“A little, but I’d rather do something else that requires me takingourclothes off, plus it’ll help us both warm up.”

“Hm, smooth.”

“Since Sage isn’t here, we can be as loud as we want.”

“Okay then,Captain. Make your move.”

“Fuck, please call me that again.” I lick my lips, hunger taking over my eyes. I get down on my knees in front of her. “Please.”

“You don’t have to beg.”

“But you’re so beautiful from this angle.” I trail a bunch of kisses up her thighs.

“Stop kissing my ass.”

“Don’t threaten me with a good time.”

A small fit of laughter escapes her mouth. “It’s not a threat, it’s a promise.Captain.”

I stand upright, crashing my lips onto hers. Picking her up by her ass with my hands, I push her up against the wall next to her bedroom. As I put her down onto the ground, I sear a path of kisses all the way down to her chest and back up to her mouth. She lets out a small, breathy moan.

I lead her into the bedroom, not breaking the kiss. I can feel how close her knees are to buckling. Picking her up again, I throw her gently onto the bed. My pupils dilate as I crawl over to her.

“Did you bring a condom with you?” she asks, biting down on her bottom lip.

I nod. “Yeah, I’ll go put one on right now.”

I go into the bathroom and come back out several minutes later. “We’re all set, Angel.”

“Do you remember the first time we had sex?” she asks, hiding part of face with her hands.

“Yeah, why?”

Violet and I lost our virginities to each other when we were seventeen years old before all hell broke loose. We both tried to do as much research as we could, but our first time was awkward and nowhere near perfect.

It was how it should’ve been.

I’m lying on top of Violet, who’s topless with a bra still on. I have no shirt, shorts, or underwear on. She’s staring at me like I’m the only person in her orbit that exists.

“I’m nervous,” she whispers.

“I’m nervous, too. I’m worried that I’ll hurt you or make your first time cataclysmically horrendous.”

“I know you won’t do either of those things. I trust you.”

“Are you ready?”

“I’m ready.”

It takes us a few tries to get it right, and it doesn’t last very long.

I ask her if she’s okay, if she needs anything, and if she wants me to stop pretty often.

Our first time ended up not being perfect, but it was ours, and that’s all that truly matters.

“Is this time going to be the same as before?” Violet snaps me back to reality.

“Not even close. Are you warmed up yet?”
