Chapter 20

DIANA

Hudson's lips met mine in a tender kiss, and a rush of emotions swept over me. In that moment, surrounded by the ruins of Bannerman Castle, with the soft glow of candles illuminating our faces, I knew that this was a night I would never forget. I wanted him. He was the one I had been waiting for all my life. And I couldn't think of a more romantic setting for it.

Throwing caution to the wind, I allowed myself to get lost in the moment. Tonight had been too perfect, too magical. I surrendered to the intoxicating allure of the man standing before me. His hands slid to my hips, holding my body against his.

As the kiss deepened, desire surged through my veins. My body was burning for him. I had never been this tempted to lose my virginity. No man had ever awoken these desperate urges inside me. Every cell in my body was telling me he was the one I could trust to embark on this new part of life. He would treat me like a proper man should treat a woman.

"Hudson, take me, right here, right now."

He paused, his eyes searching mine. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you think that's what I wanted."

"You don't want me?"

"Fuck yeah, I do," he said, his eyes dark with lust. "But I don't want you to feel pressured."

"I don't," I said. "I just want you. I want to be with you on this beautiful night in this amazing place."

"Are you sure you're ready?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. "I didn't do all this to get anything in return. I'll take it as slow as you want."

I smiled softly, my heart swelling with affection for this incredible man. "I'm sure," I replied, my voice filled with conviction. "I want this, Hudson. With you. Please. I trust you to do this right. We're all alone out here until the boat comes back in a few hours. I trust you not to hurt me. I need you to be the first."

Hudson's eyes softened and he pulled me into the one room that had been cleaned with a solid floor. I watched him push the table and chairs out of the way before he reached for me. I eagerly went into his arms. He leaned down and kissed me again, this time with a newfound passion that left me trembling with desire.

As his hands began to explore my body, I let out a soft moan, unable to control the pleasure burning my veins. I had never felt so alive, so wanted, so completely desired.

"We'll go slow," he whispered. "We have time. I want to do this right."

I nodded, trusting him and loving that he took my feelings into consideration. Hudson gently unzipped my dress, revealing the delicate lace of my bra. I shivered at his touch, my heart racing. His fingers traced the outline of my curves, but then, infuriatingly he paused, terrible uncertainty clouding his eyes.

"Are you sure?" he asked again, his voice barely above a whisper. "I don't want you to regret this in the morning."

"I want this Hudson," I whispered.

He took a deep breath and pushed my dress down my hips. I stepped out of it and stood before him in the matching lace bra and thong. He licked his lips, his eyes devouring me. "You are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," he said, his voice hoarse with emotion.

I could see the sincerity in his eyes, and it made me blush. He reached out, gently running a finger along my cheek. "I'll take care of you, Diana," he promised.

He pulled off his shirt and tossed it on the round table. I groaned when I saw his chest. He was a chiseled god. I had to reach out and touch his chest and abs to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Hudson returned the favor, running his hands down my back, tracing the curves of my spine. I closed my eyes and let out a soft sigh, savoring the feel of his touch. His lips brushed against my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

"You're mine, Diana," he whispered, his breath sending further shivers through me.

My heart swelled with happiness at his words. I wanted to be his.

His mouth moved over my neck, sending heat spreading through my body. He continued to kiss and nibble on my neck, my head falling back in pure pleasure. His hard cock pressed against my stomach in a surprisingly enjoyable way. I knew he wanted me just as much as I wanted him. I reached down and touched it, feeling its hardness through his clothes.

He groaned, his lips still on my neck. "You're driving me crazy, Diana," he said, his voice rough with desire.

I traced the outline of his dick, feeling the throbbing need. I wanted it inside me to fill my aching core.

As he continued to explore my body with his hands, the heat built between us, the need for intimacy growing stronger. I knew that this moment would change everything, and I was ready to embrace it, to give myself to Hudson completely.

I wanted to see him—all of him. I reached for his belt, and with trembling fingers, I managed to get it open. "Hold on," he said. "Let's lie down. I know it's a hard floor and maybe not the most romantic, but unless you want to wait until we can get back to your house, this is it."

"I don't care about the floor," I said.

I quickly sat down and looked up at him. Staring into my eyes, he stepped out of his pants, revealing his strong, muscular legs. He was every bit the man I had been dreaming of. He squatted down and pulled off my high heels, then gently laid me down on the floor, cool against my heated skin.

I closed my eyes as he slowly began to remove my bra and thong, his touch sending shivers through me with every gentle caress. He took his time, savoring each moment as he revealed more and more of my skin to his hungry gaze. Desire was building between us, a raw, animalistic need that threatened to consume us both.

