Page 54 of One Bed for the Bluestocking
A thrum of pleasure went through him as she threw a leg over him and settled, straddling his lap.She immediately brought a finger to his lips.“Quiet!”
“Sorry,” he repeated, reaching for her waist.
She swatted at his hands.“And no touching me.Remember?”
“R-right,” he said, his voice shaking.He placed his hands behind them, leaning back and clasping fistfuls of the quilt.“I can behave.”
The corner of Kate’s mouth twitched.She very much doubted it, at least, if she had anything to do with it.
Leaning in to kiss him, she proceeded to caress every inch of his beautiful, sculpted torso, but never let her hands stray below his waist.
He made sounds of pleasure—softly enough that she chose not to admonish him again.But although he appeared to be enjoying her ministrations, they were clearly not enough, because he kept scooting forward in a poorly disguised attempt to rub against her with his cock.
Kate eluded his first few attempts but eventually took pity on him and chose not to block him from brushing against the soft skin of her inner thigh.With a groan, he began rubbing himself against her, quickly settling into a back-and-forth motion that caused the bedframe to start a telltale rhythmic creaking.
She lifted her lips from his.“Nathaniel,” she admonished.
His eyes blinked open.They were hazy with pleasure.“What is it?”
She twined her fingers in his hair.“Would you listen to what you’re doing?”
Only then did he seem to notice the rhythmic bouncing of his own hips.“I…” He bit off a curse.
She shook her head as if disappointed in him.“I do hope Mr.Buchanan next door is as deaf as he appears.Because that particular sound is rather telling, don’t you agree?”
“You’re driving me mad,” he gasped.
“Me?”she asked, all innocence.
He pinched her bottom, and she had to bite down a squeal.
“And you’re doing it on purpose,” he continued.
She twined her arms around his neck.She felt just a little bit wicked as she smiled at him.“Maybe.But the fact remains that we will need to try something else if we are to escape detection.”
Without warning, she hopped off his lap.She was halfway across the room before he managed to protest.“Kate!”
“Shh!”She retrieved one of the ladderback chairs from the circular table in the corner and brought it to the center of the room, then gestured for him to sit.“Let’s see if this will be more to your… satisfaction.”
He shot her a petulant look but rose from the bed and dutifully seated himself in the chair.“I don’t see how this will be any better than the bed.I’m not even sure what you’re going to…Merciful heavens, Kate!”
She had sunk to her knees in one smooth motion, seized his cock in both hands, and taken it into her mouth.She glanced up at him, the corners of her eyes crinkling with silent laughter.
He glanced down at her.“You’re going to be… the death of me,” he panted.But based on the look of pure, unadulterated bliss on his face, she didn’t really believe he was cross with her.
She pressed forward, taking him as deep as she could, continuing to stroke him with both of her hands.He moaned.She wasn’t so cruel as to stop what she was doing, but she gave him a very stern look from her position on the floor.Thenceforth, he managed to limit himself to a mixture of gasps, hissed curses, and desperate whimpering.
It wasn’t long at all before his thighs turned to iron.“Kate,” he breathed, a note of urgency in his voice.“Kate, I’m about to… You’re going to make me…God,that feels good, and… Kate.Kate.Kate!”
A rush of warm, thick liquid entered Kate’s mouth, but that was all right.She had been expecting it.She quickly swallowed it down, then continued sliding her mouth and hands up and down his length, focusing on his pleasure.
Soon, he stiffened, and gentle hands threaded into her hair, easing her off.She was preparing to give him a smug smile when his large hands seized her beneath her armpits.Nathaniel lifted her effortlessly from the floor, stood, and placed her on the chair.
She looked up at him, cautious.“Nathaniel?”
Hewas the one sporting the smug smile.“Turnabout is fair play.”
Her breath hitched as he sank to the floor, pressing her thighs open as he went.She was completely nude, and although she had spent the past twelve days tangled up with this man in every conceivable configuration, she felt curiously exposed.It had been dark in the shieling, as they’d had to rely on rushlights.Now, in the light of the tallow candles illuminating the room, Kate was exquisitely conscious that Nathaniel could see her most intimate parts in a way he could not before.
