Page 61 of About Love and Revenge

I take her in my arms and carry her to bed. Things between us happen with such intensity, such desperate escalation, that if I don't move quickly, we'll end up making love on the closet floor.

Elina deserves so much more.

I've just taken off my clothes and she's watching. There's an almost childlike curiosity on her face, as if she's standing in front of an amusement park, about to try out her favorite ride.

It's a different feeling.

Whenever I’ve gone to bed with a woman, I’ve been in control of the situation. I’ve never been lost in emotions, or if I was, only during the few minutes leading up to orgasm.

With Elina it's a game of equals. She gives as much as she demands.She shares as much as she receives. Even when she begs for her pleasure, she doesn't let herself be dominated, and that turns me on too much.

I take off my boxers, and when I'm completely naked, her eyes widen a little.

“Spread your legs for me. I wanna see you."

She obeys, showing me what I will soon possess.

"Touch yourself."

My delicious woman shifts her hand to her sex, just placing it there, without making any movement. “I'm already wet for you,” she says, spreading her thighs farther apart.

“I know, but I want to see you pleasure yourself."

She finally gives in, playing with her soaked sex. As an involuntary reflection of her actions, I palm my cock lightly. I watch in fascination as she moves her finger in circles over her clit, and it doesn't take long; her hips fidget, showing me how aroused she is.

“Open yourself with your other hand, but don't stop touching your clit."

She obeys and I approach.

"Continue."Leaning over her, I brush the tip of my erection across her entrance, and we both moan.

She raises her hips a little, but I immobilize her.

“None of that. Stay still. You're only allowed to feel."

“You said I was in charge."

“To tell me to stop if you want, not to decide when I'll take you. I don't wanna hurt you. I need you to be ready."

She doesn't contradict me, but provocatively, she shows even more of herself, thighs widening to receive me.

"Delicious."I lift the hand that was touching her sex and spread the wetness from her fingers on my cock. To my surprise, she starts masturbating me.

I lightly test the tip of my shaft on her clit, and she moans loudly. “Odin, please. You are torturing both of us."

“My sorceress. What are you doing to me, Elina?"

As much as I'd like to continue the game, I can't contain myself anymore.

I open the side table drawer and take out a condom. I'm clean because I never have unprotected sex, but her being a virgin, I doubt she's on the pill.

I rip open the plastic wrapper, and she leans on her elbows to look as I slide it on.

I climb onto the bed, but I don't touch her yet. I hover over her body, watching her writhe in anticipation.

“Please . . .”

Disobediently, she lifts her hips again.
