He pushed her body onto the mattress, "darling" rolling off his tongue and coating her body with constant repetition.
Her back arching and her eyes rolling into her scalp as his mouth drank her breasts and his hands ripped and pulled at her skirts.
"Please..." The word rung over and over again in the air as his fingers finally reached their destination and began exploring. He paused and she reacted, sitting up and wrapping his mouth against hers, hands mapping his hair and trailing the contours of his chest.
"I must have more of you," He heaved in between their passion, grappling with her thigh and with her final consent he broke the barrier, filling her deeply and completely as her eyes widened in shock.
The window was open, the sun streaming in and the sheets tangled and webbed about the bed. It was almost as if it hadn't been a dream at all but Mina knew better.
This wasn't the first encounter with her fiancé's employer, every night for the past week the dream went further and further, willingly taking Mina on all sorts of escapades with her charming American. Except he wasn't hers.
Not only were the dreams getting more vivid but more intense and Mina often found herself gasping for breath each new morning, it mades planning the wedding all the more difficult.
It wasn't just because she was tired but because often her dreams would approach in the daytime, clouding her mind as his mouth grazed along her thighs before settling itself between-
"Mina!"
And then the real world would appear, along with seating arrangements, napkin varieties, dress fittings, sending invites and cake tasting.
Mina sat before the blisteringly fierce face of Lucy and several varying fabrics for veils. She smiled and shook her head as Lucy folded her arms, "Really Mina, what's wrong with you today? Or have you just lost interest in marrying Harker altogether?"
"I'm sorry Lucy, just a bit tired I suppose. I've not been sleeping well these past few weeks."
Lucy laughed, attempting to cover her pain, "It's just the anticipation darling! Wedding jitters as they say. Your just anxious to see him and for him to...see you" she stopped and swallowed, this had clearly been too much too soon.
Lucy glanced at her watch before hastily grabbing her things, "Mina dear, I'm ever so sorry but I promised Mr. Townscliff that I'd meet him for lunch at the Savoy at 2.00. I must have lost track of time, I'm already late! Oh do forgive me Mina but I must dash."
And after briefly kissing her friend on the cheek, Lucy left through the polished oak doors with several pairs of eyes wandering after her. Mina sighed and turned towards the tailor, selecting a plain fabric with small lace flowers knotted between the white tule.
"A lovely choice Madam," Smiled the tailor as he swept the veil away along with her measurements.
"Couldn't have put it better myself." Mina turned from the table towards that same dark husky voice she'd dreamt of the night before.
He was just as handsome as in her visions, his hair slicked back, eyes blazing and that small upturn of the right side of his mouth in preparation for that delicious smile.
"Mr. Greyson," Mina bobbed her head as he reached for her hand.
"Alexander, please." His lips lingering on her glove as she could almost feel the print sizzling through the cloth and burning her skin. He straightened up before offer his arm, she smiled and took it, signaling goodbye to the tailor before leaving the shop.
"What brings a lady out alone to shop for her own wedding, it seems hardly appropriate for such a beauty."
She laughed and turned away slightly to hide her blush, "surly you understand it's equally inappropriate for a future husbands employer to flatter his intended." She teased, looking at him cheekily "In any case, I was here with Lucy but she abandoned me for a lunch date."
"Ah, so it seems you are left to lunch alone."
"Well, you could always join me?" Mina's heart began to speed up and her heart leapt into her throat, what on earth was she thinking?
"My apologies Miss Murray, I'm needed at my home for another test of the electro magnetic operating system." He stopped suddenly and gazed at her, "Perhaps we could have afternoon tea afterwards, if you would care to join me?" His smile melted Mina into his carriage.
Mina sat before Alexander as his staff plated up scones and tea on the coffee table between them. It was the only boundary between them, like a visible reminder of the unseen forces that kept them apart. But despite being promised to another and her assumption of Greyson's lack of interest, she couldn't soothe the need to touch him. Her arms ached to slide around his neck while her fingers would tear at his hair he their mouths clashed together. All this building up in her mind, Mina barely noticed Alexander's voice.
"Miss Murray?" He stared at her, "You haven't touched your food, nothing's the matter I hope? Harker isn't still bothering you?"
Mina smiled at the kind gesture, "I'm sorry Mr- Alexander. It's just that I've been rather tired lately." She said as she raised her teacup to her lips.
"Enjoying some nocturnal activity?" He asked as her eyes widened and she began coughing into her cup as she struggled to swallow both the tea and his comment. After a moment, she recovered herself and looked alarmingly at a very amused Alexander.
"I was simply referring to your previous escapades with Miss Westenra." He smiled and she scowled mockingly back at him. "So if not that, then what troubles you in your sleep?"
Mina's head was buzzing, her heart racing and her cheeks flaming at his question, she opened her mouth only to shakily stutter, "You see... I've been having these...dreams.." the moment the words left her mouth she cursed herself, shaking her head and looking towards the ground.
"Please, go on." His rich and velvety voice drew her face from the ground until their eyes met and their gazes locked on one another.
"At night, I'm often restless in my sleep...but lately, the dreams I've been having are so...intoxicating and I wake with the sheets a mess and my mind dazed."
"And what occupies your mind?" Their eyes still fixed in place, holding each other with gentle passion as though the moment may shatter into a thousand pieces.
"A man... I never see him clearly... he coaxes me to bed and whispers my name as he loves me...he sends me into heaven with his passion.. with his tounge..." She inhaled sharply as her eyes shut and she shook her head, "I should not be telling you of all people-"
"Why?" He asked, getting up from his seat and staring into the fireplace as his guest attempted to regain her composure.
"It's unladylike, it's impolite and it's vulgar talk from an engaged woman whose fiancé-"
"But why especially shouldn't you tell me?" He interrupted her as he turned to face her and strode over to her chair, putting a single fingertip under her chin to lift her face to his gaze. "Is it because of this?" he whispered as he bent down to kiss the corner of her mouth and instantly her eyes slid shut. "Or this?", he hovered over her jaw before trailing kisses down her neck, she felt goosebumps line her skin as he reached the meeting of her bust and her dress.
This time she felt a surge of courage and pulled his lips to hers as their mouths worshiped each other, saying more than their words ever could as tounges intertwined and groans mixed in with sighs of the relief at their shared admission.
As Alexander began to pull away, she followed him, grasping his neck and pulling herself up from the chair as he swept her legs up into his arms. He finally parted his lips from hers as they both smiled.
"Shall we continue this upstairs?" He growled, his lips reaching her neck again as her head flew back with a prolonged groan. He relented for a moment as their noses touched. "Is that a yes?"
