Dinner had went great, and Laguna had not been able to keep his eyes off Edea the entire evening. She was so regal, elegant and beautiful. He felt like the luckiest man in the world to even be near her. The last time he had felt so strongly about a woman was when he had been with Raine. He still missed her terribly, and since her death he had found no one, until now.

He hadn’t expected her to invite him into her quarters when they got back to the Garden, but he wasn’t about to refuse her invitation. As soon as the door was shut she was in his arm, her body pressed against his.

“I had a really good time,” she said, her voice husky and low with open desire.

He swallowed thickly. “Me too.” Her hands wound into his hair, and she pulled him into a surprisingly demanding kiss. It had been so long for him that he froze for only a moment before he returned the embrace. “Hyne, you’re beautiful,” he said, his mouth still so close to hers that he could feel her smiling.

“And you’re handsome,” she purred, tracing her tongue over his bottom lip. “Not to mention, incredibly sexy.” Her light, seductive laugh was intoxicating, and he blushed with a trembling breath. He had been complimented on his looks by many women before, but hearing it pass her lips made him feel like a inexperienced school boy. “Ah, I’ve made you blush,” she observed with a slow smile. “Have far does this blush go,” she breathed, undoing the knot of his tie.

“I guess you’re going to find out,” he said with a light chuckle.

“I intend to,” she answered, pulling the bothersome tie off his neck, and tossing it over her shoulder before ravaging his mouth in a sensual kiss. She pushed his jacket off his shoulders and down his arms to let it fall to the floor.

“Edea,..it’s been so long…since I’ve felt this way,” he murmured as he trailed lush kisses along her jawline to her slender neck. “I can’t stop thinking about you,” he said. ‘You’re babbling like an idiot,’ he thought to himself, but he was unable to stop his continuous string of sentiments.

“Laguna,” she sighed with longing, pulling back to look into his deep blue eyes. She put her fingers over him mouth before he could utter another word. “I love you too,” she whispered. “Now, don’t speak,” she drawled out slowly with a seductive smile. She grabbed the front of his shirt, and with a boldness that was breathtaking, she ripped it open, sending the buttons flying in all directions. He was unable to conceal his surprise, or his arousal, and she seemed pleased with his wide eyed expression.

“I love you,” he gasped through a soft moan as she ran her hands over his bare, muscled chest.

“Then show me. The bedroom is down the hall. Take me there,” she purred against his chest, her brushing lips sending a pleasant shiver up and down his spine.

With ease he lifted her lithe form, and moved down the hall with her in his arms. She nuzzled his neck, and hot stabs of lust burned through his body as he carried her to what he knew would be heaven, but it was more than sexual desire he was feeling for this intriguing woman. He was so hopelessly in love to the point of feeling weak, and it was euphoric.

In the bedroom, neither one of them rushed the moment, undressing each other with slow seduction until the were flesh against flesh, both their bodies flushed with the heat of arousal. The bed in the middle of the room still stay empty as they stood and held each other in the semi-darkness, kissing and caressing like they had all the time in the world. Harsh pants of breath, and soft moans were the only thing heard in the shadowy bedroom, their exploration of each other seeming endless.

Edea could feel Laguna’s stiff organ poking insistently at her stomach as she trailed open mouth kisses over his chest, taking time to lavish each nipple with rolls of her tongue.
