"Why didn't you tell me that you were a virgin?'
Heat flushes my cheeks. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious. " I fling my arm over my eyes and flatten my lips.
You have to admit it's a surprise, especially after the way you responded to me at the bar".
"So sorry to disappoint."
"You're sorry?" His tone is harsh.
I cringe and pull my shoulders back, trying to put some distance between me and him. Good intentions. But impossible, given the man is all but plastered to me. "Yeah you heard me. Sorry I am not more experienced." I mumble half to myself. "Sorry that I did not sleep with any of my fellow recruits at the Bureau, sorry that -,"
He grabs my arm and wrenches it away from my face. "Don't you dare say that and if you sleep with anyone else, I'll...I'll…" His chest heaves.
His color is high. His eyes blaze at me. He looks like... a man possessed.
A fierce emotion twists my gut. "You're angry?"
"Angry?" His voice lowers to a growl, "That’s an understatement."
I blink, trying to form my thoughts into words, then give up.
He pins back his ears which I swear have elongated further in the last few seconds.
"I am your first, do you know how that makes me feel?"
He bares his teeth and his canines drop.
"Umm, good?" My voice cracks.
"What was that?" A vein throbs at his temple.
That's not a positive sign, is it?
I clear my throat. "It makes you feel... good?"
He leans in close enough for our eyelashes to kiss, "It makes me want to tie you down and make love to you until you can't walk straight for days...” Every muscle in his body seems to go rock-hard.
"I want to fuck you until there is no other thought in my mind but you. Until I can't scent anything but the tanginess of your arousal. Until there is no skin that separates us, just a melding of the flesh, of the spirit… of ourselves-"
His words send a primal thrill racing down my spine. My breath comes in my pants. My heart beats so hard I am sure its going to jump out of my chest.
I wind my arm around his neck and strain against him. "Do it, Dante I am begging him now, but I don't care. It's not like I have anything else left to hide.
I swing my legs up and around him, then lock my ankles around his waist.
I thrust my pelvis and the angle is just right. Just correct for him to slip in an infinitesimal millimeter further.
The tendons of his throat shift. Sweat glistens on his forehead. "You are killing me, Starlight."
"I don't want you to die, " I half smile, half sob.
"I don't want to hurt you." The muscles of his shoulders solid.
He begins to withdraw, and I tighten around him.
I slip my hand down between us, to where he is still embedded inside me.
Then I cup his balls and squeeze. He shudders, his thigh muscles go rock solid. "What are you doing?"
Making sure you don't leave."
" I won't leave you, amaya." My heart stutters. The words he mutters under his breath are so foreign, so unknown. My pulse quickens.
Moisture gushes out from the core. "Promise"? I rake my nails over the rough skin of his dick.
"I never lie" He grits his teeth. "And I never repeat myself." He grabs my arm and bringing it over my head, slams it into the bed.
Then he sweeps his other hand under my waist. Raising my hips he thrust into me."
I tighten my groin and hold back. Not yet, I can't. I can't take her yet.
What are you not telling me?" She raises her gaze.
Heat flushes my cheeks. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious. " I fling my arm over my eyes and flatten my lips.
