contrite tone.
He smiled. “That won’t be necessary. I doubt I’ll find it inconvenient.”
“Oh, good,” she exclaimed, like a child allowed a special treat. “Do you think you
“I’ll do my best,” the man who held all the records for continuous sex in the brothels of London replied, mildly. Climbing into bed, he lay back against the pillows.
“I absolutely adore when you come in me.” Her voice held that same note of breathlessness. “I wonder if other women feel that way, like some primordial female fertility figure waiting to be implanted with male sperm. All expectant and fruitful and yielding. Is that strange?”
He smiled, his gaze flicking to his erection. “I don’t know, but it’s making me horny as hell.”
“Oh my God…” she breathed, watching his penis surge higher. “May I lick it just a little?”
“Be my guest.” It was his turn to offer up a supplication of his own-in his case a prayer of thanks-giving.
Kneeling over him, she held his stiff erection upright with one hand, guided it to her mouth and ran her tongue over the swollen, sensitive head as she massaged and gently pulled on the soft skin of his testicles with the other hand. She tested the weight of the balls in her palm, ran her tongue up one side and down the other of his stiff length, around and around the engorged head, wetting all his turgid flesh until his penis was glistening. “Look, darling. It shines ever so nicely. Oh, dear, I missed a spot.” And bending low once again, she set to rights the small unlicked area of skin. Looking up through her tumbled curls, she smiled. “How much do you think I can get in my mouth?”
Her question added new dimension to his arousal and she uttered a soft muffled cry. “How do you do it?” she whispered, rocking gently on her knees, liquid heat pulsing between her legs. “Get so big?”
“Looking at a delectable little wanton like you,” he murmured, gently stroking her hair.
Her smile was seductive. “Watch me then.”
He watched his erection slide in and out of her mouth, its length swelling even more with each caress of her lips and tongue, his pleasure so great he didn’t know if he was going to come in her mouth or wait to fill her with sperm or whether he was capable of controlling his orgasm at all. She was luscious, pink, and curvaceous-like the earth mother, the fertility deity she’d mentioned. Her breasts were noticeably larger, full and plump, hanging like ripe fruit. And the flare of her hips was more exaggerated than before, adjunct to her new sexually ravenous mood. She was more wanton and eager, more irrepressibly tantalizing and cupping her head in one palm, he pushed his erection deeper into her mouth. She didn’t mind. She sucked on him with all her power as though she were starved and famished for the feel and taste of a man.
But just before he was about to come, he jerked away, wanting to sink into her soft body more. Lifting her mouth to his, he kissed his tangy flavor from her lips. “I may just keep you locked away in here; screw Bessie’s orders,” he whispered against her mouth.
“I’d lie in bed waiting for you to make love to me. You’d let me come and come and come,” she said on a little caught breath, rubbing her breasts against his chest. “My body would always be wet for you and wet from your sperm. I would be your receptacle for sperm.”
It was too much even for a man of his restraint, or maybe he’d never had a wife before, a woman who was his. Maybe that sense of possession, of ownership heightened the avaricious nature of sex. “Open yourself,” he said, his voice rough with lust. “And we’ll see if your body is ready for me.”
She lay back against the pillows instantly; she spread her legs. Her pubic lips were swollen, distended, the moist fluid of desire gleaming on the soft flesh. “Is that wide enough?” she whispered, her expression diffident and so unlike Caro he glanced again at her face. “I’ll do anything to feel you inside,” she breathed, shuddering with need. “I can’t help it.”
Jesus… he’d never seen her so necessitous, so overcome and he wondered if her pregnancy was cause and agent for her new wellspring of burning desire.
“Please, Simon,” she sobbed, her vagina quivering, swimming in glossy lubricant, her thighs spread wide so the little runnels of pearly liquid oozing from her cleft were visible. “I know I’ve said please before, but, I really, really mean it this time…”
“Hush, darling,” he murmured, quickly moving over her, taking her in his arms, gliding into her body, widening her passage, filling her, impaling her as she arched up in desperation to meet him. “I’m here… I’m here,” he whispered as she clung to him, whimpering. “I’m right here inside you for as long as you need me…”
Her hips were writhing, pumping, drawing him deeper and deeper, her need for consummation a fiery, hot hysteria.
And he gave her what she wanted, what she yearned for and craved, staying deep inside her, satisfying her greedy desires with indefatigable patience and skill, indulging her unbridled lust over and over, filling her with come an astonishing number of times.
Enjoying in full measure his first day in the country.
Chapter 31
“For almost a month, the duke and duchess resided in a state of pure undiluted sexual bliss. While they disagreed on much in life, sex was not an area of contention and the days at Monkshood were as close to paradise as carnal passion allowed. Until one morning, during breakfast, Simon handed Caroline a letter from the mail he’d been perusing. ”This looks like a command performance. One of Prinny’s last minute affairs. Do you care to go?“
George IV was having a dinner party.
Caroline wrinkled her nose. “Not in the least,” she murmured, barely glancing at the engraved note.
“Even if I see that Prinny keeps his hands to himself,” Simon noted, drolly, aware of the king’s interest in Caroline.
“The last time you said that, I was forced to fight him off myself because you’d disappeared into the card room. I’d rather not be put in that position again, thank you.”
“Well, one of us has to appear.” Pulling the card back, he perused it again, his mouth pursed.
“Give Prinny some excuse. Others do.”
Simon frowned faintly. “The dinner is in honor of some new decoration the king is awarding Wellington.”
“If you want to go, go.”
He looked up at the pettishness of her tone. “It’s not that I
“I’m sure you’re right.” Even as she realized how unreasonable she sounded, she couldn’t desist. Perhaps she was more thin-skinned than usual. She’d noticed recently how occasionally Simon would seem to be making a particular effort to amuse her, as if he were playing the dutiful husband. She should be grateful; instead, she was mortified and provoked.
And as if she wasn’t already irrationally jealous of his past, he was looking much too handsome lounging in his chair, his dark hair ruffling the collar of his partially opened shirt, a portion of his bare chest exposed, his shirt cuffs unbuttoned. He had that indolent look of a man who had dressed haphazardly after leaving his amorous play.
Which he had.
“I am right and you know it,” he said, evenly, taking issue with her pique over a dinner with the king that was unavoidable. “Don’t be difficult”
“I wouldn’t think of it. Go and see all your
His nostrils flared for a moment, but he controlled his urge to respond.
“Speak up. I won’t tell Bessie or Rose that you dared argue with me.”
His housekeepers had warned him endlessly about the volatile emotions of pregnancy. Heeding their words, he’d been on his best behavior. As he continued to be now. “I’ll go up to the city later today and be back in two days,” he said, each word deliberately impassive. “Do you want anything from London?”
“No. I’m fine.”
