Elsie nodded as another moan slipped from parted lips. “Levi,” she whispered, “I need more, I need—”

I cut off her plea with my mouth, my hips beginning to grind into the mattress. My cock ached, needing to be touched, needing to be in her, but I wanted to make her come first.

My tongue pushed into her mouth, swallowing her cries. I worked my thumb harder on her clit, pushing another finger inside her. Elsie cried out, breaking her mouth from mine, and I could hear the change in her breathing, could feel her passage starting to tighten, to grip down on my fingers.

“Levi,” Elsie called. Her chest rising and falling in erratic movements. “It feels… I feel…” Elsie’s head suddenly threw back, and she slammed her hand around my wrist as she came, a high-pitched scream coming from her throat. I watched, mesmerized as she fell apart, a flush coating her pale skin.

Her swollen lips were open as she breathed and her eyes were squeezed shut. I slowed my thumb on her clit, until she jerked under my hand, pushing my thumb away. I kept my fingers slowly pushing inside her, until her eyes fluttered open and collided straight with mine.

It was the first time I didn’t see any shyness in her stare. There was only acceptance; acceptance, and what appeared to be happiness.

Pulling my hand away, I crawled over Elsie, covering her body with mine. Losing my mind at the satisfied expression on her face, I crashed my mouth to hers. I kissed her and kissed her, our tongues caressing and lips bruising, when I suddenly felt delicate fingers brush along the length of my dick. My lips fell from Elsie’s the instant I felt her touching me. Her eyes were watching me as my jaw clenched.

I opened my mouth to moan out Elsie’s name, when her fingers wrapped around my length, trapping my voice inside my throat. I gasped as she shyly began moving her hand up and down. My arms shook as I kept myself from putting my full weight on her body, and my head tucked into the crook of her neck.

My hips worked back and forth, picking up speed, my balls starting to strain as shivers raced up my spine. My breathing was hard and labored, and I felt a heady pressure building in my thighs.

Knowing I was only minutes away from coming, I drew myself back, straddling Elsie’s thighs, trying to catch my breath. Dropping my hand, I placed it over her working hand, bringing her to a pause.

I could feel dampness on my skin; I could feel heat flooding my face. “Bella mia,” I moaned, the Italian endearment for ‘my beautiful’ slipped from my mouth without conscious thought. “We have to stop or I’m gonna…” I broke off, heart thundering in my chest. Elsie’s trembling hand released me and I hissed as I stared down at her naked body beneath me. I had to force myself not to come just looking at her long blond hair mussed and bright, at her beautiful face looking up at me in adoration. Her full breasts, her milky skin…

My arms caught me as I dropped forward needing her lips back on mine. Elsie cupped my unshaven cheeks as I pressed my forehead to hers. “Elsie,” I said quietly. “I want… I…”

“I want you to make love to me too,” she answered for me.

My arm muscles ached from how tightly I was gripping the pillow. “Yeah?” I asked, making sure.

A small smile spread on Elsie’s lips. “I need this, Levi. I need to give myself to you.”

My stomach flipped at her words, and I said, “I have protection, in my drawer.”

Elsie swallowed, but nodded her head. It was about thirty seconds before I moved from over her body and sat on the edge of the bed. I pulled open my drawer and took out a condom, my hands shaking as my palm filled with the gold packet.

Come on, Levi, I thought to myself, talking myself into moving.

But I was crippled with nerves, terrified I got this wrong, that I would hurt her or cause her to not want to stay. Suddenly, a hand ran down my back, and I felt Elsie’s lips press a kiss to my spine. Bumps spread over my skin and I sucked in a sharp breath.

“I want this, Levi,” Elsie’s uncontrolled sweet voice assured.

I glanced over my shoulder to see her head on the pillow looking up at me. “I’m falling real hard for you, bella mia,” I admitted, my words stilling Elsie were she lay.

With my empty hand, I ran my thumb over her plump red lips and confessed, “I have no idea what I’m doing, and I want this to be special for you. I want this to be good.”

Elsie’s hand pressed over mine and she moved her face so she could kiss my palm. “Everything is special with you, Levi. Because… because I’m falling for you too.”

I closed my eyes at her words, when I felt the bed dip. Elsie had got to her knees, and she took the packet from my hand. Keeping her head down, she tore the packet open and removed the condom.

I turned, my hands planting on her thighs as Elsie bent down and rolled the condom over my tip. “Shit,” I hissed as she sheathed me in the rubber, my fingers digging into her flesh.

Elsie leaned forward and kissed the corner of my mouth, withdrawing only to tell me, “I’m ready.”

Spurred into action at her words, I pushed forward and took her mouth with my own, as I guided her down onto the bed. I kissed her, cherished her, running my hands through her hair. Elsie’s hands splayed on my back, her short fingernails scraping along my skin.

I worked myself between her legs, running my hands down her thigh. I kissed at her neck, and down to her breasts, before I lifted to my arms, needing to be inside of her more than I needed air.

Elsie’s hands drifted to my biceps, and we paused in the moment, her looking up at me and me looking down at her. “You ready?” I asked softly, making sure one final time.

Elsie shifted beneath me, opening her legs, until I was braced at her entrance. A blush was on her already rosy cheeks, and she nodded her head. “Yes.”

Swallowing, praying that I didn’t hurt her, I pushed myself inside, inch by inch in a painstaking slowness. Elsie was as still as the night below me, her expressive eyes giving away everything she was feeling.

Her blue irises were bright as I filled her, my jaw clenched tight at the unbelievable feel of pushing inside her heat. Elsie winced and I froze. “What’s wrong?” I asked, feeling my tip pushing against something inside her.

She controlled her breathing and admitted, “It’s beginning to hurt.”

I went to immediately pull back when her legs clamped around the back of my thighs and she stopped me. I looked up in surprise and she cupped my cheek. “I’m a virgin, Levi. This was always going to be painful at first…” she took a deep breath, “but I want it. We just have to keep going through this next part.”

I shook my head. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

Her head tilted to the side and she smiled. “That’s why I want to do this more than ever.” Her eyelashes fluttered against her cheeks. “Because you care enough to stop at the thought of causing me pain. Because, even though I can see how desperately you want to be inside me, you’re going slow, you’re making sure I’m safe.”

“Because you’re my girl,” I replied. Elsie’s eyes glossed at my statement.

Pushing on the back of my thighs with her legs, Elsie guided me forward, pushing me to break through her virginity and seat myself fully inside. I gasped as I filled her to the hilt, feeling Elsie flinch against my chest.
