Page 73 of A Spinster for the Cold Duke

“You little vixen,” he growled against her lips, his voice rough with desire. “You’ve wanted me all along.” His mouth found her jaw, then slid lower. His teeth scraped down the delicate column of her neck and over the tops of her breasts as she gasped. “Look how wet and ready you are for me.”

Annabelle’s eyes flew wide. Her hips moved of their own accord as she ground her slick folds against his fingers in search of relief.

“Henry… please…” she whispered, though she wasn’t sure what she was pleading for—only that the ache was unbearable.

“God, you beg so deliciously,” he muttered, dragging her gown down to bare her breasts. His mouth descended in reverence and hunger, lavishing her with wet kisses. “But I cannot wait either.”

His hands moved fast, unfastening the fall of his trousers with practiced urgency. The sound of the buttons popping free sent a fresh rush of heat through her.

“I’m going to take you here,” he growled, his voice rough against her skin as he freed himself, the hard, heated length of him pressing to her thigh. His breath fanned hot against her ear as he added, low and deliberate, “I’ll have you so undone you’ll beg me to never stop.”

Annabelle could only nod. She was too fevered to speak, so the movement was overly eager, earning a low, wicked chuckle from him.

That was her only warning before she felt the hot, insistent press of his member against her slick entrance. Her legs trembled, and she clutched at his shoulders for balance.

“H—Henry.” Her voice cracked as a gasp escaped her.

“Yes,” he hissed, guiding himself into her, inch by gloriously thick inch, until she could scarcely breathe. “Look how red you are in the face for me,” he murmured against her jaw. “But you can take it, can’t you, darling?”

“Oh…” The word left her on a broken moan, “yes. Please…”

She could barely think—could barelybe. There was only the heat of him, the stretch, the way he filled her so completely she felt she might break apart.

He bit out a curse. The word was a harsh groan against her skin as he pushed the final inch of his member into her, claiming her utterly.

“Henry,” she gasped. Her inner walls clenched and unclenched around his length. She was utterly unable to control herself.

“You feel so warm,” he moaned, leaning down to capture her lips in a slow kiss even as he slowly started to thrust inside her. His hips pumped expertly, inside and out, inside and out, so slowly she finally thought she would go mad.

“You feel so perfect around me, Annabelle,” He grunted against her throat, “I want to feel you come around me.”

His manhood rubbed against that spot inside her that felt so good she was well on her way to paradise already.

“Yes!” She moaned aloud, her own hips moving along with his rhythm, “Right there?—!”

He swallowed the rest of her moans with a hard kiss, his arms tightening around her waist as he continued thrusting into her, making her head swim with the overwhelming pleasure.

And yet, even amidst that, she could feel the tenderness in the way his lips dusted her skin, in the way his arms held her up and close.

“I could do this forever,” he groaned into her ear. “I could make love to you like this forever?—”

Those words were her undoing, and her inner walls clamped down around him as her orgasm razed through her, wrecking her body as it went.

“Henry!” She screamed into his kiss. Her legs trembled so badly she knew she would lose all feeling in them afterwards.

“Yes, Annabelle!” He grunted, and his hips jerked once, twice, a third time before he pulled out of her so that his hot seed splattered across her stomach.

It was many moments later when they were able to come down from the high.

Henry looked down at her, gathering her in his arms. “Annabelle. My Annabelle.”

Annabelle didn’t know when he started to call her his, but she couldn’t deny that she liked it. Oh, she liked it very much.

“Henry.”

He leaned down and captured her mouth in a kiss that told her that this, what they’d just done, was something they weren’t going to be able to take back.

And she didn’t even want to take it back.
