He opens my shirt, one button at a time, watching my face as he does it, like he’s giving me the chance to stop him.
I don’t.
His hands slide up under the fabric, rough against my skin, and I grab onto him, pulling him closer as the sensation hits—new, overwhelming, but I don’t want it to stop.
“You like that?”
I nod against him, not trusting my voice.
His hand moves lower, between us, and I go still for a second as he works at the button of my jeans.
Then his hand slips inside.
The first touch makes me suck in a breath. I grip his shoulders harder, trying to steady myself as the sensation spreads.
When his fingertip circles my entrance, I hold my breath. He slides in slowly, slowly, and I clench tight around him.
“Does that feel good, baby?” he growls.
“Yeah,” I manage to gasp in his ear. I press my face into his shoulder as everything starts to build, faster now, sharper, something I’ve never felt before.
He kisses me again, deeper, holding me there as it peaks—
and then it breaks through me all at once.
“Gunnar, I think I’m going to—”
“That’s right, come for me, baby,” he whispers as he works those thick fingers of his in and out.
And I release.
Shuddering, trembling, clinging to him.
He draws it out of me longer and longer, until I’m finally done.
For a second, I don’t move.
Then I lift my head, looking at him.
I want more.
I reach for him, for the heat and the pressure still there between us.
He catches my wrist.
“Not here,” he says.
I frown. “Why?”
He holds my gaze.
“Because when I claim you,” he says, “it’s going to be perfect.”
I swallow. “I don’t care about perfect,” I say quietly. “I just want you.”
There’s something new in his expression—something deeper, more serious.
“You’ve got me,” he says. “All of me. But I want your first time to be what you deserve. Special.”
