[Victor] Echo sighed softly as I started kissing her body. I kissed until my hands reached the hem of her shirt. I raised it up and started kissing her bare stomach. The muscles of her abdomen tightened as my lips brushed over her skin.She let out a soft moan, her body writhing beneath me. Echo ran her hands through my hair, pulling me closer to her. I could feel the heat emanating from her body as I continued to kiss down her abdomen.Her skin was so smooth and I couldn’t resist the urge to run my hand over it. Echo moaned softly as I traced my fingers along the curve of her waist. I could feel my own desire building as I looked up to meet her gaze.I tickled along the top of her jeans with my tongue, tasting Echo’s sweet skin. Breathing her in, I reached for the button of her jeans, undoing them with zealous fingers. Slowly, I pulled them down, revealing lacy black panties that sent a jolt of excitement through my body. The contrast between her pearly pale skin and the deep, true black of the material was like art.With greater haste, I removed her pants and shirt, tossing them onto the floor. Echo reached for me. Her teeth biting into her bottom lip, her eyes dark and heavy with desire.She was always eager for the pleasure to come. Grayson indulged her, his own passion overwhelming him. If I weren’t there, he wouldn’t savor her the way she deserved. He certainly wouldn’t take the time to memorize every little thing about being with her. I would never give up the chance to immortalize her in my mind at every joining.Carefully, I spread her legs and sat between them as I ran my fingers over the material covering her most sacred of places. When I was alive, women didn’t have underclothing like this. I was a little obsessed with the tiny pieces of fabric and how they covered my sweet Solus Amor’s body.Echo’s hips rose to meet my hand, wanting me to touch her where she wanted to be touched. I slid my hand over the material, my fingertips grazing it barely as I leaned in. I returned to her waist, where I had been previously tracing with my tongue, and kissed my way down to the hem of her panties.Again, I traced the hem with my tongue. Echo moaned and writhed. I ran my hands up the inside of her thighs, feeling the silky smoothness of her skin. Echo’s breath caught in her throat and her body tensed. I could almost feel her entire being yearning. Yearning for me, for my touch. It echoed my own hunger for her.“Perhaps I should merely tease you and leave you without release. I could tie your hands behind your back. Let you suffer while I clean myself up.... Give you a taste of what you gave me this morning.”She gasped. “I’m sorry, Victor. I’ll never do it again, I swear.”I would never do such a thing, but I noted how much more aroused she smelled, even if she begged me not to do it. I was saving every piece of information for later. Only Grayson stood any chance of knowing our Echo as much as I did. When the time was right, I would know what different things to introduce to the bedroom to keep her happy.“I should, you know,” I murmured as I pressed my lips against her underwear, hearing her breath hitch in her throat.Kissing her through the material, I gripped her hips, keeping them from moving as I enjoyed her. Echo tried to move, tried to press herself more firmly against my lips. I chuckled, making her moan and try to squirm again.“There is probably much work to be done.... It would be irresponsible of me to remain in bed any longer....”"Please stay longer, Victor. I did so good today while you slept," she whimpered.“Really? You were working hard all day?”“I really was. I did so much. I got all of my chores done and I found out more information about Spencer,” Echo replied in a soft, eager voice.Though she was looking for praise, I stopped what I was doing and looked up at her. It was at times like this that I wished I could talk with the werewolves in the house telepathically. I needed more information.“Don’t talk about other men while I’m touching you, Echo.”“Please, Victor?”Her voice was soft and pleading. I couldn’t resist any longer. The ability to say no to her was something I seemed to lose entirely at that moment.“Fine. You may tell me what you have learned about Spencer as long as you do not falter. If you do, I will also stop. Do you understand?” I asked.“Wait. That wasn’t what I meant! I wanted to tell you before.... If I tell you during....”“What? What will happen if you tell me during? Will I be upset with you?”She shook her head, and I swiped my tongue over the little patch of cloth between her legs, eliciting a moan from her.“Will I get so excited I rush from the room leaving you unfulfilled?” I asked again.