Free Lessons in Love by Victoria Sinclair Page B

naked now, and his eyes roamed her feverishly. She took a deep shuddering breath as she grasped the waistband of his shorts and removed them. Quite unconscious of what she was doing to him, she moved down and brought her lips to touch the head of his penis. His body shuddered with need and desire.
    ‘Not yet, Emily my precious, not yet. Let me pleasure you first.’ And her protests ended before she’d even given voice to them, as his mouth found first one nipple and then the other, teasing, licking and pulling, as she writhed beneath him, desperate for him to quench the thirst he’d aroused in her. But he persisted, hands roaming every intimate crevice of her body, caressing softly, stroking unbearably gently, as she panted for him.
    ‘Please Nicholas!’ she begged, as his mouth began a slow route down her stomach and down to the most sensitive part of her body. She raised her hips, pushing herself more firmly against his questing mouth as he licked and suckled, bringing her so close to the fulfilment of her desire that she cried out. ‘Now Nicholas! Now! I want you inside me!’
    ‘Do you have any protection?’ he murmured, trailing a length of kisses along her body. Emily fumbled in her bedside drawer, barely able to stand the wait. An unopened packet of condoms her best friend Sonya had given her before going overseas were suddenly more welcome than ever. She managed to get one out, and Nicholas fumbled with it for a moment, as anxious as she was to consummate their lovemaking.
    With one last groan of his own suppressed desire, he lifted himself up over her, and positioned himself above her, as she reached her hands to his buttocks, pulling him down until he was deep inside her. She gasped as she felt him enter, and then all thought was lost, as she was swept away by sensation, rocking in response to his own rhythm, until she could bear it no more, and feeling such intense pleasure it seemed as though her whole life had been leading up to this point. She almost screamed in release as the orgasm rocketed through her body. An instant later Nicholas groaned loudly as his body shuddered in its own final release, and he collapsed upon her kissing her neck, her ear and finally her mouth, as she lay satiated beneath him, every fantasy fulfilled in this one intense moment of purest passion.
     
    Much later Nicholas rose from the bed, his lips swollen from their kisses, and his hair tousled boyishly. He looked down at Emily, his eyes tender with a depth of feeling she had never seen before, and she felt like the most cherished woman in the world. She sat up, watching him as he dressed.
    ‘I wish I didn’t have to leave.’ The regret in his voice was genuine. They each wished it could be otherwise, but she couldn’t let Nicholas be here when Veronica and Steven arrived home.
    ‘Me too,’ she murmured, smiling at him. ‘Oh Nicholas, what are we going to do?’ she asked, shaking her head slowly, half unable to believe the events that had just transpired.
    ‘We’ll play it by ear. It’s all we can do. There is nothing… nothing …that’s wrong about what we’ve got. Remember that. Forget about student/lecturer ethics. What we have hasn’t got a place in that. We’ll work this out each day as it comes.’
    After he’d left, Emily took a brief shower, needing to hide all traces of what she’d done from her siblings. She wasn’t ashamed by any means, but knew they weren’t yet ready to understand. Maybe one day they would be, but not so soon. Not when it was still so new for Emily. Not when she was still so confused by her own emotions and feelings.

Chapter Five
    Emily stepped into the lecture theatre Monday afternoon with barely a minute to spare. Something struck her as awry, and she frowned. As she found a seat, it occurred to her that she’d never known Nicholas to arrive so late.
    She unpacked her books and doodled on the corner of a fresh page of her notebook, only half aware when a man dressed in a
