Chapter Two
Jenna
I groaned as I felt the warm rays of the sun hit my face. I buried myself deeper in my bed, breathing in the intoxicating scent that permeated the room. I turned onto my other side and froze, feeling something firm and warm. I peeled my eyes open and stared at Liam’s sleeping face. I was almost in shock that we were in bed together. Slowly, everything that had happened yesterday came to mind. I blushed, remembering what happened after Liam and I had confessed our feelings to one another.
Pushing the covers away, I breathed out a sigh of relief, finding I did at least have a shirt on and it appeared to be one of Liam’s regulars. I turned back to stare at him, trying to take in every part of his face, memorizing as much as I could. He looked really cute sleeping, which I was jealous of because I knew I looked like a zombie while I slept. His face wasn’t creased with stress or anger. I wanted to run my fingers across it, but I didn’t want to wake him up. I looked past his face and down his bare chest. I was once more taken aback by how in shape he was. His six-pack was on full display. You could almost literally eat off of it. I blushed again. As I admired his partially covered chest, I bit my bottom lip, remembering what the concealed part looked like.
Twelve hours earlier…
Liam’s lips left mine as he opened the door to our room. He pulled me in after him, and before the door even shut, my back was pressed against it. His lips were once more on mine, and I almost let out a sigh. Just that second without his lips made me feel cold and empty.
His lips were firm and demanding as his body became flush with mine. My hands wove themselves in his soft, thick hair, tugging on it to get him somehow closer to me. My body felt like it was on fire and the only person who could douse the flame was Liam. I had never felt this way before; I had never felt such an ache for someone. As Liam let go of my lips to trail his down my neck, I let out a breathy moan. A part of me was scared to continue this, but the other part knew this felt right. With it being my first time, I was nervous and scared; nervous that Liam wouldn’t want to do it if he knew I had no experience whatsoever, and scared that I would do something wrong.
All those thoughts basically flew out of my mind as Liam’s lips sucked on the skin at the base of my throat. I felt like I was turning into a pile of goo as I tightened my hold on his hair and closed my eyes. Everything I was feeling was new, but I loved it. Gripping his head, I pulled him back up to my lips before wrapping one leg around his waist. I didn’t care that I was wearing a dress. I just wanted to be as close to him as I could.
“Jenna, are you sure you want to do this?” Liam asked, pulling away from me and staring down at me breathlessly. I looked up at him, thinking about what he said. Was I ready to take the next step with Liam? This was something I couldn’t undo if I regretted it. But you won’t regret it, a voice said in my head.Did I love Liam enough to do this?
I wasn’t one of those girls who was waiting for marriage to have sex, but I wasn’t one to just do it with every possible guy either. I was waiting for the right one to come along before I gave up my virginity to him. This might be your last chance, that annoying voice said once more.I bit my bottom lip, debating internally. As I stared up at Liam, his blue eyes shining down at me, I became overwhelmed with a fuzzy feeling. I knew my answer.
“Yes, I am sure.” And I was. I could tell this was something we both wanted; hell, we both needed too. There was no one I’d rather have take my virginity. I didn’t want some random guy or someone inexperienced. If I wanted this done right, I wanted someone with experience, who knew where everything was and could make this memorable. Guys didn’t get how special this was to girls. To a guy it was just a hump-and-dump, but to girls, giving their virginity away was like a piece being shared and a connection given. It was something you would always remember as you got older. Yes I could regret it, but as of right now I knew I wasn’t going to. This was something I wanted.
“Are you sure?” he asked again, uncertainty clear in his voice. I smiled up at him, feeling touched he cared so much.
“Yes, Liam.”
“You sure?” At that, I grabbed his head once more and brought his lips to mine. If words wouldn’t convince him, there were other ways. With a groan against my mouth, Liam grabbed my ass and lifted me up, making me wrap my legs around his waist. With his mouth still attached to mine, he walked us to the bedroom. My lips lost contact as he threw me down on the bed, making me yelp. I bounced twice before his body was laying on top of mine. I grinned at him, and I let my fingers run down his cheeks and jaw.
