“While alone,” she clarified.
“While here.” I cupped her cheek. “You can call me Cedric anywhere you want on these grounds, even in front of Khalid.” As he’d made it very clear this evening that he didn’t mind dropping any and all formalities. “If there is someone visiting, we can review the title again. But for right now, I want to be Lily and Cedric.”
Which wasn’t even remotely fair, given what would happen in a few weeks.
But life wasn’t fair.
Sometimes one just had to live in the present and take advantage of the moment.
Such as now.
“Are you hungry?” I asked her softly.
She considered and shook her head. “I’m more thirsty than hungry.”
I nodded and used my free hand to pull up a screen from my wrist. Her gaze widened at the display of technology as I typed out a quick note to the palace staff.
“We’ll do a snack and drinks out here,” I said, noting the nearby tables and lounge chairs. “It’s such a waste to have these amenities and not use them.” I glanced at the pool. “And I believe I promised you a swimming lesson.”
Her lips parted. “N-now?”
With a reaction like that? “Yes. Strip.”
A sweet little flush started at her neck and moved upward into her cheeks. My darling little flower enjoyed my demanding side, which was good, as I had no intention of changing for her or anyone else.
Her sweet tongue snuck out to dampen her lips, then she pulled the shirt up and over her head, exposing her gorgeous tits. They were pale beneath the moon, making her resemble a goddess of the night.
An image that only strengthened by removing her shoes and pants, leaving her gloriously naked before me.
“Stunning,” I whispered. It didn’t matter that I was exquisitely familiar with her body; every time I saw it felt like the first time. “Now undress me.”
Lily stepped forward, her hands going to my belt first. I observed her as she worked, enjoying the way her blush seemed to spread across her skin as she unfastened my pants.
I helped her with my shoes, lifting my foot slightly as she knelt to slip them off with my socks. Then she remained there to pull down my trousers.
She stood, taking them over to a chair and folding them neatly before returning for my shirt, which she added to the pile. My shoes went under the chair, where she added her own as well. Then she fetched her garments to pile them beside mine.
It was meticulous and beautifully done.
And ended with her going to her knees before me, her head bowed.
“We’re not having our oral lesson yet, sweet Lily,” I said, even though I was hard for her and very ready to feel those velvety lips around my cock. “I want to swim first.”
I held out my hand for her, my desire clear.
She gave me her palm and allowed me to pull her up from the ground.
This would be a good exercise in trust.
I led her to the stairs near the center of the pool and started downward with her at my side.
Her grip tightened as we reached the bottom, the water already reaching her neck.
“This is the shallowest area,” I warned her. “But the waterfall in the middle has a ledge. We’re going to swim to that.”
Well, I would swim.
And I’d be taking her with me.
