After Shawn finishes with my hair, he rubs soap down my back and arms, taking his time with my breasts, as he bends down to kiss my neck. Growing more impatient, I take his hand and slide it down my stomach. Despite the temperature in the shower, my body feels as though it is on fire. And Shawn is responsible.

Staring up at his steel blue eyes that pierce right through me, I suck in a deep breath and let it out. “I’m ready, Shawn. I don’t want to wait another second.”

He knows what I want. No more words are necessary. Shawn helps me wash my body, dipping his fingers between my legs to tease me before he spins me around and cups my face in his hands. “I’m so glad I have you back, Ella. You have no idea all the crazy things that were running through my head this week.”

“I can imagine. But all that matters is that we are here with each other.”

“We can wait a few days to give you some time to decompress from everything.”

“Waiting is no longer an option for me, Shawn. Our time apart only made me realize that I want to live in the moment with you. I don’t want to waste another second.”

“I wanted this night to be special for you. Now, it will be tied a bad memory.”

“It’s not.” I cover his hands with mine and hold his gaze. “What I will remember of this night is that you climbed up the side of my house to save me, that you told me you love me, and now, we’re about doing something together that I want to share with you. If someone had told me when I snuck out to come to your party that we would be here right now, I would have said they were crazy. To me, you were always unattainable and too popular to give me the time of day. But I was wrong about you. I have been wrong about a lot of things lately, and giving you my virginity is not one of them.”

He answers with his actions, and once our tongues collide, I know that choosing him was one of the best decisions I’d ever made. Lost in this moment, I don’t want our lips to separate when he backs away from me. Out of breath and overcome with so many emotions, my chest feels tight. The hot water is not helping. Neither is what Shawn is doing to my body.

I stare into his eyes, and my mouth opens wide, as he reaches between my legs. He rolls the pad of his thumb over my clit before he slips his finger inside my wetness. Leaving a trail of kisses from my neck to my breasts, Shawn takes his time exploring my body, before he takes my nipple in his mouth and tugs on it with his teeth.

As I come undone, I grab hold of his shoulders to stabilize myself, my body writhing beneath him. It takes me a few seconds before I can function again.

“How about we take this into the bedroom?” He asks, sliding his fingers from inside me.

“Uh-huh,” I choke out, barely able to stand or speak from the mind-blowing orgasm that owned my body.

After we get out of the shower, Shawn wraps a towel around me and leads me by the hand to the bed. He dries the remaining water from my skin and drops the towel onto the floor, licking his lips as he appraises my body. This is the moment I have waited for since the night I’d kissed Shawn in the back hallway of his fraternity house.

“You are so beautiful, Ella.” Shawn tucks a wet strand of hair behind my ear and smiles.

“I’m lucky to have you,” I whisper.

He shakes his head. “No, I’m the lucky one.” Shawn dips his head lower and plants a soft kiss on my lips. “I love you, Ella. I love you so much.”

“I love you, too, Shawn.”

Slipping his hand behind my back, he lowers me onto the mattress, and then, he positions himself between my legs. I suck in a deep breath, preparing myself for his size. With big shoulders, arms, and calves, I wasn’t at all surprised that every part of him was just as huge. But this is my first time, and holy shit I am nervous about him fitting inside me.

I close my eyes and wait, hoping it will get better before it gets worse since I have no idea what to expect.

Finch runs his thumb along my jaw. “Ella, open your eyes.” When I do as he asks, he continues, “It’s okay. I’m going to take things slow.”

“I trust you,” I say and dig my heel into his ass.

He takes his cock in his hand, giving himself a few strokes before he presses the head against my entrance. Teasing me, he rubs along my folds to coat his skin with my juices. I’m dying with anticipation, my body set on fire from the adrenaline that courses through my veins. Once Shawn inches himself inside me, my mind goes blank from the pain. I tilt my head to the side and shut my eyes but only for a second.

As promised, he takes it slow, the pain lessening with each movement. “That wasn’t so bad,” I mutter.

He leans forward, placing his elbows on both sides of my head. “I’m only halfway in,” he breathes against my lips before he kisses me. “It’s not a race, and I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You’re not.” I moan the words. “Keep going. I won’t break.”

Listening to me, Shawn fills me all the way, causing me to cry out in pain. I dig my fingernails into his back and bite down on my bottom lip. My body tingles from all the pleasure points Shawn hits all at once.

My moans turn to screams when he quickens his pace, digging his fingers into my hips. He’s less gentle than before, and I encourage him not to stop. As my body relaxes, working in a rhythmic motion along with his, he lifts my leg over his shoulder, sliding deeper inside me.

“You okay, babe?” He studies my face, waiting for me to nod.

“Mmm…” That’s all I manage to get out, and my lack of a response brings the cutest smile to his face.
