The things her touch did to him...

It was incredible. Invigorating. It made him feel virile and wild.

He was hard and aching. Most of all, he felt vulnerable to her.

But he couldn’t pull back. Nay, he needed more of her. Needed to touch every inch of her body and to claim it as his own.

Nora felt a moment of panic as he removed her chemise from her. She was suddenly exposed to him.

It was scary and strangely erotic. She couldn’t recall ever being naked in front of another person. No one knew what she looked like bare.

No one but Ewan.

Her heart pounding, she stared at the large size of him and tried to imagine what it would feel like to take that into her body. Surely it would cleave her in two.

“Will you hurt me?” she asked hesitantly.

He stroked her cheek with his fingers. “I will do my best not to.”

She smiled up at him, trusting him completely even though she wasn’t too sure he spoke honestly. How could that not hurt? It was huge.

He lay down on top of her and gathered her into his arms. Her thoughts scattered at the glorious feeling of his skin against hers. Of his heavy weight that felt good instead of oppressive.

Ewan took her hand into his and guided it back to him. “Don’t be afraid of me, Nora,” he whispered.

Nora ran her hand down his shaft as the tip of it probed her maidenhead.

“Tell me to stop and I will.”

She smiled up at him, knowing most men would not offer her that. It made her even more tender toward him. “Don’t stop.”

He kissed her again, then drove himself deep inside her.

She tensed at the burning pain of him filling her.

Ewan whispered sweet encouragements in her ear while he used his tongue to toy with the tender flesh of her neck.

She panted against the pain and tried to relax as he coaxed her. She had never imagined a man would feel like this, but she was glad it was Ewan who was inside her.

Glad for the strength of his arms around her and the sound of his deep voice in her ear.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and buried her face against his muscled neck and inhaled the warm scent of him. It gave her courage and strength not to push him away.

She wanted this.

Ewan ached with want as he forced himself not to thrust even deeper into her. But it was hard.

He wanted her in a way unimaginable. She surrounded him with heat and her breath against his neck sent a thousand chills over him.

She felt wonderful and he never wanted to let her go.

“Relax, love,” he said gently.

He waited until her hold on him loosened. She looked up at him, her face trusting.

He smiled at her courage and at the sight of her lying under him, her body bare and joined to his.

It was the most incredible thing he’d ever seen. A wave of fierce possession tore through him then.
