“There is no need to keep it a secret that you want to make love with me,” he said. “I want to make love with you.”
“It is a good feeling, a good thought, and one I enjoy thinking on. It frees me from sensing and visions, and, for a while I simply feel my own feelings; and I never realized how precious that could be. In a sense, you bring me peace.”
“I’m grateful that I can do that for you.” He grinned. “And believe me when I tell you that I can consistently keep your thoughts occupied.”
She smiled. “Promise.”
“I give my word,wife.I shall keep your musings busy with thoughts of me ... and pleasure.”
He felt her shiver, and his own body did the same. Somehow ... was it fate? They had become more husband and wife than they had realized, and he was not at all opposed to it. He actually found himself more and more liking the idea.
They traveled on in relative silence, only exchanging a word or two. It was imperative that they see this done. Now more than ever, Trey didn’t mind delaying his return home. He had a reason to go to Pict territory. He needed to meet Dolca and talk with her, and he needed to see that she returned to his home, with Bliss and him.
Clouds and cold settled early over the land, forcing Trey and Bliss to stop for the evening earlier than planned. A fire was necessary to chase away the cold that was settling into their bones, and food was required to fill their hungry stomachs.
Of course, the idea of making love to her remained strong in his thoughts, his body also reminding him since every time he looked at Bliss, he felt a catch to his groin. He had to keep reminding himself that now was not the time or place, but damn if he didn’t want to ignore his own words of warning.
They found a place to stop and feasted on a rabbit that Trey had been lucky enough to snare. Soon after, they cuddled on a blanket in front of the campfire though sleep eluded them.
Trey tried not to think about her body pressed so intimately against him though it was hard not to. Her full breasts lay hard against his chest, and the junction of her thighs nestled nicely against his groin, which responded instinctively.
He grew hard, and there was no stopping it. She had that effect on him, and it had been worsening lately. It could be because he ached to be intimate with her and because he knew she felt the same way. Nothing like a willing woman to grow a man hard.
If, however, it had been only lust he wished to satisfy, he could well have had his way with her by now. And that was the reason he presently fought his desire for her. He wanted something special with her, something memorable.
She cuddled her face in the crook of his neck, her warm breath tickling and heating his skin all at once, not to mention what it was doing to other parts of his body.
He should push her away, but he didn’t want to. He wanted her right where she was, tight up against him, where he could feel her nipples harden and poke at his chest. And smell the scent of her, so rich and ripe with desire.
“You need to turn away from me,” he said suddenly, and eased her away from him.
She shivered. “But I am cold, and you make me warm.”
He took hold of her chin. “And you make me hot. Now turn around and keep your back to mine.”
She wrinkled her nose in disappointment but didn’t argue with him.
He draped his arm over her waist, though he kept a space between their bodies. They didn’t utter a word, and, finally, after some time, they both fell asleep.
Bliss woke with a start to find Trey’s hand gently exploring her body. While his touch was intimate, it also explored, as if he wanted to get to know every part of her. His fingers lingered just beneath her breast, his hand slipping beneath to cup her and squeeze ever so gently. His thumb rubbed across her nipple several times, turning it hard, then he teased the tip with light strokes.
She stayed as she was, eager to see what he would do next, eager for him to continue. His hand slipped down over her stomach and splayed across it. It remained there, not moving, and for a moment Bliss feared he would go no farther ... and she wanted him to.
He had brought her body to life. It was as if she was fully alive for the first time, her feelings foreign but ever so delightful. Tingles raced through her, and though the night was cold, she felt hot.
His hand began to move, once more slipping farther down until it came to rest between her legs. His thumb soon settled over a particular spot and began massaging it with just the right pressure. A sensation began to spread deep inside her until she found herself squirming against his touch and felt herself begin to pulsate between her legs.
Her breath caught when his fingers slipped down into the folds of her skirt and rubbed at her wetness.
It drove her insane with the want of him, and she knew that she didn’t want to wait any longer. She wanted her husband to make love to her here and now, under the night sky, with a sliver of a moon and only a few twinkling stars, and the stillness of the night surrounding them.
With a smile, she turned around in his arms to surrender and was shocked to find him asleep.
Chapter 15
Trey wondered what was wrong. As soon as he woke, he knew that Bliss was annoyed, more than annoyed; she seemed angry. His suspicions were confirmed when he realized she stayed out of his reach when they began their journey for the day.
It was obvious she didn’t intend for him to hold her hand. He only wished he knew what disturbed her and if he was to blame, though he had done nothing but fall asleep, dream about her, and wake up.
