Chapter 26
It took all of Amir will power not to push Sarah against the wall and devour her lips as they walked toward her room. Lips he had been gazing at throughout the whole night and thinking of imaginable things he could do with it. Her red lipsticks only added to the desire to taste her. How can a woman affect him so?
They walked toward her room in quietness, both lost in their thoughts. As they reach Sarah's door, she breaks the silence "Thank you for dinner, I had a great time. Your uncle seems like a wonderful person"
Instead of answering her, Sarah looks up to see Amir's intense gaze on her, her back was toward him when she uttered the words, so she half turns to look up at him, his gaze upon her gave her goosebumps and she found herself swallowing her spit. With her brain running a million per minute, she hastens to open her door, only to have Amir stop her movement as he places his right hand on top of hers on the door handle. Next thing she knew; his lips were next to her right ear "why are you running Sarah"
"I am not running; I was just..."
"You were just what?"
She couldn't conjure any words, for the breath of Amir against her ear was giving her more than goosebumps and making her feel as if she was drowning.
As Amir watched Sarah opening her door, he knew that if he let her entered, he would miss his chance. He stopped her movement, by placing his right hand on top of hers on the door handle, bent down and whispered in her ear. She was shaking, her intake of breath showed that she was much more affected than he. Taking advantage of that, he slowly turned her around. She was nervous as he was, but not nervous enough to stop him from doing what he has been dreaming of doing ever since he laid eyes on her in that banquet.
Placing both of his hands against her face, he lowered his face, he watched her eyes widen as she came upon realization of what he was going to do and he thought 'to late kitten, no one would be able to stop me from claiming that sweet peach of yours' with no more hesitation he claims Sarah lips as if it was the most delicious peach he had ever tasted"
Sarah was unable to move, as she watched Amir lower his head and realize what was going happen. She had to stop him before he could...but before she could take action, Amir had claimed her lips in slow tango gesture.
She felt his tongue upon her lips as he slowly kisses them, making her lose all of her senses. Next thing she knew; her arms went around his neck.
Seen her movement, Amir took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, bringing her body closer to his and demanding entrance into her sweet haven. The moment she opened her mouth to allow him entrance and their tongue met Amir, felt that he was losing control. Pushing her against the wall, he positioned himself in a way for her to feel his growing membrane. His body and hers were on fire. Her hands were all over his hair as she met his movement. Her lips were sweeter than he thought.
Sarah insides were a mess; she could feel her desires as Amir deepens their kiss. As he pushed her against the wall, every restriction she had told herself went flying out the window. All she could think and feel were Amir's lips against hers. She felt something poking her against her dress, Amir had positioned himself in between her legs, and breaking the kiss she looks down to found the front of Amir pants had this huge bulge.
Amir took that opportunity to kiss her neck and whispered "have you ever heard of the Arabian horse"
Unable to speak she shook her head no. With a quick movement, Amir picked up Sarah, opened her door, closed it with his legs and went straight for the bed. He was none to gentle as he lowered and devour her mouth. He had told himself to simply kiss her, but the more he tasted her the more he desires grew. He couldn't stop himself and thus the restriction he had placed on himself came crashing down and all he wanted was to possess Sarah, body, and soul. She was his whether she'll like it or not, but just as he places his hands on her breast. She stopped his movement.
Surprise, he looks up to her face, to see her struggling but determine "we can't sleep together"
"Excuse me?"
"We can't do this" she gestures between the two of them"
"And why not dear," says he as he gave her breast a gentle squeeze earning a low moan from Sarah.
"Amir stops, please"
"Give me one good reason to stop, to stop me from owning you tonight"
Sarah was a bit ashamed to admit it, but she knew if she didn't, things will go far between them, how could she admit she had never had s*x before.
Seen her struggle, Amir stops with his gesture and instead pushed a lock of her hair against her face "Tell me what's wrong, you can tell me"
Avoiding Amir gaze, she whispered "I am still a virgin"
Amir whole body froze "excuse me, what did you just say"
Feeling all of a sudden ashamed, Sarah crossed her arms in front of her as a form of protection, she avoided Amir gaze as she said it again "I am still a virgin, can you please get off of me"
Shocked was the least of Amir's problem, he had heard her correctly alright, she was a virgin. A virgin! He looked at her face to see her embarrassment, the heat that was there a minute ago had vanished, rather a sense of pride and a feeling that Amir didn't want to admit yet, had come forth. He kissed her and felt her becoming a bit relaxed, he broke the kiss and put his forehead against her "there's no need for you to feel ashamed, thank you for telling me"
The look that he was giving her was so intense; she wished she could guess what he was thinking. He got up from the bed, fixed his disarray clothes and helped her to sit on the bed. He didn't say anything; instead, he gave her a light kiss then headed out the door.
Sarah didn't know what to make out of what just happened. Did she do the right thing by revealing her secret? Would he stop pursuing her, just because she was a virgin? With all those thoughts going through her brain, she took off her clothes and went back to lying on the bed. A deep sadness overtook her, and it took all her will power not to cry and before she knew it, sleep came knocking at her door and she fell into a deep slumber.
As Amir left the room, his plan had been simple; change into his pajamas and come back to sleep with her, which was what he did. However, when he went back into her room, he saw her fast asleep and in only her underwear. Any other man would have taken advantage of the situation. She was wearing lace underwear with a matching bra. Automatically his membrane gave a kick 'down boy, this is not the moment, be on your best' as if talking to himself would have helped him.
He truly wanted her tonight, but he had to bid his time now. He had to do things correctly. He would court her, he would please her, he would cherish her and when she's fallen in love with him, then he would take what he has now claimed as rightfully his. He had been deeply hurt before, but with Sarah, he feels that maybe, that just maybe she is that sunshine he had been looking for all along.
Putting the cover on top of her, Amir slip in behind her, brought her back to his torso. He heard her murmur, but the sound of her breath told him she was still fast asleep. Lowering his arms around her stomach, he kisses her on her neck and readies himself to fall asleep. For the first time in years, Amir felt this sense of peace with a hopeful future as he falls asleep.
