his eyes lit up like burning coal. “I am the only
man to comfort Audrianna in her time of need.”
“Arie,
I am really okay. There was no need for you to come here at all. Please, go now
and I will see you next week at prayer service at Immaculate Conception.”
“Praise
be you, you are so brave. Yes, I see you there.” He bent down and kissed her forehead
lightly.
“Pray,
may I see you outside a moment, Father?” Viktor managed through clenched teeth.
They
departed the room and Elyzabel tried hard to contain her laughter. “Talk about
a cock fight.”
Audrianna
couldn’t help herself, she laughed along with Elyzabel.
“That
poor, poor woman. Such a brave face.”
Viktor
opened his mouth to speak-
“You
do realize that the poor woman is feigning joviality?”
“Father
Arie-”
“I
hope you do not intend to…” Arie raised one eyebrow significantly at Viktor. “ Stress her out, too soon.”
The
priest gave Viktor such a look it was impossible not to deduce what particular
type of stress Arie was implying.
“Look
here.” Viktor could hardly contain his fury. “Audrianna is my wife, you will
cease to be so familiar with her as to lay your hands on her shoulder or your
lips on her,” Viktor struggled to grasp the right word. “ANYWHERE! Have I made
myself clear?”
Arie
looked contrite; he sighed and nodded placidly.
Viktor
was not fooled, though. He crooked his head at him, not believing his
sincerity. “Do you wish to harm my wife, to harm me, to harm my marriage?”
Arie
blinked, and was at once red. “Good Viktor, no! I mean no harm to you or to
anyone.”
“Then
you would keep a safe distance from my wife.” Viktor’s eyes were candid. “Do
not doubt that I will take action against her, the fault to be your own doing.”
Arie
blanched. “Do you mean you would harm her if ever you would suspect…”
“You
value her life, you will keep away from her. I have made myself clear.”
Viktor
walked past the priest and returned to his wife’s side. “Elyzabel, I will take
care of her. Please, leave.”
Elyzabel’s
eyes flashed from Viktor’s hot glare to Audrianna’s lowered gaze. “Alright,
I’ll just leave everything right here. Call me if you need anything. Later.”
Elyzabel
left and they were alone.
Audrianna
looked at Viktor with anxiety.
Is he
going to go anal on me now?
He
bent over her, his eyes tumultuous. His gaze slowly travelled from her newly
shaved head, down the length of her nose to her mouth. He met her eyes again,
but this time they exuded a tenderness that proclaimed his love for his wife. His
eyes travelled again, over her slender, curvaceous figure to the apex of her
thighs. His eyes became hot and needy. She felt the same way. Last night was a
double full moon and a time when lusts ran high for were’s . They both
felt restless to have missed being together last night.
“Honestly.”
He grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed her onto the bed. “Either you have
that man completely fooled, or he is an idiot.” His lips landed on hers with
such longing to be touched she responded in kind, if not with more fervor.
“Mmmmm.”
Her voice strained in her throat as she groaned into his mouth. She felt his
palm caress her leg beneath her gown and she shuddered. His hand traced the
length of her thigh, his index finger flicked her below, moaning in wicked
delight. Never breaking the kiss, his finger traced her down there and entered
her body. A wave of pleasure erupted between her thighs.
Audrianna
swiped his long braid; grabbing his head, she dragged him closer to her. He
lifted his head, his teeth gently bit her lower lip and he suckled her there.
She sighed. His lips moving away from hers elicited a soft, musical, vocal
response from her in protest. His right hand caressed her left breast, his
thumb flicked her nipple. She whimpered. She brought her fist to her mouth.
Viktor
lowered his mouth to her breast and sucked it.
