Seeing her splinter tore at his control. She was the most beautiful creature he’d seen. Withdrawing his hand from her core, he held her for a few minutes until her body stopped trembling, allowing his body to come back under control too.

 

The warm tender sensation returned, urging him to hold onto Kasie and keep her close. At the same time he remembered the last time he’d given free rein to such emotion. He’d lost out. He wasn’t going to let that happen again.

He held her in place, pulling her closer, her pliant body against his solid bulk. His desire grew with each pump of his heart. The evidence of his arousal pulsed, pushing against his clothes.

He rocked into her, wanting her to feel his craving, his strength, his determination...her effect on him.

A sound like a soft sob escaped her lips. He put his hand into her hair and unpinned the tight bun. Her loose black hair cascaded down her back though his fingers.

“Kasie, kiss me,” he groaned out, commanding her to do what he felt she already wanted to do.

He ached for his wife. He longed to go to her as she stood drying her body. He wanted to taste her sweet lips, feel her softness against his skin and sink into her warm depths again and again and again. Yet he didn’t move, but stood there watching her get dressed while he wanted to undress her.

This was madness.

If his friends saw him, they would laugh at him. What man ached for his wife and yet did nothing about it?
