I let her eyes explore my body, watching as she bit her lip before that beautiful gaze met mine again.
“I need you to tell me if you need to stop. If I do anything that?—”
She cut me off, stepping toward me, and going onto her tiptoes. “You won’t.” Her lips brushed mine. Featherlight and soft this time. “I trust you, Hael. You can do anything you want to me.”
I picked her up, cupping my hands under her ass as I walked us over to the bed.
Her back hit the mattress as I stepped between her legs at the edge of the frame. She shivered, my fingers trailing down her abdomen. I moved lower and lower, taking my time, enjoying watching her squirm a little.
Her breathing was rapid, her chest rising and falling so fast that it was an effort to not want to turn all my attention to her breasts.
“Breathe, Nollie,” I said, my fingers finally reaching between her legs.
She squealed, her back arching as she tried to move away, but I took my other hand, pressing it against her abdomen, and keeping her there.
My other hand was gentle, switching between featherlight touches and circular pressure as I worked her.
“What… what are you… doing?” she breathed.
“Anything I want,” I smirked, repeating her words back. Her eyes widened and her hips jutted harder against my fingers.
“I thought… we… we were going… to…”
Fuck—seeing her struggle to get words out as pleasure rode her was my new favorite thing. I could feel wetness pooling over my fingers, could feel her own lack of patience as she ground against my hand.
“We will,” I murmured, bending forward so my breath was against her neck. “But your first time can hurt, I want to make sure you can handle me.”
As soon as I said the words, I moved a finger against her entrance, switching my thumb to continue circling her clit.
Slowly, I pushed my finger inside, kissing her as I went. She gasped into my mouth before her lips were hungrily moving against mine. I added another finger, working as she continued to grind against my hand.
“Hael—” Her breath caught, I could feel her tightening around me. “Hael, I—” Her hands wrapped around my neck, gripping me so tight that I hoped it’d leave a bruise. I wanted something permanent, some reminder of this exact moment. Because watching Nollie come undone might just be my own undoing.
She fell back against the mattress. “Hael,” her eyes locked onto mine, and I wanted to freeze her expression. Her hair was splayed out around her, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glistening. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. “I want you inside of me.”
I pulled her all the way onto the bed, climbing on top of her.
“This might hurt,” I said. “But I’ll go slow. If you need me to stop, tell me.”
She nodded her head, and I wasn’t sure if she’d even be able to speak. She was breathless, her chest was still rising and falling, but she looked more relaxed now than when I first brought her over to the bed.
I lined myself up, then bent forward to kiss her, wrapping my hand around her neck. She let out a whimper as I slid inside her, my mouthcapturing the sound as I softly grazed my lips over hers. I took it slow, letting her adjust to every inch, kissing her in between.
Her hands found my back again, digging further into my skin, but I didn’t care. Nothing mattered except the feeling of being inside of her.
Nollie gasped as I finally hit the back of her, her body tensed. I kissed her through it, slowly, softly. “Do you need me to stop?—”
“No,” she whispered, pulling my face back down to hers. I felt the moment her body relaxed. “No,” she said again into my mouth.
Then her hips moved, jutting forward, and she said the single word a third time. “No.”
And I didn’t.
Nollie was leaningagainst my chest, and I kept having to pinch myself that this was real.
She was my Eclipsisian mate.
“Are you alright?” I asked, needing to make sure.
