Page 27 of An Honorable Arrangement
Taking her hand, he kissed the palm. His tongue traced a circle and the intimacy sent a shock to the apex of her thighs. Even more sensitive was the inside of her wrist. She wouldn't have believed such simple touches could be so wondrous in their effect, but her knees grew weak with each kiss up her arm. When he reached the inside of her elbow, she could no longer keep her feet.
Montgomery's arm came around her waist and kept her from wobbling. He pressed his lips to her neck and trailed kisses up to her ear where he nibbled the lobe.
A low moan that hardly sounded like her own pushed from deep inside. "I had no idea."
"Good." He chuckled then captured her lips with his own.
Body on fire, she wanted to tell him things, but her mind couldn't grasp sentences, and she wouldn't know how to express so much desire in words.
She opened her mouth and touched her tongue to his. It wasn't possible to get close enough to him, and she gripped his back trying to satisfy the growing need.
Lifting her from the ground, he growled when she wrapped her legs around his hips and pressed his hard shaft with her center.
"You are so beautiful, Sarah." He lowered her to the mattress and covered her body with his. Kissing his way down, he took her nipple into his mouth, wetting the material of her chemise.
She arched, needing more, wanting more.
When he released the sensitive bud, he blew on the wet garment, heightening her pleasure.
"Montgomery?"
He kissed each rib. "Yes, my love?"
"I don't know… I don't know…how to ask for what I need." Frustration battled with her pleasure.
"That's all right. Relax and only tell me when something displeases you for now." He pulled her rail high on her hip and kissed the crease between her pelvis and thigh and then lower. His shoulders pressed her wider, then his mouth captured her center, and she grabbed a pillow to mute her cry of delight.
Nothing could ever have been more wicked, and she never wanted it to stop. She felt something more rising inside her, and her hips lifted, searching for whatever it was. "Please."
Tongue and lips and the tickle of his soft hair on her inner thighs were Sarah's entire world. She threaded her fingers through his hair and the desire grew unbearable.
Heels digging into his back while he devoured her most private spot, she again pressed the pillow to her mouth to mute her cries.
His finger pressed inside her and her world erupted in pure pleasure.
In an instant, Montgomery was beside her pulling her into his arms and holding her. He whispered something, but the words didn't penetrate her muddled mind while her body shook with the release. Still, his soft voice was a perfect balm.
Her breathing slowed and she said, "I had no idea."
With his lips pressed to her forehead, he said, "Are you all right?"
Pushed back so she could look him in the eye, she rose on her elbow. "That was wonderful."
He kissed the tip of her nose. "I'm very glad to hear that."
Warmth climbed up her cheeks. "Can I give you the same kind of pleasure?"
Still in his breeches and blouse, though both hung open, he drew a deep breath. "You can, my love, but you needn't. I am satisfied that I have brought some idea of what lovemaking should be to you."
He was protecting her, but what she wanted was to share this moment with him, not take something from him. Boldly, she slid her hand beneath the fold of his breeches and wrapped her hand around his smooth, hard shaft. "But without your pleasure, mine is only half." Not sure what to do, she trailed light fingers along the ridge to the tip and down again.
If his deep hum was an indication, her touch wasn’t unpleasant. On her third pet, he gripped her wrist firmly. "You will have to stop, Sarah."
"Have I done something wrong?" She pulled her hand away and clutched it to her chest.
He retrieved it and kissed each knuckle before drawing her index finger into his mouth.
Immediately, her body wanted more of him.
