Chapter 32

"No one can tell you how amazing it is. You must experience a moment like this yourself to truly understand." ~ Emjay

I awake to Damian's lips pressed gently against my forehead. The tender kiss is like a soft caress. Tingles spread throughout my body, radiating from the point of contact. The sensation is both electric and soothing. A paradox that leaves me breathless. Desire, unlike anything I've ever experienced, consumes me from just that chaste act. It's an almost instinctual yearning. A deep-seated need that I can't quite understand but desperately want to explore.

Suddenly, I'm acutely aware of his body pressed against mine, his member poking into my side—a reminder of his arousal. The realization sends a shiver through me, one that mingles excitement with nervous anticipation. I'm overwhelmed by the need to experience my first kiss. The desire eclipses all other thoughts. It's something I want, something I can finally be grateful for. Men who use women's bodies for their own pleasure often care nothing for kissing, but Damian is different. There's an intimacy in his touch, and a respect that makes this moment feel sacred.

My eyelids flutter open, and I stare into the amber irises of my mate. Those eyes, so full of warmth and unspoken promises, make my heart race. "Damian," I whisper, my voice trembling with nerves and excitement, "I've never experienced a kiss."

The surprise on his face is fleeting, quickly replaced by a look of deep desire. His pupils widen, and a slow, tender smile graces his lips. He reaches up, brushing his fingers against my skin as he gently pushes the hair from my brows. The gesture is so intimate, so caring, that my breath catches. He leans in with a deliberate slowness, closing the distance between us. His lips meet mine in a kiss that is both soft and full of promise, igniting a fire within me. And the world fades away.

The kiss is gentle yet filled with a passion that makes it hard to breathe. His lips are warm and inviting. He moves against mine with such tenderness that my heart swells. It was nothing like I'd imagined, and everything I'd desired.

With his hand on the small of my back, he pulls me closer and deepens the kiss. The sensation is irresistible. Pure pleasure and bliss. I wrap my arms around his neck, losing myself in the moment.

When we finally pull away, we're both breathless. Our cheeks flushed with happiness. I open my lids to find Damian staring at me with pure adoration on his face.

"Was that okay?" he asks with concern in his tone.

A smile spreads across my face. "It was perfect. It was more than I dreamed it would be."

His eyes shine with happiness, and he smiles back. "I'm glad," he says, pulling me into a tight embrace. "Because it was perfect for me too. I'm honored to be your first."

Lying wrapped in each other's arms, I know that this moment will be one I'll cherish forever. It's the beginning of something beautiful, something that will change my life in ways I can't even imagine.
