His lips trailed lower, over her stomach and her hips, down farther still to the juncture of her thighs. When he kissed herthere, she came undone, sensation spiraling through her body as she cried out and buried her hands in his hair, unable to take any more pleasure but not wanting him to stop.
Finally, her body went limp, sinking into the welcoming embrace of her bed as Cass trailed little kisses over her thighs, her hips, back up her stomach. He kissed each of her nipples, the slopes of her breasts, her neck.
“Briony.”
She opened her eyes and smiled lazily at him. Was it even possible to feel so relaxed? So sated?
“That was incredible.”
He smoothed her hair back from her forehead again, a simple gesture, but a tender one that made her eyes grow hot.
“Just wait.”
Before she could reply, she felt his hardness press against her core. She sucked in a breath, anticipation and nervousness tangling together as she instinctively spread her thighs. When she felt him slowly start to slip in, she sighed with contentment as their bodies started to join. How amazing to feel him—
“Ow!”
She winced as he drove himself inside her. Cass froze, his eyes widening.
“Briony?”
“Mm-hmm?”
“Is there something you forgot to tell me?”
“Like what?”
“That you’re a virgin?” Cass ground out.
“Was a virgin,” she corrected.
“And you didn’t think that was a pertinent fact?”
“I got a little distracted.”
“You should have told me.”
She sighed. “I wanted to give this to you.”
He blinked, a subtle gesture but one that spoke volumes to her about how much her answer had surprised him.
“You what?”
She inhaled and then wiggled a little. The pain had already started to recede, leaving her with a full sensation between her legs.
Cass groaned. “Don’t move.”
“Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?”
She couldn’t tell whether he laughed or groaned.
“It is, but had I known you had never experienced this before, I would have handled things in a different manner.”
She wriggled her hips once more. Not only had the pain nearly disappeared, but a little of the earlier excitement and sensation was slowly starting to return. Feeling emboldened by her new foray into the world of physical passion, she ran her fingers up over the backs of his thighs, over his rear and up his back. Cass sucked in a breath.
“Briony, if you keep that up, I might do something drastic.”
She leaned up, thrilling to the sensation of the hair on his chest scraping against the delicate skin of her breasts.
