I suppose I shouldn’t call it indecent.
Whatever he should call it, Rhys couldn’t take his eyes off his wife. His mouth went dry, and his cock sprung in attention. Damn. He wouldn’t be able to last long again.
Isabel walked toward him, her hips swaying from side to side, her legs bared with her every step. Finally, she stopped just a few inches away from him and looked into his eyes.
Rhys slowly reached out and swept her hair behind her back. Isabel swallowed, a ripple in her throat drawing his attention before his gaze slid lower and stopped at the peaks of her full, round breasts.
“I wanted to speak to you,” she said, her voice breathy.
The conversation was the last thing on Rhys’s mind. He raised his eyes to her face, and Isabel licked her lips. Rhys’s restless eyes fell to her mouth.
Such a plump, beautiful mouth. He’d rather suckle on her lips than have this conversation, but he resisted. If she needed to say something, he would listen. Although perhaps she shouldn’t have dressed so provocatively if she wanted him to pay attention.
“Yes?” he croaked.
“About last night.”
“What about it?” Rhys’s eyes could not help but roam her body.
She chewed on her bottom lip nervously. “Do you plan on doing that every night?”
Rhys’s gaze snapped back to her face. “Do you… Do you not want me to?”
Isabel grimaced, and his heart sank.
What was going on? Had she worn the most seductive gown she could find to tell him she didn’t want him to share her bed anymore?
“Of course not!” she exclaimed and stalked away from him, her bottom swaying with each step. “I’d rather you stayed here.”
Rhys blinked.Did I miss something?“Apologies, darling, can you clarify? What do you want menotto do?”
“You left me last night after… after… Well, you know.”
“After we shared a brief but passionate interlude. Yes.”
“And I had to sleep alone… And I did not like that.”
Rhys’s lips twitched in a smile.Thank God!“Darling,” he said as he stalked toward her. “You said you were tired. I did not want to bother you.”
“Oh.” Isabel blinked. Had she thought he actually wanted to sleep away from her? “I don’t mind you being here at all, even if I’m tired.”
Rhys hid a smile. “As you wish, my lady. Anything else?”
“Yes.” She sat on the bed and looked at her hands, folded demurely on her lap.
“I am waiting in trepidation for your next request, my lady,” he said, his voice low.
“I was thinking that maybe, perhaps, if you would oblige me in—”
He took a large step and appeared right before her. Isabel raised her shining, blue eyes.
“I was hoping the next time we shared a bed you would… you would spend a little more time just kissing me.”
Rhys blinked. He had not anticipated this request either. He crouched before her and took her hands in his. “I am so glad you feel comfortable enough to tell me of your wants and needs. I want you to continue doing that.”
A shy smile appeared on her lips. “Then I want you to kiss me. And I don’t want you to stop.”
Rhys dipped his head. “I am happy to oblige,” he said against her lips and kissed her deeply.
