The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

330

In the morning,

Ruby Jane woke up at her regular time. She found herself holding Lisa's hand and hugging his forearm in sleep. And her husband was sleeping peacefully on the next pillow. It had been many days since they slept on different pillows. She was so used to his arms around her and waking up to his masculine scent and the warmth.

Propping her head on her hand, she silently watched her husband. She knew not just her, he was worried too. He rather prefers her to stay safe in the home than going out, looking for trouble. Yet, he convinces himself only for her. She continued to watch stealing some kisses.

Lisa took a deep long breath and she understood he was waking up. She waited to see if he would go back to sleep, look for her or wake up straight.. His lips tempting arced, making her think why he might be smiling? Morning dreams?

She whispered, going closer to his ear, "What are you dreaming of, Doctor Manoban?"

Suddenly his arms wrapped around her waist and she ended up on top of him. Then she was surprised when he did nothing. But it was more like an invite for her to be mischievous.

'I am not falling for it.' She knew he could shift the trouble maker title to her and say, 'You started it.' When he was the one asking for it.

Lisa was waiting, waiting, and waiting, but she stayed frozen without movements. Her head wasn't resting on him to think she dozed off so he couldn't understand what she was up to. And then, he opened his eyes and looked at the gorgeous smile on his wife and the honey-dipped voice melted his heart, "Good Morning, My Love."

There was a hint of tease at the corner of her lips. She dipped her head and planted a soft, sweet kiss on his forehead, then one on his cheek. Then again a heart-stealing smile.

His wife's brain was working early in the morning. Nevertheless. he had plenty of reasons to eat her. "Somebody absconded yesterday. Should I catch the thief, Darling?" His hand snuck under her black nightdress. He watched her flinch when his finger grazed over smooth skin on her back and trailed up.

Ruby Jane was the thief for tempting him and running away. She couldn't believe he was keeping a straight face when his naughty hands were making her heart race. The more she tried to escape his fingers, his sensual touch was making her react just as he wanted.

She tried to roll off but his big warm palm spread on her back and pressed her down on him. "Where... are your hands going, Sweetheart?" Only she knew how difficult it was to say it so audibly when his other hand reached her leg under the duvet.

Lisa stated the matter of fact, "Honey, they go where they belong." His husky tempting voice was breaking the little control she was holding up.

Why didn't she know his hands belonged to her body?

Unwilling to give up in the early morning naughty battle, she tried to counter, "They..." She huffed. Her arm strength gave away, almost making her fall on him when his hand shifted in the direction. His big palm gently and tortuously slow, massaged her soft peak. As if one wasn't enough, his other hand caressed her thigh moving up tormentingly slow.

"They... shouldn't?" He teased her when he already knew, she could pounce on him any second.

He waited for her to respond to him when his slow torture was making her crazy, "They should," He gave the permission he wanted.

She suddenly gasped when he rolled over her and pressed her under him. As much as she craved for him, she could see the desire filling in his eyes. This man was a devil, a big bad wolf on the bed.

"And... My lips?" His deep voice tantalized her ears and he started prepping her face, down her neck. Being as slow as he could.

She knew if she wanted she could end his torture and get off the bed. But she clearly didn't want that. Why work out separately when they could burn the calories together.
