Chapter

Seven

S everal thoughts ran through Matt’s mind at London’s confession. He could tell that she wasn’t very experienced, but she’d been so natural it didn’t cross his mind that she was a virgin.

Being her first was a big responsibility and whenever she made love to anyone else he’d always be the standard.

Just thinking about her with other men sent a spark of jealously through him that made him grind his teeth.

She belonged to him! It was a great honor to be her first, but he had to make sure they were both on the same page.

“Is this what you want, London? Once we go through this, there’s no going back. ”

She lifted her head to kiss his chest. “I want this. I really do. If we don’t finish I think I’ll go crazy, please, Matt, don’t leave me in this state.”

He couldn’t if he tried, and when she wiggled beneath him, his cock throbbed painfully.

He needed to be inside that juicy pussy, now.

Then it suddenly occurred to him that he needed protection.

With London being a virgin it wasn’t likely that she was on any type of birth control.

He remembered that he usually carried a couple condoms in his wallet just in case.

He kissed her lips, again savoring the sweet taste of her. Matt didn’t think he’d ever grow tired of doing that. “I do want it, but first, I have to get something okay?”

She frowned clinging to him, not letting him up. “What?”

“I need to get protection.”

“What kind of protection? I don’t understand.”

“I need to put on a prophylactic to prevent you from getting pregnant.”

It seemed to take her a moment to comprehend what he was saying, but then she smiled. “I won’t get pregnant.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“On Thibius, when a girl goes through her first womanly cycle she’s implanted with a special chip that prevents that. It lasts until it’s removed.”

“The technology in that world must be amazing,” he said, the geek in him coming out.

“Well, it’s a lot more advanced than here, but of course, Earth still has real flowers and trees, so I guess it balances out. Now are we going to talk about Thibius or are you going to make love to me?”

“It may hurt a bit when I first enter you.”

“I know, but I’m ready.” She smiled at him bravely.

Matt placed a kiss on the tip of her nose.

It was still hard to believe that this gorgeous creature was here with him like this looking at him with trusting eyes.

When she’d studied his body with lust in those beautiful brown eyes, his chest had swelled with pride.

No one had ever looked at him quite like that before and the feeling was empowering.

He’d never wanted to please anyone as much as London.

She inspired him in ways he didn’t think possible.

Nudging her thighs apart, he guided his cock against her slick opening.

She was wet and ready for him and more than anything he wanted to surge forward and claim her, but knew he had to take things easy.

When she lifted her hips, he chuckled. She was eager for him and he liked it. “Patience, sweetheart. This is your first time so we need to go slow.”

“Maybe you need to, but I don’t.”

He wiggled his eyebrows at her. “You’re used to getting your way aren’t you, Princess?”

“Only when it’s something I really want.”

With a groan he thrust into her with one swift movement, breaking through the thin barrier of her hymen. When he heard her sharp intake of breath, Matt forced himself to be still.

“It hurts,” she said with obvious surprise. She pressed her hands against his chest as though she wanted to push him away.

He planted kisses against her face and neck. “Shh. It’s okay, Princess. It’s okay. Remember I said it would hurt a bit. The worse part is over. Dig your nails into my back if you have to.”

London did just that and he gritted his teeth not to cry out when she broke skin.

The pain was small compared to the unadulterated pleasure of being inside of her.

London’s pussy felt like warm wet velvet wrapped snugly around his cock.

If he died this very moment, it would be as a very happy man.

Matt waited for what seemed like forever before she let him know that he could move.

“I think I’m fine now. The pain is gone. ”

“Good, now hold me tight.”

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he moved within her. He withdrew slowly, and then entered her again. “Oh, Matt, that feels so good. I didn’t know it could be like this,” she sighed.

“Neither did I,” he groaned never wanting this to end.

Her pussy muscles clenched his cock and he nearly came right then and there, but by sheer will he stopped himself.

He looked into her face and saw the wicked gleam in her eyes.

She may have been a virgin, but she knew exactly what she was doing.

“You little minx. You want me to lose control don’t you?”

“Yes!”

Matt surrendered to the strong passion that had built up within him. This woman was driving him wild. His mouth latched on to hers as he drove into her over and over again, lost to the furious passion and heat they generated.

Her nails bit into his back, and she cried out his name.

He penetrated her harder and faster, deeper and longer.

It had never been like this with the other women he’d been with.

His experiences had been nice, but they’d been nothing like this.

Only London had ever inspired within him this awesome desire that threatened to splinter his entire being.

“Matt, I think I’m dying!” she cried out, her eyes rolling back in her head.

