Chapter 54
As they slowly moved around the room, Ehliena closed her eyes, allowing Horatio to take the lead. Within a few moments, she could hear his racing heartbeat begin to slow down as he relaxed. One of his phantom caresses floated up an arm and across her shoulders making her smile.
Horatio spun her in a slow half circle, pulling her back into his chest, taking a deep breath he concentrated for a moment, sending another caress across Ehliena’s shoulders. Holding her close, he dropped a kiss onto her shoulder where it caused the nerves to shiver slightly.
Ehliena’s eyes snapped open, the combination of kiss and caress had set her nerve endings on fire and she wondered how far Horatio was going to take it this time. Slowly he had explored her senses with thought and touch, but never pushed for anything physical, first lifting her and then relaxing her, not wanting her to pull back.
As she began thinking, a trail of soft phantom kisses moved across her shoulders, following the caress of a few moments earlier. The nerves, awakened by the caress, shuddered beneath the skin causing her to inhale sharply. The next moment, her dress began to slide from her shoulders as Horatio unzipped the back slowly, not hurrying the movement.
She wanted to turn, but Horatio prevented her, softly kissing the points of her spine between the shoulder blades and upwards. Lifting a hand, Horatio pushed her hair to one side so he could continue the kisses around her hair line to behind the ear.
Unable to resist his tenderness, she moved her head to one side and leant back, surprised by the fact that her shoulders came into contact with bare skin, not material.
How in the hell had he removed his shirt without her realising?Horatio chuckled softly, the vibration moving through her skin.
You are easy to distract… Especially when you are so relaxed…Ehliena sighed,
better not let opposing factions know that – or we’ll never be able to do any work as a diplomatic team…Horatio’s answer was another set of soft kisses, this time moving across her shoulder, while he caressed the other with a gentle touch of his fingertips. Ehliena gasped slightly,
d**n, Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between your mind touch and your hands…Good… That’s the idea…Ehliena spun around to face him about to say something, but Horatio prevented her, his lips capturing hers as soon as they were close enough. As the kiss deepened, Ehliena could feel a hand moving into her hair, the other around her waist and between the two, a caress running along her spine as an electric current passes between two points along a wire.
She couldn’t help but move closer to Horatio in reaction, one arm resting around his waist, the other on the side of his neck. Looking up, Ehliena saw a look in his eyes she had never noticed before, burning with intensity. Without warning, he picked her up and gently placed her on the bed, dropping his head to hers for another kiss.
Again she was about to speak when another phantom caress began to move along her body, beginning at her feet, light as a feather it moved upwards, over her knees, hips and waist to her heart, before continuing along her collar bones and down her arms. Ehliena shuddered, realising now where this was going but totally unafraid.
Finally she managed to get her thoughts together as Horatio slid into bed next to her and pulled the cover sheet to his waist. As his hand caught the side of her cheek and he kissed her again she ‘pathed her thought, sending a soft smile with it.
You’re not going to stop tonight are you?Horatio blushed, her question making him back off a little.
I’m sorry sweetheart, I should have asked… but if you’re feeling uncomfortable… I’ll stop…After the way you’ve set my nerves on fire? I’ll never be able to sleep…Horatio chuckled softly and tenderly began to massage her shoulders with his mind causing Ehliena to relax and feel sleepy almost immediately.
Horatio stop… As he paused Ehliena kissed him softly, tears in the corners of her eyes, knowing that he would always put her feelings before his own.
Sometimes Horatio, its ok for the man to take the lead… To show his partner what he needs…Even if she may be uncomfortable with the idea?That’s where trust comes in… I know you will never do anything to hurt me… In return I can give you what you need… Love is all about give and take Horatio – there may be times when I need something from you and you in return can help me.Horatio paused, not believing what he was hearing – it was as Joval had said – if he was true to his partner, then anything was possible. He floated a caress across Ehliena’s shoulders, seeing a smile appear on her lips. As she bit her lip, she returned with a fingertip caress of her own across his chest making him sigh.
Ehliena, I need…I know…
