Page 12 of Finding His Forever

I break away from the kiss, just long enough to pull the dress off, which always takes a little shimmying. I drop it to the floor as his hungry eyes scan the matching set of intimates—the laciest, sexiest ones I could find where the bra didn’t have a back clasp. I purchased it last week specifically for today.

With a shake of his head and the hint of a smile, Cooper follows suit, quickly shedding his own shirt and tossing it aside. Our skin meets, warm and slightly damp with anticipation, as he presses me back against the bed, his mouth finding mine once again.

My only coherent thought is that I couldn’t have chosen a better partner for my first time. Cooper is perfect for the job in every way or at least, I thought he was. Now that I’ve gotten to know him, I’m not so sure.

But his kisses trail down my neck and along my collarbone, sending any budding feelings I may have for him flying as the weight of the moment bears down on me. I’m about to cross a line I’ve tried to traverse for years with no luck. But now, this morning, this man who knows his way around a woman’s body will be the one to take my virginity and, if anything, I feel empowered that I finally put the pieces in place to make it happen.

“Coop,” I murmur, my voice barely audible even to my own ears. “Are you going to…use protection?”

“Of course,” he replies without hesitation, pausing just long enough to pull a condom from the nightstand drawer and roll it down his thick length.

“Good,” I sigh. “I’m sure a little Cooper running around is the last thing you want.”

He meets my eyes. “Not yet, at least.”

That’s what I thought. But I swallow the despair that surges through me when he climbs over me, his warm weight propped on his arms on either side of me.

“Are you ready?” His eyes search mine.

“More than ready,” I assure him as I seal off my heart and make this only about the physical sensations, determined not to feel any emotions at all.

Cooper

ThemomentIslideinto Eve, she tenses beneath me, and I freeze as her breath catches in her throat. Warning bells sound in the back of my head as if there’s a five alarm fire in my building.

I blink down as she winces and bites her lip, flexes her hips, and meets my eyes. “Please, don’t stop.”

“Are you alright?” I’ve never had to ask this question during sex, and yet, right now, I need to. Something’s different, but I can’t for the life of me fathom what.

“Yes.” Eve nods vehemently, and her grip on my left bicep tightens. “Please, don’t stop,” she repeats, and the strangulated tone of her voice confounds me.

“Wait…” I ask, pulling back slightly as a completely ridiculous thought pops into my head. “You’re not a virgin, are you?”

Her cheeks flush a deep red, and she glances off with a look of vulnerability or maybe guilt.

“Eve?”

She meets my gaze with steel in her eyes and nods.

I can’t fucking believe this. This gorgeous, beguiling, irresistible creature has never been with a man? My jaw drops, but I quickly snap it shut. There’ll be enough time for questions later. Right now, I’ve got a job to do, and I’m more determined than ever to make her come.

I lean down to capture her lips in a passionate kiss, and her lips, firm at first, soften and mold to mine with a soft sigh. I resume our lovemaking, moving slowly and deliberately, and paying close attention to her every move. I hold myself back from fucking her until she screams like I’ve wanted to ever since she stepped out of the elevator and into my life yesterday.

Her moans grow louder, and she throws back her head, her eyes squeezed shut as she pulses around me. I brace myself on one arm and slip a hand down her body to find her clit once more. Her eyes fly open, and I meet them. “Come for me, gorgeous.”

Her back arches off the bed, and I adjust my angle. It’s less than a minute before she reaches her climax, her entire body quaking beneath mine and her cries echoing in my ears. A sense of relief washes through me, and it’s only then I chase my release, staring down at the beauty beneath me. The woman who wanted me to be her first.

With a kiss to her forehead, I roll off and pad to the bathroom, disposing of the condom before grabbing a washcloth off the counter. I run it under warm water and head back into the bedroom but stop short at the sight of Eve, standing and tugging on her underwear.

“Lie down.” The command emerges more forcefully than I intend. “Please?” I add, willing her to comply.

“Are you sure?”

I clench my teeth and draw a deep breath in through my nose. Does she really think so little of me? “I’m sure.”

She lets the underwear around her calves fall to the floor and climbs back into bed but pulls the sheet up over her. I bite back a frown and slide in next to her, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. “Let me clean you up.”

“What? No!” She releases her hold on the sheet to grab for the washcloth, but I hold it out of reach.
