Prologue
Melville’s Cross, October, eighteen years ago.
Their chests roseand fell in unison like they were one living, breathing organism, and as they lay on their backs staring at the same spot on the ceiling above Ollie’s bed, they slowly came to terms with what they’d done.
“So… that was sex,” Ollie said, air heaving in and out of him. “I think I like it.”
Beside him, Mia chuckled, causing the bed to bounce, and from the corner of his eye he saw her turn her head towards him, so he did the same. Turned his head until he was staring into her brilliant blue eyes and her sweet mouth was mere inches from his.
He longed for another taste of her—in more ways than one—but he was smart enough to know he had to tread carefully in these untested waters.
The last thing he wanted was to scare her off with his need for her.
A need he’d felt for a very long time.
Even if she hadn’t felt the same.
But maybe he’d been wrong about that?
Ollie still wasn’t even sure what had happened, or how. They hadn’t planned it. He certainly hadn’t anticipated it. Hell, he’d had to steal a condom from one of his brothers, and he’d like to think he would have planned things out a little better had he known he was about to lose his virginity.
Mia had only come over to help him study for their final exams and yet somehow one thing had led to another and they’d ended up in bed, naked.
It had quickly become blindingly obvious neither one of them really knew what they were doing, but what they’d lacked in skill, they’d made up for with curiosity and enthusiasm.
“Did I hurt you,” Mia asked, her grin softening into a shy smile as she lightly trailed her fingers over his cheek.
He arched one eyebrow. “I think I’m supposed to askyouthat question, aren’t I?” Then he got up to dispose of the condom.
“I meant when I pulled your hair?” she said, giving him a playful shove when he returned to the bed. “I pulled it pretty hard.”
Ollie’s nostrils flared and he licked his lips, leaned in closer. “I liked it,” he said, quietly. “It felt… right.”
She blushed but held his gaze, his fearless warrior woman. “Yeah, it did.”
“Did you like what I did to you?” he asked, hating the uncertainty that laced his words.
“Which part?”
He rolled to his side and propped himself up on his elbow. “When I licked between your legs. Was that okay?”
Her grin returned as she mirrored his position. “It was better than okay. In fact, I wouldn’t mind if you did it again.”
“Again, huh?” He stroked his fingers over her hip, noticed her little shiver at his touch. “I thought we were supposed to be studying.”
“Well,” she hedged, trailing her fingertips over his bicep, “I’m pretty sure anatomy is on the final exam for Phys-ed.”
“And knowing how to find the pleasure centre of a woman would be on the exam, right?” he said, sliding his hand farther down her leg, then dragging the limb over the top of his, bringing her pleasure centre flush against his.
“Obviously,” she said, suddenly breathless. Her voice dipped into a husky growl that made Ollie’s cock twitch with new life. “That’s half our final grade right there.”
Throbbing with need for her, he rolled her onto her back and tugged her slender leg around his waist. “I’d hate to fail because I hadn’t studied hard enough.”
“Speaking of hard,” she murmured, rocking her hips against his in a way that made his eyelids flutter and his body jerk to attention.
Attention he would willingly devote to their “studies”.
Ollie surged forwards and stole a kiss, hard and quick. “I guess I should go steal another condom, then.”