“No,” she replied.I bit down gently on her mound, gaining another sweet utterance from my Solus Amor.“Then what could possibly happen? Oh, I know. You’re afraid that you won’t be able to focus on your own pleasure if you are made to report to me. Well, you should have thought of that before you said anything,” I chuckled, gripping the tops of her panties and slowly sliding them down. “Tell me what you learned.”“Spencer was an orphan. Some sort of warrior group that follows the human god raised him,” Echo said softly as I tossed her panties aside.“Oh?” I teased with my breath, watching her eyes widen. “Were they fighting supernaturals?”She shook her head. I waited for more information, but Echo’s eyes were closed and her mouth was slack. I stopped moving and breathing.Echo looked down at me and blushed. “I tried to tell you I couldn’t focus.”“Try harder, Echo. You offered yourself to me and you offered this information. I want both and you need to provide both. Now, tell me what this warrior for the human god was fighting, if not supernaturals.”Part of me already knew. There was something deep inside of me that understood more of the man in our guest room than the vampire side of me ever would. Not just the emotional connection of having lost our families, but something else. Something from back when I believed in the same things he did.I returned to my meal. My sweet Echo moaned as my tongue teased over her. She tried to urge me on, but I would not give her what she wanted until she gave me what I wanted.My tongue traced a well-controlled figure eight around her clit and down to her opening, tasting just the very edge of her before returning up to tease her further. No matter how Echo tried to move, I was faster and kept her from achieving what she desired.“Tell me, Echo.”“He was fighting evil humans and demons!” she cried out, and I finally gave her the contact she wanted.I paused as the information trickled into my brain, I admit, more slowly than I liked. He fought demons. This wasn’t just human military, then. A warrior group that follows and fights for the human god…. Templars?“The holy warriors who fight demons?” I asked to confirm what I had already guessed.Echo nodded, and I watched her as I sucked her clit lightly. Her hips moved toward me, though I kept her still with my hands. This was a very interesting development.Moving my hands around, I held her hips down with one hand while I slid my fingers into Echo. I had lived in Europe for much of the time that the Knights Templar were active. Though some branches still existed in more minor roles, they disbanded the primary branch of the Templars in the early 14th century.Could a militant branch have survived all this time? It was a lot to consider. It was also very lucky that exactly the sort of person I needed happened to fall into my lap.Echo’s muscles squeezed me as she cried out, a product of the combined efforts of my fingers and my tongue. I did some of my clearest thinking while making Echo moan. With my body focused on hers, my mind was free to do as it pleased. Some might find it insulting, but I knew Echo wanted to help me in any way she could.Her breathing was heavy when I removed my fingers, licking them clean before removing my sleep pants, rising, and taking her in my arms. Her skin was flushed as I pressed against her basking in the warmth of my sweet little wife. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me tenderly.“Thank you, Echo.”“For what, Victor?”I cupped her face and kissed her deeply. Echo let out a gentle moan as our tongues danced together. When I pulled away, her lips chased after me.“For always being so good and sweet,” I murmured as I kissed her cheek. “For working so hard for us.” I kissed the tip of her nose. “For giving me your time today instead of pushing me away again.”“There’s one more thing that I needed to tell you about Spencer,” Echo replied.“What is it, my princess?” I asked, kissing all over her face as I started the slow slide into her body.“The name of his wife was Stephanie Aimes.”I paused. “That is quite the coincidence. Do you suspect she is a descendant of Fenton Aimes?”“I...” she gave a whimpering squeak as I came to a stop inside of her.“Speak, my love. I won’t move again. I promise.”“I think she is. Grace had two other brothers. She could have been the granddaughter or great-granddaughter of one of them. I could call Uncle Preston and ask him. He would know better,” Echo said.