Xavier Westbourne would be a gentle lover, she thought, until passion overcame him. Then perhaps the beast dwelling in all men would come alive, taking over and driving him to roughness, releasing him from control, throwing them both towards and over the edge of passionate madness. She licked her parched lips, and was rewarded with a sound emanating from deep in his throat—the sound of the beast stirring. With another shiver, a delicious spasm of expectation suffused her entire body.
“Perhaps I shall, Mr. Westbourne.”
She pitched her voice only high enough to reach him, seeing him exhale, as though he had been holding his breath.
He would be gentle until the passion came over him. Very good writing.
ReplyDeleteNice sexual tension. This is amazing writing. Magnificent work.
ReplyDeleteGreat description. She is such a tease, but what did he ask her before her reply?
ReplyDeleteOh - I like the beast! I like your writing
ReplyDeleteThank you all, and sorry for the delay in responding. We're getting ready to move, [for the eleventh time in thirteen years! :(] and will have people coming through the house tomorrow, so I'm desperately trying to clean up. (I HATE housework!)
ReplyDeleteAhh, Gayle, Claire had told Xavier, with everything she'd been through, she had learned what pleased her, and he had asked her to, in turn, teach him. So naughty... :-D
Ooh ... so what is the beast exactly? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe beast part is interesting. But then again aren't all men beasts
