Before I can reach for it, my hand is blocked by James cupping my breasts gently. The way he squeezes and caresses my skin makes my inner thighs tingle and my teeth sink into my bottom lip.

“Stop biting that lip.” His voice has turned into a low growl that sends tingles straight through me. “It’s mine now.”

He catches my mouth against his in a kiss filled with pure fire. This possessiveness is something I didn’t know I craved. Maybe it’s because he’s such a good, kind man that hearing him lose a bit of control is a deliciously wicked contrast.

I can no longer ignore the thick shaft bobbing between us, brushing against my belly. Reaching down and dragging my palm slowly along its length, I’m surprised at how warm it is.

The deep shudder that runs through him fills me with pride. Do I really arouse him that much? As much as he arouses me? I release him to move my hand around his hip, squeezing his firm butt. Then I choke back a whine as his fingers slide between my wet folds.

“So wet for me,” he groans. “Is there a chance you might want more than my fingers tonight?”

Grasping the base of his huge, thick shaft, I nod. “Yes. God, yes.” A flash of hesitation overtakes his eyes until I whisper, “I’ve been on the pill for a year. You know, just in case.”

His gaze relaxes. “Smart girl.”

I suddenly feel tiny against his huge, strong body. In a strange way, it feels right. Makes him feel even more like my protector.

The planes of his well-muscled shoulder and arm shift as he drops his hand to dip deeper between my legs. I’ve never had my attention completely absorbed by a man before. Every rough breath. The scrape of his short beard against my cheek as he nuzzles against me. His thick, blunt finger as he circles my clit teasingly before dipping slightly inside.

We both shudder, then my thumb sweeps against the round tip of his cock. There are a few drops of moisture already, proving how badly he wants me.

“So sexy,” he murmurs.

It’s true. James makes me feel sexy in a way I never have. And makes me feel like anything is possible with this incredible man at my side.

He gives me a questioning look before rubbing his finger against my clit, making me melt. “I want you,” I whisper.

“You sure, baby?”

From the way his finger has only dipped partway inside me, I’m guessing he knows I’m a virgin. It’s thoughtful of him to be extra careful, but I’m done with that. I’m ready to feel everything. “Three thousand percent.”

Breathing in his fresh, woodsy scent, I stretch out underneath him as James moves slowly above me. Who knew that I would enjoy the feeling of being completely covered by his warm skin? A flutter runs through me as I feel the weight of his cock on my lower belly. It already feels damp and achy between my legs, as I crave his touch, excited for more.

“So beautiful,” he murmurs softly, smoothing my hair out of my face. “Never thought I’d find myself a smart, funny, artsy girl, who for bonus points is also breathtakingly gorgeous.”

If I were standing, my knees would have just legit buckled.

My hand runs along his side as James takes hold of his shaft, nudging my thighs apart with his knee before stroking through my center with the thick round head.

The dreamy feeling is suddenly spiked with a jolt of reality. This is happening. Real. The look in his rich brown eyes is nothing but sweetness and… It’s way too early to think about the wordlove, but there’s no other word for the way he moves so tenderly, caressing me as he nudges his skin against mine, circling my clit with the head of his cock before sinking slightly lower.

I’m not embarrassed by how wet I am, even though I’m probably creating a mess on his sheets. His eyes roll back with a groan. “This soft little pussy is soaking for me. Is this where you want me, baby?”

My fingers curl around his biceps as I lift my hips, encouraging him to sink deeper.

“That’s it,” James rasps. He’s staring into my eyes so intensely that I feel a wave of heat rush through me. Even though he’s barely an inch inside, I feel stretched open. Raw. And so grounded in my body I simply can’t stop moving.

He grins seductively, eyes dark and hungry as he brings a fingertip to my clit, dragging my juices across my bare flesh.

My breasts brush against his hard chest, my ankle curling around his calf as my entire body tenses. He already knows exactly how to make me come, after our intense practice session last night. But now, with his cock partially inside me, his body over mine, and knowing what’s going to happen in just a few moments… Everything lets go. And I mean everything. My climax surges through me like molten metal being poured, and everything else in my world dissolves.

Clutching James against me, I kiss him frantically as I come in his arms.

Even though this is just the beginning, it’s opening the floodgates to all sorts of possibilities. Like the fact that I want to be his girl. Want to stay here with him. Want to give in to this unbelievable desire.

Want to be his.
