Chapter Thirty-Nine
As soon as Zeus began to bark late in the evening, Freddie knew who was about to knock on the kitchen door.The only thing he found slightly odd was that Eve had waited for almost a week after their encounter in the laneway to finally pay him a visit.
He opened the door and pulled her roughly to him, kicking the door closed behind them.“You took your time,” he said, before kissing her hard.
Eve reached out and pulled on the fabric of Freddie’s linen shirt.He came closer and wrapped his arms about her waist.She fitted to him like a glove.“I told you I was setting the rules of the game,” she purred.
He went hard.He prayed she still wanted him.If she did, he would not refuse her.“Can I assume you are not here to sample the pasties?”he replied.
She placed a hand on his chest, over his heart.How he could ever have been such a fool to willingly break her heart he would never understand.She was worth all the riches in the land.
“I am here because I am certain I shall go mad unless you strip me naked and claim me with your body.I need you to take all I have to offer, and then demand more.When you are done with making me yours, I need you to do it again.Only then will I know you are truly mine.”
Eve had practiced her speech all the way over from Dover Street.Standing in front of Freddie, she prayed it was enough.To finally have him claim her as his woman.
“As long as you understand once I have made you mine, there is no going back,” he replied.
She let a long sigh escape her lips.Her blood was heated and pumping hard through her body.Tonight, she would burn all the bridges behind her.There was only one path that lay before her now—a life with him.“Take me.”
“Wait here,” he replied.
Releasing her from his embrace, Freddie opened the door which led to the upper floors and walked out of the kitchen.Zeus followed.
A moment later, he returned without the dog.
“Zeus normally sleeps on the end of my bed.You and I shall stay in the warmth down here.I don’t normally heat my bedroom; firewood is too expensive and we need warmth for what we are about to do.”
He dragged the kitchen table across the floor and placed it in front of the door.Zeus would not be returning tonight.“I told you your first time should be in private.After that we can negotiate new rules to the game.Now come here.”
He held out his hand, and Eve went to him.Nimble fingers quickly had the buttons of her cloak undone.He laid it over a chair.
When he went to untie the ribbons on her gown, she stopped him.It was time for her to take back control.
“Sit,” she said, pointing to the bench next to the table.
Freddie did as instructed.
She licked her lips.She had been rehearsing this moment all afternoon in the privacy of her bedroom.Slowly, she worked at the top of her gown, opening it and revealing her breasts to him.An appreciative sigh escaped his lips.
She kicked off her slippers and slid her stockings from her legs.When she looked up, she was greeted with the vision of Freddie’s hungry gaze.
Perfect.
She approached him.
“Take it off.Strip me,” she commanded him.
Eager hands grabbed hold of her gown and pulled it over her head.“Oh, Eve.”
Her plans had been to lean down at this point and kiss him, but Freddie had other ideas.Standing, he lifted her and spun her around.
She found herself lying naked on her back on the table, Freddie leaning over her.
“I have never stopped thinking about you.I dream of you every night.Heated dreams of what should have happened between us long ago.Of what I am going to do to you tonight.”He pushed her legs apart and set his lips to her heated flesh.When she buckled as his tongue touched her clitoris he pushed a hand down on her hips, holding her in place.
“You will suffer my torture until you scream,” he murmured.
Her eyes opened and she stared up at the ceiling as he slaved at her with his tongue.On and on his tongue worked over her.Every ounce of her strength went into trying to control her response, a whimper the only thing she could manage.She was utterly at his mercy.
