two then glanced at him. He crossed his arms over his chest.

" No. " Yuri said

" Giving me a bath will really make you feel less sad? "

Ignoring Kathy's doubtful voice, he took hold of her hand and, leading her to the en-suite bathroom, he said resolutely, " Yes. "

It was also his self-chosen reward for having the forbearance not to beat Leo Blaze Arlotta into a pulp for putting the stupidest ideas in his fianceé's head.

Initially, Yuri had every plan to put his foot down.

The idea of setting Kathy loose in the real world without him by her side was too worrying for his peace of mind. But then he had turned to her, saw those starry eyes of her, and he had heard himself say, " As long as you don't mind having security follow you around. "

After closing the bathroom door, he turned around and froze. Kathy was taking off her clothes.

God. Damn. It

She had her back to him, and he swallowed at the sight of her nearly nude body. She was down to only her panties now, but she was already bending, and it was all Yuri could do not to palm her wonderfully pert butt.

God. Damn. It

He was the luckiest bastard on earth. She was stunningly beautiful and incredible sexy, but more than that, she was without vanity, guile or cunning.

There was no one like Kathryn Ice Rewis in this world, and he was willing to bet on that.

He watched her hips wriggle as she pushed the scrap of silk down her long, shapely legs, and his dick didn't just twitch. Instead, it shoved against his sweatpants, demanding to be taken close to the sweet, virginal pussy it knew was nearby.

And then Kathy was turning around, facing him, gloriously naked ---

Yuri swallowed again. God help him. He said the words under his breath, but apparently Kathy still heard him, with the way she was blinking at him in confusion.

" Why do you need God's help? "

Because I might not last five seconds, he answered truthfully in his mind. But out loud, he only said, " I'm praying for his help to make sure that I don't frighten you. "

She was already shaken her head before he finished speaking. " You will never frighten me, Yuri. " Her voice was patient, almost like she was speaking to a child, and he smiled at the sound of it.

" You love me, after all. "

'ah',

" Of course. " He said lightly. " I should have remembered. "

Kathy's lips slowly curved. " Silly, Yuri. " And then she looked down, and when she spoke again, her voice was filled with breathless wonder. " I want you again. "

He followed her gaze. She was staring at her breast, which had again come to life, her sweet pink nipples hardened and begging to be sucked.

" I can see that, " he said hoarsely.

When her gaze returned to meet his, it was hazy with desire, and Yuri knew then this would be no let's take it gently shower, no way Kathy would leave the bathroom without him having a taste of her pussy.

" Is it okay If I start taking off my clothes now, sweetheart? " his voice was thick with need.

She nodded.

His gaze capturing hers, he slowly pulled his shirt over his head and when his chest was bared to her sight, she whispered, " I feel so strangely hot, Yuri. "

God. Damn. It

How was he going to survive the next minute with her saying things like that?

His sweatpants went next, and her eyes widened. Again, he followed her gaze and saw it was drawn to the huge bulge his arousal made against his briefs. That was when he realized he hadn't thought to ask what she knew about sex and he asked carefully, " Did someone teach you about making love, sweetheart? "

A slowly, wary nod. " Grandmother says it should only be something done by two people in love. " A pause then Kathy spoke again, doubtfully, " Like you and me. "

" Oh, Kathy. " His voice was strained, but his broad shoulders also rocked with silent mirth. " Don't forget what you said earlier. You don't need to be frightened of me.. "

" Oh, " she grimaced. " I did forget. " She squared her shoulders. " I will not be frightened then. "

And she didn't sound like it, he acknowledged, amused. This time, she was only using her queenly before a beheading voice again

Deciding that action spoke louder than words in addressing her fears, he stepped forward and, without a word, cupped her face and kissed her.

She was still in his arms, but he didn't let this stop him, nibbling on her lips tenderly, patiently, wooing her with nips and licks until finally he felt her lips parting under his. Yuri drove his tongue in, a slow, steady stroke that allowed her to gradually adjust to his possession.

Moments later, and he felt and heard her surrender as Kathy released the sexiest little whimper just before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him back.

Yuri didn't waste time after that. Making his move without hesitation, he lifted her in his arms without breaking the kiss and carried her to the shower. Setting her down, he switched the shower on, and hot water blasted down on them.

Lifting his head, he commanded, " Turned down, Kathy. "

She did so without question and moaned softly when he started soaping her a moment later. He started with her smooth, slim back before moving his hands forward, cupping her breast from behind.

'Ah', Kathy leaned back against him, and he kneaded her breast harder.

He watched her lids close. With the water cascading down on them and the look of pleasure dawning on her face, she looked like a water goddess, and his desire for her almost knew no bounds. Gritting his teeth for control, he captured her nipples between his fingers.

Her eyes flew open.

And then he pinched.

Kathy jerked against his body, and he clenched his teeth harder as his cock slid up and down between the crack of her butt.

He turned her around and pushed her to the wall, " I'm going to eat you... "

Kathy whitened. " No! " She tried shoving him off. " Why? I'm not a food! "

He laughed even as his balls ached harder with the way Kathy's breast jiggled at her every move. " Kathy. I don't mean to eat you literally. "

Her struggles subsided. " Oh. " She glared at him. " You should make yourself clear. "

" I'll make it clear to you, " he promised solemnly, " If you trust me to make you feel good. "

A slow, measured nod.

" Lean back against the wall. " When she had to followed his order, he said huskily, " Now, just let yourself enjoy this. " He started with her breast, rinsing the soap from them before bending his head down to take one nipple inside his mouth. He heard her gasp over his head and he pulled away, his gaze wicked as he looked up at her. " That's what I mean by eating you. "

Then he went back to her nipple and started laving it with his tongue. When he felt her hands clutching his shoulders, he started sucking hard on her nipple. When he felt her hands move towards his hair, he gave her nipple a quick, hard bite and was rewarded with the reflexive tightening of her grip.
