His words baffle me, and I wonder if he understood what I was trying to express. I forget all about my virginity and my confusion when he leans over to place a soft kiss at the base of my neck. As my mind shuts down, my thoughts scatter, obliterating my ability to resist him.

“Tigress?” I wonder where he came up with that name for me.

“I took one look at your caramel and blonde streaked hair and honey eyes combined with your fierce attitude and automatically pictured a tigress ready to hold her ground.”

When he lifts me into his strong arms, I relax against his hard chest, telling myself to forget all my reservations and live for this moment. For the last three years, I’ve worked my rear end off attempting to finish nursing school while holding down two jobs. It’s time for me to live for the moment. Even if it means my heart gets smashed when it’s all over.

I know I should at least find out his name before we go any further, but my unruly body overrides my reservations when he leans down to cover my lips with his.

When my tongue tangles with his, I forget everything except him.

My knees buckle when he sets me on my feet next to the king-sized bed, so I drop down on the edge of the bed. It takes every bit of bravery I possess not to put a halt to this, but I swallow my fear as he steps back to pull off his tight black t-shirt. God, I never knew abs like that really exist. When he unzips his jeans and shoves them down his legs, a ball of apprehension forms in my stomach, but I ignore it and watch while he gives me the show of my life.

“Wow.” I sound like an idiot, but I can’t stop the exclamation from slipping past my lips as I stare at his huge erection.

“I like having your eyes on me,” he groans and reaches down to wrap his hand around his hardness. I lean back on my elbows to watch the show. “But I want to feel your touch.” He steps close and takes my hand.

I follow his lead and replace his hand with mine. He throws back his head, and a shiver runs through his massive body as I run my hand up and down his cock. Getting braver by the minute, I run my thumb across the velvety head and spread the wetness around.

“I hope I’m doing this right.”

“You couldn’t do it wrong,” he reassures me before stepping back out of my reach. “If you did it any more right, I would’ve come in your hand.”

When he reaches for my t-shirt, I bite my lip and lie back, letting him remove it. He slowly runs his finger around my lacy bra cup, and I almost self-combust on the spot. I stare into his dark brown eyes and watch them turn nearly black as he stares down at my half-naked body.

I ignore the urge to cover myself when he unhooks my bra and pulls it off. My blood roars through my veins as he slowly runs a finger around one of my nipples. Pleasure overtakes me, causing my mind to turn to mush.

“I need you to shut up and fuck me.” Where is all this bravery coming from? I barely recognize myself, but I’m about to implode waiting for him to get a move on.

“You don’t have to ask me twice.” He drops to his knees and pulls me to the edge of the bed. He makes quick work of my jeans and underwear, and my eyes cross when he spreads my legs. “I want to taste every inch of you.” That definitely sounds good to me. I ignore the tiny bud of worry in the back of my mind and let my eyes fall closed as he slowly touches me. Every-freaking-where except the one place begging for his touch. His finger makes slow circles on my upper thigh, slowly driving me insane.

“Please taste me,” I beg.

When he leans down and kisses his way up the inside of my thigh, I melt back against the covers. His fingers spread my intimate lips before he runs his tongue up my opening, causing electricity to flow through me.

I slide my fingers through his thick dark hair to hold on as he turns his attention to my clit. I barely notice when he slips one finger into my opening. He thrusts it in and out a little deeper each time, and my inner muscles begin to relax around his finger.

“Are you okay?” he asks before sucking my clit deep into his warm, wet mouth.

Am I okay? I have no idea, but I’m not about to stop to find out. “Please.” I’m not sure what I’m begging for. Hopefully, he can figure it out.

I feel his touch everywhere. While he slides his finger deep into my wet center, I hold on for the wild ride, wondering if I’ll survive the pleasure. He presses two fingers into my virgin opening, and I arch my back as my inner walls stretch around his fingers. I lose track of time while he pleasures me with his tongue and fingers. I explode when he bites down gently on my clit while pressing his fingers deep.

“You’re so goddamn beautiful coming,” he whispers against my tummy before he stands next to the bed. While I recover from the mind-blowing orgasm, he lays my head on one of the fluffy pillows and leans over to place light kisses along my collarbone and down my chest.

He runs his tongue up the side of my neck, causing goosebumps to erupt all across my skin. When he lies down next to me and pulls me against his hard body, fear almost overtakes me, but I push it back. There’s no way I’m giving up my chance to spend the night with the hottest man I’ve ever met.

I run my hand down his back, feeling all the muscles rippling under my touch. His reaction eggs me on and I grow bolder. He never promised me more than tonight, and I may never get another chance to touch him, so I plan to make the best of this. My thoughts scatter when he rolls one of my nipples between his fingers. I reach between us and take hold of his erection.

“I can’t take much more of that,” he groans against the side of my neck and places his hardness against my opening. I dig my nails into his muscular shoulders as he slowly thrusts deep. His lips devour mine and our tongues tangle, distracting me from the tiny sting of his invasion. I lift my hips up to meet his thrusts, and the pain completely disappears as his pace increases. When he circles his hips, his cock rubs a spot deep inside me that sends sparks skittering along my nerves. I lift my leg, attempting to get closer to him, and his erection slides a little deeper and I see stars. As his cock jerks inside me, wetness fills me before running out onto the bed beneath me. Oh, man. Exhaustion overtakes me, and I fall asleep telling myself I’ll have plenty of time to worry about consequences and all that some other time.
