21. Kathleen

"Kathleen," Draknir breathes against my mouth, his heart thundering against my chest.

He pulls away slowly, looking down. His eyes are blown with desire. I feel it too, but I'm hesitant.

"I"m nervous." I say, my voice shakes and I can feel my cheeks heat with embarrassment. I have spent my life not being good enough, and this is yet another obstacle between me and others.

"Don"t be afraid, I'll be gentle. But," he pauses holding my gaze, "we don"t have to do this."

"It"s not that," the words come out slowly and feel thick in my mouth. "I"ve never done this before. With anyone."

I lower my head, the shame burning behind my eyes.

"Kathleen," he says, lifting my chin to look at him. "We can go slow."

"Will it hurt?" I ask in a small voice.

"If it does, you can tell me to stop at any time."

"Kiss me," I say for a second time tonight.

His lips meet mine, tentatively at first, like he"s afraid that if he presses too hard, he"ll break me.

His fingers intertwine with mine, guiding them up to rest on his chest. His heart beats strongly beneath my palm as I sink into the feeling of being so close to him.

Our kiss deepens, and I taste the sweetness of his tongue as it glides against my own. A soft moan escapes my throat as I lean in closer, our bodies melting together into one. He cradles my face gently, tracing the outline of my jaw.

We pull away slowly, panting slightly, catching our breath. Draknir looks into my eyes with such tenderness that it takes my breath away all over again.

"You're so beautiful," he whispers softly before lowering himself back down to nibble at my neck playfully. Heat pools low in my stomach. I feel the need to press my thighs together, the throbbing at the juncture is ramping up with every kiss.

"Draknir," I breathe. These sensations are new to me. A searing warmth spreads across my cheeks and chest melts down low to my core.

He slowly backs me to the edge of the enormous bed and lifts me effortlessly, his mouth never leaving mine. I let out a soft moan as Draknir eases us back onto the soft, plush bedding.

He continues to kiss me, his tongue gently pushing past my lips as I open up to him. His hands roam down my back, tracing the contours of my spine before cupping my bottom and pulling me closer.

His taste is exhilarating.

I can"t help but arch into him as he trails kisses down my jawline and along the side of my neck. I gasp when he bites gently on my earlobe, sending tingles through my body. He nips at the tender flesh making me squirm under him in anticipation.

His hand travels up my thigh, slowly as we kiss passionately. My head starts to spin from the overwhelming sensations - his lips brushing against mine, his scent filling my nostrils with each breath I take.

The bed shifts as he hovers his weight above me, reaching down to slowly remove my clothing. "It"s okay," he whispers, his words hold a strangled grit to them.

I relax, allowing him to undress me. I"ve never been this bare before in front of someone who actually seems to care.

"Gods," he whispers, as his eyes roam hungrily across my body. I stifle the urge to cover up and reach up to help him undress.

I can"t help but to eye the bulge in the front of his pants, as his entire length springs free a soft gasp escapes me. He eyes me knowingly, and dips down to trail soft kisses down my body. The sensation ripples through me, warming with building desire. My center throbs needily, as Draknir"s kisses tease between my thighs.

My skin tingles under his touch. He trails hot, open-mouthed kisses back up my body nipping at my breasts causing my nipples stiffen and peak. His breath catches at the sight, and I blush bright red under his gaze. Trembling slightly, I close my eyes, waiting for what comes next.

His lips find one of my hardened nipples and he kisses it gently before sucking it into his mouth, eliciting a soft moan from me. He lets a hand travel down to cup my other breast, squeezing it gently, teasing the nipple between his thumb and forefinger. His warm breath cools as he returns downward, kissing and licking a path towards my stomach, causing goosebumps to rise in its wake.

I arch into him with a whimper as his tongue brushes against my entrance. My legs instinctively fall wider to give him better access. Despite my nervousness and instinct to clamp my legs closed I"m eager for more of his touch. He nuzzles his face into the crook of my thigh, sending shivers down my legs as he peppers soft kisses there too.

