“It’s true,” he murmured, kissing her again. “I promise you.” He touched the tip of her nose with the tip of his.
His lips moved down to her neck and he nuzzled there while she gasped. “I thought you were handsome,” she admitted.
She felt his smile against the soft skin of her neck. “Did you?” He moved his mouth to her ear and licked inside.
She gasped again. “Yes, I wanted to slap you, of course, but I couldn’t deny you were handsome.” She laughed.
His smile widened. Next, he lowered his head to her breast and sucked on the nipple. Then he moved his hand down between her legs. She was still wet. He teased her with his fingers for a few moments before he slipped one inside of her.
“Ewan,” she cried.
“Do you like that?” he whispered huskily in her ear as he moved his finger in and out.
She bit her lip and nodded. “Um. Hum.”
His finger moved inside of her and she felt the tension building in her thighs again. Oh, heavens, would she feel that wonderful feeling once more?
“I’m glad you like it, Thea, because lovemaking is just me putting myself inside of you, just like this.” He pulled his finger out and slid in again.
She couldn’t breathe. “Your finger?” she managed.
“Another part of me,” he replied. He pulled his finger away and sat up.
Thea momentarily felt bereft. She wanted him back, wanting him touching her, kissing her, wanted his finger inside her again. Wanted his mouth on her, licking her and—
He rolled onto his back and began unbuttoning the fall of his breeches.
Thea shot up onto one arm. “Oh!”
He eyed her warily, still unbuttoning. “Oh, what?”
“I’m such a ninny,” she replied, biting her lower lip. “You need to be naked of course.”
His smile made her insides melt. One lock of hair had fallen over his forehead and he looked so roguishly handsome she ached.
“Do you want to help me?” he asked, glancing suggestively down toward his breeches.
Her eyes went round, and a smile spread across her lips. “May I?”
“PLEASE DO.”Ewan’s hands fell to either side of his hips. It was going to kill him to let her finish unbuttoning his breeches, but heneededto feel her soft hand on his cock.
Thea’s fingers looked tiny compared to his large ones as they moved to the fall of his breeches. She pushed the fabric aside and took up where he’d left off. He’d only managed to unbutton the top two buttons. Four more to go.
Her deft fingers moved to the first button on the right. She slowly pushed the button through the fabric. She paused to watch his face.
“Go on,” he encouraged, clenching his jaw against the unholy lust he was struggling to control.
She blushed beautifully and moved her hand to the button on the left. That one she unbuttoned even more slowly. His cock was throbbing. He fisted the sheets, his knuckles turning white. “You’re going to kill me.”
“Does this cause you pain?” she asked, watching his face with renewed interest.
“I ache for you,” he breathed. Her hand was so near his cock, so close.
Smiling at the knowledge of her power, Thea took a deep breath and reached for the next button on the right. She pushed herself down his body until her face was only inches away from his cock. The breath abandoned Ewan’s lungs. He stared up at the ceiling. “Heaven, help me.”
“Help you what?” she replied with a laugh. “There is only one button left.”
“I know and ...” He took a long, deep, shuddering breath.
