low and controlled. “If you are having any doubts, tell me now, because once I start I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop.” For a long, endless moment, he held her with his eyes. “I’ve waited for this for a long time. A long, long time,” he repeated softly. He lowered his head and brushed his mouth against hers once more before he pulled back and looked at her again. “Do you want me?” he asked. His fingers slid across her cheek, then cupped the back of her head, and once again he lowered his mouth to hers.
She couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. She could only stand there while he kissed her, opening her mouth and letting his tongue explore every corner of it. It seemed to her that his kiss lasted both forever and yet for the briefest moment.
Diamere paused. “Tell me you want me,” he commanded in a soft, low voice.
Reaching up, Kelly stroked his face with the tips ofher fingers, running them across his cheek, jaw and his strong neck. “I want you,” she breathed.
He smiled. “And I want you.” He carried her over to the bed and lowered her onto it. It was massive and plush, with a comforter so thick she felt as if she had stepped inside heaven.
He looked down at her, lying there on the huge bed. “You’re so beautiful,” he said softly.
Her eyes rested on Diamere as he undid the buttons of his shirt. She could only watch as he pulled the shirt off and tossed it onto an upholstered chair in the corner. Her eyes lingered on his beautiful lean chest, which was nothing short of perfect. She was dying to run her fingers across his nipples, and was certain that, before the night was over, she would. Mesmerized by what was about to happen, Kelly could not move. She knew she needed to tell him the truth before it was too late, but she couldn’t do anything except lie there and watch as Diamere removed the rest of his clothes.
The entire time, he looked down at her, his gaze holding her immobilized. He unbuckled his belt, then unzipped his pants, and they fell to the floor, followed by his boxers. Panic caused her eyes to widen at the sight of him. He was large. So large her pulse raced. There was no way a woman could accommodate such a man. Yet, despite her fear, her body began to hum with a need she didn’t understand.
Naked, Diamere lowered himself onto the bed beside her and carefully loosened the buttons of her dress, finally pulling it over her head with slow deliberation. He reached behind her, unsnapped her bra and tossed it aside, freeing her breasts. Kelly swallowed and they peaked beneath his gaze, and for one painfully longmoment she simply stared at him, letting him look at her. Then, exhaling with a sigh, she murmured, “Diamere, I need to tell…” Her voice trailed off as his lips closed around a nipple. “Diamere…” Again she gave a blissful sigh.
His lips were like nothing she had ever felt. Although she was still a virgin, she’d had moments where kissing had led to serious petting and touching, forms of foreplay that she always stopped before things got out of hand. But that didn’t compare to what he was doing to her. This was what making love was truly all about. She needed him. She didn’t care if it was only one night; it didn’t matter if she might have regrets tomorrow. All she knew was that this was the moment she had been waiting for all her life.
His lips traveled downward to her belly, and not long after that he slipped her panties down her hips, and she heard the sound of him ripping open what must be a condom. Nervousness pounded through her, but quickly subsided when he kissed her again as his body covered hers.
“I can’t wait any longer. I’ve got to have you.” With a soft growl of need, Diamere positioned himself between her trembling thighs, and in one smooth motion entered her. Feeling the strong, swift thrust of his body into hers, Kelly cried out in pain, and Diamere paused.
“Please don’t stop,” she protested, almost pleading, when he
