Chapter 23 #2
She was blushing so hard that even her forehead was scarlet. “I see.” She glanced up at him, her expression hesitant. “I’m afraid I don’t know how to make it good for you.”
He couldn’t help but smile. “I’m not worried in the least. It’s going to be good for me.” He ran a hand down her waist. “Very good. I’ll be surprised if I last an entire minute. This first time, anyway.”
She bit her lip. “I don’t know what that means.”
He kissed her. “You will. Soon.”
She nodded, a look of determination coming into her eyes. “Very well. What can I do to make you feel good?”
He had approximately seven hundred ideas. He rolled onto his back. “Unbutton my trousers.”
She sat up and complied, and dear God, the sight of a naked Kate undressing him was the most erotic thing he’d ever seen. His cock pulsed in his trousers, eager for what was about to happen, and she gave a nervous laugh.
“He’s eager to make your acquaintance.” His voice dropped an octave below his usual register as he said, “Go ahead. Take me out of my trousers.”
Kate’s cheeks were flushed, but she reached inside his falls and wrapped her sweet, soft hand around his turgid cock. Nathaniel groaned at the exquisite sensation.
As his cock came into view, her mouth fell open into a perfect little O. She tilted her head from side to side, considering him from every angle.
Nathaniel was not lightly made. And at the moment, his cock was fully engorged. He wondered if Kate was frightened by the sight of him. “What are you thinking?”
She licked her lips, which did nothing to reduce his state of arousal. “It’s so big!”
“Does that make you nervous?” he asked softly.
He was about to assure her that he would be as gentle as he could, but she shook her head. “Not nervous. I don’t know why, but… it makes me feel excited. To know that you want me so much.”
“Excited?” He was the luckiest man on the face of this earth. “Truly?”
She lay back on the blanket and spread her legs. “Please, Nathaniel. Please, make love to me!”
He almost spent on the blanket, seeing her spread out before him and begging for his cock. He somehow managed to hold himself together long enough to climb on top of her.
“Oh!” she squealed as his weight settled over her. “This feels so good! It feels… right.”
He twined his fingers with hers. “For me, too. But I’m afraid you might find this next part painful.
” He brushed a kiss against her lips. “There might be blood as I break through your maidenhead. I’m given to understand that it won’t hurt after your first time.
I’ll go as slowly as I can. Promise you’ll tell me if it’s too much. ”
She nodded. “All right.”
He reached down to align himself with her entrance.
Slowly, he pushed forward. A roaring filled his ears, and it was all he could do to stop himself from thrusting forward and claiming her, because she was tight and slick and perfect around his cock, and being inside her even this much felt better than anything he had ever imagined.
He screwed up his face, struggling to concentrate. “Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t.” He felt the pads of her fingers stroking across his back. “Keep going.”
He advanced another inch. Somehow, she continued to encourage him. Every time he forced himself to stop, she reassured him it was all right, told him to keep going.
After a minute that almost killed him, he was fully seated inside her. His entire body was trembling from the exquisite pleasure and the need to thrust. He pushed himself up on his elbows so he could look down at her. “Kate, look at me. How bad is it?”
“It’s not bad at all,” she said in a rush. “Go ahead. You can… you know.”
Watching her the entire time, he carefully withdrew halfway. She squeezed her eyes shut, no doubt bracing herself for the pain. He pressed forward, and his eyes crossed, she felt so good around him.
He forced himself to pause again. “Talk to me, Kate. How does it feel?”
She opened her eyes and his heart almost stopped, because they were filled with the glassy pleasure he’d seen in them before. “It feels so good!” She looked at him, entreating. “Oh, Nathaniel! Can you do that again? That thing where you—”
He thrust again, and she cried out, unmistakably with pleasure.
He was pumping into her rhythmically now, having given up any hope of going slowly and gently. “You like that, do you?”
“So much!” she cried. She tilted her hips upward a fraction and made a sound of delight.
It was all too much. As much as Nathaniel wanted to keep giving her what she very clearly liked, he felt the familiar twinge as he passed the point of no return. This was the moment when the pleasure was most exquisite, and truly, nothing had ever felt so good.
But he also knew that he had about five seconds before he came.
“Kate!” he gasped. “T-too good. I’m sorry, I… I’m going to… Kate!”
Then, he was coming, coming inside her, and the pleasure was unimaginable. He shouted her name as he pounded into her, aware of nothing but the waves of bliss washing over him.
Eventually, the shieling stopped spinning. Kate’s fingertips were tracing gently over his back. He lifted his head, and she smiled at him.
“Did that feel good?” she asked.
He chuckled. “Good is such a pale, timid word to describe the most wondrous thing to ever happen to me.” He kissed her tenderly. “It was incredible. Thank you, Kate.”
She looked tremendously pleased. “You’re welcome.”
He stroked her brow. “It wasn’t too painful for you?”
She laughed. “It wasn’t painful at all! In fact…” She dropped her voice low. “I wouldn’t mind doing it again.”
He snorted. “You’re going to get your wish. In about two minutes.”
Her befuddled expression really was adorable. “Two minutes? What do you mean… Oh.”
He took it that she could feel his cock hardening inside her once again.
Her voice had taken on a breathy quality. “I hope you don’t… mind.”
It was all he could do not to laugh. “Mind?”
She was starting to squirm beneath him, searching for some friction. At this rate, she wasn’t even going to have to wait two minutes.
“It’s just that… it feels very good. For me,” she clarified.
He tried to bury his smile in the blankets. He must not have succeeded because Kate stopped squirming. “Are you laughing at me?”
He lifted his head. “I’m not. I am smiling because I am the happiest man who has ever walked the face of this earth.”
She looked as if she wanted to believe him but didn’t entirely trust his words. “Truly?” she asked in a small voice.
Let’s see, you’re the woman of my dreams, you’ve agreed to marry me, and instead of complaining of pain and terror your first time making love, you’re waxing rhapsodically about how much you love my cock. Men would commit unspeakable sins to gain such happiness.
But he didn’t think she was ready to hear all of that, so he said, “You’re perfect. Completely perfect for me. And I love you so much.”
She immediately looked away, swallowing thickly. “I love you, too,” she said, her voice tight. “And I feel exactly the same way. About you. Being perfect. For me.”
The words were thrilling to hear, even if he longed for Kate to look him in the eye as she said them. No matter. She was reserved by nature. It was one of the many things he loved about her.
She would grow used to exchanging words of love, because Nathaniel intended to tell her how much he adored her at every opportunity.
He cleared his throat. “You mentioned wanting to make love again. I have good news for you.” He flexed his hips, and Kate’s eyes went wide.
He leaned in and felt her shallow breath against his lips. When he spoke, his voice was husky. “Let’s see if we can’t do even better the second time around.”
There was no more conversation for some time.
