Eward, though still being his usual impatient self in having her so quickly, was being far gentler than he had been with previous conquests. Perhaps it was that he didn't view Katherine as such a thing? For she wasn't something he had willingly gone out of his way to have, and she had been the one to initiate this. For once he was not thinking of the fastest way to gain his pleasure but he was thinking, and hoping, that he might unite them both in ensuring she experienced her own.
With steady movements and measured strokes Eward went easy. His kisses continued, intensified when she made movements or sounds, and he allowed himself to become lost in their rhythmn.
