Chapter 7

Taylor stumbled once again as she walked up the steps to her house. She had lost track of her wine and being tipsy was the price she had to pay. Conner had stayed by her side all night and she was slowly becoming more attracted to him as time passed. It was so strange how different they appeared on the outside but how similar they were.

“Are you sure you can make it to bed?” he asked.

“No” she replied, “I’ll probably just start crawling the moment I get inside.”

She found it easy to be herself around him, which was something she hadn’t felt in her last date.

“I should walk you in,” he said while flashing her a concerning expression.

“Are you going to take advantage of me?” she heard herself ask.

Somehow, it felt as if another person was controlling her.

“I would never,” he said with too much conviction.

“Why not?” she asked. “Why am I not desirable to anyone?”

They were inside her house now and he held her upright, so she didn’t stagger to the ground. This close, she could see the whiskers of hair coming out on his chin and smell the light cologne he used.

“Is that what you think?” he asked, pinning her with a concerning look. “Besides the fact that you threatened me the first time I came into this house, you’re the most desirable woman I’ve ever met.”

“Then how come you haven’t kissed me,” she asked.

She wanted to stop the words, but they tumbled out of her mouth uncontrollably. She made a mental note not to drink so much ever again.

“I didn’t know you wanted me to kiss you,” he said, brushing her hair from her face.

“I have no idea,” she replied, “I just know I haven’t been able to find anyone and no-one seems to be interested in women like me anymore.”

“You’re crazy if you think anyone can resist those beautiful eyes and that smile of yours,” he said.

He lowered his head and kissed her. Having only ever been kissed by one man, she had no idea that kisses could be this explosive. The moment his lips touched hers, she felt butterflies in her stomach and she had to hold onto him for support. He wrapped one hand around her waist and pulled her to him.

“Are you sure this is what you want?” he asked, raising his head to look at her

She wondered his question for a moment and she knew it was a mistake but it felt so good already. She didn’t want him to stop kissing her.

“We should worry about tonight’s mistakes tomorrow,” she said.

He didn’t hesitate as he lowered his head once again and began kissing her. He was a large man and she pressed her palms into his rock-hard abs and felt the heat of his body radiating beneath her hands.

“Let’s go upstairs,” she said.

She led him through the house and to her room on the second floor. Minutes before, she had been hazy but now with the prospect of this man in her bed, she was fully engaged and eager to make love to him.

As she opened the door to her bedroom and stepped inside, she began to feel more nervous than she had before. She turned to face him, and he must have noticed the change and so he stepped back.

“We don’t have to do this,” he said. “I can go, maybe come back in the morning.”

She chuckled and slowly reached up to pull her hair up. She turned to the motion for him to undo the zipper of her dress.

“Can you help me?” she asked innocently.

She waited and soon felt the warmth of his hands on her shoulders and then he was undoing her zipper. She allowed her hair to fall and pulled the dress off her shoulders. It fell to the ground in a pool and she kicked it across the room before turning to face him. She gave herself a pat on the back for choosing to wear her pink lingeries today instead of the mismatched red and purple underwear she had chosen earlier.

“Wow,” he said, “you seem oddly prepared for this. Was it your plan to trick me into your bed?”

Once again, she couldn’t help laughing. How was he managing to be so calm when her nerves were on edge and she was horny, anxious, and scared all at once?

“Would you believe me if I told you it was my plan all along?” she said walking seductively towards him, as seductively as she could.

“I knew it” he replied. “That first night, I could see it in your eyes.”

By now she was standing inches from him and the look in his eyes told her that he wanted her and from the way her body reacted, she wanted him too.

He pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it aside before pulling her towards him. As he held her, she felt his hands artfully undoing her bra and her breasts sprang free. His hand replaced her bra and the sudden rush of adrenaline that coursed through her as his hands brushed against her tender skin sent chills through her body.

In one swoop, he picked her up and walked over to the bed and lowered her. Before joining her, he kicked off his shorts.

“You don’t look too bad,” she said as he settled himself above her.

“You should see me in the daylight,” he bragged.

She was about to say something but then the air left her lungs when he lowered his lips to her neck.

“Oh my,” she whispered.

It was then that it occurred to her that she should tell him that she was still a virgin. There was a part of her that wanted to but then there was also a part of her that wondered if he would think she was a bit abnormal since she was a grown woman who had never had sex before.

“Taylor,” she heard him whisper.

She looked down and saw him looking up at her.

“Is everything alright?” he asked.

“Umm,” she said.

“Second thoughts?” he asked.

“No,” she replied, “I have to tell you something.”

“You’re really a guy?” he asked, “because I already knew. I always knew.”

“Be serious,” she chided, “I’m a virgin.”

The way he looked at her told her that he was shocked.

“You are?” he asked, “or is that the joke.”

“I am” she replied. “I never really got around to losing it. It wasn’t a big deal. It still isn’t”

“I see,” he replied with a smile.

“Does that make me weird?” she asked

“No,” he replied. “I don’t think it’s weird at all.”

She let out a sigh of relief and he reached up to kiss her again.

“I will have to be careful,” he said. “We can start slowly.”

She was about to ask how he planned to do that when she felt his hand tugging at her underwear. He sat up and pulled it off before settling himself between her legs. She thought he was going to start but then she felt his hand between her legs and soon he slipped his finger inside her. She was shocked at the way her body reacted so wantonly to his touch. Her hips arched upwards and her breasts tingled as he played with her.

“Feels good?” he asked, kissing her tummy.

“Mmhm,” she managed to mumble.

The force inside her began to build until she felt as if she was about to explode. It was in that moment that she felt his lips against her inner thigh. She arched her body off the bed and he placed his head in between her legs. Her orgasm came instantly and as she convulsed on the bed, she felt him kissing her cheeks gently.

He waited until her breathing settled before he settled himself between her legs. She felt the hilt of his penis pressing against her and she held her breath preparing for him to enter her.

“It may hurt at first,” he whispered.

She smiled and nodded.

“I know how this works.” She replied

All her sassiness went out the window as he entered her. It felt strange having him inside her, almost as if he didn’t fit. She rocked her hips trying to become comfortable when she felt a sharp pain.

“Ouch,” she said looking up into his eyes. He didn’t look away. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed her gently.

He moved slowly at first and she began to adjust to the feeling of him inside her and soon, she began to enjoy it. With each thrust, she felt herself moving closer to her orgasm.

“I think I’m going to burst,” she said, unable to control the feeling that she was going to explode

A moment later she was gasping for air as she came violently. Conner was right behind her in a few thrusts and he slumped over her as his breathing settled.

“You’ve blown my mind,” he said, rolling over and pulling her with him so that she was cradled in his arms.

“I should say that,” she replied, “if I had known it was that good, I would have done it long ago.”

“It’s not always this good,” he said, looking down at her with a strange guarded expression.

“Well, then I’m glad I had you to show me just how good it could be,” she replied.

“Hey, I knew you’d bang me the very first time I saw you.”

Taylor laughed. She was struck by how natural it felt to be held by him. He smiled down at her but she was too tired to stay up. She fell asleep in his arms.
