“What are you thinking?” Q asked.
She turned to him, smiling because she wanted to assuage his worries. “I’m thinking about being able to dream bigger than I ever thought possible. I won’t be an airline pilot or a ship captain, but I could be a nurse or a paramedic. I could be anything, and that was never a possibility before. But I know one thing I really want to be.”
“What?”
“With you.”
Q heard Flora’s words, but it took a second to process through his brain. He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her. She didn’t pull away, so he turned her so she was straddling his legs.
She sat up and placed both hands on his chest. “I’m not saying I’m ready for sex, but I want more than just kissing.”
“You don’t have to.”
She nodded. “I know. I want you. I want to feel your body up against mine.”
He held her gaze, searching for any doubt or fear in her eyes. He found none.
The last thing he wanted to do was rush her, so he decided to take this as slow as he would have when he was a teen, figuring out how to explore a woman’s body. If Flora wanted to remove clothes, that was up to her. This first time, he would touch her on the outside of her clothes.
His fingers slid down the side of her body, his thumbs grazing her breasts. She jumped, and he slowed his movements. Her eyes grew darker as he ran his fingers over her belly and then up the center of her body. She didn’t shy away when he ran his fingers between her breasts to her throat.
He wanted to make this special and make her feel good. Would she be relaxed enough this first time?
She had her hands on his shoulders but moved them lower to the top of his pecs as he reached down and cupped her breasts. She jumped when he slid his thumbs over her breast.
“Was that too much?”
She shook her head. “No, I liked it.”
He ran his thumbs over her breasts, slowing as he grazed over her nipples. She gasped, then rolled her hips closer to him. He was getting hard but wasn’t at the point his dick was uncomfortable.
Flora adjusted and reached up, unbuttoning her shirt. “Is this okay?”
“Yes. It’s up to you how much you remove. You can stop there if that’s what you want.”
She stood and moved off his legs before grabbing the front of her jeans and unbuttoning them. “I want it all off. I want you to touch me between my legs.”
He swallowed and nodded, wondering how the heck he’d gotten this lucky. She shoved her pants low and kicked off her shoes and socks, standing in front of him in only her shirt and underwear. She looked so freaking sexy that his cock hardened. He reached down and adjusted it in his pants.
When Flora knelt in front of him, he couldn’t hold in the gasp. Then she reached up and pulled at the button on his pants.
“You don’t have to.”
“I want to see you. I’ve never seen a naked man before, and I have no idea what you look like.”
He cupped her face and lifted her chin so their gazes connected. “I’ll take off my clothes and let you explore my body. I’m probably going to come—have an orgasm because just being next to you like this is making me so hot.”
She licked her lips, and he almost blew his load right then. He stood and removed his shirt and then his pants. Her wide-eyed gaze was filled with lust. His balls pulled up as anticipation filled him. He wanted this more than anything, but he couldn’t scare her. Going slow would make it much better for her.
“Before I remove my underwear, I want to make you feel good.”
“How?”
“I’m going to touch you. If you don’t like something, tell me. I don’t want to go beyond what you’re comfortable with. I want this to feel good for you.”
Flora nodded as anticipation filled her. Q sat beside her and moved her to his lap. He ran his fingers over her shoulder and then lower to her breasts. He pulled at one nipple and then the other, making her gasp.
When his fingers slid lower over her belly, her whole body shook. Her heart was racing, and she felt like she couldn’t get enough air. She wondered if anyone had ever died from this feeling.
