Edward
He heaved a sigh. Edward doubted that the letter would have the desired effect, but he still had to try. Norman needed to see that his destructive behaviour was hurting more than just himself.
There was a knock on the door, and it was slowly pushed open. Laura was carrying the tea tray. Her face looked bashful, as though bringing Edward tea at that moment wasn’t her wish. Although Edward was delighted to see her, he still couldn’t blame her. He found it equally difficult to face the consequences of what happened the night before. It opened a whole new door of opportunity, and simultaneously, slammed shut the possibility that they could ever turn back.
“Come in.” Edward’s eyes were wide with wonder.
“Harrison said that you requested more tea after breakfast.”
“Yes, I have some particularly heady matters to attend to this afternoon.”
“I hope that it goes smoothly, Your Grace.” After entering the study, Laura cast her eyes down towards the ground.
Edward heaved a sigh. He wanted her to look up. “I must apologize yet again. What happened last night was my fault.”
Laura shook her head. “Not in the slightest. I was the one that came here late at night. I wasn’t dressed appropriately. I wasn’t thinking.”
“I leaned in to kiss you. It was my own volition. I didn’t even care to ask if that was what you wanted. I took what I desired, and that is the reason that I’m apologizing.”
Laura finally looked up. Her eyes were vulnerable and misty. “We don’t need to speak of it again. What’s done is done.”
“Yes, I suppose so.” Edward looked down at his desk. Was it really done? Edward didn’t wish it to be so. He wanted to experience it over and over again.
“May I pour you some tea?”
“That would be fine, thank you.”
Edward willed himself not to watch Laura’s every move as she poured the tea, but he couldn’t help it. She was transfixing. Something about her dainty wrists was particularly appealing. Edward watched in awe, then smiled to himself when Laura brought the cup and saucer to him, taking small steps so that she wouldn’t spill a drop. She placed it before him, and Edward smelt the delightful aroma. He could also smell her hair.
Just then, as though he’d lost his senses once more, Edward grabbed Laura’s wrist as she tried to pull away. She looked down at him, and Edward could see that longing in her eyes that he beheld the night before. Laura’s lips parted, and Edward knew exactly what she wanted. It was the very same thing that he wanted. Edward pushed back his chair and pulled Laura onto his lap. She grasped the sides of his face, and Edward felt a stir in his trousers with Laura’s bottom on top of him.
For a few intense moments, they merely gazed at one another. Laura’s hands on the sides of his face, and Edward gripping her waist. His large hands encircled her dainty waist in a way that made it seem like her body was meant for him.
Laura searched his eyes and cocked her head to one side. Feeling an unbearable heat throughout his whole body, Edward couldn’t help pulling her in closer to him, tasting her lips once more. She moaned, causing his hardness to intensify. Edward grasped her waist tighter, wishing that he could move her up and down upon his lap.
A few more moments of this, and Edward might lose control. He had everything that he wanted in his arms, and his entire body was on fire. There was so much that he wanted to do with Laura. Things that he used to do and then forbid himself to do again. Edward tilted her chin up so that he could kiss her soft neck. As he did so, Laura moaned once more, and Edward was convinced that he was close to ecstasy. Her neck smelt like flowers and was cool to the touch. He heated it with his lips and could practically taste her enjoyment.
Finally, Laura protested, “Your Grace.”
“Edward,” he said into her neck, devouring every inch of it.
“Edward.” Her voice was breathless.
Laura finally pushed Edward’s face away and ran her hands through his hair. Then she was the one that leaned in for the next kiss. This one was the most passionate yet. Deep, hungry, without bounds. As Edward tasted her fully, he thought that taste might become an addiction for him that he could never give up. Edward had reached the edge of reason. He brought his hand under Laura’s skirt and parted her legs so that she was straddling him in his seat.
Edward didn’t dare use his hands to explore under Laura’s skirt. Not yet. He didn’t wish to frighten her, merely to feel and taste her on top of him, fully clothed. Now his manhood was right between Laura’s legs, and he was confident that she could feel him. Her hips ever so slightly rolled along his, and he wished to tell her to keep doing that. Do it more intensely. But he didn’t have the words.
Once more, they kissed, this time with Laura fully facing him. Instead of grabbing her waist, Edward clutched her bottom. He enjoyed its ripe fullness immensely. Laura moaned again, and so did Edward, imagining how much farther they could go in that very instant. There was so much more to explore. Laura and Edward had merely started. There was no limit to what they could experience.
Edward whispered into Laura’s ear as her hands still explored his hair. “I want to enjoy you fully.”
Laura gasped and pulled back. Had he gone too far? Laura seemed frightened by the implications, but she had nothing to fear. Edward would always take care of her if Laura were to give her body to him. “I’m … I’m not sure if I can.” Laura quickly got up from Edward’s lap and ran to the other side of the desk. Edward stood, leaning his hands onto the desk for support.
“Please, don’t go.”
“I fear I must.” Laura ran from the room, and Edward sat back in his chair, entirely out of breath.
