A smile played over her lips as she gazed at him, then she brushed her hand along his length. Her touch made him close his eyes, fighting a shudder of want that coursed through his soul. She explored him eagerly, thoroughly, as she did everything else he’d ever introduced her to.
She found moisture at the tip of his erection and teased her finger over the head.
“Hell,” he grumbled, and then clenched his jaw to stop further outcries. They had to be quiet, or they would be found by his servants—women who must always respect Jessica.
Jessica chuckled softly. “Men really are as sensitive as Fanny claimed.”
He looked down at her and shook his head. He would strangle Fanny the next time they met. “Especially there.”
She nodded and maneuvered him to sit on the edge of the bed. Gideon got a glimpse of their future love life then and there. Nothing surprised her—and nothing would stop her being with him. Jessica was having an excellent time seducing him. He wasn’t at all unhappy about that. He was going to marry her.
He eased back on the bed at her urging.
“Take off your clothes,” he whispered.
She grinned. “I thought you’d never ask.”
Her fingers flew down the line of buttons at the front of her gown, and when she shrugged out of the garment, she was bare beneath.
She’d come to Gideon, traipsed across two estates with him, wearing nothing but a thin gown!
He reached for her and dragged her naked onto the bed with him. They kissed and kissed, until they were both panting and feverish with lust. Gideon explored her curves eagerly. Pressing kisses as he moved down her body.
Jessica sighed and panted to each caress, her fingers tangled in his hair. When he reached her breasts and made love to them, her moans and enthusiasm for what he was doing left no doubt that she was enjoying herself.
He ran his fingertips down the outside of her long legs, and then detoured toward her soft inner thighs. Jessica breaths began to churn, and he looked up at her quickly. She said nothing…not even when he moved his fingers to the apex of her thighs. She trembled a little and bit her bottom lip to muffle her moan. Gideon moved to a more comfortable position, so his face was directly over her sex.
“That’s where you wanted to kiss me, wasn’t it?” she asked in a rough whisper.
He nodded. “This is where I will kiss you, repeatedly, as often as you want me to.”
She collapsed onto her back and widened her legs for him. Intrigued, he teased his fingers through her hair and then parted her gently. Jessica twitched a little as his fingers explored her folds. He found her already damp, and the scent of her arousal nearly undid him.
Keeping a tight grip on his desires, he found her clitoris and played with her. Jessica threw an arm over her eyes, her other over her mouth, and even so, her moans took on a desperate edge.
He lowered his head and kissed her once, twice, a third time. And then he flicked his tongue across her as she cried out in surprise. He settled in to feast on her hungrily.
Jessica grabbed his hair suddenly, holding him against her sex as if he wasn’t close enough. He sucked a little, licked a lot, and it wasn’t long before Jessica was writhing—lost in passion.
Gideon pushed her thighs wider with his shoulders then pinned her body in place. He loved her until she bucked and thrashed against his face and gasped his name.
He eased her back to earth with soft kisses, and then moved up her body slowly, taking his time before meeting her eyes again.
She had a dazed look about her, and she’d never looked more lovely with her dark hair spread across his pillows. He braced himself above her, keeping his weight on his arms as she came back to him.
She wet her lips. “Oh my. That was…”
He grinned and aligned his hips with hers. “Only the beginning.”
Jessica shifted beneath him, glancing down to where his hips pressed against hers. “I can still feel the sensations.”
He nodded. “That’s the way it should be.”
He was in no hurry to bed her, but he eased his hips into position. He raised one of her legs and set her foot on the mattress beside his hip. Jessica lifted the other on her own.
She touched his face, caressed his cheek, smiling the whole time. “I’m ready.”
Gideon set his hand over her hip and tilted her up a little. “I know.”
