Chapter Seventeen
- Dante -
AS GOOD AS I AM AThiding emotions, I allowed a blink or two to come through before I masked again. Her drunken confession at my mother’s party was one thing, but being asked to be the one to take her innocence from her?
My dick lurched, ready to get on with the task before I even gave her an answer. My body was more than willing to grant her request. While it was convenient that she presented me with the path to her ruin, the rest of me needed more than the thought of pushing past her barriers, both physically and emotionally.
I needed to process how this usually shy, introverted woman who had openly displayed her hostility towards me since her return had decided that I was the one to have earned the honor of being her first.
As archaic as it sounds, I did consider it an honor to be chosen for this task. Obviously, her innocence meant something to her, or she wouldn’t have held onto it for so long. Noemi was a beautiful woman, both inside and out. I’m not too jaded to know that. Had she the confidence, she could have any man she wanted. And here she was, telling me thatIwas that man?
There was more to it than that. There had to be. Did she no longer value her virginity and she thought I was the ass who would take it from her without question? If that were the case, she was wrong.
Oh, I would take her virginity. Now that she’d made the offer, I would give her what she needed. In every way possible, I would be her first. But I would ask questions and she would give me the answers I needed. And I had certain conditions to her request. Her response to those would tell me everything.
I watched her fiddle with her hands in her lap. Brave on the exterior but shaking beneath. She had decided that this was what she wanted, and she wanted it bad enough to ask me face to face. No sweet words. No months of building the anticipation. No attempt at seduction.
Because she knew me? Because she knew that approach wouldn’t work with a man like me. There was more to her proposal than “I want to give my virginity to the first available man I can find.” If that were the case, she could give Jacko a call.
My entire body tightened at the thought of her with him... Giving herself to him. The way her eyes would close, and her legs would part, the way her body would grow slick... forhim.
No. It wouldn’t be for him. It would be for me. I would be the one to show her what it was like to be taken by a real man. Just how much of a virgin was she? Had she ever had an orgasm? Had she done other things? Experienced sexual arousal, reached that elusive peak on her own, or with someone’s, or something’s, assistance? Just how deep did her innocence lie?
I needed these answers, because yes, I was going to accept Noemi’s proposal.
But on my own terms.
I walked back around my desk and sat down so I could hide my growing arousal. Not my usual style. Had she been anyone else, I wouldn’t care if she saw how hard I was getting just speaking to her about this. But that would also show her how very interested I was in becoming a willing partner to her scheme. I needed to have the upper hand as we negotiated. I wasn’t ready for her to see how much I wanted her. Perhaps, when we were done with our discussion. Despite my efforts to show otherwise, I am only human, and the burden of my erection was going to have to be resolved somehow.
“Why?” I asked sharply.
I watched her response closely. She swallowed her nerves.
“Why what? Why do I want to lose my virginity or why did I choose you?”
She thought she had the upper hand. I could tell by the way she stuck her chin out. I’d play along with her for now. Partly because she was right. She did have the upper hand. She’d made me an offer I couldn’t say no to. I spent the last two days trying to decide how I was going to manipulate her to my will. She didn’t know she provided me with the answer to my dilemma. Her virginity was the price she wanted to pay for being with me and I was the fucking prick who’d accept it. If she were ready to depart with her well-kept virginity, then if not me... who? Knowing this option was available to me, there was no way in hell was I going to step back from it. Saying ‘no’ wasn’t going to happen. In fact, her answer to my question, and those that were about to follow it, were completely irrelevant to whether or not I accepted. I was going to fuck her simply because she asked me to. “I don’t care about the first. Your motives don’t matter to me.”
Her brow puckered and her fidgeting increased.
I leaned back in my chair, knowing that my now painful physical condition was still concealed by my massive mahogany desk.
“But I am curious to know why you chose me. You’re a tempting woman, Noemi. You could have anyone you want. And here you are... offering yourself to me. Based on our interactions since your return, I admit to being shocked by your choice.”
She sucked her bottom lip behind her teeth, pressing her knees together. She was beginning to share my torment. If I put my hand between her legs, would I feel her getting wet for me? The corner of my mouth ticked with concealed amusement. I would ask her that, too. But not yet.
“It’s simple, really.” She shrugged as if her answer was immaterial.
Oh, she was brave. She would have had me convinced by her nonchalant words if her body hadn’t completely given her away.
She mirrored my stance, sitting back in her chair and meeting my gaze. “It was... that kiss.” Her voice dropped, and so did her eyes. “No one’s ever kissed me that way before.”
“And did that mean something to you?” I knew it did because that kiss meant something to me, too. I told her that night; it was the best thing that had happened to me in a long time. I had never known such physical pleasure from just a kiss.
“Yes,” she whispered.
“What?” I pushed.
She shook her head. She didn’t want to answer.
