Alexei could feel his breath quicken as each knew inch of flesh was revealed to his hungry gaze. He hadn't wanted to let go of her, but it was so worth the test. Now he was even more sure of his command to do away with her corsets and undergarments. Hell, he would burn them himself if he had to. Moving onto his hands and knees, he could see that she was unsure. His silence during his own battle had given her cause for concern. Leaning forward, he wrapped one arm around her bare waist.<br/><br/>"My name is Alexei....and *you* are a goddess," he rasped, lifting her as he braced his free hand against the ground. Suddenly, he scooted her back so that her bare rump rested on her discarded clothing. Ducking his head, he began to nip at her jaw. "I must confess, I have never seen one so beautiful as you," he whispered, his kisses moving along her jaw, and down her throat. "I will not lie to you and say that I am not thinking of filling you with my cock this very second. But you deserve better than a quick fuck in the garden. You should be made love to...all night long by your very happy husband." Pulling his head back briefly, he met her gaze, giving her a genuine smile. "But that does not mean that I cannot give you an enjoyable taste of things to come." His smile turned mischevious as he duxcked his head, immediately pressing his lips to her flat stomach, his tongue circling her navel before beginning to slide lower. Wordlessly, his arms wrapped around her thighs, encouraging her to hold them open wider for him. He might not take her tonight, but he wanted to feast on this heaven.
