The Midsummer Auction

They froze when the knock sounded on the door, and he stifled a groan of frustration against the side of her neck. He gave her a love bite and, easing out of her while hissing at the effort it took, got off the bed. She immediately scrambled off, adjusting her clothes hastily. Snatching her panties up off the floor she tucked them under her and sat down in an overstuffed armchair along the wall opposite to the fireplace. Zipping his trousers over his still semi-erect cock Anthony strode to the door and opened it.
“Your dinner, sir, madam,” Hodgett said.
He entered the room pushing the trolley and transferred the covered dishes from it to the big square coffee table in front of the fireplace. It was impossible to tell from his demeanor whether he had noticed that Sir Anthony’s hair was completely mussed, his face was flushed, and the bedspread had developed a surprising number of wrinkles. He pulled the two chairs up to the coffee table and wheeled the trolley out to the hallway, discreetly managing to avoid looking directly at Lady Astonville who was seated in an armchair nonchalantly thumbing through a magazine. When the door closed behind Hodgett they looked at each other and began to giggle.
“Do you think he knew?”
“I’d bet my mother’s silver tea service on it,” Anthony replied.
Ignoring the two chairs Hodgett had drawn up to the coffee table, they sat together on the carpet to eat, their knees tucked up under them. When they were finished he stacked the dishes on the tray and deposited it just outside the door. She peeled off her sweater and skirt and they took their wine back to the huge four-poster, sitting up against the headboard, chatting. His eyes strayed over her, enchanted by what he was sure he was seeing, the evidence of her pregnancy. Her breasts seemed rounder, fuller, and the color of the nipples and aureoles had deepened almost to burgundy. They looked way beyond edible. He dipped his finger into his wine glass and smeared wine over both nipples, letting it run down her body. The sensuality of it silvered the jade of her eyes, and she traced one nipple with her fingertip and licked the wine off it. He set his wine glass on the bedside table, removed hers from her hand, and put it down next to his.
He slipped down and licked the wine off her belly and the sides of her breasts where it had run and left a trail on her skin. The sensation of his licking the full undersides of her breast made her purr deep in her throat. Intoxicated by the wine and the taste of her flesh, he nibbled and swept his tongue over her nipples and then filled his mouth with each tantalizing aureole in turn. She moaned, writhing with pleasure from his strong sucking.
“You’re up to it, love? Not too jet-lagged?” he asked, raising his head to look at her.
“With you, I’m always up to it,” she said, her forefinger tracing the line of his top lip. “You have that effect on me.” She would love him forever, heart, body and soul, this man who had become the air she breathed.
“Good,” he said with such satisfaction that she gave him a sultry look from under her lashes.
“Why?” she asked him teasingly. “What exactly do you have in mind?”
“Oh, everything,” he said fervently. “I’ve been fantasizing forever about how I would make love to every inch of you on your first night in this house as my wife.”
“Do I get an active role in this fantasy?”
“Absolutely.” He got out of bed, shed his clothes, and climbed back on the bed. He stretched out alongside of her and pulled her on top of him. He smoothed the hair away from her face with both hands and then cupped her face and kissed her mouth.
His cock throbbed hard against her belly and she wriggled her body, maneuvering until the length of him was immersed between her damp folds. Her movements enticed him, begged him to go all the way in and he fought down his craving to embed himself inside her body, warm himself in her heat.
“No, darling,” he said, his voice tortured. “Not yet. I want this to last all night.”
In desperation he heaved her body further up over his, dragging his mouth over her nipples, grazing them with his teeth, grasping her buttocks to keep her hard against him as her breath gusted rapid and hot into his scalp. Abruptly, he took her by the waist, urged her up and lowered her. She cried out her agonized pleasure as his tongue rasped across her vulva and sought out the sensitive bud. Her body temperature skyrocketed and she moaned and shivered as he pinned her against his relentless, demanding mouth and began to eat her. Her skin prickled warningly, every pore opening to cool her overheated body, and then she was gripping the headboard and screaming as her orgasm ploughed violently through her.
It was what the French call le petit mort, the little death. When she came to, she was lying on top of him and he was stroking her hair. She raised her head to look at him and saw in his eyes the inexpressible love and the flame of sensual hunger for her that had permanently branded his soul. A little exclamation escaped her and she reached out instinctively to touch his face, her eyes spilling her own love and passion for him.
Then a smile touched his eyes, played sexily around his mouth. “I’m your lovesick slave, mistress,” he said.
Her eyelashes swooped down and lifted, and the gleam he loved so much was in her eyes. “Good,” she said, her fingers curling around his already engorged and pulsing cock, “because I have big plans for you, Dick.”
Epilogue
He walked into the house and went to find her in his mother’s sitting room, where he knew she would be. He sat down next to her on the settee and handed her a thick brown envelope.
“This is your wedding present, darling. I’m sorry it’s so late, but the paperwork took some time.”
She opened it curiously, pulled out the documents and skimmed through them. A deed of land in her name. She looked up at him, her eyes shining.
He leaned over and kissed her. “I wanted you to have something that was exclusively yours, to hold on to, just for you to know that you have it,” he told her. “Are you pleased?”
“It’s a wonderful present, Anthony. Fifty hectares of land at the ideal altitude to grow Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. It’s perfect. I wish I had something valuable to give you,” she said a little wistfully.
“Believe me, sweetheart, you do,” he told her, his voice charged with sensuality. He put one arm around her and pulled her closer, petting her tight, round belly with his other hand. She relaxed into the circle of his arms and laid her head back on his shoulder, her pulse flickering in her throat as his hand moved from her belly to caress her mound lovingly. He bent his head and sucked the hollow of her throat, and she feathered his earlobe and the downy hair she so loved at the back of his neck with kisses, her breath coming faster as his fingers wandered down and slid easily into her sex. With an indrawn breath she placed her hand over his to keep it there, surrendering to ecstasy as his fingers slipped deeper inside her, fucking her sweetly while he teased her nub, slick and wet, with his thumb. The slippery feel made his mouth go dry with longing, and he lifted his head to look at her.
“As a matter of fact,” he continued, “I was hoping you’d give it to me now.”
