“Sex.” Bella’s voice is so soft that I’m thinking I didn’t hear her right.

My eyes widen in surprise, and I stare at her in disbelief. I just saw her getting herself off in the shower like everything I’d picture the Goddess Venus to be, and she’s telling me she’s never had sex.

“What are you trying to tell me, Bella?” While I know I should be backing off or at least have been turned off a little, that primal thing inside me grows, as does my desire for her. “That you’re still a virgin?”

She raises her chin and squares her shoulders, sitting in front of me stark naked, unabashed by her nudity. Bella looks me in the eyes with defiance, replacing the hazy desire.

“Yes,” Bella answers, and I can see gooseflesh popping onto her skin as she starts to get cold, but she doesn’t flinch or try to cover up. “I’ll understand if that’s off-putting. But this is my one night of freedom to do what I want.”

“And what is it you want, Bella?” I find myself asking her again. My hands have dropped to my sides, and I watch her, trying my best to ignore her slight shudder as she gets colder.

Her eyes hold mine. I see them darken with desire again. “I came here tonight to experience freedom and desire.” She swallows. I can see the defiance flash in her eyes again before she admits, “And right now, I desire you.”

A smile lifts my lips, and I hold her gaze, ensuring she sees the reverence in my eyes as I devour her with mine. My hand cups her chin.

“Knowing you’re a virgin just makes me want you more.” Her honesty touches me. “It just complicates things a little. My family has a lot of parts to it, and they can be ruthless when it comes to business. But when it comes to some things, we are bound by a code of honor and tradition.”

The woman is full of surprises and delightful twists that have all but tied me up in knots in the short time I’ve known her. Right now, I want nothing more than to ignore that code of honor or tradition and be the one to take her to heights no one else has.

But I know, too, that if I take her virginity, I’m not going to want to let her go, nor would my conscience allow it. She is a rare jewel in this new world we live in. And I happen to like rare and beautiful things. I also know I can’t fuck her on a countertop for her first time. Even as cold and ruthless as I am, I don’t hurt women and children.

When it comes to sex, I like my woman as pleasured as I am. Besides, I’m not only my father’s son but also my mother’s, and she has high standards and is steeped in traditions.

“You know, Bella, I was raised to believe that taking a woman’s virginity is a profound honor. It’s a sacred act. It used to be a gift a woman gave her husband on their wedding night.”

I stroke her silky thigh before continuing. “It comes with the responsibility of not only awakening the woman to the world of pleasure but also vowing to protect and cherish her for life.” My fingers stop at the apex of her legs. “In my world, this act is a beacon of purity and trust, something to be revered, not taken lightly.”

I see her eyes widen as she listens to me. “I…” I put my fingers over her lips.

“So, I need you to understand the depth of what we’re about to share and be absolutely certain this is what you want. Because once I take your virginity, according to my upbringing, you become mine.”

Bella glances away, covering her breasts, and starts to shiver. I reach over and grab the shirt I brought for her, helping her to slide into it as my cock slowly begins to soften. I’m still standing between her legs, trying to fight down the disappointment of her being covered up.

I’m also trying hard to fight the urge to rip it off, lift her off the marble top, and push her down onto my twitching cock to feel her warm wet tightness cover me like a sleeve. I need to get us out of the bathroom before I put her back in the shower with me and probably scare her off sex for life.

“Bella?” She hasn’t said a word since I warned her what would happen if I took her virginity. “Are you still with me?”

She gives me a tight smile and nods. “I think I need to get my ass off this hard surface, though. It’s starting to go numb.”

“We can go have some champagne in the lounge in my office,” I suggest to her. “Helen delivered it a little while ago.”

Bella nods. I lift her from the counter, letting my body slide against hers, and I feel her pressed against my hard cock as she stands close to me with my hands still on her hips.

We stand like this for a few seconds while I struggle to regain control, which is something I’ve never struggled with before. Then again, I’ve never met anyone like Bella. I still don’t understand how someone as drop-dead gorgeous as her could still be a virgin.

I know a lot of other men would scoff at it, but I believe her. I knew there was a hint of innocence behind that brave facade of hers.

I swallow, draw in a breath, and step back for her to walk past me. My shirt has never looked so fucking good as it drops to her knees and swallows her. She reaches for her jeans, and I grab her hand to stop her.

“Don’t,” I say. “My shirt covers enough.”

I may have morals about taking a virgin, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of other ways to pleasure each other. Like what she was doing when I walked in here and thought she was in pain. Turns out I was the one that ended up in pain.

“But we’re going to sit in your office,” she points out. “What if someone comes in?”

“They won’t,” I assure her. “If it makes you feel better, I’ll lock the door.”

She leaves her pants, and I indicate for her to exit the bathroom. As she turns her back, I adjust my cock into a more comfortable position.
