* * *

Rico had never been nervous in a woman’s company. Why now, when he’d gained entrance to a bed he’d wanted far longer than he’d wanted any other, did he tremble?

Because he’d claimed incredible prowess and now he must produce? He had no one to blame but himself. Braggarts were often called upon to live up to their big mouths, or other parts, as the case might be.

Lily’s hand closed around him, and he jumped. “Shh,” she murmured against his chest. “Let me soothe that ego.”

Incredibly, he laughed. She joined in, her chuckles spouting tiny bursts of air against his sensitive skin. The lightness in her eyes made him happy. He’d rarely seen anything but worry there.

“I’ve never laughed like this,” she said.

“You should more often.”

“I never thought sex was very funny.”

“I suspect most men would not be too happy to have their lover laugh.”

“You don’t seem to mind.”

“I do not think you are laughing at me.”

“And if I was?”

He rolled her body flush with his. “I would make you stop.”

She arched, pressing his arousal to her stomach. “I don’t feel like laughing so much anymore.”

His smile was one of satisfaction as he lowered his mouth to hers. Why had he said they would go slow for him? He didn’t think he could wait. Not after tasting her, touching her, hearing her laughter, experiencing her every response as if it were his own.

One of the reasons he was very good at sex was that he cared as much, if not more, about his partner’s pleasure as his own. To be honest, men needed very little in the way of stimulation to find release. Women were another matter. Discovering what caused a female to writhe and beg beneath him made his own fulfillment that much deeper.

He wanted to make Lily’s time with him memorable. From the way she’d behaved before, the surprise on her face, the wonder in her voice, she had never been with a man the way she was now with him. For Lily, men had never given, only taken. Men like those gave all the rest a very bad name.

Knowing he was the first to show her such magic made him gentler than usual, as if she were a virgin in body as well as soul. He would not take her inner innocence by rushing or blundering or thinking of himself when this was about her. He would be her first in a way no one else could ever be, and he wanted the memory to be as beautiful for her as it already was for him.

He always took a long, long time to ascertain each and every one of a woman’s favorite, secret places. He would take even longer with Lily.

He spread her black hair like a fan across the white sheets. She reached for him again, but he circled each of her wrists with his own, then pinned her arms next to her head.

“What are you doing?”

He glanced quickly into her face. She wasn’t frightened, only confused.
