“I’m afraid, Ty. Please can’t we wait a little longer?”
“Why, so you can have more practice deceiving me? I don’t think so, honey,” he told her, pulling her against him and kissing her hair. “Look, you’re not a silly little virgin and I’m not abrute. I feel your heart race when I touch you, the heat of your body damn near burns me right through your jeans and I feel the dampness you create. That’s your body getting ready for me. When your nipples get hard, they are getting ready for my mouth,” he whispered into her ear. “I need you Sweet Pea, and you need me too. Let me put your fears to rest once and for all?”
Kelsey clung to him, her body trembling and Ty wondered if he had the stomach to follow through if she fought him on this, but in the end she pulled his head down to hers. Her sweet lips kissed his softly before she slipped from his arms and headed upstairs.
Chapter Seven
Ty grabbed a clean pair of boxers out of the dryer and took a shower in the downstairs bathroom; he wanted to give Kelsey plenty of privacy and time to get ready. Even knowing how scared she was could not dim his excitement. Finally, she would be his in the most essential way and he hoped he had the strength to go slowly.
Spotting the roses on the counter, he put them in a vase with water, carrying them upstairs. Knocking on the bedroom door, he waited breathlessly
“Come in Ty,” she called softly.
Kelsey stood nervously next to the bed wearing a white cotton gown with a little blue ribbon woven through the eyelet lace at the neckline and wrists. Her blond hair was down, hanging almost to her waist in silken swirls. She looked like a child and Ty thanked his lucky stars that wasn’t the case.
“These are for you,” he told her, holding out the flowers.
“Oh Ty, they’re beautiful,” Kelsey replied coming forward and taking the vase out of his hands. She took them to her dresser, adjusting them just so before she lowered her face to the fragrant blooms.
“Thank you. No one has ever given me flowers before,” she told him solemnly.
“Sweet Pea, you can have fresh flowers three times a week if you want. Just let the florist in town know what you want.”
“That’s not quite the same, Ty,” she smiled.
“Oh, I guess not,” he admitted as he moved to her and took her hand, kissing the palm
“Do you have a favorite flower?” he asked as he slipped his arms around her and smothered his groan.
“I like daisies and lilacs,” she replied, “and almost all wildflowers, but the roses are beautiful,” she hurried on lest he think she didn’t appreciate them.
“I chose them because the pink is the same color as your lips,” he whispered, running his hand down her hair.
Kelsey blushed, hiding her face as she felt herself relax in his arms.
“Let’s lie on the bed,” Ty suggested, leading her in that direction.
“Can we close the curtains?” she asked hopefully.
“No, Sweet Pea, we can’t. This is about banishing your fears, not hiding them in the dark. I want to see your beautiful little body and I want you to see mine. There is nothing for you to be afraid of and if we close out the light you might be the next time. Kelsey please, we’ll take this slowly, but let me lead.”
“Okay,” she whispered lying on the bed on her back, frozen with fear.
Ty lay beside her and turned her towards him; he did not press against her but rather let her roll naturally closer because of his greater weight on the mattress. Softly he stroked her hair as he brought his lips to her, kissing her lightly. God, she smelled so good, he thought as his lips carefully traveled to her ear, watching and waiting for any sign of alarm. She was as tightly strung as a bow, but she never said a word. His hand strokeddown her arm, opening her closed fist and massaging her small hand until it stayed open.
“Relax baby,” he breathed in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. “I won’t hurt you. In fact my goal is to make you feel wonderful.”
Kelsey couldn’t suppress the snort that escaped her lips and Ty instantly popped up his head.
“Oh, so you doubt my abilities,” he teased, wiggling his eyebrows up and down until she laughed. “Well we’ll just see about that won’t we, Missy,” he continued, pulling her on top of him and kissing her wildly.
Kelsey was caught off guard and before she knew it she was kissing him back with all the passion she had. His hands rubbed up and down her spine almost tickling her, but not quite, until she wiggled against him. Flipping her back over, Ty continued in his role, finding the teasing role play somehow made it a little less stressful for her. Capturing both of her hands in one of his, he pinned them over her head.
“What tempting little morsel is this?” he asked as his free hand gently stroked her breast. “Let’s just see, shall we?” he smiled as he took the tiny blue ribbon in his fingers and untied it. Separating the bodice he freed her breast, his eyes widening in mock delight as he kissed her protruding nipple.
“Please Ty,” she begged, torn between laughing at his antics and fighting the new sensations coursing through her.
“No need to beg, my lady,” he replied, bending to her breast. “I’m more than happy to assist you.” His hot tongue scraped across the tender bud as Kelsey gasped in pleasure. He swirled and stroked until her back arched and she sighed as he pulled her offering into his mouth suckling gently. Kelsey struggled to free her hands, but Ty would not be moved. At this point he wasn’t sure whether she would push him away or pull him closer.
