She shook her head. “Probably not.”

His lips hovered just over hers as he said, “You’ve just given me another goal.” Then he kissed her. His mouth devoured hers, enticing her to participate and, when she did, his tongue mated with hers, showing her exactly what their bodies could do for each other. All the while, his hands were pulling down the hidden zipper of her dress and letting it fall to the floor. As much as Zayed wanted to survey her soft curves in the lacy bits of nothing that he’d selected this morning, he also wanted to show her that sex and intimacy weren’t to be feared. He wanted to demonstrate that this kind of activity could be fun and passionate. And definitely not painful.

When her dress was off, he lifted her into his arms, then carefully set her down in the middle of her bed, shifting her braid out of the way. With deft fingers, he tugged on the band that held her hair back, then sifted his fingers through her silky locks. When she moaned, he continued, using the sounds from her to guide his hands.

But after several strokes of her hair, he couldn’t ignore the allure of her breasts. Looking down, he noticed that the pink lace perfectly cupped her breasts, but the nipples peeked out just over the top of that lace, making his mouth water to taste those perfect peaks.

When his mouth moved over her nipples, his tongue teasing, his teeth nipping, she arched against his mouth while her hands moved from clutching the bed covers, to tangling in his hair. Zayed enjoyed the way she tugged at his hair, adding a bit of spice to the moment. But he wasn’t ready to be pulled away from those breasts. They were perfect! The small nippleswere puckered, silently begging him to suckle them. And when he did, she cried out, her legs sliding against his hips and providing a perfect space for his own hips to enjoy.

Zayed absorbed her gasp of surprise into his mouth as he shifted against her, pressing his abdomen against that sensitive nub. He could feel her reaction to the movement, so he did it again. And again. Slowly, he felt her hips move in time to his and after only moments, she cried out with surprise. While his mouth teased her nipples, he continued to shift against that nub, needing to hear that cry again.

“Zayed!” she gasped, her hips lifting with almost frantic desperation.

But that wasn’t enough. He wanted to give her more than just lust. He wanted her to experience the bliss of making love.

So he moved lower, kissing his way down her stomach, smelling her arousal. The scent was intoxicating! Honing in on that scent, he moved even lower, shifting her legs so that his shoulders fit between her thighs.

With her spread out before him like this, he could see everything. The glistening folds of her arousal was beyond enticing. Licking his way inward from her inner thigh to that pink heaven, he enjoyed her soft sighs and her growing excitement. When his mouth finally covered that nub, he slipped a finger into her body, stroking her from within while his tongue did the same to the external nub. He brought Tara closer to that pinnacle and….just when he was about to pull away, she cried out, her inner muscles clenching tightly around his finger and he felt a surge of lust so overwhelming, he could barely see straight as he felt her climax for the first time.

After soothing her back down, he reached into the pocket of his slacks to grab protection. Since Tara hadn’t ever considered having sex with a man before, he was certain that she wasn’t on contraception. Rolling the condom down over his shaft, he watched as Tara came back to the present. Her soft lips curled into a completely satisfied smile and he groaned, his erection becoming even harder at the sight.

“That was…better than expected,” Tara commented.

Zayed moved over her, bracing his hands on either side of her head. “It’s not over yet,” he warned her. With one hand, he reached down and lifted her knee up so that her hips were once again cradling his body.

“This is going to hurt, isn’t it?” she whispered, her eyes wide with fear now.

“No, it’s not going to hurt because you’re going to guide me into your body so that I know how deep to go.” He moved his hand down over her outer thigh, soothing her with soft caresses designed to ease her nervousness. “You’re in charge, Tara. Just show me what your body tells you it needs.”

He placed both of her hands on his hips. “Remember, you’re in charge. If you want to stop, we stop. Understand?” he asked, his voice a husky tone now.

“Yes.I understand.”

“Good.” He nodded, clenching his jaw tightly as he pressed just the tip of his shaft into her heat. Before she could worry, he pulled away, waiting for her hands to guide him. When he felt her pulling him closer, he eased into her slick folds again. This time, she urged him a bit deeper and he nearly lost his mind at the tight fit of her body as it clenched around his erection.

“More,” she whispered, staring dreamily into his eyes. The worry seemed to be gone, but there were still soft tremors in her legs. She lifted her hips this time, inviting him deeper still. But then her fingers pushed him out. What she didn’t realize was that she was stroking just the tip of his shaft…the most sensitive part of him.

This time, she took him deeper. It was Zayed who pulled out, then moved slowly into her sheath again, deeper this time.

It took several minutes of this before he came to the evidence of her virginity. Since he’d never been with a virgin before, he wasn’t exactly sure how to break through. And he knew that was going to hurt her. He’d give anything to stop that from happening. Cradling her as gently as possible, he looked down into her eyes. “This is it, Tara. Are you sure?”

“Yes!” she whispered, bringing her legs up higher. “Do it!”

He pressed deeper into her heat and…he was fully embedded into her body. Zayed stilled, waiting for her shock to dissipate. Her smile came faster than he would have anticipated. And it was lovelier than he could have imagined!

“That wasn’t nearly as bad as I’d been told,” she announced in an awed whisper. She wiggled her hips, completely unaware of how good that felt for him. “I like this!”

Zayed threw his head back, trying to regain a bit of control. The way she was squirming, he could climax immediately! But he wanted this to be good for her. He wanted to give her all the pleasure in the world. So he forced himself to pull back, then thrust deeply into her heat. Again and again, he thrust into her, holding back his pleasure as he watched her face light up with surprise, then excitement. Then frustration. He knew what was happening and reached down between theirbodies. They were slick with sweat now. He pressed his thumb against that nub and continued to thrust into her. Within moments, Tara cried out, shuddering with another climax as she clung to him. And that was all it took for him to release his control and bury himself in her heat, roaring with the release of his orgasm as he drained into her tight, beautiful body.

Chapter 26

A long time later, Zayed lifted his head up and looked down at Tara. There was a smile on her face that…hell, seeing her satisfied expression made his body start to harden all over again.

“I’ll be right back,” he whispered into her ear, then kissed her cheek and walked into the bathroom. That’s when he noticed that the condom had broken. Looking down at the prophylactic, his mind froze at the possible repercussions. Then he thought of Tara, ripe and joyful with their child, and his tension dissipated. No, he didn’t want to pressure Tara into having children right away. But nor would he mind if that happened. He’d love to marry her and have a dozen children with her!

Okay, perhaps not a dozen. Four. Maybe five.

He’d have to ask her how many children she wanted. Since she’d bear the burden of carrying their children, Tara had to make the final decision.
