Thanks for the reviews!
Charles turned the key and quickly pushed the door open, pulling Elsie along with him. She could feel the excitement thrumming through his hand and into hers. There was little furniture and dust had settled around, but she was already picturing how they should arrange everything, how far the settee should sit from the fireplace, a small table and chairs in the kitchen where they could sit with friends, or have intimate dinners.
He led her to the tidy little kitchen and she stood at the sink, peering out the window into their backyard. Trees provided a natural barrier of privacy and an overgrown garden took residence just back from the cottage.
"It's wonderful Charles, everything I could hope for."
He stood behind her, she felt strong arms wrap around her as he placed a kiss in her hair. Leaning into the embrace she looked outside and could just see Charles barefoot, sleeves rolled up mucking around in the dirt to get their garden ready. She let out a giggle at the thought and couldn't believe how giddy she felt. She hadn't felt this much pure joy since she was just a lass.
Charles heard her giggle and smiled, so glad this beautiful woman was safe and happy in his arms. He breathed in her scent, lavender, soap and something else that was entirely her own.
"Shall I tell Mr. Gifford we'll take it then?"
Elsie felt his warmth as he was pressed against her back and felt a pang of desire for her man; he'd done so much in just a few days.
He felt her move and loosened his arms around her; she turned in his embrace and pressed against him once more. She reached for him then, her hands caressing the back of his neck, fingers running through his hair.
"Well I'd say I'm almost convinced."
They were so close, Charles let his eyes roam over her face, taking in every detail of her in that moment.
"Almost?" He brought a hand to caress her cheek as he spoke the word.
Her eyes closed for a moment at the pleasure of his touch.
"Mmmm, yes. I don't believe you've quite completed your tour yet Mr. Carson."
She placed her hand over his, slowly removing it from her cheek and placing it firmly on her hip. As she leaned forward his fingers slid along her softness and began lightly caressing her backside. She pressed a kiss to his lips and trailed swiftly along his jaw. Fingers caressed his neck, stroking over his pulse point, delighting in the life coursing through. Her lips followed and her tongue came soon after, tasting the salt of his perspiration. She desperately wanted more. "The bedroom, show me the bedroom."
Charles heard her demand but his legs had gone numb, the sensations she was creating taking over his body. When he felt her begin to suck his neck, a deep groan escaped him. He struggled to keep control.
"Just this way Mrs. Hughes, just this way."
I think I'm getting back into the swing of it, but let me know if you have any suggestions or criticisms over how this is progressing.
Thanks very much for reading!
