Breaking the kiss, he moves to pull my nipple into his mouth. My toes curl and I tighten my legs around his waist. There’s a connection flowing through us.

“Jace, yes,” I moan.

He picks up the pace and I can do nothing but hold on to his back, digging my nails in. He slips a hand under my ass and tilts my hip up. His thrusts are deeper like this.

“Oh.”

“You don’t like that?”

“Yes, I do.”

“You’re so wet. Tell me what you like. I want to make this good for you.”

“I don’t know what I like. I was a virgin before Gio,” I pant. “This is nice though. Don’t stop.”

He pulls a face. I bite my lip, not knowing what to say. It feels amazing. Although it feels like he’s a little unsure of himself.

He pulls out and rolls me onto my side, reentering me from behind. Wrapping his arms around me, he pumps his hips into me as he holds me in a hug and nuzzles his bearded face into my neck.

“Jace,” I cry out and grasp his hands.

He moves one of his big thighs between my legs and plants his foot into the mattress as he really gets into it. It’s still not rough, but just right. His deep, heavy breaths and groans are right in my ear. I’m going to come like this.

I feel him swelling inside me and panic. Gio didn’t say if we should use condoms or not. I wasn’t thinking because it’s not something I worry about with Gio.

I’ve been on the pill for years, but I don’t want to do anything that will make Gio upset. The sound of Jace’s hips slapping against my ass and the feel of his balls slapping against me pulls me out of my thoughts.

“Ny,” he groans as he pulls out and comes in his hand.

I lie there with my eyes closed. I didn’t know I’d feel so guilty after. I curl into myself and hold on to my knees.

Jace gets up. I’m lost in my thoughts while he’s gone. When he returns, he brushes a hand over my hair and kisses my head.

“Will you let me clean you up?”

I turn onto my back and allow him to clean between my legs. He looks me in the eyes and sadness fills his green gaze. I sit up and brush a lock of hair from his face that’s slipped free.

“We don’t have to do this again.”

“Why not?”

“You hated it.”

“No, I didn’t. I feel bad that I liked it. I really liked it.”

He gives me that little Jace smile I love so much and leans in to kiss me. I wrap an arm around his waist and hug him to me. After a few beats, he tosses the towel and positions us in the bed so he can spoon me. Then we talk like this is a normal part of our day.

Jace

I put on a pair of basketball shorts and wrap a sleeping Ny in a blanket. Lifting her into my arms, I use the hidden passageway to carry her to Gio’s bedroom. She only stirs a little as I carry her.

She’s so beautiful. Making love to her was everything I thought it would be and more. However, I’ve heard her scream for Gio. I didn’t think she was enjoying it at first.

After we talked, I understood. She was in her head the entire time. The second time, after we talked some, it was different. I think we were both more relaxed and in the moment.

“I almost shot your ass,” Gio grumbles as he aims his gun at me when I come through the hidden door into his room.

He puts the gun down and picks up the glass beside him. I move to place Ny in the bed beside him. He glares at me.

“Did you enjoy yourself?”

“Gio, don’t. We can talk in the morning.”

“It was a simple question.”

“I love her. It was the best night of my life. I lost my virginity to the only girl I’ve ever loved.”

His mouth drops open and he blinks at me in shock. I tighten my fists at my sides and look away from him as I work my jaw.

“Fuck outa here. I thought…Cindy Applegate? No?”

“No, it’s always been Ny for me.”

“Why didn’t you say something?”

“Gio, Riccardo has been calling me a faggot all my life. There was a point when I wondered if he saw something I didn’t. I didn’t want to tell you and you look at me differently. I knew I’d never be her first, but I wanted her to be mine.”

“Fuck.”

I turn to head back the way I came. I get to the door when Gio calls my name. I turn to look at him. He has moved Ny to the center of the bed.

“It will be tight, but come on. Stay. It will be like our sleepovers when we were little. You should get to spend the night with her.”
