So Far From I Expected

25

We looked at each other. I watched him look me up and down before he met my eyes again. We stared at each other for a long time before he c****d his head to the side and smiled broadly at me. My eyes never left his face, I was afraid to look anywhere else.

‘You’ve never seen a naked man before have you?’ he asked, clearly amused. I could feel myself blush and looked at the floor. ‘I, well no. No I haven’t.’ I noticed my hands moving instinctively to cover myself in my embarrassment. ‘No, Caireann don’t cover yourself. You are the most beautiful creature. It’s OK.’

He walked towards me and lifted my chin; he leant in and kissed me softly before wrapping his arms around my back and pulling me close to him. My n***es grazed his chest and I felt his erection against my stomach. My breath caught in my throat and the throbbing between my legs became deeper.

His fingers ran over my bottom and hips as our kisses quickened and his tongue’s urgency made me moan softly. My hands were rested on his waist, my fingers digging in wanting him to help me with the ache growing inside me.

He scooped me up and lowered me gently into the bath water. It was hot and enveloped me, my swollen breasts sensitive to the water that lapped over me, the scent of lily overtaking my senses as Theodore climbed in behind me.

I sank lower in the water, my head resting on his chest while his hands ran over my breasts and down my stomach. My insides tightened as his fingers tangled in my curls, circling me gently, my back arching against him. He was squeezing my n****e softly as his fingers continued their gentle massage.

Theodore nibbled gently on my neck, goose bumps enveloped my body and the pull between my legs deepened and I felt myself tighten, my breathing was fast and deep and my body began to shake. ‘Let go beautiful.’ The pressure of his fingers increased as sensation began to take over, my back arched against him and a cry of pleasure escaped me.

I called his name and my body collapsed against him trembling with residual pleasure and panic. I was naked, in a bathtub with a beautiful man; and I loved it.

‘Are you alright Caireann?’ his voice was a whisper, and nervous. I nodded my head against his chest and smiled as I slinked under the water. I emerged to see him looking at me quizzically and began to laugh. ‘I am great Theodore! How could I be anything but?’

He smiled and kissed me gently before climbing out of the bath and wrapping himself in a bath sheet. He washed my hair and took his razor from the sink to rid me of the hair under my arms and from my legs. He was gentle and careful not to cut me or to get water in my eyes. He scooped me out of the water like a child and wrapped my head in towels and my body in a robe.

We walked together into his bedroom and I noticed my dress had been removed, as had his blazer and shirt. ‘Someone’s tidied up; Sinead must be with your Momma and Grandma. I suppose I need to give you up now too and let her work her magic with you.

We walked through the library and into the great room where Sinead and another young girl sat at the table chatting animatedly. They jumped up and greeted us with smiles before Theodore excused himself and we made our way into ‘my’ bedroom. I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves. I didn’t want to get dressed and go to the ball anymore, I wanted to go to bed with Theodore, f**k the consequences.
