Magnus looked up with a playful gleam in his eye and tapped Natalia's nose lightly. "What's this? A little basin of water, and you're moved to tears? Seems like I'll have to step up my game in pampering you."
With that, he dipped his hands into the basin and gently massaged the soles of her feet. "Darling, is the pressure alright for you?"
Natalia, with her eyes half-closed in pleasure, murmured, "It's perfect, absolutely perfect."
Magnus' lips curved into a mischievous smile. "Glad to hear that. Would you be willing to return the favor later?"
Her eyes snapped open, and she playfully glared at him. "You..."
Magnus gazed at Natalia, his thoughts racing. At the dinner party earlier, he had watched her, angelic amidst the throng, and had barely restrained himself from sweeping her into his arms.
Now, finally alone, if it weren't for the care of her sore feet, he would have already ravished her without restraint.
After patiently waiting for the footbath to cool, he helped her dry off and carried the basin away.
He quickly showered and then pounced on Natalia, pinning her beneath him on the expansive bed.
Their passionate kisses rained down like a tempest.
Moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a silvery sheen over the room.
After a long series of kisses, Magnus swiftly removed the barriers on Natalia's body, revealing her delicate, tempting skin. His voice grew husky. "My love, you are stunning."
Natalia's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. She tried to cover herself, whispering, "I haven't showered yet."
"No worries, my dear. You were fresh before the banquet. I can't wait any longer," he said, taking her hand and guiding it to feel his arousal.
The touch made her skin glow with a rosy hue, like blossoming pink roses.
The mischievous Magnus then bowed his head solemnly to kiss Natalia's slender feet.
She giggled and squirmed. "Stop it, Magnus, it's ticklish! And feet are dirty!"
"Shh, don't fuss. I'm certain everything's clean," Magnus assured her, continuing his journey of indulgence.
No matter how many years passed, he would never get enough of her. She was his treasure.
