CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

LAW

We’re lost in each other for a few minutes, adjusting to each other, learning the other’s moves, and getting in complete sync. My hand roams over her back and she shivers under my touch. It’s getting harder to resist laying her on her back and making her mine. I pull away, resting my forehead against hers. Willing my breathing to even out.

“Maggie,” I say, breathing heavily. “We need to take this slow. You...”

Her eyes widen, giving away that she knows exactly what I’m going to say.

She’s a virgin.

She falls onto her back, staring at the ceiling. Frustration and disappointment pour from her body.

“Come here,” I say, rolling her onto my chest. “I said slow, not stop.” I grin up at her.

“I know, it’s just hard to go slow when it feels so good,” she says, and my eyes widen in surprise.

I chuckle. “We need sleep, and if we start that up again, we’ll get none.”

Maggie bites her bottom lip, and I have to refrain from leaning up and pulling it between my teeth.

Maggie isn’t ready for me. She’s inexperienced, and I won’t frighten her with my varied sexual proclivities. I’m going to take things slow. Ease her into things.

Should I say to hell with it and convince him to take that V card and destroy it?

“Maggie,” I groan. “Stop thinking.”

She smiles down at me and my chest becomes tight. She’s beautiful. Absolutely fucking stunning.

“No more running,” I say. “It’s you and me. We make a go of this.”

Her smile is as bright as the sun. The happiness is something I want to see more of.

“I’m going to kiss you again,” I say, hoping I’m not making an epic fucking mistake.

She doesn’t say a word, lowering her mouth to mine. I groan into her lips, hands running up her sides, pulling her shirt up as they go. Our lips detangle just long enough for me to pull it all the way off, discarding it in the corner with mine.

“Fuck.” My eyes roam her body, taking in every curve.

Her body presses against me and my cock hardens to near painful levels as the need for this woman grows. I rock my hips up, dick hitting her center, eliciting a moan that threatens to undo me. My hands grab her ass, holding her against me, and the sound she makes erases all reason.

I lift her up and place her on her back so that I’m hovering above her, mouth lowering to hers again. Our tongues twist together in a rhythm that would suggest we’ve been doing this for years.

Her hands run over my chest but continue on a path down until her fingers are toying with the waist of my pants.

Fuck. This can’t happen yet.

It’s too fast.

I pull away, head leaning against hers. “Fuck, I’m sorry. We can’t.”

She stiffens under me, and I instantly regret those words.

“No. I just mean... we can’t fu—do,” I correct, “that... yet.”

Her cheeks turn an adorable shade of pink. I’m not used to being with someone so innocent, and I don’t want to degrade what we’re doing with that word.

When I do take her virginity, it will mean so much more to me.
