Ghungroo - The Siren Call of Lovers (#1 - Completed)

Chapter 44 - Wanting Him -Again!

Chapter 44

The following morning we rise early. 

Riaan had set his alarm on his cell phone the night before and the sound of it ringing now pierces through the warm slumber of the room.

Sure enough, the hotel phone on the nightstand next to him rings at the same time, further pulling me out of sleep and into wakefulness.

It's a wake up call from reception I discover, as I hear Riaan thank the front desk receptionist on the other side of the line. He replaces the phone in its cradle, switches off the alarm on his cell phone and sinks back into the bed we share.

My eyes are closed and I feel him snuggle up to me. He puts one arm around my waist and pulls me to him.

We're spooning!

Such a commonplace thing to do with a lover, yet it's loaded with so much meaning for me that my stomach twists.

"Wake up, Jaanu," I hear him whisper as he buries his head in my hair.

I pretend I'm sleeping.

"I know you're awake, Layla."

Still, I remain silent.

"There's other ways I could wake you up, you know."

I feel his hand wander up to my breasts and lightly squeeze one.

Wicked, wicked man.

The action  brings me out of pretending and I sit up immediately.

The rich low rumble of his laughter fills the room.

He is impossible.

I giggle.

He must know I'm sore after last night. We hardly got any sleep at all. How many times did we do it? I lost count after the third time.

Sure enough, I feel the soreness in my body. But it feels nice. It feels like I've been throughly ravished and I like that.

Ravished?...Damn, do I love that word! It's growing on me.

I fall back into bed and immediately, he pulls me to him again.

"I'm going to take a shower. Come join me?"

His voice is soft, playful.

It's dark in the room and my back is to him, but I can hear the smile in his voice and know without seeing that he has a big grin sitting on his face.

"Mmmmm...You're impossible.... How many hours of sleep did we get? Three, four hours?"

"That question is irrelevant, Layla. The right question to ask is how many times did we make each other come last night? I'd say not as much as I'd like."

He nibbles my neck, that erogenous zone he has learnt which drives me crazy.

"You are impossible. And insatiable, Riaan. Are you already complaining about my inexperience in bed now?"

Although I say this playfully, it is something that bothers me somewhat.

He rolls onto his back pulling me onto him in the process. I am flush against his body and gazing down at him.

Sure enough, there's a big grin on his face. I'm pretty sure it is reflected on my face too.

How is it possible for two people to become so comfortable with each other in a matter of days...Not even days...in a matter of hours actually.
