The Virgin Gift(25)



I’d find a way to make all her wishes come true.

That was what I wanted for Nina. For my friend. The woman deserved the world. She deserved to know, too, that I was still the man she could trust, that I hadn’t run off and told Brandon anything at all.

After I said hello to my employees, I shut my office door and picked up my phone.

Adam





I tapped out a simple text.

Adam: Hey you.



Nina: Hi.



Adam: I need you to know—I won’t say a word to anyone. What we did is personal. I’m not the type of guy who brags and you are NOT a conquest.



Nina: Thank you. Also, I know you’re not that type of guy.



Adam: But I do know you’re close to your friends, so if you want to share with them, I have no issues with that. I get that women like to share.



Nina: Got it. I have the seal of approval to tell Lily and Kate you have a big d-i-c-k.



Nina: Oops!



Nina: Wherever did that naughty side of me come from?



Adam: That naughty side is you, Nina. By the way, this morning was absolutely amazing.



Nina: It was for me. But was it for you?



Adam: Couldn’t you tell how much I loved it?



Nina: I think, but in all honesty, I’m still figuring this out. Everything is new to me.





I leaned back in my chair, rereading that, letting the enormity of her words sink in. Her question was normal, something any woman would ask of her man, and a man of his woman. But with Nina, there was a whole other layer. She didn’t have any history to compare me to. And I loved that. I craved being her first everything. And this was a first for her too—talking about what she’d done. Not only had she let me in, now she was letting me in her head in another way. And I wanted to honor that and give her what she needed too.

Adam: Let me help you figure this out. You shouldn’t just “think” I loved it. I want you to be certain. Without a shadow of a doubt. Close your eyes and remember how I stared at every inch of your exquisite body like a man possessed. How I devoured your perfect pink pussy like I was starving. Nina, I wanted my face covered in your juices. I still do. I could lick you all day. The only thing to figure out is how quickly I can get my mouth on your sweetness again, because I am rock hard right now.



Nina: Well, that does seem to answer my question. Thank you for knowing what I needed. And thanks for making me need to go change my panties again because they’re soaked now.



Adam: As they should be when you talk to me. And now that we’re clear on how I loved every single second of going down on you, I want you to tell me where your head is about last night, about this morning. I want to know how you’re doing.





She didn’t respond right away. But the three flashing dots indicated she was typing, and considering how long they flickered, she must have been typing a lot. But when her reply arrived, it was short. To the point.

Nina: This is where my head is—what do you think of me now?





I sat up straight. Dragged a hand through my hair. Was she worried I’d think differently of her? That wouldn’t do.

Adam: I think you’re beautiful and sexy, and I love that you know your own mind. That you want to explore your body. I love that you’re taking charge of your pleasure. And I feel like the luckiest man in the whole damn city to be the one to help you. Does that make it clear where my head is?



Nina: I think so. Also, I can’t stop thinking about the table.



Adam: I can’t either. You were spectacular. You come so gloriously. It’s incredible watching you.



Nina: I like to watch you too when you touch me.



Adam: Yeah? You liked looking at my face between your legs?



Nina: I loved it. Loved the way you looked when you devoured me.





Of course she loved to watch. She was the observer. And she was dead-on with her summation.

Adam: Did you take pictures with your mind’s eye?



Nina: They’re in my head. They don’t stop playing.



Adam: Don’t I know that? You are all I can picture right now. I should be working through my call list, but instead I’m seeing your lush body spread across the table. I can still hear your noises, I can feel your smooth skin, and I can still taste you. You taste like heaven, Nina.



Nina: I want to know what you taste like. All of you. I want to feel you in my mouth. I want to take you deep in my throat and watch the expressions on your face as you come.





I dropped my forehead to my hand. I was an inferno. How was I going to make it through this day? The images in my mind were obscene, just the way I liked them, and just the way that would distract me all day long.

Adam: Woman, I am so goddamn hard right now, and I have to go to a meeting in fifteen minutes. And I don’t want to stop with you. All I want to do is tell you how much more I want to do to you and with you.



Nina: I want you to do everything.
