Madeline‘s confusion battled in her mind. She lost all ability to think when Alex’s tongue raked her nipple. She never wanted him to stop, there were too many strange sensations in her women’s core. She didn’t understand it, but he made her body writhe, but for what? She reminded herself to trust him.
Nothing hurt, in fact she wanted more, more kisses, more caresses. Shocked at how good it felt to have him suckling her breast through the thin material, she urged him on. Was it possible to enjoy her husband and this new intimacy? Her mind soared with the possibilities and the hope that surged through her. She clutched his chest as his hand moved down her side and over her belly, her legs spreading wide on their own. He caressed a spot on her woman’s part and she groaned. What was he doing? Wiggling in the chair to widen her opening, he used his thumb, brushing lightly over the spot, caressing her and she lost all senses. What was this all about? Was this what the servants talked about? Her hand clenched tight on his arm to spur him on.
She didn’t know what she was supposed to do next. His hardness pressed against her, but she didn’t care. Shocked to hear herself panting, frenzy overpowered her.
Alex could take no more. Standing her up, he unhooked her gown and let it pool on the ground. He lifted her and deposited her on the cool sheets that had already been pulled back. Carefully, he placed a pillow under her broken arm, then dropped his plaid on the floor. He moved in close, gathered her in his arms and kissed her hard, almost desperately because he wanted her so much. Wandering fingers found her wetness again and he wanted to shout with joy. Her passion overwhelmed him. She actually spread her legs for him. He moved on top of her, lifted her hips and started to thrust inside of her.
Maddie fell apart. As soon as his hardness breached her entrance, she panicked. Pummeling his chest, she yelled, “Stop, Alex, stop! Nay!” She clamped her legs together and jumped out of bed, hurtling herself across the room.
Alex rolled over onto his back and groaned. He stared at the ceiling for a minute to try to regain his control. He glanced at his wife cowering over by the hearth, fear and shame evident in her eyes, her entire body trembling.
Alex didn’t know what to do. “Maddie, did I hurt you?”
“Nay!” She was crying now.
“Do you trust me?” he asked quietly as he stared at the ceiling.
“Aye,” she whispered as she tried to cover her body.
“Then, come back to me, wife. I will not hurt you.”
It was a long minute before Maddie returned to the side of the bed.
“You will be on top,” he said as he lifted her on top of the length of his body. Tears still stained her cheeks, but she did not fight him. She swiped them off her face with determination.
“I want you on top so you know you can leave anytime. The choice is yours. Mayhap having you underneath me is what frightens you so. I will never force you, lass. You always have the right to refuse me and take yourself away. You need to believe in me.” Alex caressed her neck as he spoke, then ran his hands down the soft skin of her back to her bottom, feathering her soft mounds. His arousal grew in response.
They positioned her arm and he arranged her as best he could to make her comfortable without hurting his erection.
“Lass, you need to trust me,” he said softly as he kissed her brow.
“I know, I am sorry, Alex. I do not know what makes me do such things.”
Alex thought hard before he made his next move, but decided finally that it was the only way. Taking her nipple in his mouth, he suckled her while he slipped his fingers along her opening, caressing the very heat of her to gauge her response. She was still wet and her soft moan indicated she still desired him. Softly grasping her hips, and with a shift of his pelvis, he easily thrust inside her. He didn’t think it would hurt her.
“Nay, Alex, nay!” she screamed. She pushed against him hard.
He held her hips gently in place, trying to let her get used to his invasion.
“Maddie, stop! I will not hurt you. I love you. Please, I do not know what else to do. I have tried everything!”
Maddie stopped struggling when she heard his declaration of love.
“Do you trust me lass?” he whispered. He still held himself buried deep inside her.
“Aye,” she nodded.
“Then stay where you are for five minutes, I promise not to move. If you do not want me at the end of five minutes, we will stop, and I will not touch you again tonight. You need to see that this will not hurt. You are no longer a maiden, your juices are slick and will prevent any pain, sweetings. Can you do this for your husband?”
Maddie peered at him and slowly nodded her head. She then put her head down on his chest. He stroked her back and she started to relax a little. Five minutes, she thought. I only need to do this for five minutes.
