“I know what I fucking agreed to.”
My stomach clenches, hating the tension. “The arrangement is off. I’m not doing this if either one of you is uncomfortable. We’ll find another solution.”
“The agreement isnotoff.” Felix scrunches his hair, frustrated but working hard to compose himself. “Probablybest Tyler caught you. I can’t be trusted to be gentle for your first time. I’ll enjoy my loser’s prize.”
I gulp, knowing the loser’s prize must be something big if Felix is willing to settle for it. “What’s the prize?”
Felix steps closer, grips my jaw, and kisses me. He murmurs against my lips, “I’ll tell you later. Don’t want to scare you off.”
Whatever it is, I want it. I want him. “Are you sure you’re okay with me and Tyler?” I press myself closer to Felix, slipping my hands into his hair and deepening the kiss.
He grabs my ass, pressing me to his dick. “Yes. It’s areallygood loser’s prize.” Felix lets go of me and looks at Tyler. “Fuck her soon, bro. I don’t have much patience left in me.”
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
HARPER
The heart of the maze has an eerie quietness in the dying sunlight. All I hear is wind threading through leaves and the hammering of my heart. It feels as though the hedges are breathing with me, alive and watching, and have been waiting years for this moment to unfold. My legs clench at the thought of what me and Tyler are about to do within the walls of this maze.
There’s something primal about this place. It’s wild and forgotten, like it exists outside of time. Shadows loom. The cool October breeze sends a chill down my spine.
Each time my mother found out I’d snuck in here as a child, she told me I was naughty. Her scolding filled me with shame. Yet some strange part of me enjoyed being naughty, especially when it was with Tyler and Felix.
Now, I’m about to lose my virginity within these hedges and I can’t think of a more perfect place. I don’t want a candlelit bedroom and soft sheets. I want dirt beneath my knees and leaves tangled through my hair. I want to give myself over to the wildness of this place and let Tyler have all of me.
From the dark look in Tyler’s eyes as he pulls his hoodie off, I know he wants the same.
His torso glistens with a thin sheen of sweat in the fading light. Without taking his eyes off me, Tyler tosses his hoodie aside, then steps out of his pants. My mouth goes dry at the sight of his naked body, his muscles so strong and defined. He’s ready for me. The head of his cock is covered in pre-cum, and I’m aching for him to fill me with it.
“You’re nervous?” he asks.
I shake my head and whisper, “Not at all.”
Tyler stalks toward me like he wants to devour me. I’m more than ready to let him. He cups my face in his hands, tilting my head back, and strokes my cheeks.
“I’ve wanted this for so long, baby. So fucking long. It’s you and me.”
“Always,” I complete our saying with a shaky breath, pressing up on my toes to kiss him.
Tyler pulls my dress over my head and unclips my bra. I shiver as the cool air touches my nipples. He kneels in front of me, lowering my panties. I told him last night I’m on the pill. There’ll be no barrier between us. We’ll be the closest two people can ever get.
Tyler lowers himself to the grass, pulling me onto his lap and wrapping my legs around his waist. “We’re going to take this nice and slow. It might hurt at first. You sink onto me at your own pace.”
I gulp, knowing this is it. We’re finally here. I’ve known him forever. We’ve been through everything together. The good and the bad. It feels right that he’s the one to take my virginity. I want to give all of myself to him.
My hands rest on Tyler’s shoulders and I rise onto my knees, peering down between us to line up his cock withmy entrance. Moving slow, I lower onto him, taking deep breaths to work through the new sensation of being filled.
“You okay, Harp?” Tyler groans. It’s such a deep and rough sound. He’s trying to be gentle, but I can feel the struggle within him as his fingers dig into my hips.
I meet his gaze. Our eye contact sends tingles all through me, seeing the pleasure and heat within him. But above all else,love. He adores and worships me. I love him beyond measure.
Kissing Tyler, I lower a little more, needing to be filled with his thickness. But my movements are too eager and I wince at the sudden sharpness of him stretching me.
Tyler takes care of me, kisses my nipples and rubbing my clit to ease the pain. “Don’t rush. We’ll make it fit. You’re already doing so well.”
He’s being patient, but I can hear the strain in his voice and know he’s using every ounce of willpower to not thrust up into me.
Desperate to get the sting over with, I push down all the way, crying out with pain as his entire length fills me.
