Page 35 of Marriage Bargain with His Innocent
‘I’m not,’ Georgina lied.
‘Now who’s telling fibs? You’re tensing up. I can feel it.’
‘I’m not what you’re used to. Physically.’
‘So you’ve already reminded me—and, no, you’re not,’ Matias responded with honesty. ‘But I say that as the greatest of compliments. I like your body...so sexy...a man could lose himself in your curves... I can’t begin to tell you just what I want to do to you...’
‘I’m not experienced...’
‘I’m not looking for experience.’
He couldn’t hold off any longer and he covered her breast with his hand, played with her stiffened nipple, rubbing it and feeling it pucker between his fingers. He was so close to having an orgasm just from touching her like this that he was seriously shocked.
‘Matias...’
‘Shh...’
‘I’ve never done this before,’ Georgina said in a rush, and Matias went completely still.
She held her breath and wished that she could yank that admission right back into her mouth and bury it. She wanted him more than she’d ever thought it was possible to want anyone, but was he going to want to make love to a virgin?
She’d never given a huge amount of thought to the fact that she’d never slept with a man. She’d never been the sort of girl to be seduced by the thought of sleeping around. Then, when she’d met Robbie, she hadn’t wanted to rush into bed with him. It had been important to her to take her time. She’d been pleased that he hadn’t tried to force her hand. She could see now that he just hadn’t been as attracted to her as she’d hoped, and vice versa. They’d both jumped into something for the wrong reasons. But now...
‘When you say...?’
‘I haven’t done this before. Robbie and I...’ She faltered in embarrassment and looked away, but Matias gently turned her so that she was looking at him.
He rolled onto his side and manoeuvred her onto hers so that they were facing one another. ‘But you were a serious item...’
‘I know,’ Georgina said in a small voice.
She wished she’d never opened her mouth now. Because would he haveguessedthat she was a virgin? She could have pretended...bitten back any cries of pain if it hurt when he entered her. Judging from what she could see, he was impressive when it came to size. She felt like an idiot.
‘No sex... That should have been the writing on the wall for you...’
‘It’s notalwaysabout sex,’ Georgina protested helplessly.
‘Oh, but it really is. And after Robbie...? Was there no one who could tempt you between the sheets?’
Georgina squirmed. ‘I’ve been busy,’ she muttered, her face as hot as a furnace and as red as a beetroot. She took a deep breath and gave him an out clause. ‘I’ll understand if you don’t want to proceed any further.’
‘What are you talking about?’
‘You’re used to stunningly beautiful women who would have lost their virginity in their teens...’
‘I’d be your first...’ Matias said, with a certain amount of wonder. He felt a surge of desire, a naked, raw craving rush through him in a tidal wave. ‘I’m going to be honest with you...’
‘Of course,’ Georgina said miserably.
‘I haven’t been so turned on in my entire life.’
He was swept by the uncomfortable thought that a woman with no experience, a woman with romantic notions, might likewise be a woman with a heart waiting to be broken. But then he remembered how vehement she had been in her conviction that he wasn’t her type, and how readily she had accepted the rules of this game, and the errant moment of unease was gone.
This was a flash in the pan. A really thrilling, rush-of-adrenaline flash in the pan. Forbothof them. It would burn out, they would go their separate ways and that would be that. She would meet her Mr Right in due course. If she lost her virginity to him then she would be in good hands—because he would be gentle with her. Many wouldn’t. Furthermore, theyknewone another. They had history.
‘Really?’ Georgina asked.
‘Really—and enough talking.’
