Chapter 14
He didn't want to put her down. They were both soaked to the skin, hair dripping, water running onto her floor, and still he did not want to put Matilda down. She smelled fresh and clean and sexy. She was warm and light, and he could feel her heartbeat, as if it beat inside him.
No matter what it took, he would keep her. He would never let her go.
She kissed his neck and burrowed against him, her wet blouse sticking to his soaked shirt. Then she stopped, lifting her head so she could look into his face. He saw, in that instant, that she meant what she'd said. She loved him. He didn't know what he felt for her, only that it was powerful and good. And overwhelming.
"Would you put me down?" she asked. "I'd like to try something."
He reluctantly put her on her feet, giving her one last kiss before she stepped away.
"Sit down," she said, backing into the kitchen. "I have something for you to take."
He shook his head and began to follow her. "Not another potion. Matilda, I don't need..."
She lifted her hand to stop him. "Do you trust me?"
"Completely." It was the truth, one that scared him a little. He'd never trusted anyone so completely.
"Then sit."
He did as she asked, and watched her disappear into her small kitchen. She was soaked to the skin, barefoot, and her hair had once again been plaited into childish pigtails. And still she was the sexiest sight he'd ever seen. He didn't need any lust potion. If he were any readier, he might ignite.
She returned minutes later, a cup and spoon in her hands. She sat on his knee and spooned up a small portion of her latest concoction.
"I really don't..." he began.
"A small taste," she whispered.
After the last time, he'd assumed she would want this coming together without any aphrodisiac in their blood, without any aid churning their emotions to a fevered pitch. Hadn't she insisted? And yet right now she looked almost eager for him to take the spoonful of liquid she offered. He opened his mouth and she spooned the sweet liquid onto his tongue.
And then she watched.
"What about you?" he asked, taking the spoon from her and dipping it into the syrupy potion. "Just a taste?"
Matilda opened her mouth and allowed him to dribble a small amount onto her tongue. Just a few honeyed drops. Her mouth closed slowly, then she took the cup and spoon from him and set them on the table.
"Now do what we did before," she whispered. "The first time. Just look at me, and let me look at you."
He'd never thought simply watching a woman could be so arousing, until he'd met Matilda. How often was a man allowed to look his fill, to stare unabashed, to watch and allow his fantasies to run wild? Perched on his wet knee, she began to undo her braids, to slowly loosen the wet strands and run her fingers through the dampened, golden hair.
