The Flowers Bloomed** (Part Three)

Annalise licked her lips in anticipation, arching her body slightly as need coursed through her, only to have Kenric walk to the end of the bed to rest his palms on the quilt beside her ankles.

Her fingers tightened their hold on the quilt as her heartbeats picked up the speed. "Kenric?"

"Ssh," he murmured, trailing his fingers over the arch of her foot. "Don't think about anything, Little Bird. Just feel." His voice was soft and sounded like a siren's call that performed its magic perfectly on her.

A streak of energy sizzled along her ankles, sending warmth into her veins and causing a soft sigh to escape her lips.

She watched with hooded eyelids as he placed a soft feathery kiss on her toes before making his way upwards. Molten sensation swirled over her, climbing up her legs, each kiss a sizzle against her skin.

She felt a sense of foreign energy trickling inside her but it felt too good for her to think too much about it. Another gasp left her lips as she squirmed, her thighs clenched as the sizzling energy crept higher.

His next kiss was on the side of her knee, his mouth trailing the embers up her thigh and at one point, the warmth finally reached her core, sliding over her slick heat and cascading a series of tremors through her limbs.

The sensations were so new for Annalise. The man was doing things to her that she never even dreamed about, and he was making her feel things that she never knew were possible to feel.

"I love the way your body responds to me," he whispered as he trailed his lips across her lower belly which caused butterflies to flutter in her stomach out of anticipation and a feeling of elation his touch was creating.

The world stopped spinning the very moment she felt his lips placing a kiss against her slick flesh before his tongue took over the job as it slid up and down, creating an inferno inside her stomach.

The pleasure mixed with excitement kept building inside her, begging to be released. She wriggled under his passionate charge as every passing second added fuel to the fire scorching inside her belly.

She was aware that she was already on the verge of falling down the high cliff and as he suddenly caught her throbbing bud between his teeth and nibbled on it slightly before attacking it with his tongue, did the work.

A powerful orgasm ripped out of her as a scream filled with pleasure and contentment left her lips, her entire body shook as the pure feeling of euphoria took over her.

She was too far gone in the feeling of elation that she couldn't even remember how to breathe properly. But then she felt a kiss on her belly, then one on her right nipple that made her shiver, and then his lips were on hers, demanding, possessing, and consuming as he kissed her deeply.

Even though the kiss was deep and full of passion, it did help her calm down and return to earth after the past few moments that she just spent flying over the clouds.

The feeling, the passion, the craziness, and the elation that she just experienced were out of the world.

She blinked her eyes to adjust them to the dimly lit room. Her eyes landed on her husband who was lying beside her with his arms wrapped around her.

"Did you enjoy it?" he asked as he looked straight into her deep ocean-blue eyes.

Redness took over her cheeks as she buried her face in the crook of his neck, too embarrassed and lost to speak.

A chuckle escaped Kenric's lips as he pulled her closer to him before placing a kiss on her temple. "I will take that as a yes."

Since now they were no longer doing those things, Annalise's brain had started functioning properly which meant that she was pretty aware of their naked bodies pressed together.

Her breasts were pressed against the side of his chest and his palms were resting on her spine. The heat that had just subsided, started soaring up all over again.

She heard him chuckle again as he whispered next to her ear, "Even though I'll love to show you more of my skills, I have a promise to keep. So let's get some sleep, for now, wife. We will play again later."

Annalise pulled her face away a little bit to look into his beautiful eyes as she mumbled the question, "Again?"

"Yeah, this ain't a one-time thing, Little Bird. There's so much more that I have to show you. But that's for later. You should sleep now." His words were soft as he pulled her to rest against his side as he shifted on the bed comfortably and wrapped his arm around her.

Annalise didn't question him anymore as a yawn made her realize that she was feeling sleepy. Letting go of her embarrassment and naughty thoughts, she relaxed in her husband's embrace and closed her eyes.

It didn't even take her five minutes to fall into a deep slumber.

*****

The cool morning breeze pulled Annalise out of the dreamland and as her eyes fluttered open, she found herself looking into a pair of beautiful glowing red eyes.

Damien.

His eyes usually looked grey which was the actual color of his eyes but there were certain moments when his orbs turned bright crimson. This was only the second time she had seen his eyes glowing like that.

She felt someone stirring beside her before the hand wrapped around her abdomen tightened. The realization of her current situation, where she was sleeping naked with Lord Kenric while Lord Damien stood right in front of her, finally dawned over her.

Not only that but her breasts were on full display for Lord Damien as the quilt had slipped down to her abdomen at some point.

She looked back at his face and found his gaze fixed on her as he whispered, "Good morning, Princess."
