“Being a rake, I suppose you always do it properly.”Good lord, what had possessed her to say that.
His blank stare back at her must be loudly—though inwardly—decrying the same sentiment.
“Never mind—”
But he cut her off with an intense look.“I’d like to think I always do it properly.”The air around her grew thick.Heavy.Something passed between them while they locked eyes.Tension coiled in her stomach.Her shoulders sank down while her elbows locked in at her sides, pushing her breasts out.Her nipples sought…something.
“Prudence…” his husky voice shot straight between her legs.
“What?”
“Do you want release from the tension you feel?”
Oh God.He could read her mind and body.Breathless, she answered, “I don’t know.”
“Only if you want it.I can show you how to find it.”
“I don’t-I can’t kiss you.”
“That’s all right, my little librarian.You can do it yourself.”
“How?”
“Tell me what you feel.”
Her body shivered.One wave over her left leg.Another wave up her right arm.A dull throb at the apex of her thighs.
“There’s an ache.”She couldn’t believe she was saying it, but it felt right to tell him.Safe.
“Where?”
“Between my legs.”
“Show me.With your hands.Slowly.”
Her hands fisted the fabric of her nightrail atop her thighs and then one daring hand slowly swept up to the ache.
“That’s it.That’s your cunny.Rub where you feel the ache.”
Pru’s eyes burned from staring at Soren, but they grew bleary to the point she needed to close them when her fingers grazed over the throbbing between her legs.A quiet gasp sounded between them.
When she looked back at him, his eyes were black, and his tongue licked his bottom lip.She swallowed.Hard.
“That’s it, Pru.Make a small circle around the ache.I promise we’ll make it go away together.”
Her nipples screamed in delight.In yearning.
“Soren,” she pleaded.
And he was in front of her, on his knees.His spicy, familiar scent filled her senses.
“What do you need, Pru?”
“Touch me,” she whispered the daring words.
“I-I can’t.I want to, but I can’t.You can do this for yourself, my little librarian.You’re intelligent.Beautiful.You can know your body for yourself.Do this for you.”
“Uhhh…” she moaned longer as she rubbed another circle.“I need more.”
