She nodded, her eyes wide, her lips parted.
A growl escaped him. “You are looking at me that way again.”
“I can’t help it,” she whispered. “I really want you so much now.”
Desire surged at her words, destroying his control, and with a muttered expletive under his breath, he yanked her to him. In one swift, sweeping movement, he had her up in his arms, his lips covering hers and his tongue inside her mouth.
Again, her submission was immediate, her body molding itself to his as her arms curled around his neck and her lips parted widely under his mouth.
Without breaking their kiss, Nik kicked the door to his bedroom open and went straight for the bed. Only when he had to lay her down did he pull away, and the sound of whimpered protest escaping her lips made him smile.
Her eyes fluttered open, and the first thing Daria saw was Nik straightening off the bed, his eyes on her as he stepped out of his board shorts and briefs. A second later, he was fully naked, and she was hypnotized. It was her first time to see a cock in real life, and the sight was...daunting. Titillating, too, but dauntingly so, and she didn’t know if she wanted to keep looking at it or close her eyes at the sight. She knew it would fit, but she wondered how painful it would be the first time, to have something so large inside her.
The moment she started thinking how much it would hurt, Daria knew she wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about it. “I have to tell you something.”
The panicky note in her voice made Nik still. “What?”
Still staring at him, she blurted out, “I’m a virgin.”
His eyes widened.
Was that a good sign or a bad sign?
She pleaded shakily, “Say something?”
Nik swallowed. A virgin. This woman – the first woman who had ever made him think using his cock instead of his brains – was a virgin. It should make him turn away and allow someone worthier to have the honor of taking her virginity, but it didn’t. Instead, it only made him more possessive and unwilling to let her go.
This woman was fated to be his.
Instead of answering her right away, he walked towards her. “A virgin, you say?”
Daria trembled as Nik came closer and closer to her. When he stopped at the side of the bed, she could only watch and tremble harder as he lifted a hand and reached for one strap of her dress.
“If you’re a virgin, no one has ever touched you then?” As he spoke, he pulled one string down her shoulder.
“Some have t-tried.” The last word came out choked, with Nik pulling the other string down her shoulder.
His eyes locked with hers. “Have they ever seen you naked...like this?” He pulled her dress down as he spoke, and she gasped as her bra-less breasts sprang free. When she instantly tried to cover herself, Nik said sharply, “No.” Her hands fell off. “Good.”
The approval in his voice made her breasts ache, and her nipples started to pucker back into life.
“You haven’t answered my question,” he reminded her.
The quiet note of reproof made her swallow. It made her think he was in the mood to punish her for it, and curse it, but she wanted to be punished by Nik. God, was this how love worked? Did it make you want the craziest things?
“Answer me.”
The command startled her, and she stammered, “N-no one. No one has ever seen me naked.” When he didn’t answer, she lifted worried eyes to him, and when she did, only then did he smile at her.
“That makes you mine unequivocally, doesn’t it?”
She nodded, but she was just possessive enough to say shakily, “As you’re mine.” When he didn’t answer, she asked again, “Right?”
Whereas such a demanding tone would have irritated him in the past, coming from Daria, it only pleased him, and Nik allowed himself a nod. He wouldn’t give her the words, but he could at least acknowledge her claim.
It appeared she noted the difference, too, with Daria frowning up at him as she muttered, “I’m going to make you say you’re mine, one way or another.”
This time, he was unable to resist laughing. “You can try.” He could see she had a retort ready, and though hearing it would likely amuse him, right now he had other more important things in mind – as she should, too.
