Dark Passions

5.

Meredith sat in the chair he held out for her, and he poured them each a glass of wine. She sipped it slowly, contemplating the food in front of her as Derek took the chair opposite her. Her slender fingers stroked the narrow stem of the crystal wine goblet, before selecting a piece of cherry pie. Breaking the flaky pastry, she speared a plump cherry with her fork tines, and put it to her lips. She paused briefly, her lips almost kissing the sweet fruit, her tongue darting out to lick it before it slipped into her mouth. Derek almost groaned aloud as desire flooded him hotly. The blood rushed from his brain to his cock, and he willed himself to stay in his chair. He wondered briefly if she was aware of her effect on him, or if she was just teasing him on purpose.

"Will you have some as well, sir?" she asked, licking the cherry juice from her lip, the red staining her mouth invitingly.

"I am strongly tempted," he replied hotly, taking a gulp of wine.

"Perhaps you prefer something less sweet?" she asked, cutting open a slice of rhubarb and ginger pie. "Something spicier and more bold?" She dipped a finger in the spilled juice, taking it to her lips. Her tongue curled around her finger as she tasted it. "Mmm, you really should taste it, m'lord."

Lust raged in Derek like a hot flame. He was hard and hot, and the wine only increased his desire for her. Candlelight danced across her skin, shadowing her cleavage, as she tipped her head back to finish her drink.

"I have other things in mind to taste, my dear," he assured her, his voice rough. "But if you wish, you may feed me some of that." He smiled dangerously, daring her to come closer to him. Meredith paused, then picked up a piece of pie and walked around the table to lift it to his mouth. He grabbed her hand as he took the morsel of food on his tongue, holding her there. He savored the tart fruit before pulling her closer and kissing her. Swiftly, he pulled her down into his lap, not losing her lips. Her mouth opened to the soft pressure of his lips, and she tasted of sugar and fruit and ginger, and he groaned against her mouth.

Drugged with sudden need, Meredith let her delicate tongue meet his, as he took her face in his hands. She whimpered as she surrendered to him, their tongues dancing, pulses thundering. He kissed her thoroughly and passionately, until she was breathless and clinging to him. When he finally let her go, she drew back, a soft laugh escaping her. "You wish to fuck me now, your lordship?" she asked, the wine and the kisses making her bolder, aware of the effect she was having on him as well. She could feel the insistent push of his cock against her leg, demanding attention.

His palms found the swell of her breasts, cupping them in both hands, as her nipples hardened beneath his touch. "Only if you consent, my sweet girl," he said softly. "I don't scare you, do I?" His lips touched her cheek, traced her jawline, kissed her throat.

"No, sir, I'm no silly virgin, despite the impression I may have given you," she assured him. "I wouldn't be here otherwise, m'lord."

"There is nothing wrong with being here with me, like this," he assured her, feeling her relax as she gave herself up to the white hot pleasure building as he touched and kissed her. Meredith sighed, thinking if she was going to have this night with him, she was going to enjoy it. It would probably never happen again.

"I want you, all of you," Derek murmured against her lips. "Do you know how many nights I have dreamed of you like this, in my arms, and wet for my cock?"

Meredith shook her head slowly, closing her eyes. Derek stood up, carefully helping her to her feet, resting his hands on her shoulders. "Many nights you have haunted me, and this is better than I imagined it would be," he said softly, pushing the heavy dressing gown from her shoulders, letting the brocade puddle on the floor at their feet. Her eyes snapped open, and she gasped, looking at the raw desire in his eyes. Derek kissed her again, unable to resist the temptation of her sweet lips. His arms went around her, pulling her closer, molding her to him, before he picked her up and carried her to the bed.
