“I’m yours,” I moaned.

“I love you, Tate,” he groaned on a thrust, all the way inside me.

I didn’t know what to say.

I was shocked and beyond happy yet totally confused and distracted all at once. I had loved this boy for so many years and dreamed of this moment.

Nothing mattered at that point.

He was mine, and I was his.

“I’m going to come, baby.” He dropped his forehead to mine on a low groan, and then I felt it, his warmth filling me in what had to be utter perfection.

He pulled out a minute later, after catching our breaths.

My blood, mixed with his cum, slowly dripped onto the sheets.

“Let me handle this,” he softly whispered in my left ear. Graciously and effortlessly he pulled away from my body.

Is it over? Are we done?

“Come here, kitten,” he said playfully as he grinned anddirected me away from the blood-stained sheets. “Go take a shower. I’ll be there in a minute.”

I couldn’t help but wonder…Was I any good?

Did I just ruin everything?

Is he going to kick me out and break up with me after I shower?

Griffin, knowing we’d made a mess, went to wash the sheets, ripping them from the bed in one fluid motion.Within a few minutes, the fun was done. He had his back turned to me as he set up new sheets on the bed.

Maybe I did something wrong.

Walking along the marble floors to the bathroom, the floor was ice cold against my hot skin. Lights just magically turned on as I entered the bathroom. My eyes landed on my own concerned yet optimistic face, completely flushed in the mirror.

“Be there in a second, kitten.”

I rushed to turn the shower on. “Okay,” I faintly replied, awaiting my harsh reality.

The doorknob rotated and clicked as he entered the bathroom.

“Are you okay?” he asked softly as he opened the shower door, stepping in with me.

I hadn’t expected him to join me.

The hot water was cascading down my hair and over my still tingling body, washing away his touch. “Yes?”

“Good—”

Before he could even say another word, I lost it.

“I’m terrible, aren’t I? The worst you ever had, I bet.” I started to ramble, and he sighed.

“No, Tate.”

“I mean, I must be. It was over before we even started…it was so quick!”

“This is just one of those things we have to go slow with, and I’m perfectly happy to do that with you.”
