Wait No More

Part Ten

Olivia pondered on the idea of losing her virginity to Ethan as she continued to kiss him, her heart racing with the weight of the decision. The rain poured around them, a backdrop to the storm of emotions swirling within her. Ethan was everything she had ever wanted—kind, passionate, and undeniably captivating. But the thought of crossing that threshold stirred a mix of excitement and apprehension deep in her chest.

She pulled back slightly, searching his eyes for answers, for reassurance. "Ethan," she started, her voice softer now, laced with vulnerability. "What if... what if we take this further?"

His expression shifted, a mixture of surprise and intrigue lighting up his features. "Are you sure?" he asked gently, his hands still resting on her waist, grounding her in the moment. There was no pressure in his tone, only a sincere desire to understand what she was feeling.

Olivia took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her decision settle around her like a heavy cloak. "It's just... I've thought about it, and it's not that I don't want to. It's just... it's a big step."

Ethan nodded, his gaze unwavering. "It is. And it should be special, something you want completely." He brushed a wet strand of hair from her face, his touch tender and reassuring. "I would never want to rush you into anything. You mean too much to me."

Her heart swelled at his words, and she felt a warmth spread through her. The idea of losing her virginity to someone she trusted, someone who respected her, felt less daunting. She couldn't deny the chemistry between them, the way they ignited each other's passions. The thought of exploring that connection further was tantalizing.

"What if it is special?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, a flicker of hope in her eyes. "What if I want it to be you?"

Ethan's expression softened, a mixture of relief and desire washing over him. "Then we'll take our time," he said, his voice low and soothing. "We'll make it perfect, together."

Olivia felt a rush of confidence as she leaned closer, her lips hovering just above his. The rain continued to fall, but in that moment, it felt like the world around them had faded away, leaving only the two of them and the electric connection that pulsed between their bodies.

"Together," she echoed, the word a promise that resonated deep within her. And as she kissed him again, she felt the boundaries of their connection dissolve, leaving only the heady rush of emotion and desire. The kiss deepened, their lips moving in a rhythm that felt both familiar and exhilaratingly new. The world around them faded further into the background, consumed by the intensity of the moment.

Every touch, every caress ignited something within Olivia, a longing that had been building over time. She could feel Ethan's heartbeat against her chest, a steady reminder of the life pulsing between them. As their bodies pressed together, she could feel the heat radiating from him, mingling with the coolness of the rain-soaked air, creating an intoxicating blend that left her breathless.

"Let's move somewhere drier," Ethan suggested, his voice thick with desire as he pulled back slightly, his forehead resting against hers. "I don't want to rush this, but I don't want us to get sick either."

Olivia nodded, her mind racing with the implications of what they were about to embark on. "Okay," she replied, her voice steady despite the flutter of nerves in her stomach. "Lead the way."

He took her hand, and together they made their way to dry off.

In the dim light, Ethan turned to her, his eyes searching hers. "Olivia, I want you to know how much this means to me," he said, the sincerity in his voice making her heart race. "You're not just a moment; you're everything."

Those words wrapped around her like a warm embrace, filling her with a sense of safety and belonging. She smiled, feeling a rush of affection for him. "And you mean everything to me, too," she admitted, her voice steady.

With the rain still falling  heavy around them the sound of it crashing against the windows , they leaned into each other again, their lips meeting in a kiss that spoke of promises and possibilities. Each kiss was a question, an invitation to explore the depths of their feelings, and Olivia could feel herself surrendering to the moment.

As they stood together, wrapped in each other's arms, she realized that this was something beautiful. Together, they would navigate the complexities of their emotions, their desires, and their shared journey—one step at a time. The rain continued to fall, but beneath its rhythmic patter, a new warmth began to blossom between them.

Olivia could not help but notice how fast her 18th birthday was approaching, With Ethan time seemed to fly by effortlessly , each moment filled with laughter and unspoken connection. It was as if the world outside had faded away, leaving just the two of them in their own little bubble. The days spent together were a whirlwind of late-night talks, spontaneous adventures, and quiet moments that spoke volumes.

As her birthday drew nearer, Olivia found herself more reflective. Turning eighteen was a significant milestone—one that promised new beginnings, independence, and perhaps even the chance to explore whatever was blossoming between her and Ethan. But with that excitement also came a twinge of anxiety about the unknown.

Ethan looked thoughtful for a moment, his brow furrowed. "It's a big deal, isn't it? I remember when I turned eighteen. It felt like suddenly the world had opened up, and I was expected to have it all figured out." He chuckled lightly, but then his gaze turned serious. "But honestly, I think it's more about the people you have around you during those moments that really matters."

Olivia felt a warmth spread through her at his words. "I've been thinking about that a lot. I mean, I'm excited but also kind of scared. There's so much pressure to make the right choices."

Ethan leaned closer, his expression earnest. "You don't have to have everything figured out right now. Just take it one step at a time. And remember, it's okay to not know everything. You've got time to explore and discover what you really want."

His reassurance made her heart flutter. She appreciated his wisdom, but it was more than that—there was an undeniable bond forming between them. The way he looked at her, the way he listened, made her feel seen and understood.

"Thanks, Ethan," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "That means a lot coming from you."

He smiled, and for a moment, they both just sat there, soaking in the comfort of each other's presence. Then, a playful spark lit up his eyes. "So, have you thought about how you want to celebrate your birthday?"

Olivia shrugged, feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty. "Not really. I guess I've been so caught up in everything else, I haven't had time to plan anything."

Ethan's smile widened
