“I am.” Her thumb swiped on the tip, making his hips jerk into her hand. “And I have a few tricks up my sleeve too.”

“Christ,” he said through gritted teeth as he closed his eyes. He let the pleasure wash over him, driving him to the edge as she continued to stroke his cock with her soft, small hand. As he inched toward the precipice, he yanked her hand away. “Stop…not yet.”

Using his supernatural speed, he quickly turned her around and pressed her against the wall again. His hand snaked between her legs, fingers thrusting into her without warning. She seemed to enjoy it, however, as she began to move in time with his hand.

She was warm, slick, and so tight. He worried, for a moment, that he would hurt her. He’d never been with a virgin before, not that he ever cared about that. It didn’t matter to him now, of course, but his only thought was to make sure she would enjoy the act too.

“Come for me, Artemis.”

Another orgasm quickly ripped through her, one that had her clinging against the wall. “Such a good girl.” Turning her head around, he caught her mouth in a deep kiss. “Let’s head to the bed, shall we?”

They exited the shower stall and bathroom and made their way toward the bed. “Lay down,” he commanded.

She did as he asked, sitting at the edge and then inched upward until she was in the middle of the bed. His cock twitched at the sight of her naked, curvy body on display just for him. Her breasts full, and her nipples like hard little berries, the inward curve of her waist and the flare of her hips, the tiny blonde patch of a landing strip that barely covered her delicious pussy.

“Fuck, you’re gorgeous.” Unable to help himself, he crawled over her, covering her with his body. “I need to taste you again.”

This time, he was determined to taste every inch of her delectable body, and he did, taking his time as he began with her mouth, down her slim neck, over her shoulders. He laved each breast with attention, sucking on her nipples until she was squirming under him. He grazed his teeth over her stomach and hip bones, then once again ate her pussy until she was screaming with pleasure.

“Cade,” she sobbed. “Don’t make me wait any longer.”

He looked up from between her legs. “Then tell me what you want.”

Her cheeks bloomed with heat. “I…I want you inside me.”

“What do you want?” he repeated as he crawled over her. His cock was so hard it was painful, and he was tempted to just enter her. Patience, he told himself. He had to be patient and take it slow. Artemis was a virgin, and he wanted her to feel good. “Say it.”

“I want…” She swallowed hard as his face hovered over her. “Cade, I want you to fuck me. With your cock.”

Blood roared into his ears at her words. “Oh, I will, don’t you worry.” He planted a kiss on her mouth before reaching out to the bedside table and retrieving the items he had placed there last night while she was asleep.

“What—oh.” Her face grew even redder when she saw what was in his hands—a condom and a bottle of lube.

“I wanted to be ready, just in case.” Ripping the edge of the wrapper with his teeth, he removed the condom and slipped it on. “The lube will help.”

“Won’t I…I mean, I’m pretty wet.”

“Yes, but it’s your first time.” He flipped the top of the bottle open and placed some of the slick liquid on his fingers. “This will help make you more comfortable.” His fingers entered her,spreading the lube all over. Already, he could feel her tense. “You need to relax, Artemis.”

“I’m…trying. I’m just nervous.”

He frowned. “You can still change your mind.”

“No!” Her head shook vehemently. “I’m not changing my mind. I want this. I want you to be my first. I’ve wanted you since that first day.”

A strange warmth spread over his chest at the admission, making it difficult to breath or even speak. So instead, he lowered his head and kissed her, softly this time. His cock ached—demanded—to fill her now, but he ignored his body’s needs and focused on the moment. Their mouths moving against each other. Her breath against his. Her delicious scent mingled with his, proclaiming that they were intimately connected. That she belonged to him.

He reached down between them as he positioned himself, cock pointing at her entrance. They both tensed as the tip pushed against her. Cade grit his teeth, feeling the tightness and resistance. The waves of anxiousness coming from her were palpable, but he couldn’t stop.

“I’m sorry, I have to—” He gave one strong thrust that made her cry out. “I’m sor?—”

“No, no,” she murmured against his shoulder. “Don’t be sorry. It’s…ahh…don’t move.”

He didn’t dare make a move, not even an inch. A bead of sweat formed on his brow, but he remained still. They lay there, joined, for what seemed like an eternity, until she let out a sigh. Her hips shifted upwards.

“I think…I’m good,” she sighed. “I…you feel good.”

He nearly lost it when she clenched around him. “Artemis.” He buried his face into the crook of her neck, breathing in her mesmerizing scent. His cock pulsed inside her, and she pushed up with her hips again, urging him to move.
