Chapter 215: Watching The Stars** (Part Two)

Before Valerius could have gotten the chance of asking what new plan his beautiful wife had come up with, he was surprised by a sweet kiss from his woman.

Her lips were chilled by the cool night air but her mouth was warm and sweet which made him pull her deeper into the kiss as he pushed his fingers into her long curls, catching a hint of her fragrant body soap.

"This was... pretty unexpected..." he said when they finally pulled apart after the intense kiss that lasted for a while. His gaze landed on his wife’s swollen lips and it took every ounce of his willpower not to kiss her again.

Instead of replying to his comment, Annalise licked her lips before she kissed him again. Her arms went to wrap around his neck while she draped one of her legs over his lap to straddle him.

Unlike before, Valerius was prepared this time and as soon as their lips met in another passionate kiss, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer in his embrace.

He allowed her to lead the kiss as she explored his mouth, the familiar taste of his tongue, and nibbled on his lips. The intense kissing went on until she was literally out of breath and had to pull away once again to catch some much-needed breath.

Valerius trailed kisses from her neck to her collarbone and felt her shiver against him as she tilted her head to the back, giving him more room to press kisses. He couldn’t help but smile, pleased at her responses.

He pulled away to look into her eyes with a wide smile on his lips as he admitted - "You never fail to surprise me, love. You keep doing things when I’m least expecting them."

Annalise tilted her head to the side as she asked, "Is that a good or bad thing?" She seemed really curious about his answer.

The smile on his lips broadened as he nodded his head slightly and answered, "Absolutely a good thing. This is one of the many things that makes me love you."

His gaze peered through her, taking her in for a couple of sweet but long moments before he leaned over and took her chin in his hand, pressing his lips to hers in another kiss but this time, he was the one leading it.

Despite his ice, his lips were warm against hers, soft and they moved with precision. He didn’t kiss her fiercely, instead, he took his time as his lips moved slowly against hers.

His hand slipped past her throat and to the back of her neck, pulling her closer into the kiss. His actions made her open her lips and exhale which gave him the perfect chance to slip his tongue inside her mouth.

Very slowly, Annalise moved her fingers to his shirt and she wound them in the fabric for grounding.

His simple kiss was enough to make desire swirl deep inside her. A simple but amazing kiss that left her wanting more from him.

Their bond fluttered with love and life, allowing her a glimpse at his thoughts. She was important to him and so was their sweet moment together. He loved every second that he spent with her.

Annalise liked the way his hands felt on her body which made her want to get rid of the dress and feel his cold fingers against her bare skin. She allowed her body to sink into his arms which resulted in a brush between her core and bulge, causing a groan to slip through her lips and a rumble of desire in his chest.

His fingers trailed from her neck to her throat as she felt him working on her cloak which was soon sliding down her shoulders. His hands were soon trailing down her exposed collar and then down her sides, causing an electric thrill to erupt across every inch of her skin.

Valerius’ eyes brightened with her intensity but he was far from giving in to the desire that was thriving inside him. He was in the mood of taking things slow this fateful night.

His hands moved to her thighs, pushing at the hem of her nightgown that had risen up as she sat straddling him. The coldness of his fingers against her thighs sent shivers running all over her thighs that headed straight to her aching core.

He moved slightly which resulted in another brush of his hardness against her core and this time, she was also unable to hold back her gasp along with his soft groan.

Unconsciously, Annalise shifted on his lap, trying to find a comfortable position but the opposite happened as she felt him growing larger and harder beneath her.

"You are so hard." She blurted out without thinking and immediately felt her cheeks turning bright red at the realization of what she had just spoken out loudly.

"Thanks to you, my dear wife." He responded while brushing a few curls of her loose hair over her shoulder that caused her outer robe to slip down, leaving it exposed to the chilly night air.

He raised his hand and rubbed his thumb over her bottom lip as he continued, "How can I not when I have such a beautiful and sexy wife whose every touch sent me over the edge? When she sits on my lap and kisses me like she’s hungry for just me?"

Annalise took in a deep breath as she heard his words, something warm and hot building inside her as she asked, "Do you get excited when I take the initiative?"

His eyes stared right into hers as he whispered his response, "You have no idea, love." And then, his mouth was on hers all over again while his fingers grazed the underside of her right breast, causing her to shiver against him.

His thumb brushed over her nipple, slowly savoring the moment as he enjoyed every gasp and moan that slipped past her lips due to his fingers doing despicable things to her body.
