I toss her back on the bed and crawl over her, supporting my weight with my elbow.

"Just good?" I tease, kissing the spot above her breast.

She gasps softly, her muscles bunching in anticipation beneath my mouth.

“More than that… Oh God!” She gasps when my teeth graze her hardened nipple. “I… I feel… God, don't stop.”

I chuckle lightly, lifting my mouth to hers. “Now, I like the sound of that.”

I kiss her again, this time taking my time. I run my tongue over her lips before sliding into her mouth, slowly savoring the taste of her. I let my palm slide up her stomach to her breast, grazing her rock-hard nipple with my thumb.

She moans into my mouth, arching her back to press further into my palm. I guide her to the bed and make her lie down, then spread her legs and start to trail light kisses up her thighs. The scent of her instantly fills my nose, teasing the hell out of my senses.

I can feel her quivering beneath me, the sheets bunched tightly in her fingers. Gently, I slide a finger into her and she gasps loudly, unconsciously lifting her hip to meet my thrust.

Damn, she's dripping. Ready for me.

“Does it hurt?” I ask, searching her face for any sign of discomfort.

“N-no,” she replies, shaking her head. “No, just a little strange.”

I pull out slowly and slide in again, this time, brushing my thumb over her clitoris. She lets out a muffled cry, her eyes snapping shut.

“What about now?” I ask, still pumping my finger in and out of her. “Do you want me to stop?”

“No,” she musters, running her tongue over her upper lip. “No, don't stop, please.”

Oh, there's no stopping me now.

Unable to resist the temptation any longer, I place my mouth over her clit and suck lightly while my finger continues to move within her.

This time she grabs my hair as she convulses violently beneath my mouth. "Gabriel!"

I continue fucking her with my hand and mouth until her body becomes weak with pleasure. Then, I slide up and seize her mouth in a sizzling kiss that leaves us both breathless.

I lift my head to smile into her dazzling, gold-freckled eyes. “This will hurt a little, honey.”

She nods and returns my smile as if to let me know that she trusts me. My heart tightens with an indecipherable emotion at that moment.

I reach into my bedside drawer for a pack of condoms and take one out. She places her hand to stop me just as I'm about to tearthe sachet. I glanced at her face in time to see an indecipherable emotion cross her eyes.

“What's wrong, hun?”

"I, uh, started on the pill last month, so you don't need…" She trails off, averting her gaze as a deep blush spreads across her face.

The implication of her words dawn on me and I suddenly felt like a jerk.

“Oh, no, hun… That's not it. I would gladly plant my seed in you and take delight in watching it grow.”

She blushes harder and I lean forward to kiss the tip of her nose. “My God, Lily, you're so adorable. I just wanted you to feel safe, being your first time and all…”

“I do feel safe,” she says in a small voice. “With you.”

My heart skips a beat in response to her words, and everything in my world seemed to align perfectly at that moment. Right there and then, I realize I'm going to cherish this woman forever.

“I'm going in now,” I mutter, leaning forward to kiss her forehead. She nods, her lips stretching into a soft smile as she looks into my eyes.

I've never experienced such total surrender… such trust.
