They are every bit as important as skill in bed . Lightly, she kissed the tips of his fingers.
Ethan’s breathing was now definitely becoming more rapid. The excitement she saw shining in his eyes, in turn excited her. She imagined his manhood swelling with anticipation. This caused a wave of heat to crash over her entire body, and within seconds she could feel the juices flowing between her legs.
Not too quickly, she warned herself.
Rising from her chair, she sauntered around the table. Ethan attempted to rise as well, but she placed a firm hand on his shoulder to keep him in place. Once positioned behind him, she ran her fingers down his chest until her lips were touching his right ear.
“I’ve been wanting this for so long,” she whispered, nibbling at his earlobe. She felt him tense, and at first she thought he was not enjoying what she was doing. Panic gripped her for a moment, but it quickly passed when she heard him let out a deep moan.
She continued to lightly kiss her way along his neck, her hands sliding down his stomach as she went. Then she reached his thigh, and suddenly, there was the hard outline of his member. Of course she knew that it was close by, but the contact was still unexpected and she very nearly pulled away instinctively. Fortunately, she was able to gather her wits in time.
As she ran her palm over its length, she was startled by the size of it. Particularly considering Ethan’s slight frame. After only a few seconds his hand shot up and grabbed her arm, squeezing tightly. His breathing was now coming in short gasps.
Following Lylinora’s advice, Kat did not linger where she was for more than a few seconds lest his passion get the better of him. She eased back, still tasting his skin on her tongue. She wanted more. Her mind was racing as her desires flared.
Ethan stood and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him with surprising power. Again she could feel his hardness, but this time it was rubbing against her most sensitive place; the tiny place Lylinora had warned her not to expose to his touch too soon.
Their kiss was deep and desperate. Two creatures of pure carnal need aching for one another. Her knees began to weaken as their tongues tickled each other delightfully. She was on the verge of surrender - of allowing herself to fall into complete abandon - when Lylinora’s voice whispered in the back of her mind. Be patient. Even when you don’t think you can wait a moment longer .
Only with a tremendous effort was she able to pull away. Ethan stumbled forward, his hands trembling and his eyes glazed, oblivious to all but the woman before him.
“Not yet,” she whispered.
When Ethan opened his mouth to respond, she placed a finger over his lips. Taking his hand, she silently led him from the boat and down to the nearby beach. With each step she tried to remember Lylinora’s instructions, but her mind was unable to focus on anything apart from the fact that she was at last going to have the man she loved. Did he love her in return, or was the look in his eyes purely from carnal desire? It didn’t matter. Not anymore. Her love was strong enough for them both.
A large blanket that she had placed on the sand earlier awaited them. At a flick of her wrist, the torches standing in each of the four corners burst to life, filling the night with warm radiance. They sat down facing one another. Ethan took her hands and kissed the back of her fingers gently, his eyes still locked on hers.
“You haven’t asked me,” he said.
Kat smiled. “What haven’t I asked?”
“If I love you.”
Kat hesitated. A part of her wanted to say that she didn’t care. Another part was afraid of what he might tell her if she did ask. More than anything, she didn’t want her moment to be lost.
“You don’t need to –” she began.
This time it was Ethan’s finger that pressed against her lips. “I need to say this,” he said. “And you deserve to hear it.”
