Chapter Nine

“Dear God, why didn’t you tell me you were a virgin?”

Andreas lay staring blankly at the ceiling, one arm crooked underneath his head, the other cradling Kizzy’s soft limbs in the heat-hazy silence of dusk. His heartbeat was returning to normal after the most incredible sex he had ever experienced, and his muscles were now beginning to relax. He closed his eyes briefly as he recalled how taut his body had become before he had entered her, and how the crushed-berry color of her lips and nipples had almost driven him to take her too quickly. Hard, fast, immediately.

Somehow he’d managed to hold back—control had never been a problem for him in the past, but something about this woman was bewitching him like no other. He had summoned all his strength to slow things down, to take his time, savor her tight, silken body, and reacquaint himself slowly with the pleasures of female flesh.

But he’d been so consumed with desire that he hadn’t even considered the possibility he might be her first lover.

Andreas was now uncharacteristically confused. And unnerved by the heavy silence that seemed to throb like a guilty pulse in the wake of their incendiary passion.

He turned on his side and stroked the warm satin of her shoulder.

“Well?”

“Was it that obvious?” Kizzy whispered, and squeezed her eyes shut.

“No,” he replied softly. He noted her discomfort, but couldn’t let this go. He had to know the truth. “I would never have guessed but—the sheet …”

Her fingers snatched up the pristine, white cotton to cover her breasts. “Oh God, I’m sorry.”

“So you are a virgin! Or were,” he persisted. “You should have warned me.”

“I did try but I couldn’t get a word in at the time.”

Jerkily, she eased herself up in the bed onto her elbows.

“Then you should have been more forceful—made me listen.”

“And just how embarrassing would that have been? It’s a bad enough admission as it is, without having to make my lack of experience an issue during foreplay.” She frowned and twiddled a crisp, white edge of bedding between her fingers. Her voice dropped to a murmur. “And besides, it would have spoiled the moment—it was what I wanted. I never imagined it could be like that, so overwhelming.”

“Did I hurt you?” A flash of anxiety shot through him at the thought that he might have caused her pain and then relief as she shook her head and shot him a shy smile. “But a virgin! I still can’t believe it—a virgin!”

“Yes, all right, there’s no need to try and humiliate me.”

“I’m not!” he replied indignantly and raked a hand quickly through his hair. “I’m shocked. But also very humbled. Your innocence was a beautiful gift but not something I will ever deserve.” He reached out and threaded his fingertips into her hair. “I can’t understand how it could be possible. You’re beautiful and clever—there must have been opportunities at college?”

“Of course there were, but I never met anyone who made me want to…and I had my studies to concentrate on.
