Ghost from the past (18+)

#Twenty: In which he claims her innocence.

'We never really got to that part...'

She bites out in a soft voice. Thank fuck for that... I think, my eyes twinkling as a wave of delight and relief washes over me. I grab her thigh and ask quietly to make sure I'm understanding this right.

'...Are you telling me you're still a virgin?'

She nods, still holding her lower lip captive between her teeth as she averts her gaze in shame, even though there's absolutely nothing in my eyes to be embarrassed about. It only makes this all the sweeter... I crawl back on top of her, gently holding her jaw so she's looking me in the eye as I ask her the tone of my voice brusque, still not believing this is actually happening.

'How far have you gone, exactly?'

Her face flushes even more while her eyes try to look everywhere around the room, but me as she murmurs.

'T-This morning... Right now, it's the furthest I've ever~'

'Wait. You're telling me that before today, you haven't even touched second base?'

I mutter in a stupor as I sit back a little. How is that even possible?! I shake my head, slightly letting go of her. By the loss of my touch, she casts her eyes down whispering in a fragile voice.

If you don't want to... I understand.'

If you think this is going to change my mind, you're dead wrong. I blink a few times in surprise, immediately grabbing her by the neck and drawing her closer to me as I smile.

'...Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question right now?'

She looks at me heartbroken, completely misreading the situation and I lovingly peck her lips as I tell her.

'To me, it makes this even more special... There's no way I want to let go of you now, I was just ...surprised.'

'What? You thought I'd spread my legs for just anyone?'

She pouts, her cheeks still crimson making me chuckle softly as I grasp her waist even harder.

'You better not.'

A smile tugs on her lips as her deep blue eyes face me once again looking more relaxed. I give her a sweet kiss, caressing her face as I lay her back down on the bed. She sighs as soon as I let go of her and sit up straight, her eyes filled with passion as they feast on my body. What a total moron, how could you ever let this perfection slip through your fingers... I smirk blissfully, knowing I will be the first man to see, feel and experience all of her. And if it's up to me, I'll be your last too... I give her fingertips a kiss as I want to let go of her to walk over to my suitcase, but she stops me by grasping my hand in hers as she shakes her head biting her lip.

'Lex, I gotta get...'

I motion to my bag, praying to the Gods that I don't have to explain to her how the birds and bees work. There's no way you can be that dense... I lament and as if she's reading my mind she starts to giggle, propping herself up on one arm a bit as she whispers.

'I know how sex works, Matty.'

I take a deep breath, thankful that we at least can skip that part as I point over to my bag motioning to her that's the reason I have to get up. Condoms. She pulls herself up, laying her arms around my neck as she presses her bare breasts against my chest and murmurs.
