to him. He stroked the backs of her smooth thighs, and let out a pleased growl when his hands came into contact with her bare ass cheeks, but he held himself in check.
“Angel, you feel so good, but it’s torture having you this close. I want you so much right now it’s painful. I want to feel you beneath me and be inside you. But I need to make sure in the morning you won’t regret it. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but maybe I should go back to the couch,” he ,

said uncertainly. Shit! This was happening so fast now, and he didn’t want to screw it up.
Rachel smiled down at him. “One question. Do you have any condoms?” Damn, she wasn’t making this easy. She arched up to look down at him, and when she did, her sweet body applied more pressure to his eager cock.
“Yes, and I always use a condom. I don’t do bareback. I was tested the last time I went in for a physical. But I want to make sure you’re ready.”
With a soft, shuddering breath, she shifted on him and reached down to pull at the ties on her thong. He bit his lip as he realized what she was doing.
She sat up and slid the thong out of the way, gently took his hand, and placed his fingers where, up until now, he’d only fantasized about going.
“Why don’t you tell me if you think I’m ready?” Rachel gasped breathlessly as she pressed his fingers against her pussy. Eli groaned as they slipped through the abundant hot, silky moisture there. He gently slid a finger into her tight entrance before easing up to rub her clit, which made her cry out in pleasure. Another rush of arousal wet his fingers more. There was no longer any question about her readiness.
“I’m on the pill, though I’ll need to run to the pharmacy in the morning for a replacement pack. We can use a condom if you prefer,” she said, stuttering as he repeated the motion. “It’s been a long time…since I’ve been with a m–man.” He was instantly addicted to the hot, slick feel of her pussy under his fingertips and the soft sounds she made as he touched her. “And I’ve never been with anybody as big as you.” She finished her sentence on a moan as he pressed his erection to her pelvis and gripped her satiny smooth ass. “There has only been one man. It was a terrible mistake, and it only happened once. I was stupid.”
Only once? He’d love to replace that bad memory for her.
“Not stupid. Beautiful and trusting. If I made love to you, Rachel, I’d show you how it should be. I’d be gentle and make it good for you.” He slid his hands over her thighs, which were still straddled over his hips. Her belly rested against his throbbing cock. “You wouldn’t look back on this time with regret because it’s only the beginning. It would be very good between us, angel.”
Eli’s conscience warred with his natural instinct to use whatever means were at his disposal to get her writhing beneath him. But what about her 34
doubts and fears? They’d still be there in the morning if he didn’t make sure this was what she wanted tonight.
The vulnerability and trust he saw in her eyes strengthened his resolve to prove himself worthy of her.
“Don’t break my heart, Eli. I couldn’t bear it.”
“Your heart is safe with me, Rachel. Please trust me.”

“I need you.” Rachel lowered her lips to his for another kiss and held on when he rolled her under him on the big bed. She could tell he kept most of his weight off of her but pressed his heavily muscled torso lightly into her as he continued to kiss her. His weight and his immense physical presence were unspeakably comforting and arousing, by turns. Still dressed in his sweatpants, he settled his hips between her open thighs and pressed his hard erection into the cradle of her body. Her head fell back on his pillow, and she moaned quietly at the feel of his hard length pressed to her. She secretly wondered how it would all fit. Resting on an elbow, he began to inch the shirt up
