"Are you sure?" He asked softly as if he had read her thoughts. She nodded, biting her lower lip and trying to suppress her anticipation. "Yes." She whispered. "It's bigger than my finger." He told her, searching for any sign that might tell him that she was not ready. He was not going to take her if she was not. He didn't want her living her first sexual experience in regret. "Apparently." She said with small smile. "It will hurt." He warned her. "I can trust you not to let it hurt more than I can bear."
