The Sheik's Reluctant Hostage (The Quabeca Sheiks Series Book 2) Read online

  “What a bright child,” Basil said wryly. He imagined her as a very talkative and mischievous child. Those traits she possessed did not grow overnight.

  “I was actually.” Basil’s narrowed as he watched Saja’s tongue flick at the corner of her mouth. Saja did not have to do much to make him want her. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Saja asked him when she noticed his stare growing darker.

  Instead of responding, he stood up from the table. Grabbing his wife by the hand, he tugged her to her feet with one hand while he grabbed his cake slice with the other. “Come with me,” he commanded, as he pulled her into the bedroom.

  “What are you doing?” Saja asked as she attempted to pull her hand from his grasp. Sliding his hand to her wrist, he tightened his grasp as he set his cake down. Walking her backwards, he brought her gently to the plush throw rug in front of the fireplace.

  “I thought it would be more fun to enjoy my cake in here,” he replied as he began unbuttoning her shirt. Basil silenced her intended protest with a kiss as he pulled her shirt open. Pulling her to a sitting position, he removed her shirt and her bra quickly followed. Pushing her back down, he reached for his cake. Giving her a wicked grin, he scooped up some of the frosting and covered both of her nipples. Leaning over her, he gave her a smouldering look as he flicked his tongue out to taste the frosting on her right nipple. He chuckled as Saja gasped, arching up to meet his mouth. He licked around her areola as her nipples perked up into hard nubs. As his hot mouth closed over her nipple, Saja thrashed beneath him. Stilling her with one hand, he made short work of both nipples, which had Saja gasping for breath.

  “Mmmmm,” he hummed against her, “I do like the taste of the frosting, I think I want some more.” Whimpering, Saja clutched at the throw rug as Basil reached for the clasp on her skirt. Lifting her hips, he pulled both her skirt and panties off at the same time. Pushing her legs far apart, he settled between them as he smeared the remaining frosting onto her mound. Her clit was already hard and swollen and he took his time covering it in frosting as Saja thrashed around.

  Lifting her hips slightly, Basil took great pleasure in licking and sucking his way through the creamy frosting. When he reached her clit, he sucked hard as he thrust two fingers deep inside her. Saja cried out as she came, bucking hard against his hand. The combination of frosting mixed with Saja’s cream was a tasty treat that Basil decided he wanted to repeat more often.

  Not allowing Saja time to come down, he quickly unzipped his pants. Lifting her legs to his shoulders, he slammed into her enjoying the feel of her contracting muscles as she spasmed around him. Moving swiftly in and out, he brought her to another orgasm as he ejaculated deep inside her.

  Smiling at his wife, Basil was pleased that he married a woman who knew how to cook. He knew that he would enjoy eating more of her desserts.

  Chapter 3

  Saja stood in front of the garage with her mouth wide open. Mona had informed her that the Cadillac Escalade hybrid that they were looking at was hers. Basil had bought the car for her. Saja did not know how much it was but she could tell that it was expensive. She turned on her heel and headed to his office. His secretary stood up immediately and bowed her head when she saw Saja.

  Basil was sitting at his desk going through some paperwork when Saja walked in. “Habibti,” he said without looking up from his desk. Mona and Amber waited outside. Basil put his paperwork down and held Saja's hand. She smiled at him and sat on his lap.

  “You bought me a car,” Saja stated as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

  “Do you like it?” he asked.

  “It's expensive.”

  “My wife deserves the best,” he replied and kissed her on the cheek. Saja felt the redness creeping into her cheeks. She was still not used to being referred to her as his wife. She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.

  “I could have bought my own car,” her voice was melting away. Being near Basil made her nervous. She felt butterflies in her stomach and her knees felt weak. She had come into his office determined to make him take the car back but being around him broke her resolve.

  “No, I will provide everything for my wife,” Basil said and pressed a small kiss to her lips. The touch of his lips made her smile. He pulled her closer to him and deepened the kiss. Saja closed her eyes and let him kiss her. He rubbed her thighs and groaned. They were so soft and firm.

  “You should be wearing a dress,” Basil said to her and started kissing her neck. It took Saja a moment to reply. She could barely concentrate on what he was saying. The touch of his lips on her neck was too distracting.

  “Mhmm we... are...not discussing…ah!... my wardrobe.” Saja could barely speak without moaning. She was wearing shorts, knee-high leather boots and a t-shirt. She knew Basil would not approve but she did not care. It was fun to tease him.

  “I don't want anyone seeing these legs, my legs.” Basil groaned as he caressed her thighs. Rising, he shifted her to his desk and pushed her onto her back. He took her top off and squeezed her breasts, as he lowered his head to kiss them.

  “Basil, we are not doing this in your office,” Saja said and giggled.

  “Why not? Quabeca is mine. So I can take you wherever and whenever I want.”

