Page 68 of My Heart to Keep
The coast was clear. And we certainly didn’t have the threat of her dad finding us.
She began to unbuckle my belt, watching me watch her.
Once we lost our virginity, things would change between us. It could make our relationship stronger. Or she could find out I wasn’t any good in the sex department and dump me.
Shut up,I shouted at the voice in my head.
“Maiken.” Quinn’s silky voice made me blink. “We both want this. Right?”
I lifted up to rest on my elbows, studying my gorgeous girlfriend, who suddenly had a sour expression. “More than anything. Fuck, I’ve been ready for like ever.”
She giggled. “Well, I want you.”
“Do you think it will change anything between us?”
She was still holding her bottom lip hostage. “If anything, it will bring us closer.” She began to remove her sweater, showing milky-white skin.
Suddenly, my brain shut down, and my body took over like I didn’t have any control over myself.
In a matter of minutes or maybe seconds, my gorgeous girl was in nothing but her lacy bra and panties, sitting on me, and looking like a goddess with her hair spilling down around her.
Holy hell!.
My mouth went bone dry. My body heated, and my hands had a mind of their own, rubbing a path up her abs and slowly creeping higher.
Her breathing became shallow, as did mine.
We locked eyes, a deeper connection gluing us together, one that said she was my everything and I was hers. Nothing in the world could break the bond we had.
I swore the door to my heart opened wider. I hadn’t thought I could love her any more than I already did, but in that moment, she was the most beautiful angel in my world.
I pulled her down so our bodies were flush. Our lips joined, and the nerves coursing through me quieted as we got lost in us.
Snow fell as I sat on the front porch step waiting for Celia to pick me up. She was late, and if she didn’t get there in the next five minutes, we were going to be late for our first class.
I was about to call her when my phone rang. Maiken’s handsome face brightened my screen. I hit the answer button, and FaceTime connected.
He was standing in his dorm room with no shirt on. Our unexpected intimate rendezvous the previous day flashed before me. Actually, I couldn’t sleep last night, and I hadn’t been able to eat since either. Losing my virginity was tense yet freeing. Maiken had been gentle, soft, and just as nervous as I’d been.
He grinned, his blue eyes gleaming. “Are you okay?” He’d asked me the same thing several times as we’d lain on the floor of his barn afterward.
Momma had been right. The first time had hurt, but not as bad as I thought it would. Still, I had a deeper connection with him, a love so potent that I was ready to burst.
I giggled. “More than okay. You?”
“I feel…” He ran a hand through his wild hair. He looked as though he’d just gotten out of bed. “Like I’m walking on water. I want to see you, like, right now.”
A cozy shiver blanketed me. “If I had a car, I would ditch school today and drive up to the academy.”
“So no regrets?” He lost his smile, and trepidation took its place.
I shook my head. “Absolutely not. You?” I held my breath.
He leaned into the camera. “I want to do it a thousand more times with you.”
Butterflies went wild in my stomach, and heat covered my body like a warm blanket on a snowy day. “Me too.”
He chuckled. “I got to get ready for school. I love you, babe.”
