She nodded.

“I mean it, Em.”

“I know.”

I kissed her again, slow and easy, reveling in the sounds of all her little whimpers and moans. I gave her a minute, and when she was ready, I slowly inched my fingertips inside her, slowly teasing her. She didn’t tense. She didn’t inch away. Instead, she lifted her hips forward, urging me on. I’d just begun to increase my pace when she moaned, “Oh god, Cole.”

“Not yet,” I demanded.

I slowed, tormenting her with my resistance. I wanted her to remember I was the one who could satisfy her needs. She groaned loudly, filling the room with the sounds of her frustration. I smiled, knowing that she would soon learn I would give her everything she needed.

A light moan escaped her lips as I nipped and sucked the inside of her thigh, just inches away from her clit. Her hips lifted up from the bed, begging for me to give her more. I finally gave in and drove my fingers deep inside her, twirling and caressing her delicate flesh.

Her body shuddered beneath me as I continued to fuck her with my fingers. She released my hair, and her hands dropped to the bed, digging into the sheets as she began to quiver uncontrollably. I knew she was getting close, and I couldn’t help the satisfied grin that crossed my face, knowing that she was about to cum.

It was getting harder and harder to hold back. She needed gentle and slow, but my need for her was building by the second and it was quickly becoming more than I could take. I needed to be inside her, but I had to make sure she was ready for me first.

It was the only way to keep from hurting her, so I eased up and reached for the waistband of her panties. She looked up at me with a longing, lustful look, and that was exactly what I was hoping for as I eased them down her long, slender legs. I settled back on the bed with my head between her legs.

Her eyes widened as she asked, “Wait… Are you about to…”

“You gotta trust me, Em.”

She nodded, then silently watched as I slid my hands under her and pulled her towards me. “Just relax.”

A light hiss slipped through her teeth, and her head fell back when I started to kiss along her inner thigh. Her fingers dug into the sheets and her back arched off of the bed as I pressed the flat of my tongue against her sensitive flesh. “Oh, god! Cole!”

Her eyes clamped shut as I continued to nip and suck, teasing her clit with my mouth. It wasn’t long before her legs started to tremble. I realized she was letting go, giving in to the moment and even relishing it. I increased the pressure, and her breath quickened. I knew she was getting close when she started to writhe and gasp for air. “That’s it, baby. Come for me.”

Seconds later, her head fell back as her entire body jolted with her release. Still in a haze, Em looked up with wonder in her eyes. Damn. I’d never in my life seen a more beautiful sight. Unable to wait any longer to have her, I stood up and started to remove my jeans. “Do you...um... have protection?”

I didn’t answer.

I simply reached into my back pocket and took the condom out of my wallet. I removed my boxers, and as soon as I’d slid the condom on, I lowered myself back onto the bed. My breath became strained as I hovered over her. She looked so damn beautiful lying there beneath me, and I couldn’t imagine wanting her more than I did at that moment.

“You good?”

“I’m more than good,” she whispered as she brought her hands up to my face. She pulled me towards her, pressing her mouth against mine, kissing me. I knew then that she was ready, and I gently slid deep inside her. She inhaled a deep breath, holding it for a moment as she adjusted to my invasion.

I knew the first time could be painful, so I gave her a moment. I remained perfectly still, listening as she exhaled slowly. The tips of her fingers dug into my biceps as she inhaled another breath. Her head eased back, and when she tilted her hips forward, I knew she was ready for more. I started to rock against her, slow and steady.

It wasn’t easy to take it slow. She felt unbelievably good. Tight, warm, and wet. I had to get a grip of myself before I exploded right there on the spot. “You’re incredible, Em. Every fucking inch of you.”

“Cole,” she whispered.

The longing in her voice as she said my name spurred me on. I started to move once again, rocking against her until I found a steady pace. I watched her every move, listened to every moan and whimper, making sure that I was giving her exactly what she needed.

The muscles in her body grew rigid, her chest stilled as she held her breath, and I knew she was close. The feeling was foreign to her, and she tried to resist, but no matter how hard she tried to fight it, she couldn’t stop the inevitable torment of her building orgasm.

I increased my rhythm, just enough to push her over the edge, and soon after, her fingernails dug into my hips as her entire body grew taut. Seconds later, I heard the sound of air rushing from her lungs as she fell limp in my arms.

I continued to drive into her, the tight grip of her body bringing me closer to climax with every thrust until I finally came inside her. I took a moment to catch my breath, then lowered myself down on the bed and pulled her over to me. The room stilled as she nestled into my side and rested her head on my shoulder.

Our breaths started to slow, and just as the lustful haze began to fade, Em looked up at me with tears in her eyes as she said, “I can’t believe I waited so long to do that.”

“But I’m glad you did.”

“Me, too.” She looked up at me and smiled. “I’m glad it was you.”
