Elaina closed her eyes and let out a whoosh of breath. She hadn’t meant to say that. But she figured he already guessed it anyway. Shit, she was only making her situation worse. He was going to shit a brick when he found out she was lying about her age. Not exactly lying.
She did know one thing. She wasn’t confused anymore. She still didn’t know if she was ready for this yet, ready for someone like him. But God, she did want him. That was for sure. His intensity be damned. She’d learn how to handle it. She had to. She hadn’t thought of anything or anyone but him for weeks now.
The temptation was going to eat her alive. He was so incredibly hot. He was temptation personified.
She squeezed her eyes shut tighter. She wanted someone like him to take her virginity. She wanted him to be the one.
She just needed some time. Some time that she knew she wasn’t going to get. She needed to make up her mind. She needed to reconcile herself to his intensity, quick-fast. He was so intense.
He wouldn’t be easy to handle.
His fingers clenched around her face and demanded an answer. “You still untouched?”
Well, now, that was a different question.
She took a deep breath and attempted to answer him. “Virgin, yes. Untouched, no.”
“How touched is touched?”
She felt a flush come over her face and couldn’t answer that question.
His hand jerked her chin up and his eyes seared into hers. “You still got your cherry?”
Elaina gasped and began shaking harder. Jesus Christ.
His voice dropped as he continued. “Answer me, Elaina.”
“Y-yes. I mean, I think so—I guess so.”
Raul learned a lot with that shaken statement. She didn’t touch herself. At least not internally. And she probably still had her cherry. He was going to find out. But not tonight. He couldn’t trust himself tonight. But he would know. He needed to know.
“Okay, now for my promise.” His eyes glittered down into hers. “I’m waiting.”
Elaina searched his eye
s. Could she promise that? Did she want to? And what about him? The question came from her mouth, “What about you?”
“I’m not a virgin.” His voice was deep, and for the first time that night, held a slight trace of humor.
Elaina’ mouth tipped in a tiny smile. “I figured. No, I mean, I’m guessing you’re telling me to have fun with my friends, grow up some, and stay a virgin for you. Do I have that right?”
“Yeah.”
“What about you? Are you going to remain abstinent for me?”
“Celibate?”
“Yeah. Does it go both ways?”
Raul studied her, wanting to hold her by the hips and sink into her so badly he thought the waiting would kill him. He thought about having another woman and quickly dismissed it from his mind. He didn’t want one. He wanted her. Only her.
He answered her swiftly. “Goes both ways.”
Elaina was stunned at his agreement and didn’t even think to question his sincerity. He was sincere. She would bet on it. “Are you serious?”
“Yeah,” he bit out.
“But—”