“If you are, Princess, then I’m coming with you." And then the explosion came. He came, shooting his seed up into her channel until his balls were empty.

Collapsing against her, his breathing was ragged. It was so amazing that it was so surreal.

“Matt, I think I love you,” she whispered.

He lifted his head not sure that he’d heard her correctly. “What?”

“I said that I love you. I knew from the moment I first saw you that there was something special about you, but now I know.”

Her words should have freaked him out, but instead they filled him with a joy he’d never thought he’d experience, because by God, he loved her too. Sure of his own feelings he needed to be cautious. He didn’t want her to mistake sex for love.

“London, what we shared was very special. It was earth shattering in fact, but I don’t want you to confuse it for love.”

Her eyes narrowed. “I think I know my own mind. Matt, I felt this way before we made love. I’ve been racking my brain for the past couple of days trying to think of ways to seduce you.”

It took him a moment to take in her words. Her passion flushed face looked so sincere. He really wanted to believe her, but did he dare? “You have?”

“Of course. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life. How… how do you feel about me?”

Matt brushed his lips lightly against hers. “Can’t you tell?”

“I want to hear the words.”

“I love you too. I think I’ve loved you from the moment you collapsed in my arms.”

Her smile widened then. “I’m so glad to hear it. If Zahn comes looking for me, then there’s no way he can claim me now that I’m no longer a virgin.” She smiled with smug satisfaction.

Matt sat up. “Who’s Zahn?”

“General Zahn leads my father’s troops. He was also my betrothed but I didn’t love him.”

His heart felt tight all of a sudden, and he had difficulty breathing. “So now that you’re no longer a virgin he won’t want you?”

“Probably not. He has a lot of pride. There’s no way he’d accept an impure bride.”

Matt slid out of the bed needing to put some distance between the two of them. “So what you’re saying is that you were anxious to lose your virginity?”

“I don’t know why you’re making such a big deal about my virginity, Matt. It was inevitable that the two of us would make love.”

“Answer my question, London. Were you eager to lose your virginity so General Zahn wouldn’t want you anymore?”

“It’s true that I was eager to lose my virginity, but to you. I couldn’t think of a better gift to give you for all you’ve done for me.”

He felt like he’d been punched in the stomach. London had used him. He should have known. Angrily, he dug in his bag and pulled out a pair of boxers and then his jeans.

London sat up in the bed, her large dark mounds jutting out so temptingly. “Why are you getting dressed?”

“As if you didn’t know.”

She slid out of the bed and walked over to him. When she touched him, Matt flinched away. “What did I do wrong?”

“You did nothing wrong. You only did what I expected from the beginning. But don’t worry, I don’t blame you.”

“I wish you’d tell me what you’re talking about.” She batted her eyelashes at him and he could almost believe that she was telling the truth, but her own words had condemned her in his eyes.

“You used me, London, and I don’t like being used. You can keep your gratitude, because I don’t need it. Once we find your sister, we’ll part ways okay?”

Her jaw dropped. “Matt, why are you acting like this?”

When she attempted to touch him again, he moved away and grabbed his glasses, shoving them on his face.

He took her room key. “You can stay here for the night. I’ll sleep in your room.

And if you have trouble sleeping, find some other sap to bother.

” And with that he stormed out the room, slamming the door behind him.

Stunned was not exactly what she felt. Mortified was more like it. Somehow Matt had managed to turn something very beautiful into something wrong and sordid. He’d accused her of using him but there was nothing further from the truth.

London wouldn’t deny that one of the benefits of giving away her virginity would be that Zahn would no longer want her, but it hadn’t been the reason she gave it to Matt. If her goal had been to do what he’d accused her of, she could have done that on Thibius and risked her family’s wrath.

Love was the only reason she’d made love with him and she resented that he so easily believed the worst of her.

She wanted to be angry and rage at him for being such a big fool, but actually taking the time to give it some thought, compassion and understanding made her realize that there was more to this that she wasn’t seeing.

She tried to think of things he’d said to give her some kind of clue to his feelings and then she remembered. You only did what I expected from the beginning. It was as though he was waiting for her to let him down. That was it. Someone had hurt him before.

It bothered her that someone may have crippled Matt emotionally so much so that he didn’t recognize true love when it was staring him in the face.

She’d be damned if she allowed his past hurts to get in the way of what they had.

He was her man and she’d fight for him. This wasn’t over by a long shot.

Matt had been joking when he teased her about getting what she wanted.

Mr. Taylor was going to find out just how true that was.
