The firelight bathes her in golden hues as she casts a quick glance around the room. She meets my gaze. “I think you’re spoiling me.”
“You deserve to be spoiled.” I grasp her bottom and give it a firm squeeze. “You also deserve to be bent over the bed and thoroughly fucked.”
Her lips part on a tiny gasp, and a blush darkens her cheeks. “Um, as you know, this is my first… my first time. I-I’m a bit nervous, Lucas. What if… what if it hurts?” Her cheeks turn an even darker shade of pink, but there’s also a glint of worry in her eyes that I don’t like. It rouses my protective instincts.
With soft caresses, I run my hands through her hair, then I place a finger beneath her chin and force her to meet my stare. “I will be gentle with you, sweetling. I promise. Eventually, we’ll work our way up to thorough fuckings, but likely not the first few times.”
A shaky breath leaves her. “I trust you, and I-I am eager. Thank you for promising to be gentle. I just hope…” Her voice trails off and a frown mars her face.
“You just hopewhat?” I ask in an encouraging tone. Whatever is bothering her, I resolve that I’ll do anything I can to ease her fears. She’s my innocent little bride, and it’s my duty and privilege to guide her in the ways of mating.
“I just hope I’m good at it.” Her eyes flare wide, and she tries to look away, but I don’t release my hold on her chin. “I mean, I hope I can bring you pleasure and make you happy.”
I exhale an internal sigh of relief at her words. Gods, she really is too sweet. “Yvette, my darling bride, you don’t need to worry about pleasing me and making me happy in bed. Trust me when I say that there’s no way you won’t do that just by being yourself and following your natural urges. I will be here with you the entire time, helping and guiding and loving you in return.” I finally drop my hand from her chin.
A look of relief starts to cross her face, only for her eyes to widen again when she glances at the bed. She tucks her hair behind her ears with a trembling hand. “Well, that makes me feel a little better. Thank you, Lucas. Thank you for being so understanding.”
“Anything for you, sweetling.”
Despite her nervousness and her worries, the scent of her arousal remains thick in the air. She might be unsure of herself and anxious about what’s about to pass between us, but she’s also aching for it.
I have no doubt that when I finally get her naked, I’ll discover her cunny is slick and swollen and ready for claiming. My nostrils flare as I take another deep inhale of her delicious aroma.
“I think we’re wearing too much clothing, sweet Yvette.” I reach for the ties at the front of her gown and slowly work open the fastening.
My movements are slow as I start undressing her, and her chest rises and falls rapidly as I prepare to bear her bosom to my gaze. At last, I have the final tie undone, and I push her gown down over her shoulders, finally exposing her generous breasts. Her nipples are dark pink and hard, and I can’t resist tracing those little buds with my thumbs. A moan catches in her throat and her eyes brim with desire.
“Gods, sweetling, you are breathtaking.” I cradle her head and place a gentle kiss on her lips. My heart beats faster. My wife. My darling mate. Affection brims in my soul as I lean in to kiss her forehead. A surge of possessiveness for her also steals through me, and I vow that I will always, always keep her safe.
I help her out of her shoes and finish sliding the gown down her petite but curvy body. She grasps my arm to steady herself as she finally steps out of the gown. I growl as my gaze roams over her. The firelight dances across her smooth, pale flesh.
“No undergarments of any kind, sweetling?”
She flushes. “No. The seamstress you hired offered me several nice options, but I decided this might be a bit more exciting.”
I lean closer and run a hand through her long, wavy tresses. “How indecent.” I bare my teeth at her, then move in for a kiss. Grasping her face, I slide my tongue into her mouth and drink in the essence of her, unable to get enough of her pretty moans and whimpers. Still breathless from our previous kiss, she pushes at my chest and struggles in my arms. At last, I take mercy on her and break away.
“You beast. If you keep kissing me like that, you’re going to make me swoon.”
I chuckle and press my forehead to hers. Our breaths mingle as I allow my hands to wander all over her body, gliding up and down her hips, the sides of her breasts, and around to cup her pert little bottom. When I squeeze her ass and draw her cheeks slightly apart, she gasps and jolts in my arms. The scent of her arousal heightens and fills my lungs with every deep breath I take.
Gods, I must have her. Right fucking now.
I release her and take a step back, then hold her gaze as I remove every stitch of my clothing. Her eyes grow wide, and her face turns an even darker shade of pink as she glimpses my unclothed body for the first time. A shaky breath leaves her and she shifts in place, rubbing her thighs together as though the ache in her core is becoming unbearable.
Despite her obvious excitement, her eyes flicker with worry as she stares at my fully erect appendage. I grasp the base of my cock and give it a provocative stroke as she watches. She makes an alarmed sound in her throat.
I close the space between us and give her a comforting look. “I said I’ll be gentle with you, sweetling, and I mean it.”
“You’re very large,” she blurts in a breathless, high-pitched voice.
“I might be very large, but you’re very slick,” I say as I reach between her thighs and drag a finger along the seam of her nether lips.
She whimpers and grasps hold of my arms while I continue my explorations. I slip a digit inside her core and groan at the immense wetness I discover. Gods, she’s soaking, and her pussy is nicely swollen too. When I retract my finger and shift to cup her mound, the heat of her core pulses against my palm. She trembles against me and whimpers as her center lurches forward and grinds into my hand.
“Get on the bed, sweetling.” I draw back and meet her eyes. “Get on the bed, lie on your back, and spread your legs.”
