Excerpt:
PROLOGUEHe trailed kisses down her neck while he let his hands explore the recesses of her body. Davie shuddered when he found the warmth between her thighs with his fingers. "Am I hurting you?" He was concerned. Even though he had made it a habit not to get involved with any of his partners, she had made him pause. There was something special about this girl; there was something about her that had stayed in his mind ever since their first meeting. "Nooh, Adam, that feels so good." Davie kissed him back as she felt her response spiraling toward the unknown. "AdamAdam" Her breath caught. "What Sweetheart?" It was easy to see how excited she had become and it felt good to know that he had that effect on her. "Adam" She felt very timid. "I've never felt like this before." "I'm glad." He thought of how good it was going to feel when he entered her. "I'm so very glad." "Adamteach me" He mated their lips and wrestled his tongue with hers. "What do you want me to teach you?" He smiled against her neck. "Teach me how toooh" She arched her back and pressed herself into his palm. "How to make it good for you." Oh lord, so sweet, he thought as he took a delicate nub into his mouth. "How could it not be good for me? You are so beautiful" Davie felt another shudder run through her. "But, I don't knowAdam, I," She inhaled sharply as she felt his fingers probing inside her. "AdamI've never" For the first time, Adam remained motionless. "Neverwhat?" "I'venever been with a man before." She sensed his withdrawal before he actually pulled away. Adam's brow was furrowed, "What are you saying, Davie?" The icy chill that Davie felt left her feeling embarrassed to be lying naked in bed with this man. She pulled the bedsheet over her exposed breasts. "I've never been with a manbefore" He sat upright in bed seemingly unaware that he was just as naked as she was. "Are you telling me that you're a virgin?" Davie sat up clutching the bed linens tightly to her body. "Yes." "Damnation!" Adam got up from the bed angrily. "You couldn't have told me that before?" Her eyes welled with tears. "I didn't know we were going to wind up in your bed" They had gone out to dinner, again, and a walk in the park. His kisses turned into an invitation back to his apartment. She wasn't naïve, she knew that they mightget closer, but she was so spellbound by him "Dammit Davie! I have never taken a virgin before and I certainly don't intend to start with you!" She watched incredulously as he pulled a pair of jeans on. "I'm sorryI" Suddenly Davie felt angry. " If you thought that I thought it was going to be some kind of commitment, you don't need to worry. I got carried awaydon't worry, it won't happen again." She stood taking the bedsheet with her to cover herself. "If you don't mind giving me some privacy, I'll get dressed." Her anger made him feel contrite and he responded in much gentler tones. "I'll take you home as soon as you're ready." "Don't bother! I'll manage on my own." She stared at the bedroom door pointedly, but he didn't budge. "Fine!" Davie dropped the linen to the floor and picked up her clothing. Earlier, Adam's body had felt as cold as if he had been blasted with icy water, but as he got another glimpse of her astonishingly beautiful naked body again, he was happy he had donned his pants to hide his reaction. "II'm sorry", he turned his back to her. "II just can't bethe first" "What?!" "I'm sorry" He left the room.
