Sebastian let out a low groan when she cupped him softly, her brows furrowed in fascination. He pressed a gentle hand on her wrist, his heart racing.
“Teach me how to please you,” she whispered as she looked up at him, her eyes wide and innocent.
“Move… move your hand,” he muttered before guiding her hand to massage his aching hardness. She did so almost eagerly, wanting to please him, though the movement of her hand faltered when he pressed a thumb on the small bundle of nerves in the apex of her thighs. She closed her eyes and let out a gasp, falling against his chest desperately.
“Do… do that again,” she muttered—a desperate plea that he obliged immediately, this time rubbing languid circles that had her trembling and moaning in his arms.
“Please, Sebastian,” she whispered, her breath feathering over his neck. “I need more. I want more.”
The temptation to be bold enough, desperate enough, to plead with him to take her on the desk in his study coursed through her. Self-control won out, though and she managed to drag her lips away from his for a fraction of a second.
“Bedchamber,” was all she whispered before allowing him to lead her up the stairs silently. Caroline followed him wordlessly, out of breath and clinging to his hand as though she’d drown if she dared to let go. Once inside the bedchamber, Sebastian was quick to shut the door and press his body against hers, their lips meeting in another fervent kiss. They wasted no time—Sebastian quickly ridding Caroline of her gown before stripping off his own attire. This time, he took his time to slide his gaze over her nude form, appreciating every line and curve as he lay her down on the bed.
A blush rose to her cheeks and he used his index finger to lift her chin. “Caroline,” he whispered, “Look at me.”
It took a few seconds before she lifted her eyes to gaze upon his nude form. Her eyes moved slowly over every muscle before landing on his erect member and she bit down on her lower lip hungrily.
“Take me, Sebastian,” she whispered before laying back on the bed, her legs falling open. Sebastian moved quickly, positioning his body over hers and entering her in a swift moment.
“Oh…”
He swallowed the soft moan that arose from her lips as their hips started moving rhythmically, almost desperately against each other and his grip tightened around her hips when he felt her starting to clench around his hardness.
He met her lips again, pressing chaste kisses against her swollen mouth before moving his lips to her ear.
“Let go for me, darling,” he whispered softly, thrusting deeply and grunting when she let out a series of wanton sounds, her legs and arms wrapping eagerly around him as she found the brink of ecstasy. He followed shortly after, burying his face in her neck as his body stiffened before the release crashed over him.
They lay like that, wrapped up in each other, silent until sleep came and overtook them.
Chapter 20
The next morning, Caroline stirred first, a contented sigh escaping her lips as she burrowed deeper into the solid warmth of her husband's embrace. Sebastian's arms tightened around her instinctively, even in sleep, as if he loathed to let her slip away.
Her eyes fluttered open and she leaned in impulsively to press a feather-light kiss to his slightly parted lips, tracing the chiseled line of his jaw with a gentle finger. Sebastian stirred at her touch, his eyes blinking open and a lazy grin spreading across his face as he focused on her.
“Good morning, wife,” he murmured, his voice rough with sleep and intimate with desire. “If this is the sight I get to wake up to every day, I may never leave this bed.”
Caroline laughed softly, swatting at his chest in playful admonishment. “Tempting as that may be, husband, I have other plans for you today.”
Sebastian quirked a brow, a glint of mischief dancing in his green eyes. “Oh? Do tell.”
She sat up, the sheets pooling around her waist and baring the creamy expanse of her skin and the soft roundness of her breaststo his appreciative gaze. “Well, as you have no pressing business to attend to today, I thought perhaps we could spend some time out of doors. Enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, take in the beauty of nature.”
Sebastian's hands skimmed up her bare arms, pulling her closer. “I can think of a few natural beauties I'd like to take in,” he murmured suggestively, nuzzling into the crook of her neck and moving his hands to cup her breasts.
Caroline's breath hitched, heat pooling low in her belly at his touch. Without truly thinking about it, she swung a leg over his lap to straddle him, her wetness pressing against the hardness of his thigh. Sebastian groaned and he reached out to cup her hips, his eyes darkened with lust.
“If you have other plans for me,” he managed to get out, “I am afraid you should not have done this.”
Caroline smiled down at him, enjoying the sudden rush of power she felt at his desperate need to be with her. She rolled her hips slightly and groaned at the sensation, suddenly wanting more—her plans of a walk in the garden dissipating.
“The garden,” she whispered, her voice loaded with need, “will be there when we are done.”
Sebastian nodded heavily and made a move to flip them over, but she shook her head firmly. “No,” she indicated, and hefrowned, though he dropped his hands to his side at once. “Please… let me.”
Sebastian remained motionless, save for a tilt of his head and a raise of his brows. Caroline flashed him an enchanting smile before straddling him, her hips lifted while her hand slowly started rubbing his hardening member.
Then she sank down on him slowly and Sebastian let out a loud expletive, followed by a drawn-out groan as she started moving her hips back and forth. His eyes were fixed to her bouncing breasts and his hands moved just a bit to steady her rocking hips.
