For a moment, she was confused, but then he gently nudged her hip and she moved as he asked. The mattress dipped with his weight and his hands came around to cup her breasts. As hetoyed with them, lightly pinching her nipples, he whispered in her ear, “Let me know if it gets too intense, but I want this to be a night to remember, not about pain, but pleasure.”
She nodded her head, her hair falling over her shoulders, but not for long. He gathered the length in his fist, but that wasn’t the first thing that registered in her scattered thoughts. She felt something nudging the entrance to her womanhood and while it was a foreign sensation, it wasn’t uncomfortable. In truth, it was quite… nice.
As he moved his fingers slowly out and back in, her lungs caught.
She supposed it was a bit more than nice.
As he started to tease her feminine walls with his fingers, she was startled when he began to give her playful little nips on her neck, her back, and even her buttocks. But the pressure starting to build inside of her eclipsed all else.
“Come for me again, Alexandra.”
She had always hated her full name, but the way Dominic growled it, she found it was terribly sensual, and his slight command had her body urging to return to the precipice.
As his other hand grasped her hip, his fingers dug into her flesh and the combination of sensations coursing through her body was almost too much to bear. She was dizzy, her eyes glazed and unfocused, and her hips started to slam back into the friction he was creating inside of her. With a cry, she splintered apart, her body soaring to heights she’d never dreamed.
He toyed with her breasts and made the sensation last even longer, until she was so relaxed that she wasn’t sure she could endure anything more.
She was hardly aware of him removing his fingers and urging her onto her back once more. She wondered if this was what it felt like to take laudanum. Her eyelids were heavy and her limbs felt leaden and so lax that she wasn’t sure she could stand if she had to do so.
Her lids fluttered, and she saw Dominic above her. She reached up to his face as there was another intrusion below. She gave a slight gasp as she was penetrated, but the discomfort quickly passed and he bent down and kissed her. Her head swam as he thrust into her over and over until finally, he gave a hoarse shout. The muscles of his neck tightened, as well as those of his arms, and she had to admire his strong chest with its light dusting of dark hair that trickled down past his navel and below to where they were joined.
She was amazed at such an intimate act, never dreaming that she would ever allow herself to be with anyone in this manner. It was a breach of everything she’d held dear—her privacy, her independence.
And yet…
As she watched Dominic take his pleasure and spill himself inside of her, then collapsing on top of her with heavy breaths, she thought it was the most magical thing she could have ever shared with someone. With him.
He lifted himself up on an elbow and looked down at her in concern. “Are you all right?”
She smiled. “I’m perfect.” And she realized she spoke the honest truth.
Dominic had meantto be gentler with her, but the sight of her luscious derriere and her dripping wet core had him losing his sanity more quickly than he’d anticipated.
Dear God, had any of his previous lovers showed the enthusiasm that she had shown him tonight? Or perhaps it was that none of the other women he’d bedded before could come close to comparing to Lexie. He was fascinated by every soft sound that she made, the nails that dug into his scalp, and the sweet release that had nearly caused him to ejaculate in his trousers.
He’d removed them in record time, unable to stop himself from taking her completely. The tip of his cock had instantly tingled and he had to grit his teeth to last as long as he had. And when he had finally allowed the release, it was the most powerful one he’d ever had before. He’d seen spots dance in his vision, his body threatening to pass out from the sheer intensity of it.
He was still vibrating in the aftermath, his cock fully satiated.
Rolling over to his side, he brought her with him until they were facing each other. Grabbing the coverlet at the foot of the bed, he brought it over them, knowing that now that their passions had cooled, so would their bodies.
Lifting his hand, he set the back of his knuckles against her jaw. “I didn’t hurt you?”
The smile had yet to leave her face, and his male pride wanted to applaud. “Not at all.”
“Good.” He released a breath and gathered her close in his arms.
They clung to each other for a time and then, as much as he hated to drag reality back into this moment, wanting to hold on to it for as long as he could, he realized that they were still facing a very real threat.
“I know this might not be the ideal time to discuss this, but I need to know how you got back to London.”
Some of the happiness fled from her expression and he had never hated himself more for being the cause of it. “You are right. We should talk.” She sat up and brought the coverlet up with her. He should have known that she might be feeling a little self-conscious about her nudity.
He got up and retrieved her chemise and handed it to her.
“Thank you.”
Slipping his trousers back on, Dominic decided this was for the best. He might be satisfied now, but he had no doubt that it wouldn’t take long for his cock to stir with interest once more at being this close to such a delectable woman as Lexie.