  Saja giggled and blushed. She liked this side of him when he was authoritative and an alpha male. He unclipped her bra and threw it on the floor. He kissed her breasts and caressed them. He loved the feel of them in his hands and his mouth. They were so full, soft and luscious. Saja unbuttoned his shirt. She ran her hands down his rock hard chest.

  Basil took Saja's shorts and panties off before removing his own. She gasped as he eased into her. She was still sensitive from last night, but he felt so good. She dropped back onto the desk and closed her eyes. He moved gently in and out of her cradling her hips as if she would break. When they came together this time, it was sweet and loving.

  * * * * *

  Saja could barely walk. Her legs felt wobbly. She was still out of breath and felt a bit disoriented. It always took her a while to come back to her senses after they had sex. He took her to another world. She felt things that she could not explain. Her body would sing songs in every language. Saja kept sighing with pleasure as she picked up her clothes and got dressed.

  “I'm going into town,” Saja announced as she wrapped her arms around him.

  Hugging her tight, he kissed the top of her head. “Come back soon,” he replied as he grabbed her bottom.

  “I will,” she said as she kissed him. “Good luck with that,” she added as she looked at his desk. His paperwork was all over the place. They had completely messed everything up. Saja laughed and kissed him on the cheek before heading for the door.

  “You're not even going to help me clean this up?” Basil complained as Saja walked to the door.

  “Nope.”

  Basil shook his head and started picking up the papers. Saja blew him a kiss and shut the door behind her. Basil smiled to himself. Every little thing that she did made him smile. He loved her so much more than she knew.

  Mona and Amber stood up when Saja walked out of Basil's office. They had been waiting for her for a while. They figured out what was going on when they saw her scruffy hair. She was still trying to fix it. She smiled at them and straightened her top.

  “Let's go,” Saja said to them.

  “Feeling delightful?” Mona teased. She could not help but tease Saja.

  “What?” She turned her head and looked at her before she started laughing. “Erm, you could say that,” she added and kept laughing.

  “Well, they are still in their newlywed stage. I guess it means they can do it anywhere,” Amber said.

  “Did you hear us?” Saja's cheeks turned red.

  “Oh no, don't worry,” Mona started laughing. She blushed at the thought of hearing them. That would be extremely awkward.

  The three of them headed to the garage. Amber handed Saja the keys. She was excited to be able to drive. She like
d large SUVs, but she never thought that she would be able to drive one, as they were too expensive.

  “Hehe,” Saja giggled with excitement as she stuck the key in the ignition. She buckled her seatbelt and started reversing the SUV out of the garage. Mona was sitting in the front passenger seat and Amber sat in the back. Saja was headed to explore the area. She realised that since she had been in Quabeca, she had not really seen it.

  Saja had the window open and was enjoying breeze while she drove. The roads were so different to the roads in London. It was difficult to drive in central London. There was always a lot of traffic and parking was always difficult. It was simply easier to take the Tube. In Quabeca, the roads were large and there wasn't much traffic. The air was clean. She loved it more than she thought she would.

  “We are here,” Saja said as she parked. “I think?” she added and turned to look at Mona.

  “We are,” Mona said and smiled.

  As they got out, Saja stood there with her hands on her hips looking at the large indoor mall. It was elegantly built. She started walking towards it. While she was not usually someone who spent much time shopping, she was looking forward to seeing what it was like inside. The architecture was intriguing and it was very different to the malls she was used to in London.

  “Is that Saja?” Akeem asked as he pointed her out to his mother and brother, Aman. The three of them were sitting in the car preparing to leave when they saw her.

  “It is that bitch indeed,” Abia said vehemently. Her expression darkened as soon as she saw Saja. The very sight of her made her skin crawl. Her mouth watered with hunger for revenge.

  “Any sight of the Prince?” Aman asked.

  “No, only the two other women,” Akeem replied.

  They decided to wait in the car until she returned as Abia wanted to confront her. Since she was faced with the opportunity, she was not going to let it go. Her husband was at home with their other son still packing. The thought of it angered her. They had less than a week left to move out of the house. She was not ready to do that yet. She had birthed and raised her sons in that house. It was not easy to let go.

  Chapter 4

  Saja and her two maids walked around the mall, admiring the extravagance. Saja found herself standing in front of a lingerie shop. She wanted to buy something sexy to wear for Basil. Jordan was always in her ear about it. She had suggested that it would be a great adventure for their marriage if she dressed up a little for him. As Saja wandered around the store, she felt lost. She had no idea what to choose.

  “Maybe this was not a good idea,” Saja said. There were too many choices; she did not know where to start.

  “It is definitely a great idea. It spices up the marriage,” the shop assistant said to Saja.

  “We are newlyweds, there is no need for spicing up,” Saja said and started smiling as she remembered the last few hours. She remembered Basil's hands all over her. Even though he had made love to her the night before and that afternoon, it still wasn't enough. She could never get enough of her husband. She was happy she waited until she was married. He was the only man she ever wanted to make love to her. She could never imagine being with anyone else.

  “Congratulations,” the shop assistant said with a big smile.

