“I love you,” he whispered in her ear, and laid a trail of soft, open-mouthed kisses down her neck.
“I love you, too. I never knew life could be so wonderful, Seger. Make love to me.”
He grinned and nuzzled her nose. “I will fulfill your every desire, my lady. Where would you like me to begin?”
Clara smiled in return. “Wherever you wish. You always seem to know what I want before I know it myself.” She lifted her head off the pillow and kissed his open mouth, then relaxed as his lips made their way down her neck to the open collar of her nightgown. Gooseflesh shimmied down her spine. He slid his warm hand inside and Clara sighed with enchantment.
“What did I ever do to deserve you?” he asked, sliding her nightgown up, and cupping her behind in his hand. “You have given me such pleasure.”
“More than just pleasure, I hope.”
“Much more.” He positioned himself above her and paused.
“I want all of you,” she said.
His voice was laced with seductive teasing. “You’re sure?”
“Yes.”
He kissed her on the nose in the flickering candlelight. “Positively sure?”
Her head came off the pillow as her body trembled with need. “Yes!” she cried out, laughing.
Seger smiled. “Then you may have all of me, my love, for the rest of my days and beyond. Thank you for giving me back my life.”
Then slowly, very slowly, he pushed into her until she quivered all over with ecstasy.
