She shifted her hips a little and he responded, slowly gliding in and out, and Caroline’s mind could only focus on what she was feeling.Why was I afraid of this? Why did I wait so long?This was amazing. He was amazing.
Josh’s eyes fixed on her and his expression changed. There was something different in the way he was looking at her and she wondered if somehow he knew. How could he know?
“You waited?” he whispered in her ear. “You should have told me....” His breathing was short as he lifted his head and looked into her eyes.
Oh, God. Had she said it out loud? She was so focused on what was happening with her body that she didn’t even realize she’d said it out loud.
Her words were lost before she could respond because the heat seemed to build like a storm low in her belly and Caroline knew that once the orgasm hit, she wouldn’t be coherent.
“Caroline.” Her name came out of him in a broken breath.. “I can’t... I want...”
“Shhh,” she said, holding his face in her hands. He was straining, trying to hold back, and all she could do was kiss him. Her lips brushed over his face and when his eyes locked on hers she saw everything she’d ever dreamed of seeing. There was passion, desire—Josh wanted her. He was as consumed by their lovemaking as she was. They were in sync—completely together.
Her body was hot and damp, almost sticky, as she started to match his pace. She’d done her research, knew the mechanics, but nothing could have prepared her for the rush of sensations. Instinctively, she knew what to do, how to move, where to touch him. There were still twinges of soreness, but all she could feel was Josh, the hard smoothness as he kept moving, kept driving, until she felt her core tighten and a wild spasm start. Caroline couldn’t stay quiet. She thought what he did with his mouth was a miracle, but this? This was almost sacred.
Josh threw his head back, and Caroline reveled in the expression on his face. Pure pleasure, pure release as he came and called her name. Every muscle in his body seemed to seize up before he collapsed on top of her. It was a miracle. A beautiful miracle.He called her name.
She held him close, wrapping her arms around her spent hero, loving how she’d pushed him right over the edge. His head was resting on her chest and everything was pretty much perfect. If he drew her into his arms and held her, it would be perfect.
Then Josh lifted his head and Caroline saw the question in his eyes and the annoyance written on his face.
“You and I need to have a little talk.”
Obviously, there would be no after-sex cuddling. She was in trouble.
Shit.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”Josh paced around his room, yanking on a pair of gym shorts, so angry with himself he couldn’t see straight. “Jesus, Caroline. I didn’t want to be your first. I never wanted to be anyone’s first!” Caroline was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her head down.
He’d taken her virginity, he’d upset her. Yeah, he was just a fucking prince. Good God, he still couldn’t wrap his head around it.The woman was a virgin. She was a twenty-seven-year-old professional living in New York and he was her first. How did someone get to be her age and not have sex?
She wiped her eyes and started to crawl out of the big bed. “I’m sorry you’re so upset.”
“I’m not upset. I’m PISSED!” he yelled, regretting it immediately when she flinched. Great, he was scaring her. It wasn’t enough that he’d gone at her like a rutting animal. Reining in his temper, he figured she’d been traumatized enough. “Seriously. Why?”
“If I had, what would you have done different?”
“Well, I wouldn’t have had sex with you.”
“Exactly,” she snapped. “It’s my body. Why do you get to decide?”
She’d known what she’d wanted. Okay, that was fine, but she really didn’t seem to understand that the whole virgin thing was tough for a guy his age to swallow. Even when he was a teenager, he’d never slept with a virgin. It was a responsibility being the first, and in some strange way it felt like a commitment. He couldn’t say it out loud because he realized it sounded ridiculous. Caroline hadn’t asked him for anything.
But still, he felt strangely protective of her. Sitting in the large chair opposite the bed, he watched her. The silence between them was more than uncomfortable, mostly because he’d handled this so badly. Caroline, who’d pulled the sheet around her body, was looking around, trying to find a way to escape. Before she did that, he had to make sure she was okay.
Moving from the chair to the bed, Josh took her hand and tugged her to him. She resisted and tried to bring the sheet with her so she could stay covered, but Josh didn’t care about any of it. As far as he was concerned her staying naked was a plus. He really liked looking at her.
She settled next to him, her knees pulled up and her legs folded to one side. Josh wrapped his arm around her and drew her in.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“Of course. I’m fine.”
“I didn’t hurt you? It wasn’t too rough?”
Caroline shook her head and he felt her get warm. It was hard to see in the dim light of the room, but he imagined she was blushing. Heaven help him. The woman blushed.
