“But…I didn’t mean to do that.” My voice cracked, and I hiccuped as humiliation crept back into the forefront of my mind. “I haven’t— I mean, I don’t—” I shook my head to try to knock some sense back into it. “I haven’t done that since high school.”

“Come in your pants?” He cupped my cheek and gently caressed it. “I did too. You’ve got nothing to be embarrassed about.”

My jaw dropped as I glanced down to his crotch. Sure enough, there was a dark spot on the front of his gray sweats. “You did that because of me?”

“That was all you, babe.” He carded his fingers through my hair and smiled.

Wow. That was something I needed to spend a lot of time unpacking. But for now, I wanted to be honest with Kacen. “Wow…but that’s not what I mean. I haven’t come at all since high school.”

Now Kacen looked shocked and sat up on an elbow, hovering over me. “No way.”

“Yes way.” I shrugged and averted my gaze, afraid to see disgust or mockery in his. “I’ve never been interested.”

“Whoa.” Kacen hooked his finger under my jaw and forced me to look at him. “We’re allowed to feel good, babe. Your body needed a release…and you got one.” He smirked and grabbed my ass again. “And I don’t know about yours but mine was fucking amazing.”

I wanted to argue with him, but I couldn’t. “Mine too.”

“Okay, then.” He relaxed beside me and held me close. “Maybe we should take a little power nap.”

“And you…” I was quieter than before, but I knew he could hear me. “You’ll keep touching me?”

“For as long as you’ll let me.”

KACEN

After that afternoon on my couch, everything changed between me and Ted. He started showing up at my back door every night without an invitation, and I never had to pump my milk again. We just worked well together.

We hadn’t had sex yet, but I was hesitant because Ted was a virgin. It still shocked me to think about, but it didn’t change the fact that I was quickly falling for the sweet guy.

What I didn’t ever hold back on was touching him. He truly was touch-starved to the point that he visibly shivered most of the times I made initial contact with his skin. He’d spent so long deprived of human contact that I wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t ready for.

So I patiently waited until he was ready.

We were tangled together on my bed with his shirt on the floor and my mouth trailing down his neck while his hands fisted in the sheets as something to hold onto.

When I paused to check in with him, he groaned. “Don’t stop this time.” Gone were the whispered fears and insecurities that had kept him from making connections in adulthood. He was now a horny young man looking to pop his cherry. “I want all of you, Kace. I’m ready.”

I searched his face for any traces of doubt, but there were none. There was only want and need staring back at me. He finally trusted me. “You sure?”

“Completely sure.” He pulled me back down and kissed me with everything he had. “Please.”

I was more than ready to feel his tight ass around my dick, but I still took my time with him. The gift he was giving me was precious, and I wanted to make sure every step of this milestone felt good and safe and right for him.

Even though I’d never been much of a talker before, I explained everything I was doing and what he might expect. He knew when my cold finger was about to breach his opening and when a second and third were joining the first. And as he experienced each new sensation, he made the sexiest sounds that vibrated straight to my balls.

After several minutes of slowly prepping his body to take me for the first time, I was ready. But I needed to make sure he was. “Ted.” I curled over his back like a turtle’s shell and lined up my cock with his hole. “Are you ready for me, babe?”

“Yes, Kace. So ready.”

My hips thrust forward, and I slid inside his virgin channel.

“Kacen…” His reverent whisper carried so much weight in it. It wasn’t just my name but his promise to keep trusting me.

“I’ve got you, babe.”

Ted looked up at me with so much adoration that my whole world recentered around him. “I know you do.”
