"Blakely..." I moan, my body shuddering with aftershocks.
As we lay there, panting and soaked in sweat, I gently pull out and discard the used condom. Blakely's arms wrap around me, pulling me close as we share a tender, passionate kiss.
"Thank you," he whispers, pressing his forehead against mine.
"Thank you for trusting me," I reply, my heart swelling with love for this incredible man who has chosen to share his first time with me.
As the night falls around us, we drift off to sleep, wrapped in each other's embrace.
CHAPTER19
BLAKELY
The sun is barely up, casting a soft light upon the room. Despite it being fall, there's a warm, gentle breeze coming through the window. I'm still on cloud nine from last night.
Brock was so tender and patient when he took my virginity.
Considering all those bullshit rumors that plagued him, I didn't expect him to be so gentle, but none of that matters now. He loves me, and the way he took me for the first time proves it.
My teasing mood bubbles up inside me like champagne as I glance over at Brock. He's fast asleep, his chiseled muscles relaxed, and his full lips slightly parted. My entire being expands with love for him, and I know I have to do something naughty to celebrate our newfound intimacy.
"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty." I poke him gently in the ribs. He stirs, groaning sleepily, and rubs his eyes.
Am I being a little annoying?
Nope.
Not a damn chance in hell.
I mean, some might say so, but that’s not how I think about it.
I say you can never be annoying the morning after you've lost your virginity.
"What time is it?" Brock groans, rubbing his eyes. He glances around the room, then hides his face with a pillow.
"Early. But I couldn't wait any longer to start our day."
"Ugh, you're such a dork," he snickers, but I can tell he's amused.
"Come on, sleepyhead. There's an adventure waiting for us outside." I grab his hand and pull him out of bed.
"Outside?"
"Huuuuuurry."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Bullshit, you're not. We're going to run through the meadow behind our dads' house buck naked and then kiss in the morning sunshine."
"I'm having a nightmare, aren't I," Brock says blandly.
"If that's what you need to tell yourself to get out of bed, sure."
"Fine, fine, I'm up." Brock stretches his arms above his head and yawns, then looks at me with a lopsided grin. "You're really serious about this naked adventure, huh?"
"Absolutely. Last night was so amazing, and I want to celebrate our love in the most carefree way possible."
"Alright, I'll admit it's a pretty wild idea, but if it makes you happy, I'm all in."
