She touched his face, and a groan erupted from his throat.
A whimpering, mewling sound came from hers. Mortification would have set in, if the king wasn’t equally as needy.
After who knew how long, Juan Carlos placed his hands on both her shoulders and, she sensed, with great reluctance eased her away.
