We broke apart. “Bedroom,” she panted. “Right now.” And then, because she was an aristocrat, she added a breathy little, “Please.”
It was a wonder we didn’t end up at the bottom of the steps with broken necks since all my blood was in my cock, and I didn’t have a drop to spare for walking, but somehow, I managed to carry her into the bedroom, getting us both there intact by some godsdamned miracle.
Her hands were wild, yanking my shirt up, nails scratching skin in her haste to explore.
She was a fucking vision. Hair still curled from last night framing her face, cheeks flushed, lips wet and swollen. I planned to devour her whole.
“Are you sure about this?” my mouth asked, while my cock told it to shut the fuck up. My hands skimmed down the curve of her back, cupped her deliciously full ass, and pulled her tight against me. “We don’t have to rush into anything.”
That’s what I said out loud when all I wanted to do was stake my claim. Make her mine. Brand myself so deep into her psyche, she’d never get me out.
“Yes. This is what I want.” Then she paused, staring up at me, pupils blown. “Wait… is this… what you want?” With her eyes full of doubt, my wife’s fangs sank into her lower lip, and I was fucking done for.
“I couldn’t stop right now if you drove one of those daggers of yours through my heart,” I rasped. “This is all I want, tesoro.Youare all I want.” I dipped my head for another kiss, sucking that plump bottom lip into my mouth, rimming it with my tongue as I walked her backward toward the beds, tugging her shirt up over her head. Fuck, shedidn’t have on a bra, and her nipples were hard as diamonds, begging for me to put my mouth on them.
For a second, I just took her in, heart drumming against my ribs. Perfect, sweat-damp skin, full, gorgeous breasts, a flat stomach, and those tits… I dipped my head and pulled one into my mouth and rolled my tongue around the hard tip, savoring her gasp, her body rocking against me with every flick of my tongue.
“That’s it, so fucking responsive. I’m going to lick and suck every piece of you,il mio tesoro per l’eternità,” I purred against the pulse racing feverishly in her throat. “I’m going to get you dripping wet, then… then you’re going to take my cock so beautifully, aren’t you? I’m going to fuck you so hard, and you’ll scream my name as you take every inch.”
Saints, I was half gone with lust, my cock hard enough it hurt, precum leaking from the tip. I had to figure out a way to make this last, not finish in under a minute like some fucking coglione.
But Ember’s body tensed, her fingers dug deep into my shoulders, and my instincts prickled in warning. Had me taking a breath, a fucking step back as I reined in my monster, shaking my head to get my bearings. I kept my hand on her lower back, though. No way I was letting her go now.
“Tesoro… youdowant this, right?” I bent my knees to peer into those eyes. “Because I’m getting mixed signals here.”
“I do.” She bit her lip again, and my cock jerked in response, as if she already had me trained. “I do, it’s just… gods…” She looked away. “I’ve never done this before.”
Never one to be timid, Emberline tipped up her trembling chin and met my shocked stare straight on.
“I’m a virgin. I’ve only ever kissed one male before…” she sighed, “and that’s you. I’d say you’re pretty good, but I have nothing to compare it to.”
Motherfucker. My head emptied out.I was her first. Her fucking first.
I was going to beg for this female. Grovel on my knees.
Offer her my beating heart as a tithe.
“Fuck.” I stood there, incapable of thought. Or apparently, speech.
The night of the wedding, I’d seen Emberline’s obvious hesitation.
But a virgin… I blew out a shaky breath.In retrospect, I should have expected this, now that I was piecing everything together, but for someone who fought dirtier than a pit fighter and worked the Dynasty heirs like a bunch of backwoods peasants, it never occurred to me she was inexperienced at anything.
“You took me by surprise, I mean, we were in the training room, then here, and…” She covered her breasts with her hand, color flooding her cheeks. “Everything is moving so fast.”
Okay. No sex. I could handle that.
I took a breath. I could still make her feel good, ease her into this without acting like a fucking barbarian. Gods knew my mouth was watering for her after just a taste of her skin.
“Thank you for being honest with me,tesoro.” I smoothed her hair back out of her face, then slid two fingers under her chin to make her look at me. “I… I wasn’t thinking straight. If I had been, I would have handled everything differently. Let’s… talk about this.”
Her body relaxed slightly, the curve of her cheek fitting perfectly into the palm of my hand.
“We can get dressed and go about our day. You can head back to the training room and continue using me to vent your frustrations, or…” I paused, tilted my head, searching her face. Usually, I was excellent at ferreting out someone’s thoughts, but when it came to my own wife, none of my usual tricks worked.
“Or what?” Her eyes slid toward the bed, then back to me.
“Or I have a better way of getting rid of your frustrations.” Once my thumb started rubbing circles against her skin, I couldn’t stop. “You might even take a nap after. I know you didn’t sleep last night.”
