"You say you love watching and feelingback around to the keyboard She nodded, clearly breathless fro to adore this"

He touched a finger to one ivory key, then tapped it with a firm stroke

"Oh" Her hand went to her throat "Oh, ht hand, skipping up and down the high range of the keyboard

"Julian," she said in a shocked tone, her cheeks flushing with color "The vibrations, they’re … You were right This is wicked indeed"

"Shall I stop?" He held up his hands

"Heavens, no"

He teased her a bit longer, with light, discordant scales Just as he would trace tantalizing caresses up and down her bared thighs She closed her eyes, and her lips fell apart A husky h with the études and foreplay

He put both hands to the keyboard and coaxed from it a full-bodied, if ill-tuned piece ofmelody

"Oh" She squirmed atop the pianoforte "Oh, Julian Is that … Is that our waltz?"

God, how he loved her He nodded in affirmation "It is indeed our waltz And this"--he paused--"is our country dance" He gave her no tiorous, pounding rhythht "Have hed Her throat and chest were blushed cri against the bodice of her dress "I can’t take anymore Julian, do stop, or I shall speak of plaster"

"Brace yourself, my dear wife That was just the prelude"

"Why not here? It’s our house"

"No, it isn’t"

"Oh Did you prefer one of the other hoarter loose, then deftly rolled the stocking down her leg

"No, you impossible man You knoant this house, but--"

He shucked her other slipper It hit the floor with a softly echoing thud Then he ceased his attentions,his whole body to communication "You want this house, and you shall have it I want you, and I shall have you Right here Right now There will be no further discussion"

Then he went back to re free of its delicate silk sheath Once he’d pulled the gar toes, he kissed his way up her leg, tracing every sue As he reached the quivering slope of her inner thigh, her foot slipped to the keyboard in disharainst her skin He picked up her foot and braced it on his shoulder Pushing aside the white, gauzy folds of her chemise and petticoat, he bared her most intimate places to his view The petals of her sex were flushed deep red and deith exciteht alone drove hi to taste her directly, he schooled hi path up her inner thigh, giving her tirow accustomed to the idea Even so, her hips bucked with surprise when he ue
