I press my lips to his, and an instant later he devours my mouth. Gripping his hair, I wrap my legs around his hips. "I need you. Please, William."
Wrapping me in his arms, he rolls so that I'm straddling him. "I am yours for the taking, sweetheart."
Rising to my knees, I impale myself on his thick shaft. I bite my lip to keep from crying out. Surely, screams of rapture would bring members of the household out of doors. Folding onto his chest, I kiss my way up to his mouth and rock him in and out of me. My rapture is so close, my pace quickens. "I need…" I rock faster, harder. "I can't…" I fall out of rhythm.
William grips my hips and sets me at a steady pace. His handsome face awash with adoration, he stares up at me. "Tell me what you need."
"I. Need..." Muddled with ecstasy, my brain can't find the words.
Impossibly, William's cock fills me even more. I'm wild with the need to find completion.
His hips rise as mine fall in perfect harmony.
Stabbing up hard and fast, he holds me in place, finds my pearl with his thumb and sends me over the edge. I kiss him hard to muffle my screams as he pumps twice more, pulls out of me, and empties his seed between us.
His kisses gentle after the frenzied release. Nibbling my upper lip then the bottom, he worships me as no one ever has. "You are everything," he whispers.
Naked in the moonlight, I drape my body over him, legs apart and stretched out. I toy with the hair behind his ear and rest my cheek on his chest. "Do you think we need to move from this spot? I would be perfectly happy to die just like this."
His chuckle bumps me up and down, and already he is hard again. "I could make love to you all night and for all the days of my life, Esme."
"Yes, let's do that." I don't recognize my own satisfied and wanton voice.
Trailing his fingers down my spine to the curve of my bottom, he cups the flesh and pulls me tight against his arousal. "I'm going to teach you to swim first. Then I'm going to taste every lovely part of you until you cry my name a hundred times."
"I like the sound of the second much more than the first," I whine, and grind my hips.
He rolls me to my back in a quick breathtaking move, and hovers above me. His eyes dance with joy and desire in equal measure. "Swim lessons first." With a kiss on my nose, he pops up to his feet. Reaching down to help me up, he's magnificent. Muscled from top to bottom, and his shaft is at full attention.
My mouth is watering. "What on earth do you do with your time that keeps you this fit? I thought landed gentlemen were all soft and squishy."
Wrapping his arms around me, he laughs. "Squishy?"
I'm caught up in the mirth of the moment when I realize he's backed me to the edge of the pond and my feet are submerged.
"I ride, and work in the garden. When I'm able to go to the country, there are a great many chores that need seeing to."
As my knees hit the cold water, I swallow down the rising fear in my chest. "Have you no gardener to tend such things? I've been to your house; it seemed that you had a full staff."
"I like the work and wouldn't wish to get squishy." Taking my hands, he backs into the water until my hips are submerged. Meeting my gaze, he asks, "Okay, love?"
My breathing is choppy. "You'll not let me drown?"
"Never."
Trust doesn't come easily to me. I should run away from this pond and William, but I can't garner the uncertainty I have for most people. Somehow, I know he would never allow any harm to come to me. "What do I do?"
It might be worth drowning to have him grin at me so beautifully. "Keep walking toward me, and when the water is deep, you're going to lay on your back."
The cold water is heavenly compared to the thick warm air, and I push forward until my shoulders are just above the water.
Not sure how to achieve the next step, I wait, breathing as if I'm already submerged.
Swimming close, William wraps his arm around my waist. "Bend your knees and float. Pick your feet up. I have you."
I lift my toes from the soft bottom. William slides his arm behind my knees and lays me back. "Am I doing it?"
"No. I'm still holding you, but I'm going to let go, Esme. Just wave your arms gently through the water and relax." His arms drop away.
