“Ah…yes…” I heard him groan above me.
He suddenly pulled away, and I thought I had done something incorrectly. He lay upon the sheet, grunting as he held on to himself.
“Did I do something wrong?” I asked.
He glanced over at me, eyes wide, his chest rising and falling. “Wrong? No. Sinfully perfect? Yes. Absolutely yes.”
“Is that good or bad?”
“I shall let you decide.” He smiled. He pushed me back down onto the bed, lifting my nightdress and cupping me between my legs. “Look how wet you have gotten. Let me not neglect you, either.”
“Evander!” I gasped as his mouth was upon me instantly. The moment his tongue licked me, I could not make sense of myself any longer.
How had this happened? I was furious with him. There were so many things I’d wanted to talk to him about, wished he would explain, yet now I could barely breathe, let alone have a conversation.
He always did this, took over my mind, all my senses and feelings, leaving me trembling.
“Evander!” I cried out, arching up from the bed, and his response was to lift me toward his mouth more.
I swear, he was the king of all my dreams, the lord of all my passions, the captain of all my desires.
I was helpless against him.
Evander
I did not dream, as she had fulfilled all of them. Maybe that was why I woke early, as she was seeking to leave my arms. I watched as she took the top sheet, wrapping it around herself before quietly trying to rise.
“Escaping me?” I whispered to her back.
Startled, she glanced at me. “Forgive me, did I wake you?”
“The lack of you did,” I replied, touching her skin. “Where are you going?”
“I must get ready and review the gifts before I go.” She was truly dedicated to this task.
“It cannot wait until the sun is fully up?”
“They are working people,” she reminded me, and I wondered what she knew of such things. “When the sun is high, they will not be home.”
I grinned. “What a thoughtful mistress you are.”
“Are you mocking me?” She frowned.
I shook my head. “No, I truly mean it. The tenants do not know how fortunate they are.”
“I desire to fulfill my duties.”
“You have fully triumphed in your marital ones.” I leaned in closer, brushing her hair behind her ear. “I am still enraptured with you from last night—you astonish me.”
“Evander, do not speak on it,” she whispered, hiding her face from me.
“Now you are shy?” I teased, lifting her chin.
She glared at me as if angry, but it was more from embarrassment. “In the moment, it did not feel…”
“What?”
“Unnatural.”
