Cool air stirred against her naked flesh.Lena lifted her hips and shoulders off the bed, letting him remove it.Will tossed the nightgown aside, never taking his eyes off her.They burned like a blacksmith’s forge, the heat blistering her soul.
Uncertainty beating in her breast, she lowered her hands against her sides.Her breath lifted her breasts, drawing his gaze to them.Her nipples hardened and she let her gaze rove his face, searching for something, anything.
His expression softened.Still fierce in his desire, the odd hint of longing shaped his mouth.“You’re beautiful.”Gently he traced her collarbone, his fingers tickling over her skin.They raked lower, drawing gentle concentric circles around her left breast.“Perfect.”
“Too small,” she whispered.
He leaned against her side, one leg thrown over hers.Capturing her gaze, he slid his rough palm over her breast, cupping it.“Perfect,” he growled and lowered his head.
Lips traced the smooth curve of her flesh.She gasped as teeth found her nipple and bit it gently.The hand on her breast slid lower, skating across her quivering stomach.So much sensation.She could barely contain it, especially when his hand delved between her thighs.
A new world.She felt remarkably gauche, untutored.She knew nothing of this, of pleasure.Theory had nothing on practice.Will’s fingers found her and she threw her head back, gasping, against the sheets.
“Take your hair out,” he whispered, one finger tracing small circles against the wet bud between her thighs.
She could barely move, trapped by the sensation of his hand.“I can’t,” she gasped, her hips quivering.
Movement ceased.He pressed the heel of his palm against her mound.“Take it out.”
Demand filled his voice.Lena lifted her arms over her head and started working on her braid.Her hair tumbled over the sheets in loose waves, thick and dark.Will’s expression grew lazy, heavy-lidded.He lowered his mouth to her nipple and suckled it.“That’s better.”
The coil in her stomach grew.She slid her hands over his shoulders, learning the smooth muscle of his flesh.Then through his hair, fisting in the length of it, unable to string coherent thought or sound together as his lips played with her breast.
A hot tongue swept over her, rasping at her nipple.An inarticulate sound echoed in her throat, harsh and guttural.A wordless plea for more.As if in answer, his fingers danced lightly over her wet flesh, circling the entrance to her body.
“Yes,” Lena gasped, back arching obscenely.“Will!”
“Do you like that?”A hint of curiosity gleamed in his eyes.This was new to him too and yet he moved with a confidence that fooled her.
A finger slid deep into her passage and she clenched around it, eyes rolling back in her head.Soft laughter echoed against her flesh, a rumble of pleased satisfaction.So male.
“Yes?”
Her fingers were clenched in his hair so tight he had to feel it.She tried to relax.And failed.“Yes.”
Another finger stretched her and she felt the burn deep within as her body eased to accommodate him.Shadows filled his eyes—he wanted it to be his own body—and he bit the soft curve of her breast with a snarl as the amber overtook his irises.
Lena lifted her hips to his hand, silently demanding more.The world narrowed, becoming little more than the sound of shifting sheets and soft sighs and the feel of his fingers pumping within her.
Something beckoned, a sensation she knew she wanted to feel.Tossing her head from side to side, she tried to find it, tried to push harder against his hand.Will’s thumb rode over the nub of her flesh and she clenched with a gasp, grabbing at his wrist.
“There,” she whispered desperately.“Right there.”
“Here?”A thumb pressed hard against her.
She cried out, her hips lifting higher.So close.Almost… The edge threatened to collapse beneath her and his thumb rode her again.There—
Lena screamed as sensation rode through her, blinding her to all else.Nothing but the feel of his body remained, his finger driving deep within her.Claiming her as she wished his body could.
Too much.She cried out and caught his hand, clenching her knees tightly together as she rolled onto her side.Gasping, her face pressed into the sheets, she came back to the world slowly.Will curled around her, his face nuzzling the back of her neck and his shaft pressed against her bottom.
She shifted, driving it between her thighs, her own slickness creating a vacuum.Will sucked in a sharp breath, his hands clutching her tight.“Lena.”
Yet his hips pressed against her bottom, the nest of springy hair at the base of his shaft tickling her.His hot flesh rode against her sensitive nub and she gasped again, white lights dancing behind her eyes.
Sinking a fist into her hair, Will dragged her face back, baring her throat.His hips bucked against her again, tearing a new sensation through her.
Teeth sinking into the soft muscle of her trapezium.His fist, a dominating presence in her hair.She couldn’t move, trapped by his body.Will ground himself against her again and again, thrusting hard between her thighs.She clenched her knees, her fingers digging into the sheet.
