“Do you know what I thought when I first saw you?” he asked, touching a kiss to her forehead as he began to undo her gown.
“That I was a lackwit for searching so hard for a horse that was standing mere feet away?” She trembled as he ran his fingers up and down her back, the tempting warmth of his touch penetrating her linen chemise and sinking into her blood.
“Nay, I thought you were adorable.”
Stepping free of the gown now tangled around her feet, she frowned at him. “Adorable? A woman standing before a man in her shift truly does not wish to be thought of as adorable, Bened.”
He laughed. “If you had been standing before me like this on that day, adorable would not have been the first word to come to mind. Nay, it would have been mine.”
She smiled as he picked her up and carried her to the bed, seating her on the edge. When he knelt at her feet to tug off her shoes, she stroked her hands over his hair and untied the leather strip that held the thick length of hair off his face. Primrose combed her fingers through it, amazed at how soft it felt.
The feel of his hands moving up her leg distracted her from her enjoyment of his hair. He untied the ribbons holding her stocking in place and slowly removed it in a way that was as much a caress as if he was using his hands against her skin. By the time he removed the second stocking she was trembling, astonished by how such an ordinary action could so deeply stir her desires. When he began to kiss his way up her leg, she offered no shy resistance, eager for what she suspected he was about to do. The first touch of his lips in the intimate kiss she had been anticipating almost pushed her over the edge.
As her body weakened from the strength of the passion roaring through her, she fell back onto the bed. Bened took full advantage of her surrender and Primrose lost all ability to even think of how brazen she was being. Then she knew she was close to the edge and called out his name but he ignored her, taking her to the heights with just his clever mouth. She was still sprawled on the bed trying to catch her breath when he stood up and began to shed his clothing.
One thing Primrose had never expected was that she would so enjoy looking at a naked man. But Bened was a pleasure to see in all his glory. Tall and strong, taut swarthy skin stretched over firm muscle. The small triangle of black curls on his chest and the line of hair leading down to his impressive erection. She idly thought that she needed to find a better name for that as it sounded a bit odd. His legs were long and strong as were his arms and she loved to feel all that strength against her, loved to wrap herself around it. It was not even the fact that she had the comforting knowledge of a strong man at her side as much as it was the look and feel of him. When he got on the bed and tugged off her shift she was quick to get as close to him as possible, soaking in his warmth.
Thinking to give him at least a little of the pleasure he had given her, she began to kiss her way down his body. The way he tensed and the faint tremor that went through him told her he liked it. Then she kissed the tip of his erection and he groaned. Chancing a peek at him, she blushed as she caught him watching her but the look in his beautiful eyes encouraged her to be even more daring and she slowly ran her tongue up his length. He buried his fingers in her hair and she decided to keep teasing him, exploring him thoroughly with her tongue and fingers.
“Take me into your mouth, love,” he whispered.
Primrose thought about that for just a moment and then did as he asked, finding new ways to drive him mad if the sounds he was making were any indication. Then he grabbed her under the arms, pulled her away, and tugged her up his body. Before she finished the thought that she had done something wrong, he joined their bodies. She sat on top of him for a moment, still somewhat dazed from pleasuring him, and then he placed his hands on her hips and lifted her, then slowly brought her back down on him. He did it twice more before she felt brave enough to do it on her own. He leaned up to kiss her breasts and she lost herself completely in the lovemaking and the delight they could give each other, until the fire flared and swept through her. He held her tight against him as he thrust inside her several more times and joined her in her release.
