I took my time, licking, sucking, and teasing him until he whimpered, hips rocking back and forth.

The more he lost himself to the moment, the more it turned me on. He looked at me like I was some kind of goddess and I felt empowered, beautiful, and sacred.

“Please, starlight. I want more. Give me all of you.” He pleaded and I let go of his cock with a pop, searching his eyes for any hesitation and found none.

“I want this. Stop questioning me, Aurora. If you don’t want this, then stop. But I am telling you that I want this more than life itself. I want you.” he said, a hint of a growl in his voice, and something inside me shifted. Kenji was right. I had to stop treating him like a boy when he wasn’t. He was a man and he had stepped up, claimed me in a way that was hot as hell, and changed his entire world for me.

I slowly crawled up the length of his body, kissing as I went until goosebumps covered his skin. I hovered over him, gripping the base of his cock and rubbing the head against my entrance, coating it in my desire.

“Gods. Please, Aurora.” He begged and I leaned down to kiss him as I slowly lowered myself onto him. His hands gripped my hips, fingers flexing in my skin as he moaned, low and masculine until I was fully seated on him.

“Fuck, starlight. Fuck.” he said, looking at me with awe. I smiled, sitting up so he could see all of me, and began to rock.

I watched as his eyes darkened, lust taking him, and he reached up to cup my breasts, fingers tentatively rubbing over my nipples.

His hands trailed over all of me, touching like I was a fragile work of art, eyes wide with wonder as I continued to rock against him, letting him adjust to the feeling of being inside me.

“Please. Ride me, starlight. I won’t last much longer, and I desperately want to hear those moans I hear at night come from your lips while you are on me.” His hunger flashed, the primal man inside taking over as he gripped my hips, guiding me to move.

I shifted, riding him in long strokes as I took one of his hands, guiding it to my clit.

“Rub me here, Kenji, and I’ll come for you.” I said, voice hoarse as he did as I said. His touch was gentle at first, exploring my body before I gasped and guided his other hand to my breast.

“You can be rougher. Pinch my nipple while you continue to rub my clit.” Instructing him was a turn-on, especially when he did exactly as I said.

I moved faster, riding him harder, and watched the way he studied me like a work of art. My orgasm was soft, and gentle and yet it flowed through my entire body as I cried out, head tossed back with pleasure.

“Oh god. You’re so tight on my cock, starlight. I can’t… I’m not going to last.” He groaned, thrusting into me as his own orgasm took him, cock pulsing inside me.

His head fell back on the pillows, hands resting on my thighs as he took a long, gasping breath. When he opened his eyes, he grinned.

“Well, that was the most amazing experience ever!” He laughed and I couldn’t help but join him, climbing off him to lie down at his side.

He rolled over, head resting on his hand as he studied me.

“Tell me we can do that again. Tell me it wasn’t just this once as some kind of pity fuck. I meant what I said, Aurora. I want to be with you. I want to prove to you that I can be worthy.” I turned over, silencing him with a kiss.

“Kenji. Stop. I promise you that we can do this again. Thank you for letting me be your first and I promise you that I will never see you as anything but a man who is already worthy. I don’t know what this is, or where it will lead us, but I made my choice by staying here. I am not going anywhere.” He nodded, flopping onto his back, and reached for my hand.

“Good. That’s good. Is it normal to feel so tired after that? Because I feel like I just got hit by a tranquilizer.” He huffed out a breath and I grinned, kissing his cheek.

“Yes. That’s normal. We can nap, Kenji. Then we can discuss what this all means moving forward.” I said as I tugged the blanket down and climbed in. He got in the other side with a contented sigh and pulled me against him.

I knew the moment he was asleep when his breathing deepened, and I tried to let myself rest too. I hoped I hadn’t made a mistake. My feelings were still in a weird place, this wasn’t what I expected at all and yet I couldn’t deny the way it just felt right.

There was no regret, no sense of doom or awkwardness as I studied his face, peaceful in sleep.

I had to trust my instincts and right now they were telling me that Kenji was always meant to be a part of my life.

Chapter nineteen

Kenji

“Keepyourfistsupto protect your face.” Luca said as he held up the pads for me to swing at.

“Good. Swing from the hip. You have more power that way.” Eric said from the sideline as I jabbed the pads, sweat dripping down my face.

“Okay. Enough. Get some water.” Eric folded his arms, watching us with a keen eye as Luca slapped me on the shoulder.
