“I’m sorry, love. I was trying to get back before you woke up. I knew you would feel overwhelmed and need me. I expected it.”
“But why?”
“You gave yourself to me, and you’ve never done that before. I considered you a virgin because you were.”
“Gregory told you about what happened?”
“Yes, and I’m glad he did.”
She tried to pull her head away from his grip when she felt tears prick her eyes.
He tightened his fingers. “That wasn’t your fault. None of it was.”
“I felt so stupid. I thought he wanted to be my friend. He was new in town, and I was trying to be nice. I had a bad feeling when he didn’t want us to leave the office. I cried and screamed when he started to pull up my skirt. I’m so thankful Gregory came in. Although I was humiliated and ashamed.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong. The guy did. When a girl says stop and is crying, she means it.”
“Gregory took me home with him, and his wife, Lana, took me to the doctor. The guy had just pushed himself into me when Gregory came in. It hurt so bad.”
“I’m so sorry, baby,” he said and pressed a kiss to her temple.
“Lana explained some things to me. I knew the basics because of the girls at college, but my grandmother never talked about sex, and then after she died, I was just trying to survive.”
“I hate that you went through any of it. I’m astounded you stayed so sweet and innocent.”
She tightened her arm around his waist. “I wished to be street smart and courageous so many times, but I just don’t have it in me.”
“And that’s fine by me. I love you just the way you are.”
Her head jerked up. “You love me?”
He rubbed his thumb over her cheek. “Yes, baby. More than I can tell you.”
A smile broke out over her face. “Oh, Kaleb, I love you, too.”
“I know,” he said and chuckled. “You told me last night.”
“I did?” she asked in surprise.
“Yes.”
“I’m glad.”
He kissed the top of her head. “How do you feel?”
She grinned up at him. “Good.”
“I mean your body, love. How’s your pussy?” He chuckled when she blushed again.
“Good.”
“You don’t feel achy?”
“No.”
She stiffened when she felt his hand glide down her stomach. Her pussy clenched when one of his fingers speared through her lips and then thrust into her.
“Ahhh.”
