Chapter 43 : Ophelia's Fate

Arthur touched my cheek gently, pulling strands of hair away from my face. He was close to my face, our bodies resting against each other.

"I want you, Ophelia," he said. I gazed into his piercing eyes and could see love in them.

"Don't leave me," I begged. His hands brushed over my bare skin and sent shivers through my body.

"You are mine forever and I am forever yours," Arthur said. My heart was racing. I had been yearning to hear him say these words. Did he mean them?

Before I could ask him, he slid closer, kissing me tenderly. I kissed him back, welcoming his mouth to me.

Moving away from me, he caressed his fingertips on my full breasts. Delicately, he teased my nipples until they were erect. He fluttered his hands over my ribs, down the middle of my stomach, and then between my legs.
