Page 54 of Sir Hugo Seeks a Wife
She blushed and avoided his eyes.“I was so wound up, I couldn’t help it.”
Her bashfulness charmed him.She was the most arousing woman he’d ever met, yet whenever he glimpsed the young girl she’d once been, poignant emotion squeezed his heart.“I liked it.”
“And you think I’ll like it if you bite me?”
“You’ll like what I’ve got in mind.”
Curiosity gradually overcame her qualms, he was glad to see.“I’ve liked everything you’ve done so far.”
Hugo loved her candor.He wasn’t a man who liked to play games.“I want to kiss your breasts.”At least to start with.
“Will you bite them?”The prospect didn’t seem to trouble her, he was pleased to hear.
“I’ll use my teeth, unless you find it uncomfortable.”
Her sinuous movement against the crumpled sheets made his dick stir.He was surprised that he’d recovered so swiftly.Athene had such power over him.
“Ooh.”
The rising note of intrigue made him chuckle.“Lie back.”
She cooperated with an alacrity that did nothing to dampen his growing interest.But he was determined that this time, he wouldn’t just leap on her.She had the capacity for rapture beyond measure.He wanted to give her that, before seeking release again.
So he rose to shrug on his robe, only to find her frowning at him.One hand stretched along the sheets in a silent plea.“I love to look at your body.”
“The robe helps control my urges,” he said wryly.“The way you stare at me doesn’t help.”
“I want to touch you.”
Her throaty declaration went straight to his balls.“I’ll make a deal with you, lass.Let me do what I want now, and I’ll let you explore to your heart’s content next time.”
“I can’t touch you?”
Her pout was foreign to the buttoned-up woman he’d first met.She’d hidden from him then.She’d hidden from the world.God gave him the chance to bring her out into the open, not just here in the private paradise of this bedroom, but everywhere.“Not unless you want to end up under me again.”
Her expression became more animated.“I’d like that.”
He gritted his teeth against another gust of heat that promised to melt his not terribly robust willpower into a steaming puddle.“So would I.”
“Then?”
“Athene…” he said in helpless surrender, throwing off the robe and diving back into the bed.As their limbs tangled together, she squealed with adorable excitement.He hauled her up until she sat opposite him.“Put your legs around my hips.”
“I’m not sure if…” More uncertainty.More proof that her carnal experience was limited to the basics.
“Trust me.”
She stared into his face, as if she sought to read his soul.Then with his help, she wiggled around to balance on his thighs.His cock rose hard and needy between them.She hooked her hands over his shoulders and crossed her legs behind his arse.
Hunger made him quake.She was so close to where he wanted her.
Hugo caught her waist.She wanted him, too.He could smell her excitement on her skin.He leaned in to kiss her and the contact expanded into a rapacious exploration.When they finally drew apart, he’d buried his hands in the silky tumble of black hair.It was thick and soft, and warm from the contact with her body.
“Oh, my,” she said with such awe that he smiled.
“Oh, my, indeed.”
“I love how you kiss me.It always feels like the most important thing in the world.”
