Chapter 24 #2
I moved my fingers faster, curling them the way that always made her come.
She stiffened and inhaled quickly, her sweet cunny tightening around my digits as she climaxed.
Her grip on my shaft loosened, and then to my utter shock and delight, she pushed on my chest, sending me down to the blanket.
Faster than I expected, she climbed over me, settling herself on my thighs and once again grasping my cock.
She drew me inside, her walls still quivering from her spend.
She was wet, ready, and began to move. She braced herself on my chest, then frowned and pushed her hands under the linen to my skin.
With a grin, I grasped the middle and tore it in half, exposing myself fully to her.
She traced over my muscles and chest, lingering on my flat nipples, pulling and teasing them, making me groan.
She undulated her hips, rocking slowly, taking her pleasure and giving me mine.
My cock was bathed in her heat. Saturated in her wetness.
Delirious with passion and rejoicing in her taking charge.
“Ride me, Maddie,” I pleaded. “Harder. Take me as deeply as you can.”
She leaned over me, gripping my thighs as her head fell back, her hair tickling my knees.
I was as deep inside her as I could possibly be, the sensation incredible.
We moved like a wave, flowing and ebbing, rising higher and higher.
The pleasure grew, expanding and rippling down my spine, sending shards of ecstasy throughout my body.
Nothing in my life had prepared me for this woman.
For the passion I felt for her. The love.
With a roar, I sat up, wrapping her in my arms. Covering her mouth with mine. Swallowing her cries of pleasure. Drowning in my own. I spilled inside her as she gripped my cock, milking me. Taking all I had to give. Until we were spent. Exhausted.
Blissfully wrapped around each other.
I floated in the cool water, Maddie’s arms around my neck, her voice still shocked. “Alexander, I still believe you lie! This is not done.”
I laughed quietly, pressing a kiss to her crown. “But we are doing it, my sweet.”
“Naked in the water. What if a person came by right now? They would be scandalized beyond comprehension!”
After our frantic, passionate coupling, we were both hot, sticky, and a mess. I convinced Maddie to swim naked with me in the brook, assuring her I did it all the time and we were fully protected by the trees. When she had protested, uncertain and worried, I had laughed and drawn her into my arms.
“You just rode me on this blanket for anyone to see, my love. Let me suck your breasts in the open. Think of how cool and refreshing the water will be against our hot skin.”
I knew her to be overheated and uncomfortable and the offer too tempting when she gave in quickly.
I laughed as I watched her remove her chemise, her gaze seeking the trees and fields constantly.
She moved swiftly to the water’s edge and let me tug her in with me, her low inhale of air as the water lapped around her waist and chest almost a sigh of relief.
“If someone happened by, all they would see are our heads. Far less than they would have seen only a short while before.”
“Oh,” she replied.
“Is it not cool? Wondrous on your skin?”
“Yes.” She frowned. “I worry about your arm.”
“The water is clean and feels good on it. Cease to worry, my love. It is fine. It hardly pains me at all.”
She glanced around again. “Do others make a habit of this?”
I laughed. “Probably not. I love the outdoors. I enjoy how the water feels on my skin with the sun overhead. The freedom. I have always enjoyed it.”
I pulled her closer, feeling her breasts press into my chest. “I find it invigorating,” I murmured, reaching low and pulling her legs around my waist. “Stimulating, even.”
Her eyes widened as she felt me hard and pressing against her again. “Alexander,” she whispered. “Again?”
“Yes,” I assured her. “Lean back in the water,” I coaxed. “Relax. I will support you.”
She did, her hair streaming behind her. Water dripped off her skin, her nipples hard points that glistened in the sun. Bending, I took one in my mouth, warming it and making her moan.
“I can show you another way to enjoy the water, Maddie,” I growled against her breast, sucking hard. “One so scandalous you will cry out my name repeatedly.”
“I would like to try that,” she murmured, arching her back. “Alexander,” she pleaded as I bit down gently, then blew over her nipple.
I smiled against her skin.
Swimming naked had never been so stimulating, and I liked the added benefits. I would assume that my wife did as well.
Repeatedly.
That evening, I laid out the new dressing gown I had purchased for her and waited impatiently for her to finish her nightly routine.
I heard her exclamation of delight when she spied my gift.
A moment later, my wife appeared before me, wearing the gown and nothing else.
We both enjoyed sleeping skin to skin, and she found herself too warm these days with a nightgown.
The violet silk glowed in the firelight, clinging to her form. I held out my hand, drawing her to me.
“You are a vision,” I murmured.
“Alexander, it is so beautiful,” she whispered. “You are too generous to me.”
I shook my head. “I don’t think I am generous enough. I love spoiling you, but my love, I believe getting to see you in that dressing gown is more a gift to me.”
She laughed and twirled, a froth of lace and silk circling her. “Exquisite,” I mused, placing a hand over the swell that grew a little every day. “Our babe grows,” I added.
“Hmm,” she replied. “Perhaps it is more I am full of lake water this evening than babe.” She paused. “I believe much entered my body earlier today through your vigorous, ah, actions.”
I looked up at her, her mischievous smile making me throw back my head in laughter. I loved it when she teased me.
I pulled her to my lap and lifted my knees, jostling her. “Shall I shake it from you, wife?”
She joined me in laughter, nestling her head to my shoulder. “No, I shall recover, my lord.”
We were quiet for a moment, and I enjoyed the peacefulness of the evening, holding my wife and appreciating a fine snifter of brandy. Often, Maddie would chat about her day or talk about something she was working on for the babe, but tonight, she was silent.
I pressed a kiss to her head. “Did I exhaust you today?”
“Perhaps,” she said, sounding sleepy.
I had looked forward to removing her pretty dressing gown.
Making love to her. But it had been a day filled with many “vigorous actions,” as she phrased it.
I knew there would be many nights ahead of us when I could indulge my wish.
For tonight, I would be happy to hold her in my arms and sleep next to her.
After our swim earlier, we had dried in the sun, then dressed and returned to the manor.
My waistcoat covered my torn shirt, and Maddie carried the blanket in front of her, hiding her disheveled appearance and the fact that her clothing wasn’t proper.
Half an hour after returning, we had met in the library, both put to rights, my arm rebandaged, and looking dignified again.
She had blushed prettily when I informed her I preferred it when she looked tousled.
She had lifted her chin, trying to appear stern.
“You, sir, must learn to behave.”
I grinned, lowering my head to hers and pressing a kiss to her sweet mouth. “What fun would that be, my wife? I think you like me just as I am.”
She had smiled. That beautiful, wide smile she had only for me. “I do.”
I glanced down, seeing she was asleep. Her eyelashes rested on her skin that was slightly rosy from the sun today.
I ran a hand over her head, feeling the silk of her hair.
Liking how she relaxed against me, knowing I would keep her safe.
I rested my hand on her stomach, pleased to know it wasn’t the only place she was growing.
She was no longer thin and malnourished-looking.
Her skin glowed, her hair was luxurious, and her body had filled out well.
Add in her condition, and she was glorious.
I finished my brandy and carefully lifted her from my lap. My arm pulled a little, but it wasn’t overly painful and I ignored it.
I sat her on the bed, carefully divesting her of the pretty silk gown and laid her down. She slept through the entire happening, obviously more tired than she allowed me to see.
I stretched out beside her, smiling as she rolled into place with her head in the crook of my neck and her arm flung over my chest. I lay in the dark, the stars outside bright in the night sky. I was thankful for this day. For every day. Perhaps more aware now of how precious they were.
Then I slept.
