Julian's lips curved into a sly smile, as he watched the flood of conflicting emotions crashing through Regina's mind. He then lowered his hands slowly to undo his belt.
Regina's eyes immediately shifted towards him, unable to tear herself away from the sight. She watched with shallow breath and racing heart as the belt slid through his pants with a clank.
Julian stepped closer to the bed. The candlelight flickered across his features, casting shadows that only served to enhance the hunger in his gaze. His eyes never left hers as he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the manly muscles of his chest.
"Julian..." she said, the name slipping from her lips in a breathless whisper.
He leaned closer, his breathe warm against her skin as his hand reached out to play with her hair gently.
"Sshhhh," he whispered again, gentle and soft. "Just give in, Mother."
