Tony felt the weight of the decisions he needed to make but all he could think about was getting back to Lucinda. He wanted to lose himself in her willing body. To feel her hands on him, tokiss her everywhere. To tangle his fingers in her glorious hair. To tell her how much he loved her.
When he finally got back into the safe house, he found Lucinda in her nightgown asleep on the sofa in the parlor, not unlike the very first night he met her. She was just as beautiful as the first time he saw her. He pushed a tendril of hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead. She stirred and her eyes fluttered open. She gave him a sleepy smile and lifted her arms towards him, and he went down on his knees and into her embrace.
“I was worried about you,” she said.
“You do not need to worry about me. I will always return to you.”
“You promise?”
“You are my heart. I love you and will never abandon you.”
“How did you know I needed to hear that?”
He chuckled and kissed her softly. “I think I may have come to know you, at least a little. I hope to know you more for the rest of my life.”
“I would like that.”
“Let me carry you to your room. We will talk about what happened tonight tomorrow.”
“I do not want to go to my bed. I want to go to yours.”
He didn’t need any further encouragement and picked her up and carried her off to his room where he laid her softly on the bed. She sat up, laughing, and crossed her legs to watch him.
Tony shrugged out of his jacket and tugged at his cravat. He sat at the end of the bed and tugged off his boots and stockings. Standing up again he unbuttoned his waistcoat and flung it over his shoulder dramatically which made her giggle and clap her hands. Tugging his shirt out of his pants he pulled it over his head and dropped it to the ground. Her smile was all the encouragement he needed and he unbuttoned the fall of his breeches.
Her eyes followed his hands and grew wide with anticipation. He paused. “Maybe we should just, you know, lie in each other’s arms tonight.”
“Anthony Ashton, you must not tease. I waited for you.”
“You did indeed. My apologies.”
She leaned forward as his hands went to the fall of his breeches again. He let it fall, and she gasped. He was nearly fully erect, but her fascinated expression caused it to harden further. “Oh. It moves.”
“Only when it is very happy.” He stepped out of his pants and crawled onto the bed, naked as the day he was born.
She put up a hand up to stop him. “You said next time I could explore you.”
Had he? “I have no objection to that.” He kissed her lips that parted softly under his own, her hands going straight to his hair to pull him closer. “Where do you want me?”
She scrambled to the other side of the bed to make room for him. “Lie there, please,” she said.
He did as he was instructed and lay on his back, stretching out and putting his hands behind his head.This should be interesting.
She took her time just looking at him, her green eyes bright with excitement. Trailing her fingers through the light sprinkling of blond hair on his chest, she leaned over and placed her hot mouth over his nipple. Her tongue swirled around it until it was hard.
“Do you like that? It is just that I did so much, so I thought you might.”
“I do, very much.” He tangled his fingers into her hair.
Lucinda spent time on his other nipple before kissing her way between his pectoral muscles and tracking the line of hair down his belly to his now very erect cock. “Can I touch it?”
“I would be disappointed if you did not. Just… be gentle.”
She stroked her fingers up and down the length of it, then wrapped her hand around it. He reached down and closed his hand over hers, showing her how he liked it caressed. A slow, gentle rhythm. He groaned, and she stilled, looking up towards him.
“That feels so good.”
“You used your mouth on me. Do I do the same?”
