it over the back of one of the oversized leather theater chairs. “Normally you’re so eager to show off your body. Are you getting stage fright, Prince Alexander?”
A naughty smile spread across her face. She was literally a sinful sight before him, but he’d never been known for being a choir boy.
“Oh, I’m not afraid of anything.” He wasted no time in stripping down to his black boxer briefs. “I was merely admiring the view of my sexy new wife.”
When Victoria’s eyes raked down his body, pausing at his throbbing erection, then back up to meet his eyes, she bit her lip. Nerves were getting to her and he refused to let her overthink this.
“You were starting to relax. Come on, Tori.” He reached out, sliding his hands up her bare arms and stepping into her. “You’ve seen me in swimming trunks skimpier than this.”
Her eyes locked on to his, her hands coming up to rest on his chest. “True, but this is so much different. I just don’t want this to change us...you know, afterward.”
He kissed her lips, gently, slowly. Kissed his way along her jawline, down the long, slender column of her throat, pleased when she tilted her head back and groaned. He’d dreamed of this moment for so long. Longer than he liked to admit, even to himself. He’d never allowed any woman to have such control over his mind or his fantasies.
“Nothing will change,” he assured her between kisses. “Unless it’s better. And I’m positive in the next few minutes, things between us will get a whole lot better.”
Victoria’s arms circled around his neck as her head turned, her mouth colliding with his.
And that’s when the dam burst. His, hers. Did it matter? He’d wanted her for years, and whether she’d wanted him that long or she’d just decided it in the past few weeks they’d been together he didn’t know, but he did know he was going to have her. Now. Here.
Stefan encircled her waist with his hands, slid them on down to the slight flare of her hips and slowly walked her to the bar in the back of the room. When he hoisted her up onto to the counter, she laughed.
“In a hurry?” she mocked with a teasing grin.
“I’ve waited for this for a long time,” he told her, staring at her moist, swollen lips. “I always swore if we ever came to this moment I’d take my time. But right now I can’t wait another minute.”
Her smiled weakened as she held his gaze. “I think I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, too. I just never realized...”
Stefan didn’t want a confession, not now. He didn’t want her to explore her feelings...or, God forbid, try to uncover his. He just wanted Victoria.
He stepped between her gloriously spread legs, slid his palms up her smooth, bare thighs and thumbed along the edge of her white silk panties.
When she hooked her thumbs through the thin straps and shifted from side to side to ease them off, he gratefully helped her slide them down her long, toned legs.
She reached around behind the bustier.
“Leave it,” he ordered. “I like how you look right now.”
With tousled hair, bare skin from the waist down and that white silk bustier molded to her curves and pushing her breasts up...yeah, he liked her just the way she was. All sexy and rumpled and ready for him.
“I want to feel your skin on mine,” she told him, still working on the back of her lingerie.
How could he argue with her defense? No man with air in his lungs would turn down bare breasts.
“Then let me help,” he offered.
He eased his hands around and, one by one, each hook-and-eye closure popped open. Thankfully it was cut low, so there weren’t very many. When the garment was fully open, he stepped back.
Victoria held on to the front of the material still covering her breasts. “You’re sure?” she asked.
Without a word, he brushed her hands aside, took the bustier and threw it over his shoulder. And finally, she was completely and utterly naked. And completely and utterly
