"Nicely done." I reach for him.
Lying beside me, he runs his hand down my chest, toys with my nipple, making me arch, before letting his soft caress continue to my stomach. "I'm still a student, but I'm learning. It seems whatever I want from my magic, I just visualize." He circles my navel with one finger. "If I see your pleasure heightened..."
With one of his hands under his head and the other still tracing circles around my navel, I feel his hand between my legs, the tingle of magic parting my folds and slicking my juices along every sensitive inch. It's hard to get words to form. "This is unfair."
"Shall I stop?" He takes my nipple in his mouth and runs his tongue around and around while his magic does the same between my nether lips.
The orgasm rockets through my body before I can tell him not to stop.
He wraps me in a hug and tells me how beautiful I am. He whispers love words to me over and over again, as if I've done something grand.
Catching my breath, I say, "I think I shall learn some new magic for the bedroom."
"I'm happy to help you practice." He winks and covers me with his warm body.
Chapter
Twenty-Three
WILLIAM
It's late morning before I wake, and the sun is blinding.
Simon is curled at my feet and looks up at me lazily.
Esme lies at my side with her head on my upper arm. If my world could stay just like this, it would be perfect. We made love half the night as if we might not see morning, but the sun rose just the same.
Leaning over, I kiss her forehead.
She and Simon both stretch in a similar manner, making me chuckle.
"What time is it?" Her eyes are still closed as she snuggles into my chest.
"Late, my love. We should get up and go to the coven house." My stomach rumbles loudly. "And perhaps eat something, as you have wrung out the last bit of my reserve energy."
A wide smile spreads across her face. "I'm hungry, too."
As I sit up, she does too, and I face her.
Completely comfortable, she lets the blanket fall to her waist and cocks her head.
I know she hears some of my thoughts, but I have things to say. "Esme, I think the next few hours or days will be quite busy. We shall not know if we will live or die with whatever is to come. I meant what I said. I will marry you immediately if you would have me."
"English law says banns must be read." Her smile is more warming than the sun streaming through the windows.
"What care I for laws when you are here with me? We could be married by coven law." I want her to be mine for all time, more than I want my next gulp of air.
Those bright green eyes sparkle with joy, and her hair falls wildly around her sweet face. "I'm yours already, but if it will make you happy, I'll marry you for all to see."
It's hard to contain my happiness, but there is more to say. "I have some letters to write. If anything should happen to me, you will be cared for, Esme."
"I can take care of myself."
Pulling her in, I kiss her forehead. "Of course, you can. That's not the point. All I have should be yours. We may have to wait weeks to marry by English law, but my finances can still be managed in such a way that should I be killed, you are deemed worthy to inherit. I'm not a lord whose lands are entailed. I will write to my solicitor and speak with my mother. I will also change my will before we leave the house today."
I hate that the spark fades from her eyes. "Do not die, and all will be well. However, should the worst come to pass, I am able to care for myself as I always have."
Simon jumps on the bed and curls into her lap.
