"Comfortable?" Edgar asked after he placed Alessandra down on the bed.
Alessandra nodded her head, feeling more relaxed in the privacy of their room. They were home alone right now but there was no predicting when anyone would somehow show up so she did not wish to be in an awkward position with Edgar.
Alessandra sat on the edge of the bed while Edgar kneeled down before her. His facial expression was different than it was earlier. It reminded her of when they were in the water and he kept looking at her breasts. Perhaps, this was the look he had when he wanted her? She made a mental note for the future so she could act upon it when he wanted to be intimate.
"Should I or…" Edgar trailed off, wanting to see if she would be willing to take off the night dress herself as it would entice him even more. He would be more than happy to do it himself if she could not.
