MARRYING MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCEE Chapter 427
Kate’s eyes widened even further. "For what last night?" for making love to me?He could feel her surprise—as if an apology was the last thing she had expected—and his jaw clenched. "I was rough with you," he grumbled. Apologies were not easy, but this one had to be made. "I have spent the past week anticipating our wedding night, and my impatience made me careless." By the time I discovered it was your first time, it was too late to restrain my hunger for you. If you had told me— He broke off, clearly struggling to contain his impatience. "If I had known, I would have acted differently—been gentler," he expounded at her confused frown."If you had known I was a virgin, you wouldn’t have made love to me at all," Kate murmured. "You would have had our marriage annulled and asked the courts to award you custody of Hazem, wouldn't you?" she added uncertainly.Ahsan’s gaze meshed with hers, and the tension between them changed subtly as awareness wove its sensual spell. "Hazem was not the

Ahsan felt something tug at his insides. He had been a similar age to Kate when his mother had left Qubbah, and he had never forgotten how badly he had missed her. He’d been lucky that he still had his father, brother, and sisters around him, but Kate had had none.He admitted grimly that he had convinced himself that she was a heartless golddigger because it suited him.It had been the only weapon at his disposal to fight his ferocious attraction to her. But what if he had been wrong about her? What if she really had adopted Hazem so that she could give him the love she had been denied during her childhood? It made his treatment of her seem even worse—particularly the way he had trapped her in a marriage she hadn’t wanted, simply because of his selfish determination to take her to bed."You told my father that you loved Farhan," he muttered, voicing the thought that had been gnawing at him. But you must have been lying. Because I proved conclusively last night that you were never a pr
MARRYING MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCEE Chapter 429
She could hear the whisper of a breeze stirring the leaves of the palm trees and the song of some exotic bird, but the silence from Ahsan stretched her nerves, and she wondered for one terrible moment if she had got it wrong—if he had been turned off by her inexperience or had grown tired of her already. His slow, sensual smile reassured her, and the molten heat that gleamed from beneath his heavy lids promised heaven."Come and swim with me, then, Kate," he invited, and before she realized his intention, he’d caught hold of her hand and pulled her into the pool, his mouth capturing her startled cry as they sank beneath the surface.The water was cool on her heated skin, but Ahsan’s body was warm when he crushed her against his chest and tangled his legs with hers, holding her so tightly to him that their bodies seemed to be melded together. Kate was out of her depth and clung to his shoulders. She had closed her eyes when he’d pulled her under, and, deprived of vision, her other sens

Ahsan suddenly stilled his movements, and his jaw clenched when he caught the shimmer of tears in Kate’s eyes. "You should have told me I was hurting you," he grumbled harshly, already withdrawing from her, but Kate slid her arms across his back and tried to urge him forward."You’re not hurting me, I promise," she assured him frantically. "Don’t stop, Ahsan." Please.’ As she spoke, she lifted her hips and wrapped her legs tightly around him, and after a moment’s hesitation, he moved again, gently at first, then harder and faster, bitterly aware that he could not fight his desperate need for sexual release.He had never been at the mercy of any woman, and he was always, always in control. But Kate blew him away. Perhaps it was the knowledge that he was the only man she had ever known, that her innocent, untutored body had found pleasure only with him. He didn’t know, and right now he didn’t care—because she suddenly gave a sharp cry and tensed beneath him, the intensity of her climax

Should she go and look for him? She had flicked back the sheets and was just sliding her arms into her robe when he walked back into the tent. She knew instantly that something was very wrong."What is it?" she asked urgently. ‘Hazem…?’Ahsan shook his head. "He’s fine, but my father suffered a heart attack two hours ago." He ignored her shocked cry and continued in a controlled voice. "Early indications are that it was a mild attack, but he will remain under close observation by his doctors in the hospital wing of the palace."He raked his hand through his hair and frowned at her, as if surprised to see her in her nightgown. "You must get dressed." We have to return to the palace immediately. Until my father is well enough, I will take his place as the King of Qubbah.Kate didn’t know why his words filled her with such foreboding. She’d known that King Kabir had appointed Ahsan as interim ruler until the true heir to the throne, Hazem, came of age. But only now did she appreciate the

As Ahsan had predicted, his team of advisors was waiting for him when they arrived back at the palace. Even on the journey across the desert, he’d had his mobile phone clamped to his ear, and Kate had sat silently beside him, lost in her thoughts. The honeymoon was over, and he had made it abundantly clear that he now saw her role as his wife as a walk-on part—or perhaps a lie-down part, she thought bitterly. But what had she expected? She had married him for Hazem, and he had married her for sex, and they had each gotten what they wanted.At least she had Hazem, she told herself later that evening, when she tucked the toddler into bed. She had missed him desperately, and his evident delight that she was back was a comforting balm to her raw emotions. She was Ahsan’s wife, a member of the Royal Family of Qubbah, and no one could ever take him away from her now.But as she prepared for the state banquet, her insecurities returned, and she felt sick with nerves. She had been horrified w
MARRYING MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCEE Chapter 433
Clearly embarrassed, Aaliyah determinedly changed the subject to Hazem and how fast he was growing. But although Kate smiled and made token conversation, her mind was whirling. If Malika’s family had expected her to marry Ahsan, was she the woman he had been engaged to years ago—the woman Jamila had said he had loved? But, if so, why had they not married? It didn’t make sense, and she brooded miserably as she stared at Ahsan. He was smiling at Malika and clearly enjoying her company. Perhaps they had argued and broken off their engagement. Was he now regretting his lost chance to marry a beautiful, clever Arab girl who would have made him the perfect wife?From that moment on, the party became a blur of faces and stilted conversation with people she had never met before. She was sure they viewed her as an oddity, with her pale skin and vivid hair—and her glaring lack of sophistication. But until his father had recovered, Ahsan was king, and one of her wifely duties outside of the bedr

Her feet briefly touched the floor, and he spun her around, tugged her zip down her spine, and removed her dress before she had time to catch her breath. Her bra went the same way before he lifted her again and threw her onto the bed as if she were a rag doll, his eyes glittering with a mixture of anger and sexual hunger that made Kate’s stomach dip."At night, I’m happy to give you all the attention you could possibly want," he growled, his shoes, trousers, and shirt hitting the floor with barely controlled savagery until he stood in his silk boxers. "This is the only bed you’ll ever sleep in." The boxers joined the rest of his clothes, revealing his powerful, unashamedly aroused body in all its glory. "But I wouldn’t bank on sleeping for many hours yet."Kate stared up at him, her breath coming in shallow gasps as she struggled to control the wild excitement that was pounding through her veins. She was conscious that she was wearing nothing but a pair of tiny lace pants and the pric
