still blushing and trembling, pressing my
thighs together. The last orgasm he gave me echoes through my body, like the
aftershocks of an earthquake.
    Aiden frowns. “Really, Emma, anyone
would think you’d never had a man touch you before.”
    I glance up at him quickly before I
can stop myself. Then I look back down at my hands, hoping he can’t read my
inexperience in my face.
    “Emma?” he says.
    I only looked at him for a moment
but apparently those gray eyes are as sharp as they look. “Yes?” I whisper.
    “Exactly how many sexual partners
have you had?” he wants to know.
    “Oh, you know…”
    “No, I don’t,” he says sternly.
“Not until you tell me.”
    “Fine,” I say, half angry, half
ashamed. “ None , all right? No one in the supernatural community wants to
date a dud. Or a prudish witch, one who’s too afraid and ashamed to take off
her clothes and get naked in public—or in private for that matter.” I look down
at my hands, the words coming faster now. “I know it sounds pathetic—I’m
twenty-two and still a virgin. I probably could have found some willing guy
just for the night to get rid of it but…I’ve never wanted it to be like that. I
want it to be more than just a…just a quick fuck.”
    Goddess, I’m so stupid! My cheeks are so hot I feel like my
face is on fire as I wait for his reply. He’ll think I’m weird now, strange,
defective…
    But Aiden’s answer, when it comes,
surprised me.
    “Of course it should be more than
just a fleeting encounter—a night spent in the dark with a stranger.” He
strokes my hot cheek gently. “I must confess, I know it makes me sound old
fashioned but…I’m glad you’re a virgin.”
    “You are?” I look up at him
uncertainly.
    He nods, a little smile playing
around the corners of his sensual mouth. “Don’t forget, Emma, I come from a
time when virginity was mandatory for females until marriage.” His gray eyes
become suddenly serious. “I swear to you, darling, when I take you I’ll be sure
you’re ready for me.”
    “Th-thank you,” I stutter, my
cheeks flaming with embarrassment. Goddess, I’m such an idiot. I can’t even talk about sex without getting all flustered.
    “Your modesty does you credit,”
Aiden tells me. “And your virginity is a welcome surprise.” He sighs. “Although
we may have to take some extra measures to get you ready to make love.”
    “What?” I look up at him,
surprised. “You mean…you’re not going to…to do it tonight?”
    “Tonight?” He looks almost shocked.
“Of course not.”
    “But why?” I say, uttering the
forbidden question.
    Aiden doesn’t reprimand me. “For
one, because I think you’ve endured quite enough shocks for one night. And for
another, we have an entire year—why rush our pleasure?” His eyes are suddenly
heavy-lidded with lust as he stares at me. “And believe me, Emma, it will be a
very great pleasure to sink my cock deep into your soft little pussy and pump
you full of my cum. To claim your body with my own.”
    “Oh,” I whisper, my breath catching
in my throat. There’s something about hearing dirty talk in that low, sensual
voice that sends me into instant overdrive.
    “But that is for another time. As
for tonight…” Aiden rises from the bed. “I think it’s time you got some sleep.”
Coming around the side of the bed, he helps me slip under the satin coverlet
and cool, crisp cotton sheets below. I don’t usually sleep naked but he hasn’t
offered me anything to wear to bed and suddenly I’m incredibly tired.
    “What about you?” I manage to ask
before yawning. “I thought you said…I’d sleep in your bed.”
    “This is my bed and you will be
sleeping in it. I, however, will be sleeping elsewhere.” He strokes my cheek
gently. “You’re lovely but I don’t sleep with anyone.”
    “But…” I want to protest that I’ll
feel lonely in this huge bed all by myself but I can’t seem to get the words
out. Aiden is looking
