It had nothing to do with duty, though. That wasn't what marriage or love was to him, just because they both signed some paper it didn't mean she was obligated to do anything she didn't want to for his sake. But he knew he took immense pleasure out of making her feel good like that, so he could only hope it would be the same for her when she was using her mouth on him.

Leaning down, he tipped his head and returned the kiss slowly, shifting around and lowering his body on top of hers, his hips framed by her parted legs.
