Sacred Surrender by Ava Riley Page B

felt disappointment well up within him at the questioning sound of his name.  He’d pushed too far again.  They’d had such a wonderful dinner and now he was going too fast again.  Damn it!  When would he learn?  He couldn’t help himself, though.  He didn’t want her to tell him to stop, he would but it would take all his self-control.  Rowan had never wanted anything or anyone more than he wanted Madison in this moment.  He couldn’t get enough of her. 
     
    “We can stop, Madison.  I won’t lie, I’ll be disappointed because I want you so badly, but I’m okay with stopping, if that’s what you want.  I’ll never try force you to do something you don’t want to.” 
     
    “It’s not.  I mean, yes, I want this, Rowan.  I want you to continue, but there’s just something you should know before we go any farther.” 
     
    How was Madison going to tell him?  How was she going to tell him that he was about to have sex with a twenty-three year old virgin?  Would he even want her after he found out?  Men like Rowan were experienced and wanted to be with someone who was experienced as well.  She realized, as the questions ran through her mind that her fear was not in giving herself to him, but that he wouldn’t want her once he found out what she didn’t have to offer. 
     
    “You can tell me anything, Madison.  Anything,” he said, stroking her cheek with his knuckles. 
     
    “If after I tell you, you decide you don’t want to be with me, I will completely understand.”  Madison waited for him to say something, but he stood as a stone statue daring her to deter him from his mission.  She let out a sigh.  “Well, you should just know that I’ve never been intimate with a man before.  As in, I’m still a virgin.” 
     
    Madison’s heart beat a little faster as a slow, sexy grin lit up not just his face but his eyes.  Keeping those blue eyes locked to hers he slowly reached behind her releasing the clasps of her bra, allowing it to fall to the floor below next to the material that had already made its resting place there.  Relief flooded Madison as he dipped his head to her breasts, his tongue circling her hardened nipples, one after the other.  Heat surged through her body as the tingling in her breasts grew stronger when Rowan took one into his mouth, while his finger and thumb pinched the other.  Sucking, licking, and teasing her until she didn’t think she could take it any longer.  Her head fell back as a moan slipped past her lips. She felt him smile against her skin, as his hand traveled the length of her body, his fingers pressing between her thighs through the denim she wore.  Her hips began to rock back and forth, her pussy grinding against his hand.  She needed to feel his skin against hers.  She wanted to feel his erection pressed against her wet hot core.  As he continued to play her body like a well tuned instrument, she grabbed his hair with both hands and held on for dear life. 
     
    Rowan gave her nipple one last flick of his tongue then brought his mouth to hers for a deep bruising kiss. He had no intentions of walking away from Madison, especially after the confession of her virginity.  He’d not only be the first one to bring her to orgasm, but the first one for her to give herself completely to and that excited him more than anything ever had in his life.  He was glad another man hadn’t touched her luscious body.  She would experience all the pleasures her body could for the first time and he’d be the one to show her what wonders awaited her. 
     
    “I want you more than you know, Madison.  More than I could ever imagine, especially knowing that you are surrendering to me something so sacred to you.” 
     
    “Make love to me,” she said on a ragged breath. 
     
    Rowan reached around to his back pocket for his wallet so that he could retrieve the condom there before they got any further.  He’d accept her virginity, but he’d be
