Sands of Time - The Al-Hakim brothers - Javier and Amanda story - Completed

Chapter Six

Laughing, Mandy wrapped her arms around Javier's neck, smiling up at him, never feeling on such a high. What a day, then dinner, followed by the ballet. She still found it hard to believe, he would be interested in her. "I have had the best day," she beamed.

"We are blocking the doorway," he noted, lifting Mandy off her feet, walking her inside, allowing Kamilah to brush pass as he lowered his dark head and kissed her passionately. "So you like the ballet?" He asked softly against her lips.

"Yes, the whole night, thank you Javier."

He lowered her feet back onto the ground, gathering her face in his hands, his eyes burning into hers. "My pleasure. You were the most beautiful woman there tonight," he breathed huskily.

"Javier, you say the nicest things," she moaned, stepping closer into him. "You spoilt me totally. What, with the dress and all. I wish you wouldn't be so generous."

"Well, sweets, you better get used to it," he corrected, tilting her head back, kissing her again. This time parting her lips, tasting her hungrily, groaning. Her arms tightened around his neck, savouring him. His hands dropped and roamed freely over her curves, mouldering her into his frame.

"If you two are interested, coffee is in the lounge," Kamilah called, only to be waved away by Javier, not breaking the kiss. Finally he eased back, pulling on her bottom lip with his own.

"I think for both our sakes, we better join Kamilah," his lips brushed her teasingly, only to deepen when she shook her head, her hold tightening. She ran fingers through his thick, silky, soft hair though gasped, when his fingers brushed over that side of her breasts that became bolder as she opened to him, moved against his body in invitation. She was on fire and wanted so much more. "Amanda," he groaned as in pain, "beloved, this is where you are supposed to say stop."

She kissed him more, rubbing up against him. Muttering under his breath, he pulled away before he lost total control. Lips parted, breathing laboured, her eyes opened, looking up at Javier, confused. Didn't he understand, what he meant to her? He gathered her into his arms, holding her, trembling with need. "You, my love, are far too tempting."

Taking hold of her hand, Javier walked her towards the lounge room, where Kamilah was seated, and looked up, raising a brow at their disarrayed appearance. Sitting down, Javier tugged Mandy down at his side, and was handed over a cup of coffee.

Stunned, she looked at the cup that she placed down on the coffee table in front of them, cheeks flushed. Making her excuses, Mandy fled towards the bathroom. Running cold water, she splashed water over her hot, burning cheeks.

Mandy looked up into the wall mirror above the basin, seeing how wanton she looked, only to moan, splashing more water over her face, not sure what had just taken place. All she could think about was his burning, madding, kisses, driving her mad with need. What must he be thinking! A knock at the door had her grabbing for a towel, wiping her face, and called out enter. Much to her relief, Kamilah entered.

"I thought you might want to change." Gratefully, she took the long sleeved full length nighty, and matching negligee.

"Sorry about before," she offered, tucking hair that had fallen free, behind her ear, slightly embarrassed by her behaviour. After all, she was a guest, and shouldn't be smooching with her brother like that.

Kamilah burst out laughing to her surprise. "It is so nice to see my ever so controlled brother out of control. You have nothing to be embarrassed about Mandy. You two belong together." With a wink she was gone.

Emerging from the bathroom changed, Mandy headed towards the bedroom, where she was staying that night, placing down the gown on the bed carefully, and turned to leave, only to gasp, stepping back at the sight of Javier.