  “Thank you.”

  The shop assistant kept showing Saja options while Mona and Amber helped Saja decide. After they finished shopping, they sat down to enjoy some ice cream.

  “Have you met any of Basil's past lovers? What were they like?” Saja randomly asked as she licked her ice cream in the most unfeminine way. If Basil saw her, he probably would not approve. She pulled out her phone and took a picture of herself licking the ice cream so that she could show him later. She giggled as she put the phone in her pocket. It still amused her to tease him.

  Amber and Mona looked at each other. The question Saja had just asked was random. She did not even seem like she was bothered by it.

  “Why do you ask, your highness?” Amber questioned.

  “I am curious. I'm sure that I’m nothing like them. In fact, I don't think I'm his type. Am I?” Saja asked. She realised that she did not know if she was his type. She had never asked. Mona and Amber looked at each other and waited for the other to reply.

  “Well, you are much better than his previous lovers,” Amber finally said.

  “Definitely,” Mona added.

  “Relax, I simply want to know what his taste is like. I am not going to be jealous or angry, I swear,” Saja said. Amber and Mona clearly did not want to upset her. They were choosing their words carefully.

  “Well, the Prince was never in any commitment for long,” Amber said. Saja was not surprised by that. The man was not good with people; women especially. Saja had first-hand experience.

  “That is not a surprise, tell me more,” Saja said with a grin.

  “Mostly, tall, gorgeous, model looking, not very intelligent, obnoxious, self-centred women,” Mona said. Amber and Saja both looked at her with their mouths open.

  “Wow,” Saja said and started laughing. They walked out into the sun. “I take it that you didn’t like them,” she added.

  “Well, I always thought that they were not up to his standards.”

  “Mona!” Amber called out.

  “It's okay, let her say her opinion,” Saja said.

  “But the two of you make a perfect match. You're both intelligent and beautiful,” Mona smiled at her as Saja laughed.

  “We do not make a perfect match. We are the opposite, have you forgotten how we met?”

  The three of them started laughing as they remembered. Suddenly there was a tall, slim woman standing in front of Saja. She appeared to be in her early fifties. She stared at Saja with a look of hatred.

  “Excuse ma'am, can we help you?” Amber asked her, immediately on the defence. She and Mona were very protective of Saja especially since she had refused a security detail. Since not many people knew her, she thought that there would be no point. The woman looked Saja up and down.

  “So, you can simply carry on living your life as normal even though you have ruined the lives of others?” the woman asked.

  “Do I know you?” Saja asked.

  “Mother, don't bother with her,” Akeem said as he approached them. Saja looked up and saw him coming from a black car. She recognised the man in the driver's seat, it was Aman.

  “You are El-Tamar's wife,” Saja said slowly. She had not met his wife when she was at his house and she did not want to meet her now. She had had about enough with the whole family.

  “Disrespectful bitch!” Abia shouted.

  “I have done nothing wrong to you, so please do not speak to me like that.”

  “You have done nothing?” Abia was looking at Saja with such disgust. “Because of you, my family lost everything we spent years building,” she added.

  “No, that had nothing to do with me. That was your husband and your son's fault,” Saja was starting to get really angry. El-Tamar and his son had ruined their lives on their own. It had nothing to do with her and she was not going to take the blame for it.

  Suddenly Abia slapped Saja. She couldn't hold herself back any longer. The sight of her and the sound of her voice angered her even more. Saja slapped Abia back instantly. There was no way she was going to stand there and allow herself to be treated like that. Mona and Amber jumped in front of Saja to protect her. Aman drove the car closer to them. He got out of the car and left the doors open.

  “Let's take her,” he shouted as he ran out of the car. He punched Amber and watched her body fall to the ground with a thud. Mona and Saja gasped.

  “Take her? What?” Akeem was lost. The situation had just spiralled out of control. He expected his mother to confront Saja and leave.

  “Get her in the car while I drive,” Abia shouted as she ran to the car. She had been discussing kidnapping Saja with Aman and her other son Anwar but never thought that they would have the opportunity so
quickly. They wanted to take her and punish her for what she had put them through. They planned to ransom back some of their wealth using her.

  “Don't just stand there,” Aman shouted to Akeem. He was still standing there grasping the situation.

  “Your highness, run,” Mona shouted to Saja. She started swinging her shopping bags at them. She was not much of a fighter but at least she could hold them off while Saja fled to safety. However, Saja refused to run. She wouldn't leave Amber and Mona by themselves. Amber was holding onto Aman's leg. Saja whacked him in the head with her shopping bag, as he was about to kick Amber. Aman slapped Saja with the back of his hand.

  “Hurry!” Abia shouted. She was getting nervous as people were noticing. Some people had their phones out, presumably calling the police. Aman picked Saja up, threw her over his shoulder and ran to the car. He threw her in the back seat and punched her a few times. Akeem was trying to flee but Mona would not let him go. She bit and scratched him.
