There wasn't any way that Lariena could've prepared for just how intimate it was to have him so close and be able to look at her in such a way. To have him be able to touch all of her. Any time she'd imagined it, it'd always been the pleasurable side of the experience. What it might be like to finally have sex with her husband.
But this? Lariena hadn't thought about the rest of it. Getting to see him, feel all of him...
She wasn't entirely aware that her breathing was soft and quick as his hand traced over her. His kiss stole the rest of her breath, though she didn't exactly complain either. Lariena rather liked kissing him, reflexively parting her lips for him so she might deepen the kiss. One of her hands even gripped the back of his neck. Not hard, but wordlessly expressing her want to hold him close.
He drew a shiver from her at the attention to her breast and a soft sigh against his mouth. Lariena might have had to fake a lot of pleasantries that evening, but she was too caught up in all of the sensations in that moment to consider how her own reactions might be received. At one point, she'd worried she might be too loud, that her expressions might be odd... Presently, though, she just wanted him to touch her. Everywhere felt warm and she just ached...
When his hand slipped between them, between her legs, she did stifle a soft mewl. Lariena would've likely clamped her legs closed over his hand if he wasn't in the way.
Her eyes went back to his, though, when he told her he'd never been with another woman. It didn't really matter if it was the truth or not, because the truth was such a fickle thing in their social ring, but it quite mattered to her that he said it then. Lariena hadn't quite realized how much she'd wanted to be his only, as his wife, until he'd said it just then. So she clung to the words as she clung to him. She'd never be able to express that it meant so much to her, but he'd likely see it before she pulled him into another almost desperate kiss while she squirmed beneath him. Lariena needed very little by way of touch to be quite wet and ready for him.
