With his thumbs hooking on the waistband of his clothing, he pushed them down.

My gaze caught on his chest first when he stood, which looked even better than it had earlier this morning, roaming down over the ridges of his muscles, all of which designed what seemed like a built in arrow down to his. . . my eyes widened.

A hearty laugh rumbled from his chest. “Don’t worry, I promise to be gentle,” he reassured, but it did nothing to calm the somersaults in my stomach. Because unrestrained by fabric, his considerable length now stood erect, causing only one thought to form in my head. How?

Nickolai moved to unclasped my bra, fully removing it to leave my round breasts on display, before trailing his fingers down to the laces of my own pants.

He took his time pulling each string, letting me pants loosen a millimeter at a time.

He was teasing me. Getting too impatient, I helped him untie them, and before I knew it, we were both bare, soaking up each other with our eyes.

“Are you all right?” he asked with a smirk.

I nodded, a shiver running through me. Nickolai's smirk widened as he bent forward—drawing a pert nipple into his mouth to swirl his tongue around it while pinching the other.

I gasped at the sensation, the throbbing between my legs growing to an unbearable amount.

He moved his mouth down my stomach, stopping to lick around my navel before settling himself between my thighs.

I sat up to watch as he took in the view of my body from that angle before parting me with his face.

My whole body instantly lit aflame, with a jolt that forced me to throw my head back while I gripped the sheets and let out a moan loud enough to be heard by anyone passing by the cottage.

Each lick and flit of his tongue brought a new excruciatingly pleasurable sensation.

One that had my nerves feeling like they were being electrocuted and someone was slowly increasing the voltage.

It was an effort not to close my legs as I tensed to the building pressure near his mouth.

Nickolai found the bud at the top of my sex—flicking it with the tip of his tongue and drawing it between his teeth to softly bite it before stopping to dip his whole tongue into my center.

“Don’t stop!” I could no longer control my words or sounds as my brain turned to mush.

He continued his methodical rhythm, sending me higher and higher until my entire body burned with the world-shattering sensations his mouth pulled from me.

A loud, guttural moan shot from my mouth as he flattened his tongue, running it up my slit.

My chest heaved and my body shook while I felt myself falling over what could only be considered a pinnacle of pleasure. He continued his lick back up my body—his mouth momentarily stopping to suck and kiss my neck before finding my mouth once more.

“Ready?”

I nodded eagerly, my brain still foggy from the orgasm, as he set himself up at my entrance—watching me while he slowly penetrated my center. My breath caught, and tears sprang to my eyes at the initial pain of being entered for the first time.

Nickolai stilled, resting his forehead on mine. “Do you want me to stop?”

I shook my head against his, panting, “No, I just. . . need to. . . adjust.”

A moment later, I grabbed his hips, signaling him to move, and this time I was prepared for the pain. Once he was fully seated within me, the pain left, leaving behind a need for him to move more.

As promised, his thrusts were slow and gentle, creating a friction that slowly built up the pressure in my core once again.

My hands roamed over his back, into his hair—stopping at his pointed ears to caress them.

He groaned, his hands moving from the hold on my hips, placing one next to my head and the other to my nipple.

Flicking and pinching it gently, which sent another shock through me.

Nickolai’s tongue danced with mine, muffling my screams, before moving to a sensitive spot directly below my ear.

“Fuck!” I moaned as a burning wave of pleasure washed over me again, and I felt myself clenching around him.

Nickolai’s control broke—his slow and precise thrusts turning into ones of animalistic need.

He sat himself up, placing his thumb over my clit—circling it—while his other hand gripped my hip, hard enough to leave a mark.

A curse left me as I felt myself tightening around his pounding thrust with the hit of another wave.

Nickolai roared as his own climax finally took over him as well.

We stayed connected, panting and watching each other for many moments as the pleasure continued to roll through our bodies.

“Are you hurt?” he said, breathless.

My words were barely audible as I shook my head and replied, “No.”

My brain spun at the whole idea of what we had just done and how it could make someone feel. The idea of sex wasn’t new to me, but the world-shattering sensations he made me feel—those were beyond anything I could’ve imagined.

After a few more heartbeats, he slowly pulled out of me, leaving to grab one of the unused cloths from the stack I left on the kitchen table.

Upon returning, he wiped away the mess between my legs—a twinge of blood and a mixture of our juices immediately staining the linen.

I wasn’t sure how it was even possible, but blush filled my cheeks even more at the sweet gesture.

He finished cleaning me and himself off, kissing the inside of my thigh before disposing of the rag.

When he returned, Nickolai moved to lie beside me, absentmindedly brushing his knuckles along the skin of my stomach as he released a sigh. I felt the pressure of his lips on my forehead before his smooth voice whispered, “You do something to me, Tiny.”

Slowly turning in his arms, I smiled sheepishly, “Challenge accepted.” Even though it wasn’t what he had meant, I couldn’t keep the animal he had awoken within me from wanting to devour him.

We spent the rest of the day exploring each other more.

Only taking breaks to talk about our favorite things, eat, and drink before exhaustion from the day's exertions became too much to bear and we fell asleep.

I awoke the next day with him, and any sign of him, gone. The only reminder that he was there to begin with was the aching feeling between my legs.
