Chapter 5

Ishould feel embarrassed. I'd let myself be vulnerable in front of a man I hadn't even known two hours ago. I was naked in a shower with him and just had my first orgasm ever.

But something had shifted in me. It was subtle, but I felt it when I turned to look at him and saw the desire in his eyes—not to mention the erection pointed straight at me.

So instead of bowing my head shyly as I might normally have done in this situation, I gave him a naughty smile and wrapped my fingers around his cock. He wasn't under the water anymore, and I didn't want to interrupt things to reposition. He didn't seem to mind, though. Maybe he didn't notice. What I was doing to him seemed to have taken over all his senses.

I was looking down at the work my hand was doing when I felt his hand under my chin. With two fingers, he lifted my head until I was looking at him. Then he captured my mouth in another long, breathtaking kiss. At the same time, his right hand drifted to my still extra-sensitive pussy. My first instinct was to jerk away. This was his turn. But he was in charge here. I was learning.

Within seconds, my body was responding, warmth spreading to the area between my legs again. Just when I was thinking about lowering to take him in my mouth, he moved his hands to my hips and maneuvered me backward until I was against the tile wall.

I pulled my hand away as he looked down at me and said, "Hold on."

I wasn't sure what he meant until suddenly, he lifted me. My legs went around his waist, my arms over his shoulders as he held me up with one hand and guided his cock into me with the other.

"Let me know if it hurts," he said.

As he looked up at me, the intensity in his eyes went straight to my heart. No one had ever looked at me like that. It was something straight out of one of my daydreams. No, actually, I could never have imagined my first time would be with someone this incredibly hot.

And then a sharp pain pierced through my body, jerking me out of my thoughts. He was nudging inside me slowly, but his teeth were clenched, his features tightened in a grimace as he did everything he could to lessen the pain for me.

This would be much easier on a bed, but no way could I stop it now. It was too hot. I squeezed his shoulder and winced, trying to push past the pain without letting him know how bad it was. I wanted to get back to the place where this felt good.

Just as I considered stopping him and suggesting we hold this until after he'd gotten some relief, Derek pressed his lips to mine. Soon, the kiss was taking my mind off what was going on with the rest of my body.

Before I knew it, he was sliding deeper, moving out then slowly back in again. The pain settled into a dull throb. That was when I started urging him deeper with my lower legs, kissing him while encouraging him to thrust, thrust, thrust.

Finally, I had to break the kiss to catch my breath. I threw my head back, listening to the sounds of our bodies moving together, the water pouring down behind him.

"Hold on," he said.

Again, I wasn't sure what he meant at first, but then he pulled me away from the wall and carried me out of the shower and over toward the sink. His cock slid out at some point in the process, but he didn't seem to mind. Instead, he settled me onto the countertop and spread my legs even farther, gripping his erection as he moved toward me.

I couldn't take my eyes off that sight as he parted my folds with the tip, then slid slowly inside. The sight of him entering me sent a fresh wave of warmth straight to that area of my body. When finally I dragged my gaze away, I looked up at him to find he was watching me, his jaw still clenched, his light brown eyes laser focused on my face.

When our eyes met, he smiled, then reached between us and began stroking my clit with his thumb. Every nerve ending there was lit up already, which meant his touch sent sparks flying through me. I couldn't hold my eyes open anymore. I just closed them and let out a soft cry, but that only sped up his movements.

He liked it when I made sounds. That realization had me notching it up a little for him.

"Ohhh," I said. "Just like that."

His breathing quickened, but he didn't make a sound. I found myself focusing on his deep breaths, using them to remind myself how turned on he was. That only boosted my arousal, sending me spiraling up, up, up until finally my second orgasm flooded my body, this one even more powerful.

As I came down, trying once again to catch my breath, I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me. He leaned forward and kissed me, grasping my hips and edging me forward on the countertop a little. He entered me again, his breaths slowing as he focused on the kiss.

This wasn't sexual. This was a true romantic kiss. It was the kiss of someone who had feelings for the woman he was kissing.

His thrusts increased, and this time, he had to break the kiss to catch his breath. I couldn't stop watching him, his eyes closed and jaw clenched, plunging into me over and over. The sight went straight to my heart.

He came with a loud groan, gradually opening his eyes to look at me. As our eyes met, my breath caught. I'd never felt this toward anyone. Was this…love?

Great. Now I was falling for this guy. That was all I needed. It definitely wasn't what he'd signed up for. But it wouldn't be all that unexpected. Actually, it would be predictable. Sleeping with a virgin made it likely she'd fall in love, right?

I had to play it cool. I had to show Derek that he hadn't made a mistake in giving a runaway bride her first and second orgasm. So when he pulled away, I nervously grabbed my hair in one hand and slid it over to my right shoulder, looking around.

"So, I guess we should go check out that cabin of yours since that's where I'll be spending the night," I said.

His expression immediately shifted. Surprise and maybe a little confusion. His eyes narrowed as he stared me down.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

I shook my head and forced a smile to my face. "Nothing at all. I just…well, I figured I've taken up enough of your day. I can get settled in over there, maybe watch some TV or something. You do have a TV, don't you?"

He pulled back, staring down at me with a frown. I longed to see that smile of his again. I loved the little crinkles at the sides of his eyes when he smiled.

Sheesh, I really did need to get away from this guy or I was going to fall in love with him.

"I'll get dressed and take you over there," he said.

I admired his back as he exited the bathroom. Sadness overtook me at the thought of never making love to him again. Maybe, just maybe, I could hold off my feelings for another go at this before I left town for good.
