With trembling fingers she began to untie his cravat, then unbutton his vest and shirt. Hugo groaned into her mouth as her fingertips met the bare flesh of his torso, and he shrugged his shoulders to help get the fabric down to his elbows. It was only then that he released her hair, and the quickly shed his own clothes.

Not a second passed before he was reaching for her again, turning her in his arms and kissing the back of her neck as he began to untie the stays of her dress and corset.

Although their undressing was hurried, Seraphina noted the more intimate care Hugo was taking compared to the last time he undressed her. There was no tearing of clothes, no bestial growls of need pouring from his chest- not that she’d minded him.

“I’ve missed you,” Seraphina whispered against Hugo’s lips as he picked her up, both of them naked.

“Oh, Seraphina,” he rasped, carrying her to the bed. “I’ve missed you so much.”

She gave him a sultry smile as he laid her head gently among the pillows, and she dug her nails lightly into his shoulder blades.

“Show me,” she breathed.

Anticipation sizzled in her veins as she saw the vivid green in Hugo’s eyes being eaten away by his pupils, and she shivered when that wolfish, handsome smile finally reappeared on his lips.

He gripped a fistful of her hair, forcing her neck to the side as he leaned down to whisper in her ear.

“And so I will, my little lamb.” Then nipped ever so playfully at her lobe.

Pleasure rippled through her, ebbing until it met in a culmination at her sex as Hugo began to possessively claim her neck with his mouth and teeth. He didn’t just kiss her. He lapped at her, bit her, marking every inch of flesh as his own. Seraphina whimpered at the onslaught as her body began to undulate beneath him; her spine arching; feet pressing into the soft bed as her hands ran over his back and hair. She wanted him close. She wanted himinside.

Hugo’s moan of pleasure was pure magic as she reached in between them and traced a finger over his already rigid manhood, and even that small touch had her juices trickling between her thighs. She moved to do it again, then whimpered in protest as Hugo gripped both her wrists and pinned them above her head.

“Not yet little lamb,” he teased, his tone purely wicked with mirth. “Not until I have tasted your release on my tongue at least three times.”

“Three?” She exclaimed, but the word melted into a moan as he clamped his mouth over her right breast, and viciously teased her nipple with his tongue.

“Three,” he confirmed, giving her now taut nipple a playful nip.

“And you are going to tell me how to do it.”

Seraphina blushed deeply, the crimson red spreading from her cheeks all the way down to her breasts.

“I- I cannot,” she breathed.

Hugo’s gaze grew hungrier as he watched squirm and blush.

“You can, little lamb.” he rasped, dipping his head to her left breast. “And you will.”

He paused his mouth just a breath before her nipple. Even his soft breath against the sensitive flesh was enough to make it grow taut and throb.

“Now, what do you want me to do?”

Seraphina whimpered, unsure if she had the courage to do what he requested.

“If you cannot think of what you might want from me, then request what youknowI want to do to you,” he instructed, his deep voice sending another gush of slickness between her legs.

Boldness ate away at her hesitation, and she gave a seductive smirk of her own.

“I want you to taste my nipple. Swirl your tongue around it until it is a tight bud and you have me trembling. Then I wantyou to bite. Softly. Briefly. Before you pull it into your mouth completely to suckle.”

Arousal gushed from Hugo’s eyes as Seraphina spoke the words.

“Ohhh,very good, little lamb,” he praised, flicking the tip of his nose against her nipple, “That isexactlywhat I wanted.”

Hugo then dipped his head to do as he was told. Seraphina moaned deeply as he followed her instructions to aT.Even then, just from that, she felt her orgasm begin to build.

“Again,” she breathed when he pulled his head up, “But the other side.”
