“Yes, truly. It will be a nice reminder of you when I’m in the heat of battle.” Nicholas paused, clearly debating something internally. “Tell me, Rose, have you ever done this with another one of your lovers?”
She was somewhat taken aback by the question and had half a mind to ignore him. As she thought it over, however, it made sense. She’d read that aural magic was more potent when used on family or friends close to the user. It couldn’t get much stronger than with a lover.
“I haven’t,” she said sheepishly.
“Good,” Nicholas replied, then leaned back, pulling Rose on top of him and firmly covering her lips with his. His tongue demanded entry to her mouth and explored every corner, claiming her. Rose was left breathless and dizzy after the heady kiss.
But Nicholas gave her no time to relax. He pulled herneckline down and quickly began to leave love marks on her neck and shoulders, working his way lower.
“Nicholas, what are you doing?” she said through gasps.
“I know it’s childish.” His lips made a popping sound as he finished leaving another mark on her. “But, I find myself mad with jealousy at the thought of your other lovers. I need to prove that you’re mine.” He bit down on her neck.
Rose squirmed on top of him. His aggressive marking sent all kinds of pleasant sparks through her entire body.
“Are you using your magic on me?” She gasped. He nipped at her skin, and more sparks of desire set themselves free in her body.
Nicholas chuckled darkly. “I’m not, my love. This is just the magic of our bodies.”
She would have been embarrassed at his flirtatiousness if she hadn’t enjoyed his touch so much. The haze of lust that had already begun to cloud her mind thickened into a fog of carnal craving.
Nicholas’s hands wandered down to the back of her thighs, which were straddling his hips. He pulled her up so that he could access her chest without dipping his head.
“This is a wonderful sight,” he said with a contented hum, then used his teeth to pull down her dress, allowing him full access to her already stiff peaks. He teased her with his breath for just a moment, then licked her nipple a few times before beginning to suck on the rosy bud.
Rose cried out. Bolts of sensation shot from her peaks to her core. She clenched around nothing as she felt herself growingwetter and wetter.
“I love the noises you make when you start to lose control,” Nicholas said with a satisfied smirk.
“I’m not—ah!” He shoved his thigh in between her legs and began to grind. Even through her clothes, the friction caused pleasurable waves that threatened to sweep all Rose’s rationality out to sea. Maybe Nicholas was right. She was losing control.
“We’re outside,” she gasped.
“So? No one is around,” he said after releasing her breast with a lewd smacking sound. He reached one of his hands up under her skirt. His face lit up. “Rose, you’re so wet.”
Her cheeks flushed, but she realized that it was from lust, not embarrassment. Even if it was her first time doing something like this out in the open, she wanted her husband to finish what he’d started here. He’d teased her long enough.
“It’s your fault I’m like this. So, take responsibility,” Rose mumbled as she hiked her skirts up. She began to fumble with the laces on Nicholas’s breeches.
The lustful grin that had overtaken Nicholas’s face grew broader. He sat up, leaned against a tree, and helped Rose pull down his breeches.
Rose grinned when his cock sprang free, then hiked her skirts even higher as she mounted Nicholas and aligned his member with her sheath.
“Are you going to ride me?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.
“I want… to try,” she replied. She rarely took control like this, but Nicholas was so affectionate with her. It sparked something within—brought out a part of herself she hadn’t known was locked away.
“Go on, then. This is something I really want to see.”
He put his hands on her waist, his eyes never leaving the place where they were about to join.
“Swallow me, Rose,” he mumbled darkly.
She brought her hips down quickly, more quickly than she’d meant to. The surprising pleasure of it caused both of them to groan.
Nicholas leaned forward to whisper in her ear. “Good job. Can you move your hips now? I can help if you want.”
Rose only whined a little in reply. It was all she could manage. Her core felt like it was melting around his hot member. She knew an orgasm was coming and that once it hit her, she wouldn’t be able to do much besides hang on to her sanity.
