Chapter Fourteen

"Pearl of pleasure?" The wine had relaxed her sufficiently that she laughed aloud, although a bit breathlessly, at the silly nickname. "Is that the feminine version of a lord of pleasure? If so, I am sure I was made without one."

He grinned. "I suspect you are mistaken. I remember too well how tightly you clenched when I stroked you that morning."

Her stomach tightened and went warm in reaction to a rush of memory. "The morning with the maid in the room? The morning when you continued your lovemaking as if you did not care that we had an audience?"

"Be fair. We had no audience for what I did. A simple brush of my fingers? Did it not please you, to be stroked in that place? If the maid had not been there, I know—"

"The maid was there." She closed her eyes, the embarrassment of the moment rushing through her anew.

"Believe me, Helena, if she had not been there..." He paused, glancing at her as if to judge whether his words would shock her too much to be spoken. "I could barely contain myself. I wanted to shout, I wanted to move, to thrust against you until your...pearl of pleasure...made you shout in response."

"I am grateful you did not, then." She understood how much concentration he must have exerted in order to ride through his orgasm without the usual thrusts and plunges such activity required.

"What did it feel like?" She imagined that it had been painful. Not that she was an expert. But in the past three weeks she had learned what a man did to find his pleasure with a woman. And lying quietly was not something the wicked earl did while he made love.

He threw himself flat on his back with a rushed breath of laughter. "You cannot imagine my sweet Helena. You cannot know. I cannot describe it." His arms spread wide, his fingers combing through the grass with restless strokes. "Think of it as if you were to have the most pleasurable experience and yet be able to speak of it to no one."

So it had not been painful, after all. She watched her husband through a haze of desire. She wanted him to touch her. And yet at the same time she did not.

"I cannot imagine such a thing." Though he had come close to showing her, with his words alone. Why was it that these lessons of his, seemingly so simple, bound her to him tighter and tighter with a web of desire that stole her free will? Her common sense? She wanted to give him her heart, though she knew she would regret it if she did. She wanted to give him her body, to give herself permission to feel this orgasm he spoke of. But the very core of her warned her that to do so would jeopardize her soul.

"I want to show you how such ecstasy feels." Rand watched her as closely as she watched him. Looking for her response to his words.
