Pavel bit the inside of his cheek, trying to keep the groan from erupting up from his chest. His shaft was throbbing, and each movement of her body against his drove him closer and closer to his breaking point. But it wasn't the motions of their bodies that broke him, it was her words. To know the woman he loved infinately, was just as lost under his touch as he was hers. Reaching forward, he gripped her hand tightly, wordlessly dragging her down the hall toward their rooms. The second the door closed, he stepped forward, kissing the back of her neck as nimble fingers took care of the buttons on her dress.<br/><br/>Standing behind her as the cloth dropped from her body, his smile turned almost feral. Had he known she was bare under her skirts, he might have had a little fun on the way to the docks.<br/><br/>"You take my breath away," he rasped, undoing the fastening of his trousers, but not pulling them down yet. His love did so enjoy unwrapping her gifts.
