Carol Marinelli: Captive For The Sheikh's Pleasure

His sinful desert seduction...

Sheikh Ilyas al-Razim was born to be king. He won’t let anything stand in his way, especially not the waitress daring to think she can blackmail him! It’s his duty to protect his family’s honor—even if it means taking impossibly stunning Maggie Delaney as his hostage...

Beneath the starlit skies of Zayrinia’s desert, defiant Maggie convinces Ilyas she is innocent of his accusations. No longer his prisoner, Maggie is free to return home...yet now she’s held captive by their smoldering raw desire! Dare she surrender to the pleasure this desert prince promises?

Ilyas’s mouth moved with hers and the scent of him was enticing.

Maggie found that her hands had moved to his chest and then upwards, so that her arms linked around his neck as she accepted the sensual bliss of his tongue.

This was a kiss, Maggie thought. The caress of his tongue was welcomed by hers and the taste of them together was divine.

Maggie found herself aching to be held more fiercely, to know completely his embrace, and yet he kissed her as if they had all the time in the world.

They had all the time he required, Maggie thought suddenly, for she was, after all, his prisoner. And at that crude dawning realisation she pulled back.

Ilyas had anticipated that she would—the attraction between them was undeniable, and yet he had known she would fight it.

Her breath was ragged and her eyes blinked rapidly as he continued to hold her face. Their lips were moist and their chests were close to touching.

Maggie opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it, for she didn’t know what to say.

‘Please.’ She looked at him. ‘That was a mistake.’

‘It didn’t feel like one,’ Ilyas answered. ‘It still doesn’t.’

CAROL MARINELLI recently filled in a form asking for her job title. Thrilled to be able to put down her answer, she put ‘writer’. Then it asked what Carol did for relaxation and she put down the truth—‘writing’. The third question asked for her hobbies. Well, not wanting to look obsessed, she crossed her fingers and answered ‘swimming’—but, given that the chlorine in the pool does terrible things to her highlights, I’m sure you can guess the real answer!
