I wanted a whole lot more than this. But if she needed to take her time, I’d give her that.

I let my hands roam, starting at her thighs, moving up over her hips and her waist, stopping just below her breasts. I didn’t touch them yet—just let my thumbs brush over the soft fabric of her bra as I admired her.

When I finally lifted my gaze, she was already watching me. And in that moment, I couldn’t resist any longer. I had to kiss her.

She must have had the same thought, because she leaned down just as I tilted my chin up. Our mouths met, and as soon as I parted her lips with my tongue, she moaned.

That sound? It was everything.

Her hands traveled over my biceps, up toward my shoulders as my hands found her back, continuing to explore the curves I’d been aching to touch since the moment I saw her.

Then she moved one of her hands between us and I held my breath as her fingers wrapped around my cock. Finally, a low groan rumbled from my throat.

She didn’t let up. If anything, her strokes became bolder.

Holy fucking shit. If she didn’t stop soon, I was going to come all over her stomach.

I could stop her. Or I could distract her. Distracting her would be a better move.

Sliding my hand beneath the waistband of her underwear, I found exactly what I was looking for—slick, hot, and already swollen. Her grip faltered as I circled her clit with my thumb.

A few more strokes, and she wasn’t touching me at all anymore. Instead, her fingers dug into my arms as she rocked her hips against my hand.

I watched her, mesmerized. The way she moved, the way she gasped—she was gorgeous.

“Come for me, baby,” I murmured. “You’re so wet. You feel so good.”

Her breath hitched. “Oh, God,” she whispered.

Her body tensed. And then she shuddered. When she stilled, I had no doubt I’d just given Willow her first orgasm. The wonder in her expression, the slight tremble in her limbs, the way she looked down at me like I’d just shown her something magical…

“That was your first orgasm, wasn’t it?” I asked.

She nodded. “I tried before…you know, on my own. I guess I wasn’t doing it right.”

“You needed me,” I said, brushing my lips across her collarbone. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. There’s plenty more where that came from.”

WILLOW

This was going to hurt. It was going to hurt like hell. There was no way around it.

I took a deep breath and steeled myself. Liam was huge. I knew my first time would be painful, but I hadn’t imagined being with someone of that size.

But I’d meant it when I said I trusted him with all my heart. He’d get me through this. I could take as long as I needed and he wouldn’t judge me. Any need I had to make this better for him was on my end of things, not his.

I went a little too far and sucked in air through my teeth. I also tightened my grip on his shoulders. He’d have no doubt I was in pain from my reaction.

But when I looked down at him, his gaze wasn’t on my face. It was on the area where our bodies joined. He’d moved his fingers there, and as I watched, he began moving them over my clit. The pleasure canceled out just enough of the pain to make it more bearable.

No way could that feel good. Not like it had before. Not with what was going on in that area of my body right now.

I moved up and down on him, mostly because I felt like I needed to do something. But I couldn’t go any deeper. My movements were very shallow, only taking him in just past the tip. Someday, this was going to feel good. Someday, I’d be able to take him in all the way. Well, as far as my body would let him go, anyway. He was not only thick but long, and I doubted there were very many women who could accommodate his full length.

I got so caught up in my thoughts, I didn’t realize the pain wasn’t quite as bad, and I was going even deeper than before. I experimented with taking him in farther and regretted it immediately. But the pain quickly passed. And yeah, things were starting to feel a little warmer down there, like they had when he first touched me.

Was I still wet? I couldn’t help but wonder how long it lasted after an orgasm.
