“If I’m going to give myself away, then I want to do it with someone I love. Someone like you.”
“Out with it, Zales.”
“I’m a virgin.”
“You’ve gotta be shitting me… There’s no way…”
I opened my mouth and word vomit spewed out. “And I want you to be my first, Luke. See I made myself a New Year’s resolution that I was going to officially lose it this year. I was going to find someone to do it with but I haven’t. I’ve wanted to ask for a while now, but I didn’t think you ever thought of me like that and… well, I didn’t think you would go for it. But when you came in tonight and started demanding my body pay attention, I thought… this is perfect, ya know. You’re attracted to me. I trust and love you. I want you to do it.”
I hadn’t planned on asking him. Not until he came in here dangling the potential in front of my eyes like a carrot to a rabbit. But I didn’t know if he’d take the leap with me and that was terrifying.
His fingers pulled my chin to face him, but I looked everywhere but in his eyes. "Holy shit. You’re being serious?”
I nodded. I’d lost the words to speak.
He jumped up, running his hands through his hair. “Jesus. Why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve, could’ve made that so much better for your first time.” I shook my head, chewing on my bottom lip. “Fuck.”
“Are you angry?”
He adamantly denied it. “I’m not mad at all, Zales. Believe me… you are… wow. Let me have a minute to digest this okay?”
“Okay.” My voice was a hint of a whisper. “This won’t change anything. I just need you to go in and poke me. Like a quick one and done situation.”
“This changes everything, and fuck that. No, if I’m doing this, we’re doing it my way. With a shit ton of orgasms. I get you all night long. And I’m not going to just poke you quick and leave. I’m going to cuddle the fuck out of you afterward and make sure you’re okay. It’s just… I’ve never been with a virgin before, but I’ll make it good for you. I swear, Zales.”
My eyes grew wide. “You’ve never been with a virgin?”
“No.”
