As he deepened the embrace, Sebastian guided me backward until we reached the couch, and with ease, he lowered me onto it. The cushions shifted as he joined me. While hovering above, he made sure to give my lips as much attention as physically possible.
With a hand propping him up against the armrest, he used his free one to unzip my hoodie, exposing my skin beneath. I warmed all over due to the vulnerability, quickly realizing just how real the situation was.
When I instinctively brought a hand up to cover myself, Sebastian murmured his protest against my mouth before he murmured against me, “Don’t hide yourself from me. Please.”
Despite the stern resolve in his voice, it was veiled with pleading that gave away his true desire, words dripping with lust.
His words made my heart stammer and my ears burn as I tried to catch my breath.
Sebastian paused at the skip of my pulse and pulled back enough to look me in the eyes. His brows furrowed slightly as he gazed down at me. “What’s wrong?”
I tried to swallow back the lump in my throat, but it was no use. I couldn’t hide my lack of experience, especially not from someone as perceptive as him.
“I…haven’t done anything like this before,” I admitted sheepishly, beyond embarrassed to admit it.
However, Sebastian showed no judgment in his eyes. Instead, they softened, as did his hold on me. He searched for any kind of regret in my eyes, swallowing back his eagerness. “If you still want to—”
“I do,” I exclaimed, voice wavering slightly from the nerves. “I just need some time.”
With nothing but understanding gracing his features, he nodded. “I can go slow. Is that what you want?”
Unable to form the words, I nodded next.
The idea of having sex for the first time was daunting, especially since my inexperience made me anxious, but I knew I couldn’t ask for it to happen with anyone better.
Given how he looked at me with so much care and kindness in his eyes, I knew he was prepared to keep his word.
“Let me know if you need me to stop,” Sebastian murmured against my lips, catching them with his as his hand on my hip traced soothing circles.
I eased into the kiss again, urging myself to relax. As those sparks of pleasure moved through me because of it, I managed to find that natural groove again, and as Sebastian carefully continued to shuffle my hoodie off, I didn’t protest.
Instead, the mingling of our lips spurred that excitement within me all over again, and I helped him ease my yoga pants down. Left in only underwear, I wanted to even the playing field by lifting his shirt. Once he caught the hint, the top was tossed to the side, and his bottoms were kicked off along with them.
Sebastian’s lips were on mine again, making me so flustered I could hardly breathe. As his hand migrated between our bodies, he shifted to the side and kissed down my jaw and neck, murmuring his words of encouragement against my skin. “You’re far too beautiful to hide, Lydia. You don’t need to hold back with me.”
I shivered as he reached the crook of my neck and gently pulled my skin between his teeth before lightly sucking on it; all the while, his fingers brushed against my core, making me tense at the initial contact.
As it ebbed into nothing but pleasurable sparks, I relaxed my thighs and sighed, head dropped back against the armrest.
Sebastian’s chuckle vibrated against my neck, sending another rush of sensations through my body. It went straight to my heat in tandem with his skillful fingers over the fabric of my panties.
I moaned for him, aware of how foreign the sound was coming from my lips, but I caught as he faltered from it, letting go of a faint growl from within the back of his throat. My stomach flipped at that, and I felt myself melting even further.
Before I could react, his mouth was on mine again, splintering his attention between the kiss and his attention on my clit.
Sebastian’s pleased hum made more of that desire pool between my legs, and with ease, he moved the fabric to the side and allowed his long, dextrous fingers to explore my folds.
My breath hitched in my throat as he dipped one inside, gathering my arousal and gently getting me used to the feeling.
I swallowed hard, eyes fluttering shut all the while I soaked it in, whimpering as he repeated it again and again until he finally pushed the digit inside.
“That’s it,” he whispered against my lips, looking down at me with those dark eyes. A faint smirk pulled on his lips while he gently pumped his finger. “Relax for me.”
The tingles that moved through my body with ease made me feel lighter than the air itself. While this relief was welcome, it almost had me burning for more. I knew I needed to feel what it was like to have him completely inside me.
Between his greedy kisses, the closeness of his body, and the languid strokes of his fingers as he added another was enough to have me arching slightly away from the couch, and I couldn’t string together any logical thought.
Not that it mattered—not while he was offering me more pleasure than I had ever felt before, just from his hands alone.
