“Now, are you going to relax?” she asked as she looked up at him. “And are you going to wait until tomorrow to do anything hasty?” She started to move her wrist up and down his length; slow and purposeful.

“I… I am…” He moaned as his leg trembled.

“Do you promise?” She batted her eyelashes.

“I promise,” he said through a clenched jaw, whimpering as she continued to stroke him.

“Good,” she said softly. “And do not even think about breaking it.”

His member was fully engorged. It throbbed in her hand. Edward’s hand was already on her head, stroking her hair as if begging her to do as she was about to. She offered him a final look of warning. She took pleasure in seeing his pleading look in response. She licked her lips. She shuffled forward. She squeezed him a final time and edged him closer to her wet lips.

“My mouth, you said?” she asked in a whisper.

“All of it,” he commanded it.

She opened wide and took him in her mouth.

Edward moaned deeply as she swallowed his length. She did so in one go, her mouth wide open, feeling his thickness slide down her throat until she could not take anymore. She gagged a little, had to hold her breathe, but pushed down as much as she could.

“Your hand…” He breathed. “Use it as you…” He groaned as she held him in her mouth. “Around my…”

As bidden, her left took the base of his member and started to stroke. For a second more, she held him in her mouth fully, feeling him shake and moan. Then she pulled back….

“God…” he groaned as she released him from her mouth. “You are good at that.”

“Just doing as I am told,” she said with a coy smile.

“Do not stop,” he said to her. “Do not dare.”

Celestine had not planned on pleasuring Edward like that tonight. In fact, she had expected a fight to ensue between them, one that would leave them both irate and have them sleeping in separate rooms.

But when she went to Edward, she saw through his anger and his fury. She saw the man who she had married and realized without having to question it that he was so much more than she daredto consider. Just as this marriage was more than she could have hoped.

Taking him in her mouth as she did, it wasn’t done because she wanted to calm him and stop a fight before it happened. It was done because she wanted to show him how much she was there for him, because she knew he would be there for her always.

She wanted to please him, as he had pleased her so often already.

So, on her knees, she used her mouth on his manhood. She licked his length. She sucked his tip. She stroked his girth. She worked him as she knew he liked, feeling his legs shake, his breathing rise, his soul giving in as he accepted her as more than just his wife.

“God… Celestine…” His hands ran through her hair. “How are you… right there… do not stop…”

She started moving her head up and down. She made sure her tongue licked as she did. It was wet. It was sloppy. And it was exactly what Edward needed.

“Slowly,” he said through gritted teeth. “Wet like… like that. Yes, your lips… God… keep going…”

Celestine had wondered often how she truly felt about Edward. She liked him, of course. She cared for him. And she was undeniably attracted to him. But now, as she pleasured him with her mouth for no other reason than she wanted to make him feelbetter, she accepted that her feelings ran so much deeper than that.

Celestine was falling in love with Edward.

It was not what she expected, but she accepted it nonetheless. What was more, as she sucked and as she licked, as she twisted and as she stroked, she suspected too that he felt the same about her.

Finally, their marriage had become real. Finally, Celestine had what she had always wanted. Not with the man she thought it would be with, but that mattered not. She was in love, and that was what she focused on most of all.

“Celestine!” he cried out as she felt him about to explode. “Do not stop… do not… oh… I… I… I…”

He did not say it, but she suspected he wanted to say that he loved her.As I love him.
