His lips find my neck. “Were you as wet and turned on as you are now?”

He presses the tip of his cock inside me⁠—

Pop.

My eyes bulge open as liquid trickles out of me. He jerks up, his face flushed and concerned. The mean version of Tommy is gone, and my sweet Tommy is back.

He quits thrusting and goes wholly still, his cock still erect inside me. “Jesus, Diana.”

My cheeks turn crimson. He must have felt that, too. My hands wrap around his back. “Keep going,” I whisper.

He slowly pushes inside me deeper, his cock stretching me, and he slowly starts to thrust, keeping his eyes on me the entire time. “Is this okay?”

I nod, and he thrusts repeatedly, cradling my body each time he goes deeper inside. The burning subsides and the pleasure of him hits—he’s hot and slick and gentle. I pull him closer, my hands tracing the lines of his back. I love this, I love him. If this is what hell feels like, then I’ll gladly burn for eternity.

I wait for the flames to erupt around me as he continues fucking me.

“Didi, I think I’m going to⁠—”

“Sorry to interrupt.” A voice from the darkness, just beyond the beads.

Tommy, still hard, pulls out and twists around on his back just as Talia walks through and smiles at us in the dim light. The blanket is half strewn over top of us, and thank goodness I’m still wearing my top and the blanket is covering me.

He places his arms behind his head and relaxes as if we were merely having a conversation. I’m terrified of how she will react to this.

“You didn’t interrupt anything, babe,” he says, his voice smooth and confident. “Didi just came down for a visit, and we were catching up.” I can sense his heartbeat, smell his sweat, and sense the nervous energy radiating off him.

Talia scares him.

I watch Talia carefully, and her eyes are glued on me. I’m mortified, but she doesn’t seem bothered by what Tommy and I were just doing. Her long black hair is styled in waves, and she’s got the same flower tucked in it. She’s wearing platform shoes and a mini-dress that shows off her legs. She looks amazing—better than my present condition, crumpled under Tommy’s sheets.

Her eyes twinkle with amusement as she watches me in this compromising position, her eyes lingering on Tommy’s naked cock. She walks to his side, leans down and kisses him, causing heat to rise into my chest. “When you’re done fucking, I’d like us all to have dinner together. I have a special surprise for you tonight, Diana. It’s time for you to earn your place here.”

My stomach clenches, a pleasant sensation, and my vagina is still throbbing from what Tommy and I just shared. Or perhaps it’s because Talia lingers her attention on me instead of Tommy.

Tommy licks his lips as he stares at her. Their eye contact is palpable. “We’ll be right up.”

“No rush. And when you’re finished, make sure to clean yourself up, Diana, because we’re going out tonight.” She saunters off into the darkness from where she came with no comment on what she just witnessed. Her lack of visceral reaction in this situation is quite unsettling.

I watch Tommy, and he’s fixated on her as she walks away, vanishing like a shadow. Finally, he turns to me, eyes smoldering, and I can’t decipher the look on his face. He runs a hand through his shaggy hair. “You’ve never done that before?” he asks me. “You and Remy haven’t...”

My voice comes out as a tremble. “You’re my first,” I whisper as tears well up in my eyes, and I run my fingers through his messy hair. “You were always supposed to be. I waited for you, Tommy.”

The emotion in his eyes is a maelstrom. For the first time since I’ve seen him again, he’s looking at me the way he used to.

His jaw flexes. “Damn, Didi. What am I going to do with you?” He curls his arm over my body. “Sometimes I wish you weren’t here. I don’t know how this is going to end for us.”

I lay my head on his chest, catching my breath, and he plays with my hair. We lie together in blissful peace as the enormity of what I just did hits me.

I just lost my virginity to Tommy, and he didn’t get to finish.

He sighs. “Let’s head upstairs. Talia gets impatient if we make her wait.” He rises and peers down at me as I lie in his bed, his face still so pained when he looks at me. A small draft of cool air snakes over my skin, and suddenly, I’m freezing.

Exposed.

“Take a few minutes if you want to clean up.”

“Thanks,” I say curtly, wishing he would finish what he started. I adjust myself under his blanket, but I remain on his bed.
