All Chapters of Taken by Surprise: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Cruz lifted lifted Shea in his muscular arms and laid her gently on the bed, stretching out beside her. His mouth took a journey over her cheeks, her forehead, her jawline, her neck, to that tender place where neck and shoulder join. As he bit gently on it one palm cradled a breast, thumb and forefinger pinching the nipple.Moisture pooled between her thighs, coating them with its slickness and the quivering in her pussy began again. The beat of her pulse thrummed throughout her body. She reached up a hand to caress his cheek but he grasped it gently and placed it on the pillow beside her head."Uh-uh, mi amor. I don't want anything distracting me while I learn every curve and swell, every place of slickness and heat that your body offers."He returned the hand to her breast and she felt the heat of it against her skin. Her nipple ached to be touched again, to be teased and tormented but instead Cruz bent his head and captured it with his mouth.The surface of his tongue was rough

The night air was cool so Cruz had left the sliding doors open to catch the breeze. Overhead a ceiling fan turned lazily, drawing in not only the air but also the heady scents of the flowering shrubs and trees. Once again Shea was stretched out on the soft sheets of his bed, naked, his mouth and tongue and fingers making a slow journey over her body.In the dim light of the bedside lamp she could see the taut planes of his face and the dark pools of his eyes, eyes that returned again and again to lock with hers. Her breasts ached from his gentle kneading while his mouth pulled at her nipples and his teeth grazed their pebbled surface. The flesh of his back beneath her palms, was warm and under the tight covering of skin she could feel the play of solid muscles.His touch everywhere lit up her nerves and accelerated every pulse in her body. The swirl of his tongue at her navel. The nip of his teeth at the soft flesh below it. Those damnable kisses teasing at the backs of her knees and

"I understand." Shea took another sip of coffee. "Not that it's any of my business but exactly how many companies do you own?"He chuckled. "If I tell you, will your fee go up?""Don't be ridiculous. I charge what I charge. I was just curious."They had reached the stage by this time. Cruz sat on the edge of it and motioned for her to join him. "I could have walked into my father's business, you know. I'm sure you heard the story. But I've always had this obsession to earn whatever I got. So I took money I'd saved and began flipping houses."She nodded. "Buying old ones, rehabbing them and selling them for more money.""That's it. But other things began to interest me, so I went after companies that fit the bill. Now there are ten separate entities under the Castillo Corporation banner. Is that enough information?""I wasn't prying," she said hastily. "Just trying to understand the man you are.""The man I am is busy getting ready to wow his clients tonight." He waved his hand b

If they gave medals for kissing, Shea thought, this man would take the gold. His tongue swept in, tasting every inch of her, pressing against the roof of her mouth, running his tongue over her teeth then plunging it deep, deep, deep. He shifted the angle of his head to go even deeper, then dragged his tongue out and licked a pattern around her lips. By the time he moved to other parts of her body, she felt as slick and heavy as molten nickels.Cruz's hands were warm on her breasts, squeezing them gently, licking the nipples and grazing his teeth across them."So beautiful," he told her in a thick voice. "So gorgeous. A man could feast on these forever."Every touch sent spikes of electricity through her, straight to her throbbing pussy. His tongue flicked and retreated, teasing her nipples into an even more distended state. Shea moaned, a low sound in her throat and shifted her body beneath his, trying to urge him to more aggressive activity."Don't rush me," he murmured in a hoars

"She is lying," Safina said, placing a glass of iced tea in front of Shea.John Reston had called a halt to all work until they could get this mess straightened out. Lorena Castillo had waved a marriage license under their noses and everything had shut down. Shea had hightailed it for the hacienda in the golf cart, barely making it into the kitchen to give Safina a bare outline before she heard the Mercedes pull up in front.High heels tapped on the terra cotta tiles as Lorena Castillo made her way to the kitchen. The look she gave Shea was a mixture of disgust and hate."What are you doing in this house?""Getting ready to leave. Don't worry.""Please don't tell me you've been staying here," she spat. "I consider that an outrage."Shea counted to ten before she spoke. "I have a question for you. If you're really Cruz's wife, where have you been all this time? Not anywhere around where people could see you.""Where I've been is incidental. I'm back and you're out. Along with any
