her again and again. Wet warmth pooled between her legs and when he let go of one of her hips, he trailed a finger down between her legs and slowly slid it inside of her.

“Rhys,” she called, her knees a bit wobbly. She held on to his shoulders as he slid his finger in and out.

“Let me touch you, Julianna,” he said between licks.

“Yes,” she called, tossing her head back, her long blond hair trailing down to her buttocks.

Rhys continued to lick her again and again, while his finger kept up its gentle assault until he touched a spot inside her that made her cry out.

She stared down at him in wonder. “What was that?” she breathed.

“Shh,” he whispered against her thigh. “Just let me touch you.” He slid his finger in again, pressing against the tender spot once more. Julianna’s knees buckled and he sucked her as she cried out and collapsed in a heap against him.

Then he turned her over and laid her against the pillows, his body trailing back down between her legs.

His mouth reached the apex between her thighs again.

Her body trembled, and her breathing came in short pants. “Rhys, I don’t think I can—”

His mouth descended onto her again. “Yes,” he breathed. “I promise you, you can.” His grin was wicked.

He licked her again and again until her body began to thrum once more, and she fisted her hands in the sheets on either side of her hips.

His finger returned to slide inside of her and this time he angled it to press on the sensitive spot from another direction.

“Oh, God, Rhys,” she called, her head thrown back, her breasts thrust forward, her gorgeous body writhing with pleasure.

He licked her again and sucked on her nub, pressing against the sensitive spot until she called out his name, tears rolling down her cheeks.

He pulled himself up to look at her. “Are you all right, Julianna?”

“I…” She was panting, unable to breathe. “I…think so. I didn’t know that much pleasure was possible.”

His smile was smug. He nuzzled at her neck. “I want it to be good for you, my darling. Always.”

“It was good, Rhys,” she said, wiping away the tears. “So good. I don’t know why I’m crying.”

“It’s your body’s natural reaction to the release, Love.” He held her like that until her breathing returned to rights. She made a move to turn and descend down his body, but he held her against him.

“I want to please you, Rhys, the way you did me,” she said, her brow furrowed in confusion.

“Tonight, Julianna, I don’t think I could take it. I want to make love to you.” He kissed her deeply. “Let me make love to you.”

She smiled at him and nodded. “By all means.”

Rhys settled her back against the pillows again and moved atop her, his body trembling.

“You’re shaking,” she murmured, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“I’m nervous,” he admitted humbly. “I’ve never done this out of love before.”

Julianna’s heart nearly exploded. For a proud man like Rhys to admit something like that to her meant more than anything else. She cupped his face in her hands. She might be a virgin, but he was too in a way. “I love you, Rhys. Make me yours.”

His cock probed between her legs and Rhys held his breath as he slid into Julianna’s wet warmth. Nothing in his entire life had prepared him for the riot of emotions he felt as he finally joined his body with hers. Sex had always just been a physical act before. Now that he was doing it out of love, it was so much more.

He slid all the way in to the hilt and opened his eyes to search her face. “Did I hurt you, Julianna?”

“Not at all,” she assured him, a wide smile on her face.

He leaned down and kissed her with all the love and lust he felt for her. Then, he began to move.

He stroked slowly at first, allowing her body time to adjust to him. As sweat glistened on their skin, he began to stroke longer, deeper. He clenched his teeth, bracing himself against the ungodly pleasure, wanting to prolong it for her, to ensure she felt good yet again.

“Wrap your legs around me, Julianna,” he commanded.

She did so without hesitating and in that moment, one of his most erotic fantasies came true: Julianna’s perfect long legs were wrapped around him as he rode her. Her head tossed back and forth on the pillow, a look of pure pleasure
