"Where are you going?" Gideon grumbled sleepily hooking an arm around Vivienne's waist where she sat on the side of the bed and pulled her back down to him.
"I'm having breakfast with Marcie this morning before we go to the spa with the other ladies. I'm worried about her," she said softly cupping Gideon's handsome face and kissing him gently. He grunted in acknowledgement of her words. They were all worried about Marcella since she had gone missing a few weeks ago. She'd been interrogated by both the AFP and the family even though her story was proven time and again.
Both organisations had investigated her story and found nothing different from what she had told them. The helicopter pilot, Greg, seemed like an average Joe who worked between the Adelaide River Jumping Croc attraction and the wetland plantation he lived on with the other staff of the attraction. He'd been reprimanded for misusing the helicopter that day, but he got on well with his boss, and he got off lightly with just a warning. Marcella had called him a few times and seen him twice since then. It seemed there was nothing untoward about the whole incident.
Despite the success of her endeavour, Gideon could tell that it bothered Noah that Marcella had gone off alone to investigate, showing that she didn't trust him and was seeing the helicopter pilot, dating him even. The two had begun sniping at each other under the guise of friendly banter even more viciously since she had returned with her news and handed over her Apple Watch so they could locate the boat graveyard. Gideon pushed the thoughts from his mind and caressed his wife, kissing her neck and encouraging her to stay in bed with him.
"You know, if you keep doing that we are both going to be late. Don't you have to be at base this morning while the others are at the hospital?" Vivienne practically purred as Gideon's hands stroked up and down her body eliciting warmth and arousal as she lay in his strong arms.
"Yes, but you are so irresistible that having you this morning will be worth getting a tardy slip from the boss," he said huskily and brought his mouth to hers again.
Without breaking that kiss, their hands began to explore each other's bodies more fully. Vivienne revelled in the incredible muscle definition across Gideon's back, ass and taut stomach, while Gideon's fingers stroked and pleasured Vivienne's highly sensitive body. He enjoyed the silky feel of her soft skin and the increasingly desperate moans she made when he circled his fingers around the underside of her breasts. Vivienne it seemed, would not be teased indefinitely, however. Eventually breaking their kiss, she gently arched her back pressing her breasts into his chest and her pelvis against his as she gazed up into his eyes.
"What do you want?" murmured Gideon teasingly.
"You know what I want," whispered Vivienne, trying to hide the blush she felt creeping up her neck into her face. She loved the way he loved her, luxuriated in it even, but she still wasn't comfortable asking for what she wanted, craved and needed from him.
"Yeah, I know," he grinned. 'What's it worth?' he smiled, backing slightly away so that her unspoken request remained unfulfilled.
"Anything," she panted. "What do you want?" This was a game they played often, and she had given into trying a lot of things she would have otherwise baulked at if Gideon hadn't worn down her barriers with his game.
"I want to buy you jewellery," he murmured. "For these," he flicked her nipple. Vivienne looked down at him in shock, but before she had time to reply, Gideon tenderly wrapped his lips around Vivienne's hard nipple and ran his tongue firmly across the sensitive tip.
"Oh, my!" she cried out as her body jerked upwards in surprise at the overwhelming sensations and confusing emotions that assailed her. She wasn't naΓ―ve, she just wasn't sure exactly what he meant. Did he want to pierce her nipples or merely decorate them with something like pasties?
"And I want you to wear it every day. Like a naughty little addition under your bra," he added, dropping his mouth back down to her breast and clamping his teeth firmly around the sensitive bud. Easing her into the kind of sex he enjoyed was way too much fun, and he smiled around the sensitive bud. Every new idea he put into her head seemed to make her hotter and needier than the one before. He wasn't rushing her, and he would never force anything she wasn't ready for, but he adored these moments when he played his little game with her and put her slightly off balance with his requests.
"Gideon!" she squealed, her back arching in pleasure. Continuing to hold her nipple firmly between his teeth, Gideon then covered her skin with his lips and sucked gently, flicking his tongue irregularly so she could never second-guess him.
"Oh my God!" panted Vivienne as, never ceasing to give her pleasure with his mouth, Gideon placed the flat of his hand on her stomach and gently began to caress his way down her body and over her curls. Powerless to prevent herself, Vivienne groaned in delicious anticipation, her legs automatically opening wide as Gideon's hand progressed lower.
As Gideon's hand moved over the folds of her pussy, he came into contact with the evidence of how aroused she was and sighed with pleasure. Replacing the flat of his hand with his fingers, he began to run them so lightly through her velvet folds that Vivienne sometimes wasn't sure he had even touched her at all.
"I want you," she moaned softly. Gideon removed his mouth from her nipple, leaving it tingling in his wake.
"I know, but the question is how?" Gideon murmured and smiled, gently kissing his way across to her other breast. Vivienne gasped as he hovered over her body, before clamping his teeth down firmly on that nipple and subjecting it to the same treatment. Meanwhile, his fingers slid between her folds, until he found the very base of her clit. As Gideon rubbed his thumb over her clit in exquisite pressure, Vivienne's hips shot forwards in response making her cry out.
"Please, please," she whimpered, throwing her head back in submission to what Gideon was doing to her body.
