Page 106 of Tempting the President

Not just how hard his body was. But I felt it. Huge. Powerful. And extremely alive, the way it pulsed so strongly against the juncture between my thighs.

Around us, the world still turned, but all of it had stopped existing for me. Now, only two things mattered. Him. And...his cock.

“So now you know,” he gritted out.

Trembling, I nodded. Now, I know. Oh, how I knew.

“Tell me then.” A deliciously rough command, his alpha side coming to the fore. “The words I want to hear...tell me.”

“Yes.” I couldn’t resist obeying him, couldn’t stop myself from whimpering the word out, knowing it would drive him crazy to hear me say it like that. And it did, Kellion sucking in his breath once more.

“Aria, God—-”

I almost moaned. With his cock so blatantly erect against my body, it was so easy to say more than what he wanted to hear, to tell him what I really felt, the carnal truth hidden inside my heart. I whispered, “I...want...you...to...take...me.” I looked into his eyes, made helpless and weak by how much I wanted him. “How...could...you...think...I...don’t?”

“Ah.” Kellion sounded like he was in pain. It was nearly inaudible, but this close, I didn’t just hear it. I felt it, his longing, his need, his desire to make love to me.

It scared me, but more than that, it excited me, made me feel restless, and if I wasn’t so shy and inexperienced, wasn’t so scared that this would turn out to be a dream and he never actually wanted me—-

Maybe I would have tried moving closer to him just so I could feelmoreof his hardness.

After swallowing several times, I managed to ask, “What...now?”

“I shouldn’t even be giving you time to think.” His smile turned self-mocking. “But somehow, you make me do things that I don’t normally do.” Kellion’s jaw clenched. “So I’m giving you one last chance. I’m no good—-”

I placed my finger on his lips, a frown on my face.Don’t say it.

He kissed my finger before pulling it down. “I won’t say it.”

I relaxed at his words, almost smiled actually, because even now, I couldn’t believe how good Kellion was at reading my thoughts, at understanding what I was saying even without words.

“But are you really sure...” Kellion breathed hard. “Are you really sure I’m worthy of being your first?” Each word was underlined with pain, each word a reflection of the scars he still had in his heart.

For a moment, I could only look at him, unable to comprehend how someone as perfect as Kellion Argyros could still remain so blind about the person he was.

Was he worthy?

This would show him just how “worthy” I thought he was.

When I looked up at Kellion again, his gaze was elsewhere, his body stiff, and I knew he was preparing himself for my rejection. Slowly, I reached for the sleeve of his shirt, tugging on it to call his attention even as I kept my eyes on his chest, knowing that it was impossible to meet his gaze with what I had to say.

When I felt Kellion’s gaze on me, I said, “Later...” My fingers tightened around his sleeve. “Your...place...or...mine?”

Kellion inhaled, his hard chest pressing against mine for a second. “Don’t say that if you don’t mean it.” His voice was tight. “Because I want you too much. I won’t refuse if you ask me again.”

Sensual heat rippled down my spine at his words, and I felt the triangle between my legs slowly becoming wet.

I heard myself say, “Then...consider...me...asking...again.” The moment I said it, I squeezed my eyes shut.Did I really just say that? Really?

Kellion’s head lowered, and I stiffened in my surprise as our heads touched. “Which place will put you more at ease?”

The question threw me for a loop.

“Yours or mine?”

I thought about it as seriously as I could, which was hard since right now, all I could think of was how long I’d have to wait before I could have his fingers on my pussy again.

Finally, I said, “Mine.”