“That is an excellent idea. We shall call him after our shower, but first....”With that, I pulled back and thrust into her. Echo’s body reacted to my movement. Her arms wrapped around me and pulled me closer as her hips moved against mine. It was as if she couldn’t get close enough.I held her close and rolled us until she was on top of me. Echo kissed me before sitting up and taking control. This was one of my favorite positions because I loved watching our joining and Echo loved being in control. She had very little control over anything in her life before, so any little control we gave her now made her happy.Echo started slowly riding me in a way that made it impossible to focus on anything else. I held her hips and let her make the pace. She started out slowly and gradually built up speed until we were rocking together as hard as we could.She leaned back and placed her hands behind her to keep from falling. The sight of her bouncing before me was almost unbearable. Echo’s eyes closed, and she gave a gasp as her head fell back.With a smile, I watched her finding her bliss again. This was far more fulfilling to me than finding an orgaѕm. Knowing I created this reaction in her filled me with a sense of peace and happiness.“Victor...” she whispered, her voice strained. “I love you. I love you.” Her head tilted back, and she twitched with another orgaѕm before falling forward.“I love you more, my beautiful wife.”I held her close as she laid on top of me. My hands stroked up and down her back. I rubbed circles into her skin until her breathing normalized. When she finally sat up, I pulled out before moving her off me and pushing her toward the shower.“Let’s get cleaned up. We have a phone call to make.”“But you didn’t finish.”“I’ll finish in the shower. Come on, Echo,” I told her with a laugh.She shook her head and giggled as I pushed her into the attached bathroom and started up the shower. While we waited for the water to warm up, Echo went to her knees in front of me and started kissing and licking my teѕticles. I stroked her hair while I watched her diligent little tongue on me. She removed her bra without stopping.Once the temperature was warm enough, I helped Echo up and led her into the shower. It was a large glass room with several showerheads. Even in my old home, I had never had anything so decadent as this bathroom. It was perfect for all of the intimate encounters we had and even for relaxing alone.On our honeymoon, Echo got used to the fact that I drew out my enjoyment with her. I would get myself to the edge and pull back. It made it even better when I finally finished. Grayson preferred multiple passionate, yet shorter, encounters in a night. It was one way we differed.Diligently, I washed my wife. She did the same, sliding soap all over me and writhing under my touch. When we rinsed off, I knew I had to finish our time together. I needed to get all the information Echo had on Spencer and figure out how he fit and how I was going to get him to help us.An expert in fighting demons was perfect. Even if he could only advise us, I would be eternally grateful.I easily picked Echo up and held her in the heated blast of the water. She was perfection. Echo pressed her forehead to mine and gazed into my eyes. She knew how much I loved intense eye contact when I made love to her. Echo wrapped her legs around my waist but let me take control of her.“I’m sorry I can’t take my time, my love. Once this is all over, we’ll have a lot more time together,” I told her as I slid into her damp heat.“I know, Victor. It’s okay,” she whispered.My mind was a haze of lust, passion, and need as I withdrew and advanced faster and harder with each thrust. Echo moaned, her fingernails digging into my shoulders. I could feel her beginning to shake with orgaѕm as I pounded into her.Echo cried out. Her body tightened, her legs shook around me. I knew she would сum again. I slipped a hand between us to rub her clit. It didn’t take long before another was upon her, which also brought me to my end. Her body spasmed around mine as I finished, my body releasing into her with wild abandon.I held her in my arms tightly as she panted and kissed my neck and jaw. When we had both recovered, I helped her clean up again, and we got out of the shower. Echo leaned against me as I dried her.She always enjoyed cuddling after we were intimate. It was the reason I didn’t like to indulge with her when there wasn’t much time. She needed a lot more care than I could afford when there was work to be done.“Come, my love, we have work to do and Grayson should have already arrived home,” I whispered as I kissed her on the head.Echo nodded, and we went to dress. While she was picking out something to wear for the evening, I whisked her discarded panties away to join my secret stash.
