Gently I pushed him back. I hated to end our kiss, but I knew that we'd be more comfortable with access to a bed.
"We should go upstairs." I was rather conscious of the dozens of eyes that could see us even in the dark.
"If you're sure."
"More than sure," I promised him. "Come on."
I led him through the back of the sanctuary and up the stairs to my bedroom. It wasn't much in terms of space, but it was enough for me.
I stepped inside and turned to face him, my nerves having fled completely. He'd always had a way that put me at ease. I wasn't sure what it was about him, but I liked it. I always had.
Slowly, I unclipped my belt and let it fall to the floor, not taking my eyes off him. I slipped my dress down my shoulders and slowly shimmied out of it, enjoying the way he looked at me with unadulterated lust in his gaze.
I stepped out of my dress and slowly removed my underwear. Ptah's eyes darkened as he watched me reveal my naked body.
"Your turn," I instructed as I made my way over to the bed and leaned back so I could watch.
He didn't need telling twice, and made quick work of his clothes, throwing them to the floor with mine. The years hadn't done anything to diminish his body, one of the many perks of being immortal.
"Like what you see?" he asked.
"Very much."
"Good." His knowing grin made my toes curl with the promise it held.
He came to join me on the bed and gently moved my left leg. He leaned down and kissed the inside of my ankle.
I bit my lip, the anticipation of what he was going to do next filling me. His gaze met mine as he proceeded to press a trail of kisses up the insides of my legs, each one a little higher than the last, but not high enough.
I squirmed a little as he drew his tongue over the soft skin of my thigh. But he held me steady.
The moment he reached my core, I realised just how quickly he was going to push me over the edge.
It shouldn't surprise me. Sex had never been our problem.
His tongue grazed across my core, causing me to let out a small moan. Ptah took it as the encouragement he needed and hooked one of his arms around my leg, opening me up to him more.
I leaned my head back against the pillows and tried to stop the release that was threatening to burst from me. I wanted a chance to enjoy this for longer before I let it.
His tongue flicked back and forth, pressing against my most sensitive spot. I cried out and bucked against him.
Ptah chuckled, the sound vibrating through me and only sending me spiralling closer to oblivion. Slowly, he pushed two fingers inside me.
I arched my back, unable to take the insurmountable pleasure he was bringing me. There was no chance of me lasting any longer. Not when he curled his fingers upwards and hit the spot inside me that he knew would send me over the edge.
None of this was luck. He remembered exactly what I liked, and he was making sure I knew it.
My release powered through me, sending tingles to every part of my body. I let out a loud moan and my body began to shake, but he didn't lapse even for a second, his actions sending me higher and higher. Just when I thought it would be over, another wave of pleasure crashed through me.
The whole world ceased to exist. Darkness reigned, but it was the comfortable kind that I couldn't get enough of, nor did I want to.
I came back down to Earth with laboured breathing and the desire for more. Ptah lay next to me on the bed, having moved at some point during my unawareness.
"You're even more beautiful than I remembered," he said.
A lazy smile spread over my face. "Let's hope the same is true of you," I said.
After taking a moment to compose myself, I reached out and pushed him so he was lying back on the bed. I took in every inch of his form, admiring everything from the toned muscles of his limbs to the hardness waiting for me between his legs.
