Graham forced himself to take a deep breath as he worked through the long row of tiny buttons. With each one undone, he revealed more of her skin, and he couldn’t resist pressing his lips to the nape of her neck.
Diana shivered. “Graham…”
He helped her step out of the gown, then her stays and chemise, until she stood before him in nothing but her stockings and slippers. Graham forgot how to breathe.
“You’re magnificent,” he managed.
Diana’s blush spread down her chest, but she didn’t try to cover herself. Instead, she began removing his coats and shirt. He brushed her hand away when she started to unbutton his breeches. He would have to pace himself to have any chance of making the experience what she deserved for it to be. And that meant his pants needed to remain on for the time being.
Graham pulled the blankets back and then lifted her onto the bed, settling beside her. The feel of her bare skin against his nearly undid him completely.
“I’ve been told that the first time might hurt,” Diana said quietly.
“I’ll be gentle. I promise.” He kissed her, letting his hands explore her body. “If you want me to stop at any point—”
“I won’t.” She arched against him as his fingers found her breast. “I want this. I want you.”
Graham kissed his way down her throat. His hands explored her curves, learning every dip and swell of her body. When his mouth closed over her nipple, Diana arched off the bed with a sharp cry.
“So responsive,” he murmured against her skin, switching to the other breast while his fingers teased the bud he’d just abandoned. Hewas still quite thankful that he’d found that book. “Do you like this?”
“Graham,” she gasped, tangling her fingers in his hair. “Yes… please…”
He knew what she needed. His hand slid down her stomach, through the nest of curls between her thighs, finding her slick already. Diana’s hips bucked as he circled that sensitive bud he’d discovered before.
“You’re so wet,” he groaned, sliding a finger inside her. The tight clench of her core made his cock throb painfully. “So perfect.”
Diana was writhing beneath him, her thighs spreading wider as he worked his fingers in and out, moving them in different ways to see what she responded to the most. “More,” she demanded, and he loved watching her enjoy herself. “I want more.”
Graham added a second finger, stretching her carefully while his thumb continued circling.
He let her moan and move against his hand, and then withdrew his fingers.
“Why did you stop?” she whined, pushing the hair from her face.
Instead of answering her, he came onto his knees and kissed his way down her body until his head was perfectly positioned between her legs.
“Graham, what are you—oh!”
His mouth was on her, tongue exploring her seam with such care that he hoped it made up for his inexperience. The first time that he plunged his tongue inside of her, he was hooked. He was already addicted to the taste of her and the way she trembled and gasped his name. It was intoxicating.
“Graham!” Diana gripped his hair, holding him in place. “That’s… I didn’t even… oh God…”
He sucked gently on that sensitive nub while sliding his fingers back inside her, and in only a matter of moments, Diana was moaning and bucking on the bed, her thighs clamping around his head as shepractically convulsed from her orgasm.
Graham kissed his way back up her body, his cock so hard it was beyond painful. He needed her more than he’d ever needed anything in his life.
“That was…incredible,” she whispered, then placed several light kisses across his lips. “I want you inside me.”
He climbed from the bed and removed his breeches. She watched him, her eyes widening when his cock jutted up proudly.
“I…You are…Your size, I mean,” she started.
Graham climbed back onto the bed, hovering over her. He kissed her for several minutes, massaging her tongue with his. Kissing her with an equal amount of need and tenderness.
He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. “I am made to fit inside of you,” he reassured her. “But if you aren’t ready…”
She wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him so close their hearts beat together. “I’m ready.”
