His gaze narrowed in warning.Then he began punishing her with tickles.He found all of her sensitive places.Under her arms.Along her ribs.Beneath her ears.Behind her knees.
“Do you surrender?”he demanded.
She giggled and gasped and shook her head.
He resumed until she could endure no more.
“Nay!I yield!”she finally cried out.Then she fell back onto the bed in a dramatic surrender, with one arm across her forehead.
He ceased his attack and gazed down at her with amusement.“Are you hurt, my lady?”
“I fear ye have wounded me sorely, sir.”
“Then I must make amends.”His eyes took on a sultry glaze.“Show me where you’re injured.I shall kiss away your hurts.”
His words sent a thrill of excitement through her.She turned her head and pointed to the side of her neck.
“There?”he asked.
She nodded.
He lowered his head and pressed his lips to the place where her pulse raced.
She shivered as her ears hummed in response.Then she turned and bared the other side of her neck.
He kissed that side as well, sending an erotic vibration through her head.
“Here,” she said, indicating her underarm.
With feigned regret, he furrowed his brow.“I fear I must remove your garments for that.”
With feigned regret, she sighed.“If ye must.”
He slipped the leine down her shoulders and off of her arms, lowering the neckline until it hung low on her breasts.Then he nuzzled each nook of her arm to plant a kiss there, though it came dangerously close to tickling.
He paused to look askance at her.“Where else?”
Blushing, she brushed across her ribs with her fingers.
He dragged the leine down slowly.As he grazed her nipples, she felt them tighten with yearning.He bunched the linen at her waist and dipped his head to lavish kisses along her ribs.His soft hair brushed her breasts with tantalizing tenderness.
“Where else?”he asked.
She rolled onto her side and pointed to the back of her knees.
He raised the hem of her leine, revealing her calves.
“Here?”he murmured against her skin.
She moaned in answer.
He placed rows of kisses behind each knee, then rolled her onto her back again.
“Anywhere else?”he whispered.
She bit her lip.
Holding her gaze, he slipped his hand down between her legs to caress her through her skirts.“Here perhaps?”
