Chapter 137: Awaited confession (4)

Selene waited until the servants left to then join Xavier in the bathing chamber. When she walked inside, Xavier was already discarding his clothes and neatly setting them to the side.

Selene turned to offer him some privacy and to not stare at his body. The realisation that she too needed to get undressed came to her now.

She looked down at her dress and quickly started to loosen the strings so she could get undressed while Xavier was busy removing his clothes. Selene did not want to back out of this now when she had already agreed but standing here made her feel nervous.

Selene turned when she heard him approaching. Xavier was naked before her, confident in himself and how he looked.

Was it wrong she wanted to pinch him to get rid of how confident he was?

Xavier knew Selene needed a helping hand so he pulled on the string at the front of her dress. He was grateful this was not one of the dresses which had many buttons he needed to open or he would have lost his patience.

He was well aware she kept her gaze on his face to avoid looking at the lower part of his body. Selene might not be scared but she certainly was nervous which she had every right to be. Selene might change her mind about joining him now if she knew what was going on inside his head. If she knew of the ways he wanted to have her.

Xavier kissed her as a distraction whilst his hands worked to undress her. He was fortunate to know what needed to be undone to have her out of all that she wore before the water started to turn too warm.

With the last of what covered her dropping to the floor, Xavier stepped away from Selene. She needed to do this part on her own.

Xavier walked to the tub alone and got inside to make himself comfortable. Once seated, he watched Selene’s every move and soaked in the sight of her body. Her hands covered her chest once she noticed his stare but it was pointless since he already saw all of her.

While it might be a turn-off for others since Selene wasn’t quick to join him but Xavier enjoyed every bit of the show. He noticed the curiosity in her eyes and as she took her first few steps toward him, Xavier held his hand out to help her get inside without falling.

Seeing Selene grow to be more comfortable and not hold herself back in the future would all be worth it. They had enough time on their hands for Xavier to wait for the day she would seduce him.

Selene aimed to sit on the opposite side but instead, found herself positioned between Xavier’s legs with her back pressed against his chest.

She tried to look over her shoulder at him. "Is this not uncomfortable for you?"

Selene felt all of him pressing against her buttocks and lower back. It was evident how excited he was to have her here but she didn’t want to hurt him.

"It isn’t. I am quite comfortable," Xavier replied, caging her with his arms snaking around her waist.

"I may not be experienced but I know men. I know this might be uncomfortable for you so if you would release me a little, perhaps it would be better for you," Selene said.

"Do you think it is me who is uncomfortable or is it that feeling it against your skin places dirty thoughts inside your head? As your husband, I will not judge what you are imagining now. If you share your thoughts, I might be more comfortable," Xavier said close to her ear.

Selene looked down at the water. It might have been a bad idea to join him. "I do not have any indecent thoughts."

"Well, it is a jab at my ego that you hadn’t thought of anything whilst seeing me like this. Is my body not to your liking?" Xavier asked.

"I never said that. What is with everyone today wanting me to think that way?" Selene wondered. If it was something in the air, she needed it to go away.

Xavier moved Selene’s hair to the right side so the left would be exposed to him. He indulged himself by leaving kisses on her skin. "It only matters what I want. Would you be so kind as to tell me how you wish to have me or how you would like me to have you? I am more than willing to tell you what is on my mind.

Xavier’s right hand moved from around Selene’s waist, trusting that she wouldn’t move. His right hand palmed her breasts, feeling the softness and weighing it. It perfectly fitted the palm of his hand.

"Those books you have should not go to waste. What can I do to have you try at least one position from it?" Xavier asked.

Selene’s hands settled on his thigh, her nails close to digging into his flesh as his left hand found its way between her legs again. He was already persuading her to consider it with how he acted now. If she wasn’t careful, Xavier was going to turn her into a woman who wanted this constantly.

"Selene," he called her name for an answer to his question.

Selene wished he understood her position. His hands were exploring her body and he was also hard against her back. How was she to concentrate then?

A moment of them lying against the bed in a scandalous position flashed inside her head.

Selene covered her face with her hands. "What are you doing to me?"

"Nothing. You simply want your husband and there is nothing wrong with it. Stop resisting, Selene. What you want is right here," Xavier said, placing it in her hands to take the next step.

"I do want you," Selene softly spoke but it was quite loud to Xavier. She bit her lip just as she turned around to face. Xavier. It wasn’t as easy as it appeared on the outside to keep acting like she did not want more.

Selene sat up, careful of his current predicament to not hurt Xavier and seated herself on his lap. The nervousness she felt earlier was wearing off since Xavier was good at helping her feel comfortable next to him.

Selene placed her hands on his shoulder. "Very well. I have thought about us being intimate. I won’t deny it anymore. I will learn to be more open as you are. It is your stare that makes me shy away. You don’t have any idea what it does to me."

"You fail to see that it is the same for me. Our reactions might not be the same but here are moments when I feel nervous around you. I am only better at hiding it. You must realise how much you mean to me," Xavier said, lifting Selene’s hand to kiss it.

Selene’s heart felt full hearing this. If he kept this up, the next time she confessed anything to him, it might be that she loved him. The fear of being hurt if she gave him all her heart wasn’t there anymore.
