A Scandalous Portrait (The Rose Room Rogues #1) - Callie Hutton Page 0,52
warm breath raising small bumps on her skin.
“I need more.” She barely got the words out.
Almost as an apology, he murmured, “Ah, of course you do.” He continued to taunt her nipples with his tongue as his hand skimmed down her body, increasing the tension in her middle.
Eventually, his fingers slid between her legs, and she immediately felt the need for release grow. “Please, Hunt.”
His thumb circled a small nubbin at the opening to her core. She sucked in a deep breath as her muscles grew tighter. He kept it up for a few minutes while kissing her, murmuring words she didn’t even understand in her ear until she couldn’t stand it anymore. “Harder.”
Hunt returned to her breast to tease it once more as his fingers worked frantically to bring her release. His thumb continued to circle the piece of flesh while his finger slid into her opening.
Her body bucked as she threw her head back and called his name, over and over. “Yes. Please. Yes. Don’t stop.”
“Oh, I won’t sweetheart. Take your time, I will be here to catch you.”
Waves of pleasure washed over her as she pressed hard against Hunt’s hand, and the throbbing continued. With a deep breath, she collapsed onto the bed, a soft smile on her face.
Grandmama was correct.
“I loved watching you,” Hunt said as he continued to play with the area between her legs. He pushed a second finger into her opening. “You are so warm, tight, and wet.”
Diana panted her words. “I assume that’s good?”
“Oh, yes, my love. Very, very good.”
Feeling daring, Diana reached down and cupped Hunt’s throbbing member. It felt strange. Steel covered with satin. She squeezed, and he grunted.
She pulled her hand back. “Does that hurt?”
“No.” The word came out as a groan. “It feels wonderful, but it’s bringing me closer.”
She knew from Grandmama’s conversations that he meant it was time for him to insert himself into her body. She did not believe for one minute it was going to be an easy job for him to do. He was so large.
She took a deep breath, stiffened her body, fisted her hands by her side, pinched her eyes closed and said, “I’m ready.”
After a few seconds, Hunt burst out laughing. “Oh, my love, you were very, very ready a little bit ago, but now you look as though you are waiting for the executioner.”
He returned to her mouth and began the process all over again. Kissing, nipping, sucking, nibbling, until she couldn’t think straight. Her body relaxed, and she felt the build up once again between her legs. Just as the thought crossed her mind that now was a good time for Hunt to try the impossible, he spread her legs wide and began to edge his way inside. “Relax, sweetheart. Stop thinking.”
She opened her mouth to respond just as he thrust forward. A slight pinch caused her to cry out, but otherwise, she only felt full. Hunt remained still and brushed the hair from her forehead. “Are you well?”
Diana squeezed her inner muscles, and Hunt groaned again. “Yes, I think I am well.”
“Thank God.” He slid back out and then in again, eventually developing a rhythm that she followed.
“Wrap your legs around me,” he said right before he took her mouth in a kiss that brought on another wave of pleasure just as Hunt gave one final push and moaned her name.
She could feel the warmth from his seed entering her as she again sunk into a heap.
Her body was slick with sweat, and she had a devil of a time breathing. After a few minutes, Hunt rolled onto his back and pulled her against him. “I will get up to help you clean up. I just need a minute.” Their combined pants filled the room, along with the scent of love-making.
After her heartbeat slowed and they had both regained their breath, Hunt turned to her, pushing the damp strands of hair from her forehead. “Wife of mine, I must say I have never before laughed in the middle of sexual activity.”
She looked up at him and frowned. “Is that good or bad?”

Hunt smiled down at his wife as the carriage left the Gainsborough Bath Spa to take them to the train station for their trip back to London. They’d spent a full week partaking of the waters, strolling the charming town, eating at various and well-known restaurants, visiting museums and theaters, and best of all, making love a few times a day.
