She tugged on my hair, and I nearly came undone. I wanted this woman more than I wanted my next fucking breath.
Moving my hand up the side of her body, I felt her shiver. My hand cupped her breast, and she ripped her mouth from mine. Both of us panted as I dropped my mouth and kissed her exposed cleavage.
“Oh, God, Lucas.”
“Do you like that?” I asked, running my tongue along her bare skin. When I pulled it down, and her breast popped free, I groaned at the site of her nipple. My mouth covered it and sucked and teased it as she writhed against my body.
“Oh, my God,” she gasped, her hands back in my hair. “More.”
Smiling, I moved my hand under her skirt and slipped it into her panties. The moment I felt her wetness, I groaned and buried my face in her neck.
“You’re so wet.”
“Yes!” she hissed as she pulled my head back and kissed me.
My finger slid easily through her lips, and I nearly dropped to my knees when I slipped it inside. She was so fucking tight with just one finger.
“Hollie,” I gasped as I broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. “I want you.”
She nodded. “I want you too.”
“We should… I mean… Should we talk first?”
Something moved across her face, and she started to chew nervously on her lip. “What did you want to talk about?”
“I mean, I don’t know. I just don’t want you to think the only thing I care about is taking you to bed. I mean, I want to take you to bed, believe me.”
“Your ribs?” she asked, a look of concern on her face.
“They’re fine. Are we going too fast? Should we slow down?”
She shook her head. “No, but there is something I have to tell you.”
A strange feeling hit my chest, and I panicked that she was going to tell me something bad.
“Okay, what is it?”
She smiled the sweetest smile, and I could see her cheeks turn red. I had already pulled my hand out of her panties, and I moved it behind her neck, tilting her head up so she was looking me in the eyes. “Tell me, Hollie.”
“I’m… I’m… I’ve never… I’ve… Well, I’ve never…”
Her voice trailed off, and I moved her leg off me and took a step back. Whatever she was about to tell me, she was nervous about it.
Taking her hands in mine, I kissed each one. “Tell me.”
Her lips were pressed together in a tight line before she opened her mouth slightly, cleared her throat, and said, “I’m a virgin, Lucas. I’ve never had sex or really been past second base with anyone. You’re the first man to even touch me…there.”
My eyes went wide as I took another step back. “How is that possible? You’re beautiful, Hollie! You’ve dated guys before. Surely, you’ve…”
It was in that moment, it hit me. I’d never seen her date anyone for very long. A few dates and that was it.
“Why?” I asked.
She shrugged. “I wanted to wait for the man I…loved.”
It felt like God himself had come down from heaven and struck me with a lightning bolt. Had she been waiting for me?
Okay, wait. That was pretty fucking arrogant on my part.
“You probably think it’s stupid, and I’m sure you’ve been with your share of women, but sex to me always felt like it was so personal. I wanted to share it with someone I knew I could give my heart to.”
“And the guys you dated? None of them…?”
Her eyes looked up and met mine. “I didn’t know it at the time, and to say I was saving myself and waiting for you would be a lie. But I think, deep down in my heart, I wanted them all to be you.”
My heart felt like it had grown a hundred times bigger. “And you want to be with me?”
“Yes. Now. If you can, with your ribs and all.”
A strangled laugh slipped free. “Trust me, I can. I’m not sure I deserve this gift, Hollie.”
Tears filled her eyes. “The fact that you just called my virginity a gift… I would say you do.”
Taking her hands in mine, I walked backward as I guided her through the house. “We’ll go slow.”
“For your ribs,” she replied with a wink.
“Yes, doll, for my ribs.”
Once we got into my bedroom, I walked over and turned on the side lamp. “Do you mind?”
She shook her head.
“Good, because I want to explore every inch of your body, Hollie.”
Her eyes flickered with anticipation as she whispered, “Okay.”
I walked up to her and ran my fingers along the bottom of her dress. Two rows of ruffles lined the bottom of it, and my dick jumped in my pants as I remembered how wet she was.
“Will you wear this again for me?”
“Do you like it?” she asked.
