My heart races, the pulse of anticipation echoing in my chest as I meet his gaze. The decision lies in that moment. Whether to venture into the unknown with a man who has ignited a fire within me, or to hold back, allowing the allure of the bar’s familiar comfort to prevail.

With a mixture of nerves and exhilaration, I feel a smile tug at the corners of my lips. “You know, Ryker, the prospect of leaving this bar with a mysterious man who’s fascinated the world does sound rather tempting.”

A hint of satisfaction dances in his eyes, a spark of recognition that acknowledges the weight of our unexpected connection, found in the strangest place of all. TheSurly Mermaid. “Mystery and temptation seem to be my companions,” he muses, his tone soft yet filled with intent.

With a simple gesture, he settles our tab, much to Alex’s delight – I justknowthat he’s going to want all the details later on – and he stands, extending his hand toward me.

As I place my hand in his, I feel a surge of exhilaration and a whisper of uncertainty. The decision is made, the uncharted path chosen, and with each step we take away from the bar, across to my apartment, the excitement builds by the moment.

“Huh, you live here?” Ryker purrs as I pull out my keys. “Convenient.”

“Well, it is for me. I don’t usually bring people back with me.”

I don’t want him to get the wrong impression of me, but at the same time, I don’t want to sound like a dork either. But it doesn’t seem like Ryker is paying much attention to my words. The moment the door clicks behind him, he swings me around to face him, bringing our lips very close together. Feeling his breath on my tongue makes my whole body crackle with electric tension.

Ryker’s hand cups my cheek, his thumb brushing over my skin with a gentleness that contrasted the fire that blazed in his eyes. I’m surprised. I didn’t know he could be so… sweet.

And then, his lips meet mine – a sweet collision that sends shockwaves through my body. Time seems to stand still as our mouths move together, a dance of exploration that holds the tender vulnerability of a first kiss. The sensation is a blend of electric fire and gentle caress, an intoxicating mix that consumes my thoughts and leaves me breathless.

His lips are unexpectedly soft yet demanding, his kiss a blend of urgency and tenderness that erupts fireworks in the pit of my stomach. I need more, so much more.

He pulls back ever so slightly, and Ryker’s intense gaze holds mine, sending waves of desire rippling through my core. I lift my arms up automatically, knowing what Ryker wants without him even needing to ask. The soft fabric of my dress slides gently against my skin as Ryker tugs it upwards, revealing parts of me that I never expected a man like this to see.

“You drive me crazy, you know that?” His words dance on my skin. “You are gorgeous.”

Now that is so much better than ‘hot’ coming from Brandon’s mouth. Especially because his eager fingers are now gliding down my sides, caressing my curves, and eliciting gasps of pleasure that I haven’t ever heard come from me before.

He’s getting a little too handsy, and while it feels amazing, I should tell him everything.

“I’m a virgin!” The words blurt out of my mouth before I’m really prepared to speak. Shit, that wasn’t how I wanted to tell him.

He takes a little step back from me. “Do you want me to stop? To go?”

I shake my head emphatically. “No, not at all. I just… I thought you should know.”

To show him how much I really do want this, I take control. I grab the waistband of his jeans and yank him back to me, with my eyes locked on him the whole time. I don’t take my eyes away as I unbutton him, allowing my fingertips to graze over his rock-hard abs before reaching the waistband of his briefs. The smell of his masculinity fills my senses, making me even more excited.

“Don’t stop there,” he murmurs hoarsely, placing a firm hand on my shoulder to hold me steady while he removes the rest of his clothing. Piece by piece, revealing all of him to me.

As the last threads of material fall away, Ryker stands revealed in all his glory – broad shoulders, lean muscles, and a chest bearing faint traces of scars from past battles. Intrigued by these remnants of his life, I let my hands trace them curiously, feeling the power beneath his skin.

“You truly are a sight to behold,” I breathe out, entranced by the contrast between his vulnerability and strength. “This is what I mean about being intrigued by you.”

I can’t explain it with words, but I hope he understands.

Ryker takes my hand, guiding it to his erection, which throbs hungrily, seeking release. Gasping audibly at the size and heat of his manhood, I can’t resist reaching up to caress his thick length. I marvel at how my small touches seemed to reverberate throughout him, fueling the fire further.

In response, Ryker wraps a hand around my waist, drawing me closer so that our hips align. But then everything seems to happen in a rush, in a blur I can’t control. Our hands are everywhere, exploring every inch of each other’s bodies, heightening anticipation for the moment when we will finally come together fully, and I will know what it’s like to be with a man.

Each touch sends lightning bolts through my body, heightening desire beyond anything I’ve ever known. It’s like a dance of sensuality, teasing and pleasuring until I can’t bear it anymore.

He crashes on the bed, letting me know that we’ve reached my bedroom, and waits for me eagerly. I lower myself into his waiting embrace, sliding my eyes closed as his lips find my neck, kissing, nipping, and sucking softly until goosebumps cover my skin.

By the time my panties are gone and I can feel him teasing my entrance, I can’t handle it anymore. I buck my hips desperately, driving him inside me, surrendering easily to the intoxicating rhythm of our thrusts. The first time he plunges in to me, he does so softly and gently, teasing my body until dizziness consumes me, but it isn’t long before passion gets the better of us and we can’t stop clinging to one another.

The friction becomes more intense as Ryker touches my body expertly, making me feel everything all at once. I’m soaring into space, drowning in the endless waves of bliss that just never seem to stop coming. It’s like a tsunami has hit and there’s nothing I can do to stop myself from drowning in it.

Shit, this was worth waiting for. This was a man worth holding on to my virginity for twenty four years of my life. He’s perfect, and at least in this one glorious moment, he’s all mine.
