Rogue Love
infectious, mischievous smile looked back at me. He was amused by my newfound bravery.
    “Don’t laugh at me,” I leaned in and whispered in his ear. The music was loud, but he heard me.
    “I’m not laughing at you. I like seeing you let loose,” he murmured back, pulling me tightly to him.
    I snaked my arms around his muscular torso, allowing my skin to press against the warm, hard contours of his muscles. The music pounded in my ears and the harsh glare of the strobe light blinded me. I didn’t know how to dance like these girls. I didn’t know how to be sexy.
    “Don’t think so much. Just let go and move your body to the music,” he whispered huskily in my ear. It was all I needed. I stopped thinking and let my body move with his.
    His body moved perfectly with mine and my desire peaked as we pressed against one another in a desperate, primal way.
    It seemed like only moments passed, though it must have been longer. “Let’s get out of here,” I whispered.
    Liam was quick to comply. He grabbed my hand and led me to the door. We stumbled out onto the street and the cool chill of the night air hit us with a refreshing blast.
    I barely noticed the walk back to the motel. All I could think about was Liam. His arms. His muscles. His tattoos. I wanted to see all of him at once. I needed to have him.
    Liam thrust open the door to our room and swept me into his arms, carrying me easily to the first bed. My body lit up as his arm brushed against my breast before depositing me gently on the bedspread.
    “I want you Liam,” I moaned, pulling up the hem of my skirt to reveal the pink lacey panties beneath.
    Liam groaned and looked down at me with a fire in his eyes that matched mine.
    “Fuck Mary, I want you too. You’ve cast a damn spell on me and I can’t even think straight.”
    “Then take me. Fuck me,” I commanded boldly.
    “I can’t,” he groaned, sinking down onto the bed next to me. “You are drunk. I don’t want our first time to be like that. I want you so fucking much, Mary. But I want you to remember every detail when I finally make love to you.”
    He reached out and gently ran his hand over my cheek, then leaned down and pressed a soft, warm kiss to my forehead. I felt the fire still sizzling inside me, but I knew he was right. I shouldn’t lose my virginity when I was too drunk to remember how it felt. I want to feel Liam inside me so badly, but his chivalry touched my heart.
    “Will you at least stay here next to me?” I asked.
    “Always,” he murmured.
    I moved over to make room and Liam climbed into the bed next to me. I curled up against his strong body, feeling the safety of his strong arms around me as I drifted off to sleep. We were both fully clothed, but I had never felt so intimate with another person.
    I slept soundly in the warmth of Liam’s arms. I didn’t wake up until I felt him stirring next to me. He was moving carefully, trying not to wake me as he sat up in med, but the movement jolted me from my deep sleep.
    “Liam?” I asked groggily, rubbing at my eyes.
    “I’m still here,” he whispered. “How do you feel?”
    “Ok. I have a headache though.”
    “Here, have an aspirin and some water and you’ll feel better soon.”
    He hopped out of bed to retrieve a glass of water and the bottle of pills from his bag. I quickly swallowed the pill and drained the glass, realizing that I was experiencing my first ever hangover.
    “Thanks,” I croaked. “I should probably shower.”
    The shower helped wake me up and by the time I was finished scrubbing, the aspirin had started to works its magic on my headache. I toweled off my hair and body and exited the bathroom with the towel still wrapped around me.
    Liam watched me intently as I walked back into the room. I saw his eyes appraising my newly scrubbed body covered only by the small towel.
    “Feeling better?” he asked.
    “Yes, thank you. I’m not used to drinking alcohol,” I admitted.
    Liam smiled. “I
