“I dislike endless questions,” he snapped.
“So then, how many questions am I allowed to ask you in a day? If I know then I can make certain I ask pertinent ones and not waste them on senseless ones, though I do not believe any question is senseless. One never knows what one will learn.”
Torin rose out of his chair while his wife continued talking, walked over to her, grabbed her face in his hands, leaned down, and commanded her silence with a powerful kiss. It was his intention to show dominance over her, make her obedient to his word, to his rule and there was no reprieve from it. She would submit to his will.
What he did not count on was the way she returned his kiss… with the same demand he had delivered it. And bloody hell if his shaft did not rise to the occasion.
Stunned, Flora had not known what to do, but she let her instinct rule as her mum had told her to do when the time came that she was first kissed. Instinct had her responding in kind to her husband’s command to kiss him, which was easy for her to do since she found his kiss quite enjoyable. She loved the power of it, the way he demanded, not letting her shy away but forcing her to participate, to linger in the joy of it.
She was not sure when his tongue made its way into her mouth, but she welcomed it along with a sensation that titillated her all over before settling between her legs. The one thing her mum had told her about coupling, her husband’s shaft slipping inside her, that she had thought disgusting now seemed possibly plausible as well as enjoyable.
Flora gasped when her husband ended their kiss abruptly. She had not been ready for it to end. She wanted more.
“You have kissed a man before me,” Torin accused, her eager and encouraging response not something found in an innocent woman.
“Nay. That was my first kiss, though my mum did tell me to follow my instinct and that is what I did since I found the kiss quite enjoyable. She also advised me about coupling and how a man’s shaft slips between a woman’s legs and deep inside her and I must say, at first, I thought it quite disgusting, but your kiss has me thinking differently and I am eager to experience it.”
Torin shook his head. Never had he met a woman who could talk so much and say things no woman would ever dare say.
He brought his face close to hers but not close enough where she might kiss him. “You will not talk when we couple, wife.”
“How will I know if I am doing it right if I cannot ask questions?”
He pressed his finger to her lips. “Not a word when we couple, scream if you’d like but you will speak not a word.”
“Why would I scream? Will you hurt me?” she asked, thinking back on what her mum had explained to her but not recalling her mentioning anything about screaming.
“Pleasure. You will scream with pleasure,” Torin explained and wondered why he continued to answer her questions.
“Truly? It will be that pleasurable that I will scream with delight?” she asked excited at the prospect of such a feeling. Then thought of something her mum had said. “But are you skilled at it? Doesn’t it take a skilled man to bring a woman pleasure? Of course, I think it only fair I learn to bring you pleasure as well.”
Torin didn’t know whether to regret wedding her or be thrilled that he had a wife who wanted to learn to pleasure him.
Flora tapped at her chin with her finger. “Of course, if you are skilled at coupling that would mean you had to have coupled with other women. Maybe I could talk with them to see what I can learn.”
Torin shook his head, appalled at the thought. “Absolutely not. I will teach you all you need to know.”
“You will teach me everything. You will not leave anything out,” she insisted.
Now he was thinking he was a lucky man. “Everything. You have my word, wife.”
“We can start tonight,” she said with a firm nod of her head as if she decreed it.
He was not going to argue that with her. “Tonight,” he confirmed.
She stood abruptly. “I need some people who will help me get the windows open in the keep. It is musty and needs airing.” She took hold of his arm and walked to the door. “We will flood the keep with fresh air and light to make it easier for the cleric, and fires need to be lit in the hearths since it will take time to heat the place and chase the cold away.”
They were outside before Torin realized it. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and was ready to remind her that she was to wait until the cleric got done with the keep before she started anything there.
