Chapter 141 - Hungrily (1/2)

Lily sat in front of the mirror at her dressing table, combing her long brown hair. Silky curls fell in gentle waves over her bare shoulders. The dark hair gave her fair skin an even whiter glow.

His eyes sparked. Hungrily he watched the beautiful sight of her back, wrapped in the finest silk. As if she were inviting him to brush the fine fabric off her soft skin.

Alexandre approached her from behind and kissed her slightly on the parting of her hair. Her sweet scent of vanilla and lemon clouded his senses. Still, this delicious smell of baking clung to her like a relish perfume. He sat down next to her on the pillowed stool and pulled her onto his lap.

”You know, all I can think of all day long... are those beautiful lips. Your lips.” Tenderly he followed the curve of her soft lips with his thumb while his hand held her face. He looked deep into her eyes. Saw the trembling in them. Her nervousness and hesitation, but also a sense of warmth.

With big eyes she looked at him in surprise. ”I... don't...” Innocent and also a little insecure, she stared straight into his clouded eyes.

Alexander tossed his head back, laughing. ”I know... The only thing that makes your mouth water are those little tarts you wanted to eat.”

”I've got a sweet tooth.”

”I know, you are somehow hopeless if it comes to sweets. Even if you make them.”

Alexandre watched her hungrily, with a quick grip he grasped her long hair and pushed it over her shoulder, leaving her white neck bare. ”But I'm going to eat you now!”

Lily tore her eyes open, but before she could protest, Alexandre had already put his lips hot on her neck, leaving a moist trail along her neck to the corner of her mouth. He drew a line of electric sparks over every inch of her skin he touched.

She seemed to shiver, to melt under his touch.
