Free Libertine's Wife by Karolyn Cairns

to her and stared at
her boldly. Her breasts were full and round, nipples large and
rosy, begging his touch. Her skin was ivory, unmarred and perfect.
Her stomach was concave, her hips narrow, legs shapely and
well-turned. The sparse nest of blonde curls between her legs drew
and held his admiring eye.
    “ I cannot complain of the
bill of goods I was sold, my dear.” His eyes lingered where they
would. “You are perfection, Arianne. Your body is
exquisite.”
    His lips took hers then, his
tongue sweeping past hers to stroke within her mouth. His kisses
were soft and unhurried. He slowed in his onslaught, his lips
growing teasing and provoking. She closed her eyes and willed
herself to lie still and ignore the clamoring within her. It will be over soon , she
thought in dismay, forcing herself to lie still and think of
anything but his hands upon her body.
    It was difficult to ignore him. He
seemed to know she tried to block out what he did, growing bolder
to arouse her. His tongue teased and darted inside her mouth,
stroking softly within.
    She fought the rising sensations in the
pit of her belly. No stranger to passion, she felt alarmingly warm
all over at once. His hands were slow and unhurried as they
caressed her, making her bite her lip and look away, her head
rolling on the pillow to stare at the wall.
    Garret grasped her chin and forced her
to look at him. “No, you will not look away and pretend this isn’t
happening, sweet wife.” His green eyes were hot and filled with
desire.
    Arianne felt ashamed and disloyal to
Julian in that moment. His hands reached down to cup and fondle her
breasts, expert fingers smoothing over her stiffening pink
nipples.
    Soon his head moved lower. He pulled
voraciously at first one and then the other sensitive peak with his
lips, then with his teeth. He suckled each rosy crest with such
thoroughness, she grew flushed and weak. Treacherous desire soon
unfurled within her.
    Arianne couldn’t ignore the shivers of
anticipation inside her. He lavished his attentions upon her
sensitive breasts. He took his time, lips and tongue running in a
blistering, unhurried path. All the while his hands undermined her
resolve to ignore where they touched and stroked. His tongue darted
in a slow manner across her chest and stomach. His tongue thrust
with rough deliberation inside her navel, stabbing insistently
until she arched with a soft gasp.
    She bit her lip and squeezed
her eyes shut, but the sensations— oh, the
sensations —they were exquisite. Fierce
longings stirred within her, clamoring for more of his lustful
attentions.
    She bit her lip as his large hand
parted the dark blonde curls at the apex of her thighs. His long
fingers stroked her moist quivering flesh there slowly, making her
shake with sudden need. Looking up and seeing her intense reaction
to his touch, he smiled and descended lower.
    “ Let us see if your
education is as thorough as it should be, my sweet.”
    She watched in horror as his head
dipped between her thighs. She was struggling to push him away,
recoiling at once. He held her still with firm hands at her hips.
His lips sought her moist, honeyed secrets with a hungry ardor that
made her gasp aloud in denial.
    She looked down, appalled to see the
dark auburn head buried between her pale thighs. He explored her
feminine secrets with knowing flicks of his tongue. Her gasp of
mortification became one of unadulterated abandon within
seconds.
    Hoarse sobs escaped her as he pried her
long slender legs open wider, gripping her hips as he lifted her up
to his searching mouth. He engaged her with slow, maddening strokes
of his tongue. She gripped the edges of the comforter in alarm. He
toyed and teased the sensitive pink nub, scoring it with his teeth.
She turned her head aside on the pillow, unable to escape the
onslaught of lust that seared inside her.
    Waves of incredible pleasure washed
over her then. Her head tossed on the pillows as he continued his
arousing efforts. A
