The tears pooled in my eyes instantly at what I saw and mere moments later, slid out the sides.
Because his eyes were gazing in mine. His beautiful blue eyes, in his handsome face, on top of his amazing body. The eyes of a man who was all man.
And they were wet.
Oh my fraking God.
His hand came to my jaw, cupping it, his thumb sweeping across my cheekbone but he didn’t watch his thumb. His eyes never left mine and he didn’t hide it, he didn’t fight it.
I gave him my virginity.
He gave that to me.
It was the most beautiful gift I’d ever received.
Then he whispered, “I wanna see to you. Will you let me do that, Faye?”
I’d let him do anything.
Anything.
Even though I had no idea what he was talking about.
“Yes,” I answered.
His head dropped and, his lips on mine, he whispered, “Thank you.”
Then he touched his mouth to mine, gently, slowly slid out and he saw to me.
This being, he rolled out of bed, carefully gathering me in his arms and taking me with him. He then carried me to the bathroom and set my booty on the vanity counter. It was dark, only the light from the bedroom lighting the space. I saw his semi-shadow moving around as he turned on the taps of the tub. Then he moved to the little room that held the toilet, I heard it flush and he came back into the room.
The subdued light shown on his na**d body and I had my first glimpse of all that was Chace.
It was no less beautiful than my thirteen years of imagining made it out to be, broad shoulders, wide wall of chest, defined collarbone, muscled thighs, ridged abs, slim hips, cut hipbones.
But the sexy sprinkling of chest hair that spread out under his collarbone, over his pectorals, ribs, belly and led to the thicker hair above and around his beautiful c**k was a bonus I didn’t expect.
He stopped in front of me at the basin, gently pulled my nightie from under my booty and I held my breath as I lifted my arms and he tugged it off.
Before I could be embarrassed about being na**d in front of him, he lifted me in his arms again and set me on my feet beside the tub. Then he guided me and we climbed and settled in together, Chace behind me, his legs surrounding me, knees bent, me reclining between them back against his chest as the tub filled with hot, soothing water.
“Just relax, Faye,” he urged gently, his arms circling me, one at my ribs, one at my chest.
“Okay,” I whispered and it wasn’t a lie. It was impossible not to relax in that shadowed room, in that hot water with Chace all around me after having two orgasms.
“You’re beautiful, baby,” he said softly in my ear, one of his hands gliding over my belly. I suspected, through the shadows and over my shoulder, he was looking at me.
God, I hoped he thought so.
“Okay,” I repeated quietly, not as sure about that one.
“All mine,” he muttered. “Christ, finally, all mine.”
I closed my eyes, pulled in breath and relaxed deeper against his chest.
I felt him shift, his lips at my neck he kept muttering, “Thirteen years, all mine.”
That meant something, what I said to him. I knew it. Since after I said it, he showed me by making himself vulnerable to me, I knew it had to mean a lot.
