She shivered slightly at such a delicious, naughty command. What if someone came through the maze on this lovely moonlight night and saw them? What would they think of her, half-naked and about to get even more naked, straddling the great Romanov general? The thought was frightening and yet exhilarating in a way that was daring, dangerous and utterly, utterly arousing.<br/><br/>"Y-you have to let me go," she whispered, her voice cracking at the thought of being nearly naked and vulnerable to this masterful man whose words and touches could make her do things that no one else could make her do.<br/><br/>Tentatively, she pried his fingers off her waist and swung her leg back over him so that she no longer straddled him. Instead she sat facing him, scooting back to lean against the other side of their little shelter. Locks of her hair were coming undone from its bun, wayward golden strands falling in sensuous tendrils over her shoulders and breasts like silky golden serpents. She gazed deep into his eyes, blue into blue, and she reached behind her to finish undoing the fastenings of her dress.<br/><br/>She looked down, incredibly aroused and self-conscious at the same time as she slithered the blue silk off her body, pulling it into a silken pool on the ground behind her. Now all that was left were the petticoats and pantaloons. She was completely bare on top, her full, pert breasts shamelessly on display. She unhooked her petticoats and slid them off her, tossing the light silk and linen to the side.<br/><br/>Finally, off came the pantaloons. She drew in a sharp breath as her bare bottom touched the grass beneath her and she felt the air swirl around her exposed womanhood with its curly golden triangle. Now, there was nothing left but the little lacy garter and silk stockings that covered her legs, and the delicate heeled slippers on her feet.<br/><br/>She raised her eyes to look at Alexei, her expression serious, shy and anxious. She wanted him to like what he saw, now that he saw everything about her.<br/><br/>"My lord?" she whispered, trembling as the cool night air perked her nipples and waved its shivering caress over her skin.