“You want to do this with me?” I asked in a small voice. I glanced into his eyes before looking at his chest.
“There is no one I’d rather do this with, Jenna. And I mean that with everything I have.” He put a finger under my chin, tilting my head up to look at him again. “I want this as much as you do.” Placing a soft, gentle kiss on my lips, he then pulled away.
“Liam, I’ve uh…I’ve never done this before,” I whispered, blushing and looking everywhere but at him. That was so embarrassing to say out loud, especially to a guy who had probably slept with more than half of the female population of New York.
“That is nothing to be ashamed of, Jenna, I am glad you haven’t,” he said sincerely.
“Really?”
“Yes, to even think you have been with anyone else makes me lose my mind. I want you all to myself,” he admitted, not once looking guilty for having said that. I couldn’t hold back my grin.
“Just…just be careful. And sorry in advance if I’m not that good.” Cue the awkward blush once more.
“That could never happen,” Liam said, leaning back down to kiss me. This time the kiss was soft and slow, instead hard and intense. I felt like I was slowly starting to fly onto cloud nine. I felt Liam’s hands move down to my bare legs and slowly drift up my thighs. I shivered under his touch. As his hands moved higher up, his mouth trailed down my neck to my collarbone. Breathing deeply, I spread my legs for him and laid my head back on the bed.
His hands stilled, and his mouth left my body as he looked up at me. With my green eyes focused on his blue ones, he grabbed the bottom of my dress and slowly started to pull it off. I sat up as he got it over my waist and put my arms up, letting him know he could continue. With a grin at me, in one smooth motion he pulled my dress off, leaving me bare, aside from my underwear.
Throwing the article of clothing over his shoulder, he gazed down at me. I felt so exposed and had to fight not to cover myself. A groan got my attention as I made myself look up at Liam. His eyes were hooded as he stared down at my naked upper body. Not wanting to be the only one with one article of clothing on, I let go of my embarrassment and stood on my knees on the bed in front of Liam. I let my hands wander up his hard stomach to his chest.
I bit my bottom lip and started to undo the buttons of his dress shirt. Liam put his hands loosely on my sides as I worked on undressing him. More and more of his skin was showing, and as I undid the last button, my mouth dried up at being so close to his abs. How he kept a six-pack, I had no idea.
I unconsciously traced my hands up his abs. They flexed under my fingers, which made me hold back a grin. My hands moved up ever so slowly until I reached his shoulders, where I pushed off his shirt. It fell to the ground at his feet, Liam never glancing away from me.
“Better,” I murmured softly. Once more catching his gaze, I put my hand on the waist line of his pants. I had no idea what I was doing; I was just going with my instincts. Liam made no move to stop me, so I unbuckled his belt with shaky hands. I unbuttoned his pants and pushed them down his legs. The moment Liam kicked them off his feet, I was being pushed back onto the bed. His warm body covered mine again, but it didn’t last long. With his lips touching my skin, he moved down my face to my aching chest, where he spent a little while.
I wilted under his touch and gasped his name. He finally let go of my breasts and continued lower. I clenched the bedspread with my fists and closed my eyes as he reached my last piece of clothing. Inwardly, I gave myself a pat on the back for making sure I wore a sexy pair of panties tonight, just in case. I held onto the bedspread a little tighter as I felt him lower my panties, then probably throw them over his shoulder. I was now completely naked in front of him. Self-consciously I started to bring my thighs together, but a pair of big hands stopped them. Liam grunted.
Squeezing my eyes shut so I wouldn’t see Liam and be embarrassed, I silently repeated to myself that it was okay and not to be embarrassed. I heard him murmur something but couldn’t make it out before I felt his fingers. From then on, my mind shut down and I let my body go free. I let myself forget about never doing this before, that Liam might not like this or me. Anything I could have thought about disappeared as I started to make sounds I didn’t think I could.
Panting, Liam crawled back up my body, leaving little kisses as he went. I peeled my eyes open and looked up at Liam, who had a wide grin on his face. I brought my hand up and into his hair.
