“The opposite, though it was not a matter that I had given much consideration to in the past, simply accepted that a woman must be protected and supported by a man.”
“This woman is quite happy in her independence,” Eliza assured him.
“Though, there are times when a partnership is of benefit to both parties.”
He came even closer and Eliza stepped back, wondering what he was about and only stopped when her back connected with the wall of the cave.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I am going to kiss you, unless you have an objection.”
“It is the middle of the day.”
“You have kissed me in the middle of the day,” he reminded her.
Except, when she had kissed him, no matter how heated, she knew nothing would happen, not like it did last night. And, if he kissed her now, she would want more.
“If you do not want me to kiss you…”
She did not answer but pulled him to her.
Lucian bent and placed his lips against hers though he was also smiling.
Chapter32
Lucian had not intendedto seduce her in the cave, but they were alone and he did admire and desire her. Her response to him was just as heated as it had been at any other time. Smoothing his hands down her back he trailed his lips along her jaw and then neck until he was kissing her chest, just above the bodice.
There were no buttons at the front, nor did he have the patience to unfasten her dress at the back and instead caressed her breasts through the material of her gown. Eliza let her head fall back, her fingers digging into his shoulders where she held on and moaned with pleasure. He could stop there and take her back to the house where they could be alone and in comfort, but Lucian was overcome with need and passion for Eliza.
He lifted his head and kissed her deeply again as his hands skimmed down her waist, then to her hips, then started pulling her skirts up until his hand touched her leg. Eliza gasped as his fingers caressed up her sensitive inner thigh until he brushed her damp curls. Already she wanted him and for that reason, Lucian did not hesitate to bring her pleasure.
Her cries of passion filled his ears as she arched and reached for release as he kept bringing her to the edge, then backing away, only letting her soar after she whispered, “Please.” He reveled in her cry and the moment she relaxed, Lucian quickly freed himself, then placed his hands around the naked globes of her bottom and lifted.
“Put your legs around me.”
As soon as Eliza did so, he thrust, filling her and nearly spilled his seed as her walls closed tightly around him.
With her back against the wall, and his hands holding her tight, Lucian thrust and retreated over and over as her moans once again echoed in his ears. When she tightened and cried out her release, he followed and his knees nearly gave out from the power of his own.
With a shudder, he rested his head against the wall, holding her as he attempted to recover from a release that had been even more powerful than the night before.
His wasn’t the only erratic breathing as he let go of Eliza and let her stand again.
“Goodness!” she remarked as she shook out her skirts.
Lucian could only chuckle as he tucked his manhood away and refastened his trousers.
“I did not…I see that it is possible. I just didn’t realize one could do such while standing.”
“Oh, there are many ways to participate in the act.”
Her eyes widened.
“All equally pleasurable,” he assured her.
Eliza started to grin. “Will you show them all to me?”
“I promise to dedicate myself to showing you all manner of pleasure Eliza.”
