Page 44 of Trapped with the Earl of Sin

“Do you like that?” Martin’s whisper filled her up. “Does it feel good?”

“That feels utterly phenomenal…”

But Susanna could not say more. She did not have a chance because Martin had knocked the air out of her lungs by tracing his tongue along her soaking-wet core.

Susanna gasped. This was all happening so quickly, yet somehow not fast enough. The sensation of his hot breaths along with his tongue caused her to shake uncontrollably. She had imagined what it might be like to really feel him, but this was off the scale. Even her fantasies could not have imaginedthis.

“Oh my, Martin,” she gasped as she tossed her head back in desire.

Her head smacked against the wall behind her, but that did nothing to stop the passion flooding her veins. If anything, the dizziness only intensified how incredible all of this felt. The heat burned upwards, setting her heart on fire.

Every time she shuddered, and her body convulsed, her heart thundered against her ribcage. Her legs had turned to jelly, she was not sure how to keep herself upright any longer.

Unfortunately, the wall gave her nothing to hold on to. She was terrified that she might tumble to the ground and destroy this beautiful moment. That was the last thing that she wanted to do. She could not stand losing all of this.

However wrong it was, she wanted to stay here forever.

Martin plunged his tongue deep inside her, tasting parts of her that she did not know could be tasted by another person. He had become a madman on a mission, and that stole all the air from her lungs. Susanna was certain that he was utterly determined to push her over the edge. She was hopeless, helpless, completely at his mercy, and that was so thrilling that she could not contain herself.

A pressure of pleasure began to build within Susanna as she knotted her fingers in Martin’s hair, tugging every time it felt good. He did not seem to mind her clinging to him, and even if he did, his moans simply vibrated through her, dousing her whole body in intense flames.

His tongue picked up speed. It seemed to be everywhere, all over her body. Susanna could no longer keep track of what he was doing to her, but she simply did not care.

It was all just so wonderful.

Her toes curled as the burning hot bliss danced through her. She felt herself rise upwards a little, but thankfully not out of Martin’s reach. Truly, she never wanted this phenomenal sensation to end. She loved the idea of sitting atop this bliss for the rest of her life, no matter what the rest of the world wanted from her…

And then she fell.

Susanna screamed loudly. She fell hard as the waves of pleasure cascaded through her, hitting her like a powerful tsunami. It zapped all the energy out of her, she could no longer keep herself upright.

It felt like she was sinking deeper under the waters of heaven, and she wanted them to drown her. As Susanna lost herself in this, she knew that however dangerous this was, she wanted to remain here forever.

Even Martin could no longer hold her upright. Susanna slumped downwards, panting desperately against the wall as she tried her hardest to regain any semblance of self-control. The dizziness was so intense that even her vision had blurred. But she could still seehim.

Susanna reached out and cupped Martin’s cheek in her hand, loving the way that he smiled at her. He might have had a sharp tongue when he was teasing her, but he caressed her softly with the same tongue when it mattered.

Eventually, Martin rose to his feet, and he pressed his lips to hers, kissing her softly. There was something so sweet and romantic about the kiss, it made Susanna’s heart thunder with feelings. The rational part of her mind knew that she could notreallyhave feelings for this man because it would only end in disaster, but how could she close her heart off completely after that unexpected, magical experience?

That was far more than just kissing. They had really overstepped the line now. Susanna’s reputation could truly be in ruin, but in the heat of the moment, she did not care. Nothing mattered, other than this man in her arms. The man who she was working with to save the day.

“There is something very special about you, Susanna,” Martin declared smilingly as he brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face. That was a stark reminder that Susanna was going to have to take care of her appearance before she left the stables, or someone might guess what they had been up to. “Very special, indeed. You are unlike any woman I have ever met before.”

Susanna parted her lips, wanting to respond to Martin, but truth be told, she did not know what she was supposed to say. Since she found it difficult to tell if he was joking or not at the best of times, she most certainly could not be sure now. Was he teasing her? Trying to make her react and embarrass herself?

For that reason alone, she ended up saying nothing. But that did not stop Martin from continuing with his little speech.

“In fact, darling Susanna, one might even dare to say that I am falling for you.”

Falling for me?

Susanna was gobsmacked. She could not believe those words had just left Martin’s mouth.

Now she was utterly certain that he had to be teasing her, and that was a terrible feeling. Knowing that he could make such throwaway comments when it came to matters of the heart was horrifying. The heat that Susanna had been drowning in before had just been doused in an iciness she could not stand.

“I… I need to go,” she muttered almost under her breath as she backed away from Martin, desperately needing to put some distance between them now. “I have to… to help with the wedding, and… I am sure Mary is looking for me. I am sure she needs me…”

There was nothing else she could say. She could hardly stand to look at Martin any longer because his words had affected her deeper than she wanted. Thinking about himfalling for herwas a lot. She could hardly bear it. Susanna needed to race inside, she needed to lock herself away in her bedchambers, she needed some time alone to process everything that had just happened before it swallowed her up whole.
