Page 11 of His Willing Wife

Tillie didn’t have a clue whatshe was doing. She could cookand bake, even clean, and hold a conversation, but sex … all sheknew was what she had read.

“I don’t sleep in clothes, and I’m not aboutto start.”

He further surprised her by the feel of hisfingers sliding across her stomach.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Simple, I’m going to hold my wife as Isleep. Do you have a problem with that?”

“No.” Her answer didn’t quite sound right,so she cleared her throat and then responded, “No, I don’t.”

“Good.”

She didn’t know how they managed it, but Luca was curled againsther back, an arm banded around her waist, and she felt the lengthof him nestle against her ass. She wasn’t uncomfortable. In fact,she felt so relaxed, and slowly, minute by minute, her eyelidsstarted to feel heavy, and then sleep claimed her.

Chapter Four

Luca didn’t sleep with anyone.

He knew what it was like to be forced toshare a bed, with not one, but three to four boys, toconserve room. He could thankone of his many foster parents for his love of being in a bed onhis own—a largebed.

Even as he’d gotten older and began to earnhis fortune, he never allowed a woman to sleep in his bed besidehim. They all had to leave once he was done with them.

Staring down at Tillie, who was still fastasleep, he had no idea what made her so different.

After he’d taken her virginity and they’dgotten back to his home, he’d put her in the spare bedroom as hefelt that would have been the safest place for her and him.He hadn’t didn’t shareda bed in so long. Last night, after eating his dinner and theninitiating some ground rules, something had changed. He didn’t wantto keep watching Tillie on his cell phone, and he certainly didn’twant this silence either, where he felt she was avoidinghim.

Luca hadn’t known if this was going towork. Tillie had fallen asleep first. It had given him space to beable to enjoy holdingher. He held her, pressing his face close to her neck, breathingher in. She smelled amazing. She felt wonderful in his arms, and hecouldn’t get enough of her. All he wanted was Tillie.

These feelings were not going away. Part ofhim had expected them to disappear, if not fade away after theirfirst sexual encounter, but that hadn’t happened.

Admittedly, the sex had been awful.But his fascination with herhadn’t wavered. It had gotten stronger.

She let out a soft moan and then gave alittle wriggle. He tightened his grip around her waist and watchedas she suddenly seemed to freeze into place, and slowly becomeaware of him there. She turned to look at him.

“Good morning,” he said.

“Morning.”

He couldn’t help but chuckle as her cheeksturned red. “Don’t worry, nothing has happened.”

“I know.”

“Then why are you embarrassed?”

She gave a little adorable shrug, and hecouldn’t help but chuckle.

“Tell me.”

“I’m … kind of not used to waking up nextto a guy,” she said. “You know, the whole virgin thing kind ofmakes waking up next to a guy impossible.”

He liked that.

Her lips looked way too tempting, and hejust couldn’t deny himself the pleasure of taking a kiss. Leaning down, he pressedhis lips against hers, and Tillie immediately melted againsthim.

At first, she let out a little gasp, andthen she placed her handon his arm. He had expected her to push him away. Tillie was fullof surprises, as she didn’t shove him back, but slowly moved herhand up his arm, almost caressing, and then circling his neck. Sheheld onto him, and Luca seeing it as an invitation, deepened thekiss. He heard her soft, subtle moan, which he swalloweddown.

Gripping her hip, he rolled her over so that she was facinghim, and Tillie moved her leg, placing hers over him, riding highup onto his hip.