He stretched out beside me, his fingertips sliding over my body, tracing through the valley between my breasts and over my belly. Slowly, he moved lower, dancing over the sensitive skin of my inner thighs.

His breath was warm against my skin as he began to explore even further, his hands gently parting my legs. "I want you, Diana. More than you can imagine. I dreamed about doing this to you last night. I'm finding it hard to believe this is really happening. I'm trying to keep it reined in, but damn, I'm burning up inside."

"You dreamed about me?"

He looked at me and nodded. "Oh, yeah."

"Show me," I replied. "Show me what you did to me in your dream."

He groaned and his lips crashed into mine. His tongue probed my mouth, tasting me. The fire was burning us both up, and I could feel the raw, primal need. His hand moved back between my legs and I opened myself to him.

"Tell me if you want me to stop," he said in a husky voice.

"Don't stop."

I moaned softly as his fingers gently brushed over my sensitive skin, sending ripples of pleasure through me. His touch was so tender, yet filled with an intensity that made my heart race. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before.

Hudson's lips trailed down my neck, nibbling at my skin as his hand continued its exploration. His finger brushed over my folds before slowly pushing inside me. I gasped at the sudden invasion, my pleasure too much. Hudson's finger moved in a slow, rhythmic motion that sent waves of pleasure crashing through me.

"Does that feel good?" he whispered.

"Yes," I panted. "More than you can imagine."

He slipped another finger inside me. He continued to work his magic, his touch both tender and fierce. I could feel myself growing wetter with every passing moment, my arousal building to new heights. Hudson's other hand moved to my breast, his fingers teasing my nipple with gentle tugs and flicks.

"I'm going to make you come, Diana," he promised. "I want to see you screaming my name. You're going to be wet and ready for me."

My breath hitched as he began to thrust his fingers inside me in a slow, steady rhythm. My hips bucked against his hand, my body begging for more. He added a third finger, stretching me further as I moaned his name. I opened my legs wider, making myself completely vulnerable to him.

I groaned. My body was doing something crazy.

"That's it," he encouraged. "Let go."

Hudson continued to tease me, making me squirm with anticipation. I moaned softly, my body arching toward him, begging for more. He slowly increased the pace, his fingers working in and out of me with precision, hitting just the right spots. My moans grew louder, my breath ragged. Hudson watched me intently, his eyes locked on mine as he brought me closer and closer to the edge.

"You're so wet," he whispered. "So tight."

My body was no longer under my control. He took me over the edge, the climax slamming against me. I cried out his name as I shuddered beneath him, my body convulsing with pleasure. Hudson leaned down to catch my lips in a passionate kiss, his tongue mingling with mine as he continued to stimulate me. I clung to him, my body vibrating with need.

He reached for his pants and pulled out a condom. I wasn't going to ask why he had one. I watched through hooded eyes glazed over with ecstasy. He was big. There was a tiny bit of nerves but I was certain this would work. Men and women had been doing this forever.

He looked at me, studying me. "Are you sure?"

"Yes! Please. I've been waiting for this moment forever."

A wave of excitement washed over me as he positioned himself at my entrance. This was what I wanted. I reached up, putting my hands on his biceps and trusting him to do the rest. He looked into my eyes one last time. I felt him at my opening and waited. He slowly pushed in, just a little bit at a time.

His gaze never left mine, his movements steady and deliberate. He paused for a moment, letting me adjust to the sensation. He continued to push deeper inside me, filling me completely. I could feel him all the way to my core, sending waves of pleasure pulsing through me. He didn't move. The initial sting quickly faded and it was nothing but ecstasy.

"You feel amazing," he groaned. "So tight, so perfect."

"I like this," I murmured.

He chuckled. "Oh baby, we're just getting started. Are you good?"

"Yes."

He began to move, slowly at first, and then picking up the pace, his hips moving in a rhythm that matched the pounding of my heart. I gasped at the sensation, his thickness filling me completely, stretching me in a way I never thought possible.

If I thought the pleasure from before was intense, it was nothing compared to this. Each thrust sent waves of pleasure coursing through me, my body clinging to him as if it would never let him go. I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him deeper into me, wanting him to take me to new heights.

Hudson's hands slid up my body, gripping my shoulders and pulling me closer. His lips met mine in a fiery kiss, his tongue exploring my mouth with the same fervor as his body explored mine. My nails dug into his shoulders, the pleasure almost too much to bear. This was better than I could have ever imagined.

He began to move faster, his hips thrusting into me with a powerful rhythm. My breath hitched as I felt the pressure building deep within me. I knew this was it, the moment I'd been waiting for. My body exploded into a burst of bright light. He let out a low groan before his body stiffened and his eyes squeezed shut in pure ecstasy.

He was everything I could have hoped for and more.
