how
many, but…” I turned my head away from him humiliated again at my inexperience.
“Hey, please don’t turn away from
me,” Ash said softly as he used his hand to turn my chin so I was looking in
his eyes once again. I willed my tears back as they threatened to pool in my
eyes; I was NOT going to cry. What in the hell was wrong with me? I went from laughing
hysterically one minute to crying the next.
“There’s no reason for you to be
embarrassed,” he continued. His hand moved from beneath my chin to my cheek
where he gently stroked back and forth with his thumb.
“You are breathtakingly beautiful,
incredibly talented, obviously intelligent, and when I look into your eyes I
see the most pure, untainted soul of anyone I have ever met. Your innocence and
inexperience only increases your sexiness and sensuality. You, Scarlett
Alexandria MacGregor , truly are an enigma.”
The thumb that had been caressing
my cheek moved to my bottom lip and I instinctively opened my mouth. I flicked
my tongue over the tip of his thumb, tasting his sweet flesh, before drawing it
into my mouth and sucking on it. Ash inhaled deeply and his eyes darkened to a
stormy blue. He broke our stare and shifted his desire-filled gaze to my mouth,
watching me provocatively play with his thumb ~ licking, sucking, biting.
Without removing his hand from my
mouth, Ash leaned his face to mine and seared my lips with his. His lips were
neither soft nor rough, they were just perfect, there was no other way to describe it. Our lips fit together as if they were made for
one another, our tongues danced as if they had been partners for years. For
what seemed like forever, we kissed and licked and nipped at each other’s
mouths, exploring and devouring . His hands tangled in
my dark hair and every so often he would lightly tug on it, forcing me to tilt
my head back so he could kiss across my jawline and down my neck. He pulled my
hair with more force and I experienced a stimulating mixture of pain and
pleasure, which caused a moan to escape from the back of my throat. I hadn’t
been kissed many times in my life, but I knew instantly that nothing would ever
compare to this first kiss that I shared with Ash.
Disappointment washed over me as I
felt him withdraw from my mouth. He rolled over so he was no longer on top of
me but instead sitting next to me on the bed. Immediately, my body craved to be
pressed up against his again.
“I’m sorry,” he said as he ran his
hands through his hair. I noticed he did that often when he was either
frustrated or at a loss for words.
“I swore that I wouldn’t do that,
and look at me - we haven’t even been in here ten minutes and I’m already
breaking that promise.” He looked over at me guiltily.
“It’s okay. Please don’t say
you’re sorry,” I confessed with a sheepish smile. “It’s not like I wasn’t a
willing participant. I wanted that as much as you did.” Probably even more so,
but I wasn’t about to tell him that.
“Come over here,” he said,
returning my smile as he pulled me into his arms. “Let’s lay down. It’s after
4:00 in the morning and I’m keeping you from getting any sleep. We will have
other nights to talk.”
He positioned us so that we were
in the spooning position, my back tucked up snugly against his chest and his
right arm draped across my middle. He peppered kisses up and down my neck, from
my earlobe to my shoulder and then back again. I forced myself to stop
overanalyzing the situation, overwhelmed at the onslaught of emotions, and
enjoyed the moment for what it was.
“So soft, so sweet. My little butterfly. My beautiful Psyche.” Ash murmured as
he nuzzled his face in the nape of my neck. I had found heaven. I didn’t really
know what he was talking about or what he had called me, but nothing could ruin
my perfect night. That was the last thought I remembered having before I
drifted into a blissful sleep.
