Surprised at first, Aideen did not respond to her husband's kiss right away, so Tillian placed his right hand behind her head and pressed her face even closer, while his left hand slid down the princess's back.
"Tillian..." The woman tried to understand what made her husband so anxious but he refused to let go of her lips.
The Duke felt like his brain was melting, like he could let go of everything and just burn down in flames right there, with Aideen inside his arms. The lady took off his shirt and felt his hot naked upper body with her palm––his skin was unexpectedly soft, and his hard muscles were almost pulsating, indicating how tense his whole body was.
Not stopping even for a moment, Tillian took off the rest of his clothes, letting the princess help him with that. He hugged her the same way he did the last time––a strong, yet careful hold with Aideen's legs around his waist.
