make shift plate of bread, meat and cheese for Isaac and handed it
to him. She picked up a single apple and
began slowly nibbling on it while Isaac took his plate and settled onto the
ground next to her.
“You are a very
talented woman, Emma.”
“Thank you, I do
what I can. Someday I’m going to have to
teach a house full of women the same skills.”
“What do you
mean? Won’t you have a house and a
husband of your won to worry about?”
“Most likely not.”
“Why do you say
that?”
“Because no man
wants a scared wife, they all prefer to have her pretty than useful. Here a man can find both.”
Isaac was gazing at
Emma as she spoke, he could tell she truly believed she would never find a
husband because of her face. He reached
up and caressed his fingertips along her scar again, trying to be gentle with
her face. Isaac wanted to sooth her
sorrows and give Emma hope that she had seemed to have lost long ago. He pulled her face closer to him and leaned
in, pressing his lips against hers to kiss her sweetly. Her lips were too soft to pull away quickly,
Isaac groaned as he pressed a little harder and savored the soft touch of her
mouth on his.
Chapter Six
Emma stood perfectly
still, letting Isaac control their kiss. She had never kissed a person in her entire life, and was stunned to
have her first be someone as handsome as Isaac. When he pulled away he could see the confused look in her eyes, so he
smiled at her before leaning back to let her adjust to his sudden affection.
“Are you alright
Emma?”
“I just…I hope I was
ok…”
Emma hid her face as
she blushed, worrying that she was a terrible kisser.
“Your lips are
amazing, and sweet. No need to hide your
face from me.”
Isaac reached up and
pulled her chin to force her eyes back to his.
“You are beautiful
Emma, and anyone who says otherwise is a fool.”
Emma continued to
blush but didn’t hide her face again; she continued to gaze into his eyes
instead.
“You are a very
sweet man, Isaac.”
“And you are a sweet
woman Emma.”
Isaac leaned in
again and pressed his lips back against Emma’s, causing her to let out a soft
whimper. Isaac smiled against her lips
and leaned forward a bit more, wanting more of her lips against his, instead
falling over and pinning Emma to the blanket. Emma started to giggle and bit down on her lower lip as their mouths
pulled apart.
“I don’t think
Madame would approve.”
Isaac chuckled in
response, pushing himself up just enough to hover over Emma.
“Apparently I am
also a clumsy man.”
“I don’t mind, you
are most likely going to be the only man that is clumsy with me.”
Emma smiled softly,
but her mouth couldn’t maintain her smile as her mind wandered through the thoughts
of her being alone.
“I don’t believe
that.”
Emma wasn’t sure
what came over her, but in that instant she truly believed he would be the only
man to ever look at her without disgust. She wrapped her hands around his head and pulled him in for a deep kiss,
letting the entire weight of his body pin her to the ground. Isaac groaned as her taste flooded his mouth,
his hands pressed against the ground on either side of her body, one hand
moving to caress along her side as the continued to dance their tongues. Isaac tried to pull away from Emma but her
hands gripped his head tighter, and she arched her back to press her breasts
harder against his chest. Isaac let out
a small growl before giving into Emma completely, his hand moving down her side
until it was caressing the side of her knees.
Isaac lifted her
knee up to wrap her leg around his him as he began to grind into her, causing
her to moan and whimper, her hands moving down to his neck and lightly
scratching at his skin. Isaac finally
gained control of himself after countless minutes of grinding and thrusting his
hips against Emma.
“We can’t be doing
this.”
“Why not?”
