This is just sex—full-stop. There’s no need to be thinking about how good it feels in his arms and how much I want to stay here.
I smile up at him, reassured, lifting a hand and pressing it to his chest, where I can feel his heart hammering against his ribs. He’s staring at me, a stare that sees all of me, I think.
‘That was...very nice.’
His laugh is unsteady. ‘Nice? I’m so glad you think so.’
‘Better than nice,’ I promise, his cock twitching inside me, making me aware of every single nerve ending and desire I possess.
He drops down, pressing a kiss to my lips and then rolls off me, onto his back. I push up on my elbow to look at him, his strong face, his handsome features, his broad chest, his body burned into my memory—thank God.
‘Thanks for coming over.’ I reach out, running a fingertip over his nose to his lips. He angles his face to mine.
‘Any time.’ He grins. ‘I was worried you’d think this was just a booty call...’
I feel a sudden pang in my chest. ‘It was.’ I soften the words with a wink. ‘I wanted sex. You obliged.’
He laughs, pushing up onto his elbow, matching my posture, like bookends in this bed of mine. ‘I see.’ He catches my hair in his fingers, holding it, before arranging it over my shoulder. ‘And to think you were just a shy little virgin two weeks ago...’
‘I don’t know if I could ever be classed as shy.’
‘Fair point.’ He drops his head down onto the pillow, facing me. ‘I guess someone who propositions a guy she doesn’t know for sex is hardly retiring...’
‘Exactly.’ I bring the duvet up to cover my body but he snakes a hand beneath it, his fingers finding my nipple and flicking it. I bite down on my lower lip, pleasure exploding inside me. ‘Though I was kind of terrified you’d say no.’
He pulls a face. ‘Let me tell you something about men, Millie. There are very few of us who’d have said no to the offer you made.’
‘To have sex with a virgin? Who has no idea what she’s doing?’
His look is droll. ‘To be your first lover? Hell, yeah.’
‘So that’s some kind of...male fantasy?’
His eyes hold mine and he strokes my side beneath the duvet and I suppress a shiver as my nerve endings reverberate. ‘Yes.’
‘That’s why you agreed to this?’
The smallest of frowns tugs at one side of his lips. ‘Yes.’
‘I’m glad,’ I say with a smile. ‘I mean, I’m glad it was you.’
His eyes home in on me, looking deeper, peeling away my layers. ‘What would you have done if I hadn’t agreed?’
I drop my gaze.
‘Did you have a backup plan?’
Did I? I can’t remember. ‘No. I don’t think so.’
‘So if I’d told you I didn’t want to get involved in this, you’d have just packed up and moved onto France?’
‘I mean, I guess so. I wanted to lose my virginity, Michael, but...’ I swallow, a tricky path before me. A path that has darkness at the end and rose bushes, thorny and barbed, on either side.
‘But?’
I step with care, choosing each word slowly. ‘I wanted you.’ My eyes lift to his bravely. ‘I didn’t know I had a sexual bone in my body until you came into the bar that first time. And I was terrified. I felt like... I had this visceral reaction, desire permeated me. I literally felt like something was tugging me towards you. I wanted to strip you naked and throw you against the wall and climb on your cock.’
He laughs at my description.
