And I wasn’t the only one turned on. His eyes were locked on mine as I sucked, and a moment later he shifted, so fast I was hardly aware it was happening, to stretch out over me.

The earth was warm under my back, warmed by the sun and the blanket. I sank into it and trailed my hands down Wolf’s bare back, scraping lightly with my fingernails.

He smoothed my hair and stared into my eyes, the moment stretching long and slow before he lowered his lips to mine.

This kiss was different. Not hungry and urgent the way it had been in the truck, at the Orpheum.

Not at first.

At first, it was languid and sensual, his tongue making slow passes through my mouth, mapping it like he didn’t want to miss a thing. I met every stroke of his tongue with my own, sliding my hands up to tangle in the damp hair at the back of his head as he took the kiss deeper.

His dick was already hard, pressing against my pussy as his mouth captured mine, the stroke of his tongue growing hungrier as we kissed.

I moved my hips out of instinct, trying to seize the fire that was burning at my core, feeling it ignite into a full-fledged inferno as the friction increased on my clit from his rigid cock.

His hands had left my face, tracing the curves of my body like they couldn’t get enough, sliding over the sides of my tits, my waist, my hips. His palms were warm on my bare legs as he smoothed over the heated skin of my thighs and calves. I felt like I would combust from the hunger beating a path through my veins. I felt it in every nerve ending of my body, a crackle of lust I was tired of fighting.

I broke the kiss and looked up at him. “Fuck me,” I said. “Please… I want you to fuck me.”

His eyes burned a fiery blue, like an iceberg on fire. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.” I didn’t want to lose my virginity to some guy in an alley. I wanted it to be Wolf, and I pushed away all the logical objections that rose in my mind, because what girl wanted to be logical with Wolf LaForte between her thighs? “More than sure.”

“You can’t take this back,” he said. “You’ll remember it.”

I knew what he meant. Didn’t everyone remember losing their virginity?

But I already knew I wouldn’t want to take it back. Whatever I found out later, Wolf and I would always have this, and that was suddenly important to me.

“That’s why I want it to be you.”

His gaze lingered on mine, then he kissed me again, long and deep, his tongue staking claim to my mouth, taking possession.

I moaned as he ground his cock into my pussy and I sensed that the guardrails were coming off. He’d been careful before, treading over my body like it was full of land mines, like he might trip any second and then there would be no going back.

But there was no caution left in his kiss, in the way his hands hungrily roamed my body, and he kissed his way down my neck and chest, then reached for the hem of my wet tank top. “Let’s get you out of these wet clothes.”

I let him strip off my tank top and got rid of my bra while he pulled off my shoes. He tugged off my shorts and underwear, laying them out to dry in the sun. Then I was naked under the summer sun, a soft breeze blowing over my skin as Wolf’s gaze raked my body.

“Fuck,” he said. Then again. “Fuck.”

I smiled shyly. I’d never been so exposed to a man before, had never had my whole body on display for someone, least of all in broad daylight. “You’re making me self-conscious.”

“You don’t have a fucking thing to be self-conscious about, sunshine.” He shook his head, like he was seeing something he couldn’t quite believe. “You’re fucking perfection.”

I took a deep breath, not wanting to ruin the moment but also wanting to make sure the air was one hundred percent clear. “I… I should probably tell you…"

I didn’t want to say it, not now when I was about to lose my virginity to Wolf, but I also didn’t want anything between us that would ruin the memory of it.

“Speak now or forever hold your peace, sunshine.”

“I… I made out with Jace before I came to the river.” I said it all at once, then covered my face with my hands.

I didn’t know what I expected, but a couple seconds later, I heard him laugh.
