When she saw she'd been provoking the desired effect on Erik, Mary gave a throaty, low-pitched laugh that went on until he kissed her again. As he picked her up, she readily wrapped her legs and arms around him, ready to go wherever he took her at this point.
Unsurprisingly, Erik's smugness was supported by his skills, as Mary realized upon gasping lightly at the touch of his hands under her skirt and seeing how fast he'd gotten her out of her underwear. Mary's nails ran across Erik's back, carving deeper on his flesh with each of his kisses, and even deeper when he played with her nipples. When he knelt down Mary gave up on sitting and threw herself back on the bed, enjoying each of his touches thoroughly.
