Davian pushed from the bed and moved away from my body. I found that I couldn’t take my eyes off his every move as he paced the floor, his hands raking through his hair, showing his disapproval of my confession. The longer he paced, the more uncomfortable I became. Naked and completely exposed to him, his actions made me feel dirty.
I dug my heels into the mattress as I moved to the edge of the bed, surely ripping the material where my heels had dug in. Before my feet hit the floor, I heard his angry voice behind me. “Don’t move. I want an explanation.”
I wasn’t sure what kind of explanation he was looking for. It was pretty simple. No sex meant I was still a virgin. “It’s not that difficult to understand, but I will spell it out for you. I… am… still… a… virgin.”
“I’m not stupid, Reyna. How can you still be a virgin? You’re beautiful, smart, and you had a boyfriend less than a year ago.”
“Wait a minute. How did you know about Tyler?”
“I know everything about you. It’s my job.” Davian’s icy blues were on me, and I couldn’t concentrate on anything else except how gorgeous his naked body was.
I was angry, and rightfully so. “If it is your job to know everything about me, then you should have known I was still a virgin.” Pushing from the bed, I walked past him, ready to grab my dress until my inner bitch surfaced. “If it bothers you so much that I’m a virgin, maybe I should find a man who wouldn’t think twice about fucking me.”
A powerful arm came around my waist and lifted me from the floor and onto the bed. Davian’s body was towering over mine, and his eyes were even colder than before. “If you want me to fuck you, I will, but know this, I have a certain appetite, and when I bury my cock deep inside you, it won’t be gentle.”
“Then do it. I’m a big girl.”
Placing my hands above my head, Davian held them in place as he began to entered me. I could feel my body stretch to accommodate his size. As he moved, he did the opposite of what he confessed. He controlled his movements as he slowly pushed inside me. The pain wasn’t unbearable as he continued his calculated thrusts. Despite his anger, Davian never took his eyes off mine. The ice soon melted as he placed his mouth next to mine. “This is going to hurt, princess. Are you ready?”
“Just do it.”
Muffling my cry, he covered my mouth with his, and with one thrust, he pushed deeper. The pleasure was no match to the instant pain I felt. As quickly as it came, it disappeared. There were no regrets, only gratification that Davian was the one to take my virginity. It’s been said that your first time should be special. I don’t think mine could have been any more special than this.

Davian
My job was to protect Reyna, not take her virginity. My legs burned, but the pain didn’t compare to the guilt I felt after what I had taken from her. But damn it to hell if she didn’t feel good. I wasn’t the man that should have been her first. Reyna deserved a man who loved her. She deserved a man she would spend the rest of her life with. That man wasn’t me. I liked to fuck my women fast and hard. That way, there would be no room for intimacy. I learned five years ago that loving a woman only brought pain.
Ten more minutes and I would release myself from this torture. Doubling the distance to fifteen miles on the treadmill was punishment enough. My legs felt like Jello, but I couldn’t quit, not yet. One mile left, and I slowed the speed to five mph as I cooled down. My legs felt like they were going to fall off, but as I continued with a steady walk, I could already feel the burn subside.
The treadmill beeped twice, letting me know that I had completed the distance. After lowering the incline, I stepped off the machine and grabbed a bottle of water from the mini-fridge. Downing half, I grabbed the towel I had set on the workout bench and wrapped it around my neck before taking a seat on the bench. The quietness caused my mind to wander back to last night. It wasn’t enough that I took Reyna’s virginity, I had to have more. Having her tight pussy was the happiest my cock had been in a long time.
When I left the room, Reyna was still laying my bed with her hair fanned out across the pillow. It took everything I had not to have her again. When she woke up, she would regret the decision she made last night. Hopefully, the two ibuprofen I left on the nightstand would ease some of the soreness. I held back as much as I could, but the way she hugged my cock, I almost took what I needed, my way. I’m such an ass.
Pushing from the bench, I needed a shower. As I headed out of my home gym, my phone vibrated in my pocket. Looking down at the screen, Patton’s number appeared. My father gave him instructions to locate the letter written by Louise to Salko. Hopefully, he was calling me with good news. Swiping the phone icon, I knew it would make me feel a lot better if he found the letter still there. “Patton, tell me you have Louise’s letter.”
“That’s affirmative. Just like Ms. McCall said, it was in a box under her bed.”
I was glad to hear Patton confirm that he found it. “Scan the entire letter and email it to me. I need to find out for myself if there is anything in the letter that will tell us more about Salko or what happened to Louise Braxton.”
“There’s something else you should know.”
“What’s that?”
“There was something else inside the box that you might find interesting. It’s a map of Suches Loop.”
“That doesn’t seem unusual since that was where Salko and Louise were supposed to meet, according to what Reyna recalled from the letter.”
“It’s what’s written on it. I’ll scan it as well and send it over. Once you see it, you’ll understand why.”
When I hung up with Patton, our conversation ran through my mind. Once I got the email from him, I was confident that between the letter and the map, I would be one step closer to figuring out what Salko’s motive was to have a reunion with Reyna.
Heading to my room, I passed by the kitchen and couldn’t help but smell the bacon and eggs that Mika was preparing for breakfast. Opening the servants' door to the kitchen, I walked over to the counter where Mika had placed perfectly cooked bacon on a platter. Stepping behind her, I kissed her on the cheek as I stole a piece when she wasn’t looking. Damn, that woman knew how to cook.
When I opened the door to the master suite, Reyna was still asleep. It didn’t surprise me. I thought my workout would have cleared my mind, but when I saw her lying on the bed, it all came back to me. I shouldn’t have been the one to deflower her, but the thought of another man touching her made my pulse surge. She was mine, and no one else would have her.
Stripping out of my workout clothes, I welcomed the warm spray of water as it pounded against my body, soothing the soreness from the torture I had put my body through. Pressing my hands against the cold tile, I dipped my head and stared at the tile floor. Not only were thoughts about Reyna on my mind, but the contents of the letter that Louise had written to Salko were also there.
