Page 40 of Breaking Blaze

Blaze didn’t know how long Anna stood just inside the doorway, her face pale but the apples of her cheeks flushed, her eyes wide but seeing nothing. He checked the clock on the wall. Five minutes.

He remained silent, waiting for her to walk out, ask a question, tell him she changed her mind, climb him like a tree—something. Anything.

But he’d wait however long she needed. He’d already been waiting eight years.

It was obvious she was scared, and it was understandable, too. It would be her first time—and it was him. He knew he was larger than life, especially when it came to sex. But he was just Blaze. To Anna, he was just the man he’d always been…except now, he’d be her man.

“Anna, baby, we don’t have to do anything you—

“No, I want to, Blaze. I really do, I’m just….” She heaved a sigh and rubbed her hands down her thighs, making the material of her dress cling to her supple flesh. God, he couldn’t wait to have those legs wrapped around him.

He shuddered, his cock twitching to get the fuck on with it.

“Okay, what’s going on?” he coaxed, drawing closer to her until he could tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. It was her turn to shudder.

So, she was still into him—into this.

“I’m just nervous.”

“Because it’s your first time?” he asked, knowing what a big deal it was for her. That sharing that precious part of her could only be done once…and she’d chosen to give it to him.

He would treasure it forever.

“Because I’m…I’m not built like the women you’re used to, Blaze. I’m not skinny. My thighs touch, I have rolls on my rolls, my tits don’t stay perky without a bra—and combine that with the fact that I don’t know what the hell I’m doing—”

He kissed her, hard and quick.

“Let me stop you right there, Anna-love,” he objected. “I am with you.” He pressed his raging erection into the softness of her belly. “And I want you. So…fucking…bad. To me, you are more beautiful than any woman I’ve ever seen. You’re so goddamn sexy I can’t stand it. And every time I’m around you, I cannot believe how absolutely stunning you are. You are everything, Anna. The whole package. A package I want to slowly unwrap and then enjoy thoroughly. And…. I know this is your first time, and I cannot be happier about it.”

She met his gaze, surprise coloring her cheeks.

“Really?” she asked, disbelieving.

He grinned, kissing her hard once again.

“Yeah, baby. I want to be the man to introduce you to pleasure. I want to be the first—and only—man to make you come. And I damn sure want to be the first man to adore and worship you as you deserve. You’re my goddess, Anna. Let me worship you.”

She blinked up at him, her green-hazel eyes greener than he’d ever seen them.

Anna dragged in a breath and nodded. “I want that, Blaze. Please…make love to me.”

He grinned wickedly, joy and fire bursting in his chest.

“As my goddess desires,” he drawled before bending and snatching her into his arms, his arm beneath her knees and another under her shoulders.

She screamed, wiggling in his hold.

“Put me down before you break your back, you idiot!”

Blaze chuckled. “Nah, baby. You’re like a feather to a man like me.”

He hurried from the living room and into his bedroom where he laid her on his bed.

He stood back and stared down at her.

Anna is in my bed.

Finally.
