Chapter 19

When Edward

woke up the next morning he was immediately alert and aroused at

the feeling of Alessandra's skin touching his. As he put his arm around her from behind, his

hand found her bare breast, making her moan softly and push back

her hips against him. She moved her back closer to him so he was

hard up against her buttocks.

Both realising the other was

awake, Alessandra turned and found herself looking at a

breathtaking sight that was her husband's naked form. She

immediately started kissing him everywhere, taking him to the

heights again as she pleasured him with her mouth. He returned the

pleasure before they even spoke to one another.

As they lay in bed afterward,

looking at each other, he smiled at her.

"I did not know there was this

much pleasure to be had. I thought married couples did this to make

children, and no other reason," he said, idly caressing one of her

nipples.

Alessandra sighed and

enjoyed the caress.

"I did not know either," she

said quietly.

The look on

her face made Edward kiss her

again, and move on to pleasuring her yet again, this time with his

finger while they kissed. It was a pleasure neither could imagine

they would ever get tired of.

Some time later, finally they

knew they had to get out of bed.

"Today I must go with

Father to visit some of our tenants, so I shall be out most of the

day," Edward said as he dressed.

Alessandra dressed as far

as she could herself, and then Edward helped her to secure the back

of her dress - an action he was learning to enjoy greatly each

morning. As he did so, he kissed her on the back of her neck - an

area she now loved him kissing while he assisted in her dressing

ritual each day. On feeling his lips, she moaned again. The sound

induced his body to become aroused once more.

"I wonder if I shall ever

get anything done, wanting to be close to you like this all the

time," Edward said, laughing softly.

Alessandra smiled at

him and pulled herself away, readying herself as finally

presentable for company.

"Come then, Husband. Let us

leave this room of privacy to go be with your parents, and I shall

simply look forward to tonight," she said as if to tempt him into

arousal again, before laughing with him as they headed to

breakfast.

Entering the breakfast

room, they greeted Edward's parents, who exchanged a knowing look

but refrained from chastising the young couple for their lateness

of rising from their bed.

"Eat quickly, Edward. We have

an appointment we must get to," Edward's father said with a slight

tinge of sternness in his voice. The tone told Edward that possibly

from that point forward, it might be best to not indulge in quite

so much pleasure early in the morning, which seemed to consistently

make him late for breakfast.

"And you and I, Alessandra, are

going to spend some time today going over some household management

learning," Edward's mother said. Alessandra smiled and nodded back

at her.
