“You look breathtaking,” I exclaim.

Ryllis’ cheeks flush, and she walks closer. She licks her lips nervously. “Would you touch me?”

Over the last couple of months, Ryllis and I have gone further than kissing. We have set a slow pace and, step by step, progressed further and further. She feels comfortable being around me topless now and likes me kissing and sucking on her nipples. We tried to sleep with each other a month ago, but it was too early, and we stopped.

It doesn’t matter to me that we go slowly and have little setbacks. Every little milestone with her makes my heart beat faster for her, and my love grows even more.

I carefully let my hands roam her body, pulling her closer to me. She straddles my hips. “I want to try it again,” she whispers. She looks away for a split second. “Only if you want to. I don’t want to disappoint you again…”

“I am not disappointed,” I say with emphasis. “I never was. The fact that you try to take all these steps means so much to me.”

Her eyes light up, and she wraps her arms around my neck. “I have never trusted anyone like I do you.”

Her words warm my heart. We’ve come so far already, and it doesn’t matter if it takes us another year to mate with each other. She already let me mark her, which shows her faith in me, and I won’t disappoint her.

She rests her forehead against mine while I let my hands wander over her body. When I fumble with her bra, she giggles. “It opens in the front.”

I draw back. “Really?”

Women have fancy stuff,Lynx says in fascination.

“Can I open it?” I ask.

She nods, sitting up so that I can reach the clasp. It opens much easier than one at the back, and soon I can tug the item away, revealing her naked breasts. Lynx and I revel in her beauty before carefully continuing our ministration. Ryllis keeps her hands on my shoulders, only letting go of me to undress. I take my time cherishing her body and trying to make her comfortable.

Shit, this reminds me. I have no idea what I’m doing either.

I did try to talk to Annie about this, which ended in the most embarrassing talk I’ve ever had. You don’t talk about this with your sister. Dad’s been trying to give me helpful advice too, which… nope… it was even worse.

Then, however, during a very long shift, I coincidentally talked to our lune; he was the one who managed to give me the most helpful advice with only a few words.

Over the past couple of months, I learned to read the signs, how she would tense up sometimes or involuntarily withdraw from me. But she doesn’t do anything like that today. When I carefully pull her panties off, she is flustered, but doesn’t stop me.

“Can you… always look at me?” she begs. “I want to see your eyes.”

I keep eye contact with her constantly, letting her get accustomed to me being fully naked too, and allowing her to touch and feel me, too, before settling on top of her. This was the point we stopped last time but, this time, she urges me to continue. I lube up my cock to make sure I won’t hurt her too much before I press my tip against her entrance, pushing into her carefully.

She presses her eyes closed. “Ryllis,” I say softly. “Look at me. We can stop anytime.”

“No.” She shakes her head, intertwining our fingers. “I want this, and I want you.”

Her approval terrifies me all of a sudden. What if I suck at this? What if I hurt her?

You are doing fine,Lynx says.Cutie doesn’t expect a porn-movie-level performance. Don’t worry. You are fine.

I listen to my instincts and my wolf. Whenever I feel her tensing up, I go back to kissing her until she relaxes again, pushing further until I can feel Ryllis’ tight walls all around my cock.

“Does it feel good?” Ryllis asks nervously.

“It’s amazing,” I breathe out, kissing her softly. “What about you? Do you hurt?”

She shakes her head. “At the beginning, it did, but now I’m fine.”

She wraps her arms around my neck. “You can continue.” She smiles. “I’m fine. You are my Steve.”

I take her at her word and start rocking my hips forward. Eventually, I let Lynx forward to have a moment with her to share our first time with our mate, and she does the same with Belle.

I don’t last too long before I feel myself cum. Ryllis moans and shudders a bit but, fortunately, doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort. We lie next to each other afterwards, and she kisses my cheek softly.
