Chapter 268: First Night (2)

As Leonard's kisses moved lower, tracing a path down her chest and across her stomach, Ophelia felt her anticipation build to a fever pitch.

His mouth was warm and soft against her skin, each kiss was a promise of the pleasure to come.

When he finally reached the edge of her lingerie, he paused, his eyes meeting hers in a silent question.

Ophelia nodded, her breath catching in her throat as Leonard slowly, reverently, slid the delicate fabric down her legs, leaving her completely exposed before him.

The cool air of the room contrasted with the heat of her skin, heightening her senses and making her acutely aware of every touch, every movement.

Leonard's hands were gentle but firm as they roamed over her body, exploring every curve and contour.

His touch was both comforting and exhilarating, a perfect balance of tenderness and passion.
