“With you.”
The blouse slipped away.
She held onto him, tighter now. She moaned.
He drew back just enough to look at her. This time, there was no restraint left in his eyes. Only possession. Only desire.
“You are…” His voice roughened, “so beautiful.”
His hands moved over her, slower now, taking in every detail. He cupped her, felt her.
“Oh…”
“To touch you like this…” A breath left him, uneven. “I have wanted this all day.”
His thumb traced her peaks, almost reverent. Her body reacted. She arched into him. Her thighs pressed together.
That was enough.
Whatever control he had been holding onto snapped.
He pulled her to him, off the table, and she came willingly, her arms around his neck, her body fitting against his as if it had already chosen him long before this night.
His hands settled at her back possessively.
“I am done waiting.”
The words were low. Final.
He carried her to the bed, his mouth finding hers again, deeper, claiming. By the time she felt the mattress, she had stopped trying to hold herself together.
He followed, his body over hers, leaving no space between them.
“Hukum…” The word slipped from her, soft, fragile.
He paused, drawing back just enough to see her. His hand came to her nape, holding her there. His eyes darkened further, pupils blown wide.
“Only that name tonight.” His thumb pressed at her nape. “Nothing else.”
A tremor ran through her. She clenched her thighs once again.
He saw it. His gaze sharpened.
“My wife,” he murmured, voice thick with promise, “I will make sure you remember this night.”
Her eyes closed. In surrender.
His mouth moved over her skin, each kiss claiming, learning, memorizing. She writhed under his touch. Her breath came slower, then faster. Her fingers dug into his hair.
“Hukum…” softer now.
His lips traveled lower, teasing, tasting her peaks.
A soft cry left her. “Aaah…”
He exhaled, undone, control slipping with every response she gave. Her back arched. Her grip tightened. She did not know whether she was trying to pull him closer or hold herself together.
"Please," she breathed.
