Blood's Fury (Deadly Beauties 1)

He chuckles lightly, and then he props up while staring down at me.

"Well, I'll see about rustling us up some champagne. There's got to be a store around here."

He's intent on making this special, but he doesn't realize how incredible it already is.

"I don't want you to leave right now. Just stay here, and we can do champagne another time."

He smiles so genuinely, as if I've said something wonderful, and then he pulls me closer to him.

"I can handle that."

My lips stroll over his collarbone, and his hand slides down to grip my ass, making me want more of his delicious body inside me.

"So… belated question… how old are you?" I muse, grimacing lightly for not even knowing that much about him before he plucked all the petals from my flower.

"Twenty-five… I think."

I pull back to stare at him with an arched brow. "You think?"

He laughs and then shrugs. "I told you we party a lot. Sometimes I forget things."

I shake my head, and a stupid smile spreads across my face.

"So, why didn't you tell me?" he asks curiously.

"Tell you what?"

"That you were a virgin."

My face glows red at this point. If I could hide under the covers all day, I would. He laughs a little at my embarrassment, but he refuses to let me hide.

"I didn't think you'd believe me, for one. Like you said, we almost did this that first night you were at my house. Also, I didn't want you to treat it like it was something sacred. Either you wouldn't have done anything with me, or you would have made me wait for the 'perfect place and time.' I didn't want to wait, and I didn't want to scare you off."

He smirks, and then he kisses the top of my head.

"Well, it'd be damn near impossible for you to scare me off, but I would have liked to plan out something better than a shady motel in the middle of nowhere. I wanted to plan out something better for our first time together, actually, without even knowing you were a virgin. You're too damn irresistible though."

I try my best not to giggle, but I do a little anyway. He strokes my cheek with his thumb, and then he slides over to start kissing my neck.

"For the record, I've never been one too concerned with the place or the decorations… It's always been about the who,"

I murmur softly, and I feel him smiling against my neck.

"That's good to know. Do you care if I'm your who for a while?"

The goofy grin that spreads over my face is insuppressible, and he rises up with a smile of his own as his lips lightly peck mine.

"I was hoping you'd ask that," I mutter while bringing my arms up around his neck and drawing him in for a deeper kiss.

His tongue invades my mouth once again, drawing forth that explosive heat, and then his erection grazes the insides of my thighs as he parts my legs.

"I'll be gentle," he murmurs against my mouth as he starts to slide in.

"Not too gentle. I'm not so fragile anymore," I utter with a vixen's intent, and he growls in the back of his throat as he surges in a little harder, while still showing a tender touch.

Mmm.

For the first time ever, I wake up in someone's arms, and I grin as I roll over and wrap my leg around Kane's body. He smiles down at me, looking rather alert, and I let out an involuntary giggle.
