Chapter 11 - affection
And they were naked by the time they made it to the bed.
'did you imagine one helping of Geet would me enough for me?' Maan demanded huskily as he turned her beneath him.
'I think we've entered the land of excess.'
'were not even close yet,' he assured her, moving down on the bed.
'glutton,' she accused him mid-gasp.
'are you complaining?'
'certainly not.' Placing her hands on his shoulders, she put Maan to work again. 'I have no complaints'none whatsoever'except I cant hold on''
'youre not supposed to hold on,' he said, taking her mid scream of pleasure. 'and with every nautical mine we travel were going closer to that land of excess you mentioned''
'you know how competitive I am,' he said nuzzling her lips with his mouth.
'don't ever change,' she murmured as a kiss became a caress, and the caress fired the hunger inside her.
'I have no intention of doing so,' Maan assured her as he took her again.

She didn't mean to spoil the mood, but the closer they became physically, the more she wanted to know about Maan. 'What?' he said, prompting her while they were briefly resting.
'theres something elusive about you.' Easing around in his arms, she stared into his face.
'like all the stuff you wont tell me?' his gaze lingered on her eyepatch. 'school gave you the chance to try rally driving at an early age, and you used to be a good driver. What happened, Geet'when did you become reckless enough to a bend a car round a tree?'
The recklessness had started on the night he left. But this was about Maan and she refused to be distracted. 'my injuries are out there for everyone to see. Your are hidden,' she told himbluntly. 'and whatever youre keeping locked away from me can only have happened while I was in hospital undergoing surgery.'
'very good, Miss Marple. Anymore insights you'd care to share with me?'
'don't make light of it Maan. I just wish you'd share those secrets with me. I understand the responsibilities youre facing, and I know you cant take me with you into that world.'
Maan's answer to this was to stroke and kiss her brow. 'what did I tell you about making the most of this time?'
He said, and, drawing he rinto his arms, he kissed her'lightly, deeply, passionately' 'you worry too much about everything, Geet.'
'about you, maybe,' she admitted, finding it increasingly hard to keep her feeling under wraps.
'I'm the last person you should be worrying about. Im a mighty maharaja, remember?' Maan laughed as he mocked himself, a binding flash of perfect teeth against his smooth dark skin. And then he kissed her again, and tickled her, until she had to beg him to stop, by which time she was crying with laughter.

'You don't need to offer me a job,' Geet murmured, lying warm and contented in Maan's arms after they had made love again. 'your right about this being a wonderful adventure, but when I go home i'll almost certainly pick up my career'and that's thanks to you. You kick-started my brain, my ambition, my lust for life''
'and, for me I hope?'
'do you need to ask?' she said sweeping a gaze down Maan's brazenly exposed body. He didn't even cover himself with a sheet. He just lay there, inviting attention'distracting her so she could hardly think beyond the next bout of pleasure. 'I don't need you to look out for me, Maan'nor must you feel you have to give me a job.'
'who said anything about giving you a job?' folding his arms behind his head, Maan stared at her. 'youll have to compete for the various contracts along with everyone else. I canr be seen to favour anyone or that would mean a return to the old ways. Im doing you no favours, Geet, other than putting you in the way of opportunity.'
'so'' she frowned.
'so?' Maan probed.
'is that the only reason you brought me here?'
'I cant think of any other'can you?'
He had to move fast to dodge the pillow she threw at him.
