The Ideal Wife (2008)
“She was surely entitled to privacy and rest following what had been something of an ordeal of terror for her.
And he had told her that he would leave. How many hours ago had that been?
And yet, he thought, listening to her quiet breathing, feeling the silkiness of her hair over his arm and hand, smelling its clean soap fragrance, she was asleep and relaxed. Her head was still pillowed on his shoulder. Her one hand, he could feel, was at his waist, beneath his nightshirt.
The experience had been... very new for him too. From the age of nineteen he had always chosen his mistresses on the basis of their reputation as skilled courtesans. He had been taught all he knew about the pleasures of the body from those mistresses, having been a virgin himself when he employed the first.
He had not realized that there could be something erotic and deeply satisfying about making love to an innocent, to a woman who lay still on the bed beneath him and confessed to not knowing what to do.
He smiled as he remembered Abigail admitting just that when he first kissed her.MoreLess
