Page 25 of Elias
She gave a nod. She was nervous, but she could be brave. Of course he would see her naked eventually. She’d imagined it happening sooner than this if she was honest with herself.
If anyone had asked her what her expectations had been this morning before she’d left the house, she would have painted a very different picture. She’d envisioned a stern man who said very little and claimed her body with far less care and consideration than what she was experiencing.
She’d thought he would lift her skirts and take her virginity without much thought. Elias was nothing like that. And the bond between them was nothing like she’d expected.
Suddenly the layers of cotton that seemed to represent her past were whisked away, leaving her in nothing but white panties. She shuddered as he dropped the material on the floor. She would never again get up in the morning and cover herself from head to toe in the modest layers that would shield her body from everyone she encountered.
Elias swallowed as he stared at her before lifting both hands to stroke gently up her arms. “Heavens…”
Did he like what he was looking at? She couldn’t be sure her mother had been right when she’d told her she had a nicebody. Maybe it didn’t matter because Elias was wired to find her attractive no matter what.
If the intensity in his gaze was anything to go by, he was beyond pleased. He licked his lips. “I want to touch you, Leah.” His voice was gravelly, intense. “I want to spread you out on the bed and taste every inch of you. Will you let me?”
She sucked in a breath. Did she have a choice? She didn’t. Not really. Neither of them did, but she liked that he was being considerate.
Taste her? What did that mean? He was going to kiss her again? Kiss other parts of her body? She wanted that, whatever it would look like. “Please,” she whispered.
Elias squatted in front of her again and tucked his fingers into her panties. “I need to see all of you, Little one.” He lowered them down her legs until they hit the floor. After a long heartbeat, he grabbed the backs of her thighs and tugged her forward so that his nose landed on her private parts.
She squealed at the sudden movement.
Elias inhaled slowly and deeply. “Leah…” He rose, lifted her up, and deposited her on the bed. His hands went to the button on his dress pants. “Bend your knees, Baby girl, and spread your legs open for me. I want to see all of you.”
She whimpered. She felt so exposed. She’d never even had an arm or ankle exposed to a man before. Now she was naked, and her mate looked like he was going to devour her. His nostrils even flared.
She stared as he lowered his pants to the floor and removed his socks, leaving him in only tight boxer briefs. His shaft pressed against the front, making itself known. It was huge and looked rigid. The thought of spreading her legs so he could thrust that into her scared the dickens out of her.
He set a knee on the bed and climbed up. His hands came to her shins. “I won’t take my cock out yet, Baby girl. Open your legs for me.”
She had bent her knees, but she was now squeezing her thighs tightly, pulling them up toward her chest. Their combined scents filled the room. Wetness leaked from her, embarrassing her. She could smell herself. She could also smell her mate’s growing need.
Elias inched closer on his knees. He eased his hands to her thighs. “You won’t hide your body from me, Little one. I know you’re confused and scared, but I will take care of you. I promise.”
“Are you going to enter me now?”
He smiled. “Only with my tongue.”
She gasped. “With your tongue?” Oh, did he mean her mouth? He was going to kiss her again?
“Yes, Little one. I’m going to lie between your legs, lick your slit, and eat your pretty pussy. You’re going to love it.”
She shook her head. His plan sounded ludicrous. “Maybe we could just get under the covers, and you could do your thing.”
He chuckled. “No covers. I’m going to see every bit of you while I make you writhe, Leah.”
She stared at him wide-eyed as he guided her knees apart.
Holy Heavens. This was happening.
Chapter Fifteen
Elias dropped down between his mate’s legs, held her thighs open wide with his palms, and drew in a deep breath. Her scent was intoxicating. Like a drug. He needed more, and he lowered his nose into her soft curls and nuzzled her.
Leah gasped and bucked her body. If he hadn’t been holding her, she might have clocked him in the face with her pelvis. A low guttural sound escaped her lips, making his cock harder than ever.
Elias dipped his tongue between her folds, gathering her wetness and drawing it into his mouth. Heaven had nothing on his sweet mate’s pussy. Her scent and taste were driving him mad.
When he thrust his tongue into her channel, he groaned. She was so tight. He was going to need to stretch her before he would dare bring his cock near her entrance.
