Noelle had been a goddamn virgin, and I hadn’t had the first fucking clue. She hadn’t acted shy or seemed nervous. She didn’t cry or mention that she’d been in any pain. She’d seemed like a woman who knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to ask for it.

I looked down. Blood covered the condom, and there was some spattered on her curls and the inner part of her thighs. I sat up for a better look and found red spots on the bed beneath her, too.

She blushed, but she didn’t try to hide herself from me. Shouldn’t she be covering herself up? It had taken a long time for Liv to get past her initial shyness with me, but this was just another way Noelle wasn’t Liv, one of many things that proved how very different they were.

That lack of inhibition had surely played into how I had completely missed any sign of her innocence. She had been so ready, so eager. She hadn’t tried to hide her body in any way, and she hadn’t been shy about looking at mine. Or about touching me. She’d reached out and grabbed my cock without the slightest reserve.

“You should have told me,” I said finally, agony lacing my words. “I would have been gentler. I would have…” I wouldn’t have fucked her like a man who was only worried about himself. I would have made love to her.

It had been so long since I’d been with a woman—not since Liv’s death—that I had been as eager as a teenaged boy the first time he was with a girl. Noelle deserved better than that. She deserved for her first experience to be sweet and slow and loving. There was a time and a place for a quickie, but this was definitely not it.

“I didn’t want you to be gentle,” she said. “I wanted you to be raw, to let me see the part of you that you keep hidden from me.”

How could she know what kind of sex she wanted if she’d never had sex before?

I bent over her, cupping her face in my hands while I kissed her forehead, her cheeks, her lips. “I’m going to be tender with you now.” She opened her mouth to argue, but I put my finger over her lips to stop her. “Let me, Noelle. Let me take care of you. Stay here. I’ll be right back.”

I didn’t even care that it sounded like I was begging. I hated how I’d treated her, and I needed to make things right.

I got out of bed and went into the en suite to clean myself up.

“I want to take care of you,” she said, but it sounded as though she’d stayed in bed, at least. She wasn’t right behind me.

I wet a cloth and grabbed a clean towel for her. “You already have, älskling.” In more ways than I’d ever imagined.

She was still lying there when I returned, her legs drawn together and her knees bent and turned to the side.
