The time was simply right for them to finally consummate their marriage.

Edwin flung his drawers to the side and stood there for a moment, watching her.

His body was taut and quite impressive, and his ripped chest glistened in the sunlight streaming in.

Ava’s eyes trailed down his abdomen and landed on his erect member. It bobbed between his legs, as if in anticipation of what was to come.

Her husband was just as ready as she was.

When he finally joined her on the bed, she found his warm body quite welcoming.

She enjoyed feeling his naked body against hers, as it made her feel close to him.

“You have been teasing me,” he whispered, hovering over her.

Her heart fluttered.

His eyes drifted from her face, down her body, leaving heat in their wake. He did not even have to touch her; his gaze alone awakened sensations within her that she did not know were possible.

In one swift motion, he took her hands and pinned them above her head. Ava was confused for a moment.

“Now, you must not move your hands while I pleasure you,” he said to her, before releasing her arms. “This is your punishment for teasing me.”

Ava giggled as she clasped her hands together above her head. “Is it a punishment if it will only bring me pleasure?” she asked.

Edwin narrowed his eyes at her. “Pleasure can well be used as punishment.”

“Then I simply cannot wait.”

“As you wish,” he said gruffly, before taking her lips in another searing kiss. He moaned as he tangled his hand in her hair. “I can never have enough of your lips,” he murmured.

Ava’s heart leaped with joy.

She unclasped her hands to hold his face, but he broke the kiss and gave her a reproachful look.

“Remember, your hands must remain above your head at all times,” he chided.

Ava groaned, but this time it was in frustration. She had no idea that keeping her hands above her head would be such an arduous task.

“At. All. Times.” His eyes twinkled mischievously.

Just as Ava had enjoyed teasing him, he was now taking pleasure in ensuring that she could not use her hands unless he permitted her.

“Now, where were we?” he purred as he lowered his head again.

This time, his lips did not find her mouth. Instead, they grazed her breasts. He nipped her nipple lightly, and she squirmed.

“Edwin!”

He took her left breast fully in his mouth, his tongue circling her nipple slowly, deliberately. A delicious warmth unfurled in her belly and spread to her core. But then he started sucking on her nipple while caressing her other breast.

Ava let out a loud moan and thrust her chest against his mouth and hand.

When he finally released her, her face was flushed, and a satisfied smile played on his lips. “This is only just the beginning.”

He returned his attention to her breasts, moving his mouth to the right globe while fondling the other.

That warmth bloomed in her core once again… right before he stopped abruptly and then trailed his tongue down her sternum.
