“Take me there,” he said without hesitation. “Please Karrick. Don’t make me wait.”
How could I resist such an earnest request?
Chapter 16
Phoenix
It seemed like it took forever to get across campus to Karrick’s dorm. And even longer to climb the stairs to the floor where his room was located. He was shaking by the time we reached the door, the key missing the lock several times before we finally pushed inside.
As soon as we were in, I grabbed hold of him and pushed him against the wall. His eyes flew wide, but judging by the small whimper he made, this was exactly what he wanted. I’m just not sure he expected it to come from me of all people. He was nearly twice my size and much more macho.
“Are… Are you sure about this?” he stammered, his hands already on my waist as he pulled me close.
“Mmhmm,” I managed, pressing my lips against his. Our tongues danced together for a moment before I retreated. “Are you sure? This is… well… really new for you.”
He nodded. “I can’t resist. And… it’s just sex, right? I know how to do that. The plumbing’s just a little different.”
That’s when I paused and took a step back, feeling suddenly embarrassed. “I… uh… I’ve never done any of…thisbefore.”
Karrick stared at me for a long moment, his brown eyes filled with both concern and surprise. “But… But you’re so beautiful,” was his response.
That made my cheeks burn with delight. “I wasn’t allowed to get out,” I said with a small shrug. “So, I never… you know… got to date or do anything else.”
“You’re a virgin then?”
I hated that word. It always filled me with shame. Everyone always made it seem like it was the worst crime anyone could commit. But I nodded anyway, unwilling to lie about it.
“It’s okay,” he said, his arms tightening around me. “There’s nothing wrong with that at all. And honestly…” He paused for a moment, biting his lower lip. “Is it wrong that I’m like…stupidlyhappy to be your first?”
“No,” I answered, running my hands over his chest. “I’m glad it’s you because Itrustyou, Karrick. I know you won’t hurt me.”
He smiled wide. “I trust you too, Phoenix.”
Now that he knew, I didn’t want to wait any longer. Icouldn’t. My cock was so hard it was almost painful, and my pants were not made to accommodate that sort of excitement. They needed to come off. And I wanted Karrick,desperately. More than I’d ever wanted anything else in my entire life. I couldn’t explain the bond I felt toward him, but I knew I needed this. Neededhim.
When I tugged at the hem of his hoodie, it was a clear request to remove it. Karrick pulled back just enough to yank it over his head and toss it aside. My eyes widened as I took in the sight of his bare torso, my gaze traveling over the dark fur that covered his muscled chest and abdomen. He was far more muscular than I first thought, and it gave me more of a thrill than I expected.
“You’re beautiful,” I breathed, laying my palm flat against his chest and curling my fingers through his fur.
“You don’t want me in human form?” he asked sheepishly. “You know, for your first time?”
“Hell no,” I snapped, grabbing his neck and pulling him down sowe were eye to eye. “I like you just the way you are. Therealyou.” Then, taking a deep breath, I reached out with my other hand and cupped his massive cock through his jeans drawing a gasp from his lips. “And I would never ask you to change for me.”
The raw emotion that flashed across his face was worth every uncomfortable moment in the past couple of days. His eyes rolled back slightly as he pressed himself harder against my palm, a low growl rumbling from deep in his chest. The sound sent shivers through my entire body.
“Phoenix,” he whispered, my name falling from his lips like a prayer. His clawed hands found the buttons of my cream shirt, working them open with surprising gentleness despite his obvious desperation. “You have no idea what you do to me. Hell, even I don’t understand it. But I don’t care. I can’t resist anymore.”
I could feel the heat radiating from his body as he pushed the fabric off my shoulders, his rough fingertips trailing over my bare skin. Everywhere he touched felt like it was on fire, and I wondered if this was what magic was supposed to feel like, not the controlled flames I conjured in class, but something wild and consuming.
“Show me,” I breathed against his neck, inhaling his woodsy scent that went straight to my cock.
His hands moved to my suspenders, sliding them down my arms before working at my zipper. I did the same, my fingers fumbling with his jeans until we were both free of the confining fabric. When I looked down and saw his cock fully exposed, my breath caught. He was massive everywhere, thick and heavy and already glistening at the tip.
“We’ll go slow,” he promised, lifting me effortlessly and carrying me toward his narrow dorm bed. “I’ll take care of you.”
As he laid me down with infinite care, I realized I’d never felt safer or more desired in my entire life. The way he looked at me, like I was something precious and perfect, made my chest tight with an emotion I couldn’t name.
His eyes never left mine as he settled beside me on the narrowmattress, one large hand coming up to cup my face. The contrast between his dark fur and my pale skin was striking, and I found myself mesmerized by the sight of his clawed fingers stroking my cheek with impossible tenderness.
