He swallows hard, his jaw clenching as he stares at me. Then he places a kiss on the inside of my knee, making heat lick up the entirety of my leg. “I don’t deserve to be sitting at the feet of an angel like you, my Cecilia, but I’m taking you anyway. You’re so damn beautiful.” He looks up at me again, his eyes penetrating me like warm steel. “Say yes to me.”

My heart unravels at the sight of him bearing himself to me on his knees, like I was his salvation. He was mine, too. From the moment I met him.

“Yes.”

He stands now, looming over me with wickedness that had my toes curling. “Lay back on the bed.”

I do as he says, lying down flat on my back. He leans over me, his hands smoothing up my thighs and slowly pushing my legs apart. He pushes me further up the bed and prowls after me as he does. Seeing him like this makes my stomach dip and myheart leap into my throat. Feeling hunted by him was the most exciting kind of torture.

“I’m going to be careful with you tonight only because it’s our first time, and I’ve also been shot,” he says casually. I hated how his statement didn’t even make me bat an eye, but I was too turned on to give a damn right now.

He yanks my legs apart, spreading me to him as he kneels between my legs, curling his fingers into the hem of my panties and shredding them right down the middle. I was hoping he’d do that again. It was really hot.

I don’t even get a chance to prepare myself, though, because as soon as my panties are gone, he drops between my legs, his tongue licking a lazy stripe up my clit.

“Oh my god,” I yelp, my body bucking on the bed. He claps an arm over my stomach like a freaking handlebar and holds me down in place as his tongue devours me again. I moan in pleasure, a greedy pull building in my stomach, ready to rip me apart as he lashes me like a vicious beast with his tongue.

“Mhmm,” he growls, pressing his tongue harder against me. The vibrations of his moans and the fact that he was moaning at all just by being down there had that feeling in my stomach, ready to explode.

“Yes, James,” I moan. “Please, I’m so close.” Then he kisses me. His lips kiss my clit, then suck it into his mouth before kissing it again, and I see stars. I come wildly, my heart pumping hard and blood singing through my body like wildfire.

He leans up now, swiping his hair back with his right arm, which he shouldn’t be able to move. He shouldn’t be doing any of this right now, which makes him all the more sexy.

“That was,” I pant desperately, “That was amazing.”

He chuckles. “You say that like it’s a surprise.”

“It is. It was… I’ve never... no one has ever?—”

“Cecilia,” he rasps hoarsely. “Are you telling me I’m the first man to have tasted you?” I nod nervously, feeling my cheeks blush. “Fuck me,” he groans. “Spread your pussy for me again, babe. I need to be inside you right now.”

I part my legs, anticipation humming through my veins as he slides his sweatpants down his thighs. His cock is long and thick and hangs between his legs like a whole third leg.

“Holy fuck, that’s going to break me in half.”

“We’ll take it nice and easy tonight, baby. Get comfy on it because when I fuck you after tonight, it’s going to be anything but gentle.”

“You know how to make a girl feel better.”

“Oh, I’m about to right now.” He grins, angling the head of his cock at my entrance. He slowly pushes the tip inside, and it’s like white heat fills my body and vision as he spreads me open so far.

“Oh my—” My words are strangled as he pushes in halfway, stretching me open and nearly filling me whole. The burn was so good that I was already desperate for more of him. All of him.

“Can you take it all?” he rasps, his teeth grinding together as he slides in another inch.

“Yes,” I beg. “Please just give it to me already.”

“Fuck yes,” he groans, pushing himself in to the hilt. An unrecognizable strangled noise rips from my throat at the fullness of him inside of me. “Good girl,” he moans, brushing my hair off my face. He slides out a little and pushes back in, making me hiccup in pleasure. “You look so fucking good, so full of me. Finally,” he growls, pulling out all the way now and slamming back into me.

“Yes. Just like that,” I moan, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling his chest down onto mine. He thrusts in and out of me, his mouth finding any spot it can. My neck,my breasts, my jaw. Kissing me everywhere and filling me completely. I never wanted to feel anything else but this.

“So perfect,” he growls into my skin. “So fucking mine.”

“Yes. I’m yours, James. Please,” I beg, that tugging feeling in my core threatening to rip me apart again, but this time it’s more desperate and urgent.

His thrusts become quicker and hit deeper. His voice is more strangled. Desperate. “Say it again. Say you’re mine.”

“I’m yours,” I nearly scream with zero hesitance. “Please. I need you to so bad.”
