“I know it’s not...” She paused before adding, “Attractive.”
His smile faded. “Don’t do that again.”
“Do what?”
“Say a part of you isn’t attractive.”
“It’s the truth.”
“Who’s truth? Not mine.”
This time, her chuckle held no mirth. “You don’t have to flatter me,” she told him. “We’re already in bed. Compliments are no longer needed.”
Compliments? Had her husband verbally abused her so badly that she couldn’t recognize the truth from empty flattery? Orazio rose to his knees. She sat up and covered her breasts with her hands.
“Lay back down,” he ordered.
“I thought you’d changed your mind.”
“Lay down,” he said, angrier than he should be.
“We don’t have to...”
Too angry to speak, he grabbed her ankles and pulled her down to him. She yelped, then snapped her lips shut. Shocked silent, she simply stared up at him as he leaned over her with his hands on either side of her head, caging her in.
“Put your hands behind your head and stay still,” he told her. “I’m going to kiss and lick every part of you that I find attractive. Don’t move, and don’t tell me to stop unless you truly are not enjoying what I’m doing. Nod if you understand.”
Nodding, she obeyed. Raz leaned down and kissed her forehead. She giggled. He held in his smile. But he couldn’t deny the sound of her laughter pleased him. He kissed the tip of her nose.
“Now, you’re just being silly,” she told him.
“When you get to know me better, you’ll learn that I’m always serious.”
“So, you seriously find my nose attractive?”
“When I say I find everything about you attractive, I mean everything. Now, be quiet. I’m working here.”
That granted him another giggle. He pressed his lips to hers, silencing her. He deepened the kiss, caressing her tongue with his. When her arms wrapped around his neck, he pulled away from the kiss. Blinking rapidly, she stared up at him, confused.
“Hands behind your head,” he demanded.
“Oh!” She promptly returned her hands to where they should be.
Raz pressed another quick kiss to her lips before trailing kisses across her cheek and then down her neck, where he paused to lick her until she squirmed. He continued his tour of kisses across her shoulder until he finally dipped down to her breasts.
His Rose shivered when his tongue flicked and then twirled around her hardened nipple. He loved the way it puckered up as if begging for his kiss. His Rose arched her back when he moved to her other breast and showered it with the same amount of attention.
She raised her hips, rubbing her pussy against him. He paused and lowered his head to the valley between her breasts.
“Stay still,” he growled.
She stilled. He took a few deep breaths, trying to regain his composure. This was about showing her how beautiful she was to him. But if she rubbed her pussy against him again, he’d forget about that and fuck her until she couldn’t remember her name.
“I get it,” she whispered. “You find every part of me attractive. Can we get to the other part now?”
He smiled against her breasts. His Rose was just as impatient as him. He was ready to get to the other part, too. However, he wasn’t done appreciating her beauty. Orazio continued trailing kisses down her body.
When he reached her stomach, he felt her tense. He took his time, trailing kisses up and down her belly until she giggled. At least she’d relaxed. Before her giggles could cease, he flipped her onto her stomach.
