"Portia…" he breathed, his hand coming to rest on her thigh.
She looked up at him, eyes wide, lips parted. "Am I doing it wrong?"
He chuckled, the sound hoarse. "No. But if you keep touching me like that, you'll make things a lot worse."
"Worse?" she whispered.
"Much, much worse," he said, his voice darkening as he reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Then, his lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, "Take it in your mouth…"
"Do you… know about it?" he asked gently, his eyes studying her face.
Portia hesitated, cheeks flushed, but finally nodded. "Alexia gave me a book before she left Silverfall… It had knowledge about everything."
Cristiano's lips curved into a slow, amused smile. "Did you read all of it?"
She nodded again, this time shyer. "Yes."
He chuckled softly, charmed by her honesty.
"I'm still inexperienced," she admitted in a small voice. "Watching… videos felt like cheating. I wanted to learn the right way—for you."