The mix of sensations is new. My nerves tingle and I'm assaulted by emotions pinging from ear reddening dread to desire.

He slides his palm across my folds, and I become aware of the accumulation of slickness that allows a testing finger to slip inside. My walls tense around him as I tense at the unexpected intrusion.

"Relax, Kathleen, I've got you." He breathes a sharp breath, "You"re so wet," the strained gruff sound of his voice elicits a whimpering moan from me as he slips another finger inside me.

As Draknir"s fingers sink deeper within me, I feel every bit of the intimacy and vulnerability wash over me. He looks up at me with hooded eyes, his gaze set ablaze with lust. It fills me with a desire for something I don"t have words for.

The sensation of being touched by him is both exhilarating and terrifying but I can"t help but want more. His tongue flicks against my sensitive folds, causing goosebumps to rise in its wake.

"Draknir," I breathe headily. "I want... I need more."

I whimper, unsure of what it is I"m asking for. My voice is hoarse with need as he continues to tease me like this.

He smiles against my skin, reveling in the power he has over me. He moves to press against me once again in a deep kiss that leaves me breathless before pulling away to look into my eyes.

He trails kisses down my jawline and neck until he reaches the valley between my breasts where he takes a hardened nipple into his mouth once more sending waves of pleasure coursing through me.

"Please," I moan, a desperate need for a fullness I"ve never experienced threatens to consume me.

Draknir"s face breaks into a sensual grin as he hears my plea. His hand gently guides his cock toward my entrance, teasing the sensitive folds of my pussy with the tip. The head of his cock pushes against me, and I gasp softly, feeling the burning warmth of his skin against mine.

He holds still for a moment, letting my inexperienced body get used to the sensation before he begins to push inside slowly. With every inch that disappears into me, I feel a new wave of pleasure course through my veins. The stretch is unexpected but not unwelcome; it only heightens the sensations building inside me.

As he slides deeper, I bite down on my lip to stifle the moans that threaten to escape. His hips meet resistance from my tightness, but he doesn"t stop. He slowly pushes further into me until he"s buried deep inside.

My eyes roll back in pleasure as I feel him fill me completely. His thick length stretches my walls and forces me to accommodate him, making room for more. He lets out a long breath as he bottoms out, his hips meeting mine perfectly.

He grinds against me slowly, teasing both our nerves with exquisite friction. His free hand holds onto my hip tightly while the other runs through my hair, pulling gently as if guiding me to look into his eyes.

"Is this, okay?" he asks, his voice comes out clipped with restraint as he stills waiting for me to answer.

I take stock of my body and the sensations coursing through. I clench down around the thickness of his shaft and feel him twitch inside me. His eyes widen in response as a lustful smirk overcomes his face.

"I want it. I want you; I need..." I pause not knowing what to say.

"Don"t worry, I know," he says gently, but his words come out thick with lust. With that, he begins to move in a rhythm, slowly at first, and I savor the feeling of him taking me as his own.

His free hand cups my cheek as he gazes down at me, watching my face contort in pleasure. My eyes roll back into my head, and he groans.

"Look at you," he murmurs, breath hitching.

His control snaps.

He slides out almost completely before plunging back in, hitting that spot inside me that sends shivers through both of our bodies. I gasp and arch my back off the bed as he does it again and again, each time driving me closer to the edge. With every thrust, my walls clamp down on him, and I can feel our hearts beating together.

"Yes," I moan, unable to hold back my climax any longer as he reaches into me so deeply. My nails dig into his shoulders as I feel myself melting around him, and my hips buck up against his.

The feeling of being filled, claimed, owned by him is unlike anything I"ve ever experienced before. His heavy breaths mix with mine as we both lose control together. My walls clamp down on his shaft, and I can feel his cock throbbing as he fills me, finishing with a feral growl before dropping his head into my neck, his warm pants tickling my sensitive skin.
