Make me moan.

Victoria didn’t know how she’d found the gall to say what she’d said, but she didn’t have any time to lament her choice of words, or to feel even a slight hint of embarrassment, because the next moment, William slanted his mouth over hers. He delved deep, robbing her of any rational thought.

Then he broke the kiss and dropped to his knees in front of her.

He clasped her ankle with gentle hands and proceeded to pepper kisses up her shin, traveling up her knee as his fingers caressed her skin. He paused before placing his palms on her knees and slowly spreading them farther apart.

With her skirts bunched at her waist, her most sacred place, the very center of her, was now bared to his gaze.

Victoria squirmed in her seat, feeling uncomfortable, embarrassed, mortified even, until he dipped his head and kissed her inner thigh.

A ticklish feeling traveled up her leg and settled at her center. Her muscles clenched together as warmth seeped out of her. Victoria’s fingers curled into the edge of the table, keeping her upright, her knuckles white from tension.

He pressed another kiss a little higher up her thigh before biting into her flesh.

Victoria cried out, her head thrown back, her chest heaving as if from exertion.

“Hmm…” William rumbled deep in his throat, his warm breath wafting over her skin. “That’s better.”

Then his finger touched the juncture between her legs, and Victoria moaned, her muscles clenching. He tickled her lightly, circling his finger, playing with her damp curls.

“William,” she whispered, unsure what she wanted him to do. Unsure why she even called his name.

All she knew was that there was an unknown hunger in her soul and only he could quench it.

He moved his mouth higher up her thigh and bit into her flesh again, teasing her with his teeth and tongue, while his finger traced the seam of her feminine lips, leaving her breathless.

What was he doing to her?

Oh, Boje, I hope he never stops.

Then one of his hands went to grab her bottom, his fingers tightening on her soft globe, and his mouth, oh, that wicked mouth, settled right in the center of her.

With the fingers of his right hand, he caressed her inner thigh, while his thumb spread her feminine lips, opening her even more for his view, for his mouth, his lips, his tongue.

“William!” she moaned, unable to make any other intelligible sound, her entire being concentrated on the part of her that he devoured. His tongue stroked along her cleft, sending shivers up and down her body, making her squirm and writhe.

Her hands moved to caress his head, her fingers sifting through his hair, bunching it in her grasp, guiding William’s mouth to where she wanted him.

Her juices flowed out of her and traveled down his mouth, his chin… Oh, that chin of his now pressed into her center, filling the void, while his tongue did unconscionable things to a place where a single touch sent fire through her veins.

What am I doing?

It couldn’t have been right, pushing her center closer to his mouth, urging his face to move just so his tongue could caress her most hidden delights. Her hips thrust forward to feel more of him, and it should have felt so wrong, shameful, and full of sin. Yet all she felt was pleasure, delight, bliss. And all she wanted was more of that feeling.

Victoria arched her back, bringing her body closer to William, urging his tongue to press against her hill of pleasure, to slide and circle it as she moved her hips.

“Yes, William, yes!” she cried in encouragement, and he grunted in approval.

Make me moan, she’d said when she had no idea what she was asking. Because what she felt now was beyond what her imagination could conjure.

William continued lapping at her center, collecting her juices with his tongue, spreading the feeling of ecstasy.

Then he hit the spot that sent a lightning bolt through her. Victoria cried out, and William doubled his efforts, licking at her until she sobbed. Incoherent sounds were exiting her throat, her entire body shaking, as her muscles contracted and released all on their own.

Her body was no longer under her control and her mind had succumbed to the darkest of delights. And only one word echoed through her mind and soul.

William.
