Phei pushed open the bedroom doorâquiet, careful, the faint scent of cedar and rain from his sheets already wrapping around him like home.
And there she was.
Maya Scarlett lay in the center of his bed, propped on one elbow, facing the door exactly as though sheâd arranged herself in that precise position hours ago and practiced it many times to perfection, waiting for the exact second he would walk through.
Her silver hair spilled across the dark pillow like moonlight on water, strands catching the low bedside lamp and shimmering soft silver-gold.
Her skin glowed luminous under the warm light of the room and the moon light spilling in through the open windowâporcelain-pale, flawless, almost translucent across the delicate hollows of her collarbones, the gentle swell of her small, high breasts.
She wore a delicate lace robeâthin, pale ivory, spun so fine it looked like mist clinging to her body.
The front wasnât tied. It hung open in a deep, careless
V
, revealing the full length of her bare form beneath: pale-rose nipples already drawn tight into tiny, trembling peaks from anticipation alone, the soft dip of her navel rising and falling with shallow breaths, the faint silvery trail of hair between her thighs leading down to the
shadowed cleft
where her untouched virgin female waitedâlips smooth, pale-pink, already glistening with a faint sheen of nervous arousal.
She looked like innocence wrapped in sinâfragile, radiant, and utterly his.
The moment their eyes met, she smiled a small, shy, radiant smile and slipped off the bed. Bare feet silent on the heated floor, she walked to him, robe fluttering open wider with each hesitant step, offering glimpses of smooth skin beneath: the gentle curve of hip, the faint
dimples
above her ass, the soft inner thighs already trembling.
When she reached himâclose enough that the faint warmth of her body brushed his chest, close enough that he could feel the heat radiating from her bare skinâhe spoke without thinking, voice low and rough with something close to awe.
"Youâre going to be the
death
of me
tonight, Maya Scarlett, MY LOVE."
Her reaction was instant, perfect disaster with cheeks flamed crimson, eyes widened, then darted away. She ducked her head, silver hair falling forward to
curtain
her face, fingers twisting nervously in the open edges of the robe.
"IâIâm notâ"
she stammered, voice tiny, then softer, almost a whisper, "âyou always say things like that..."
Before he could answer, she stepped into him like the only thing that meant anything at all in her worldâ her arms sliding around his waist, face pressing to his chest.
"
Phei~
" she whispered, the single syllable trembling with shy need, her breath hot through his shirt.
He wrapped her up immediatelyâarms strong around her narrow back, one hand cradling the nape of her neck, fingers threading gently through silver strands, the other splaying wide across the small of her back.
The lace robe was useless against his touch and it parted like mist, letting him feel every inch of bare, fever-warm skin beneath for the first time this close, this real.
His palms glided over the satin-smooth dip of her spineâslow, reverentâtracing the delicate knobs of vertebrae, the gentle flare of her hips, the plush curve where back met the perfect heart-shape of her ass.
Her skin felt impossibly softâ
like warm silk stretched over living heat
âtrembling under his fingertips, goosebumps rising in waves wherever he touched.
A
full-body tremor
rolled through herâinnocent, electric, devastating.
No Goddess Fall Touch.
Just his hands. Just his
touch
on her bare skin for the very first time.
Her breath hitched against his shirt in tiny, shocked gasps; pale-rose nipples scraped through thin fabric against his chest, hardening to aching points; thighs pressed together instinctively, a tiny, helpless clench.
Phei nearly
lost
his own controlâhis cock throbbed painfully behind his zipper, thick and heavy, already leaking hot pre-cum in thick ropesâbut instead he hugged her tighter, burying his face in her silver hair, inhaling the clean, sweet scent of her shampoo mixed with the faint, intimate musk of her arousal.
"
Maya~
" he whispered, eyes closed, voice reverent.
He pressed a slow, lingering kiss to the crown of her headâlips brushing soft strandsâthen another to her temple, then the delicate shell of her ear.
"You feel...
so fucking perfect
in my arms. Like you were made to fit right here."
She
snuggled
deeper in hisâanother tremor, softer this time, like she was melting into him.
Her small breasts pressed tighter against his chest, nipples dragging slow, teasing circles through fabric; her hips shifted shyly, the bare skin of her mound brushing the hard ridge of his cock through denim, making her gasp softly against his throat.
This was the closest and most bare theyâd ever been with each other.
After a long heartbeat she pulled back just enough to look upâeyes glassy, shining, so wide and soft and innocent heâd never seen anything like it in his life.
She rose on tiptoeâhesitant, tremblingâand kissed his cheek: the softest brush of lips, barely there, yet it burned straight through him like fire.
Then she ducked her head again, voice barely audible, cheeks flaming.
"Go... go shower. So we can sleep."
Phei smiledâslow, teasing, filthy-warmâhis thumb stroking the bare skin at the small of her back in slow, soothing circles.
"Want to join me?"
he murmured, voice dropping to gravel, lips brushing her forehead.
Maya froze.
A violent shiver ripped through herâfull-body, thighs clamping tight, breath catching in a tiny, shocked gasp.
Her nipples scraped harder against his shirt.
Then she boltedâripped herself from his arms, spun, and dove face-first into the bed.
She yanked the pillow over her head, muffling a high, shrieking wail.
"
Phei!
Shamelessâshamelessâ
shameless!
"
What she didnât realizeâwhat she couldnât possibly knowâwas how the lace robe had ridden up when she dove. The thin fabric clung uselessly to her hips, leaving the perfect,
heart-shaped
cheeks
of her ass bare to his gaze: smooth, pale, plush, the faint crease where thigh met cheek begging to be kissed, bitten, worshipped.
Slick already glistened along her inner thighs in glossy rivulets; her pussy peeked between themâpale-pink lips puffy and parted just enough to reveal the delicate inner folds, already shining with arousal, clit a tiny, swollen pearl peeking from its hood.
Fuck.
How can she be so hot...
He swallowed hardâthroat working visiblyâcock jerking painfully against denim, pre-cum soaking through in a thick, dark patch.
"So..." he drawled, stepping closer to the bed, voice low and teasing, "you donât want to join me?"
From beneath the pillow came a muffled, mortified squeak.
"
Thisâthis is our first night!
" she wailed, voice cracking with embarrassment.
"You should behaveâ!"
Phei laughedâsoft, warm, delighted.
"Exactly why Iâm asking, baby." He leaned one knee on the mattress, voice dropping to gravel and tender filth. "This is our first night. Thatâs why I want you in there with me.
Naked
.
Wet
.
Pressed against me
while the water runs over us bothâmy hands learning every inch of this perfect little body, my mouth tasting you everywhere, slow and sweet until youâre trembling and whispering my name like a prayer."
Maya shrieked againâhigher, more franticâshoved her face deeper into the pillow.
"
Thatâs not what I
meantâ!"
He laughed againâlow, fondâthen straightened.
"Alright, alright. Iâll behave... for now."
He turned toward the bathroomâpaused at the doorâglanced back.
She was still buried under the pillow, ass up, robe rucked high, thighs trembling, the faint silvery trail between her legs glistening under the lamp.
Phei smiledâsoft, boyish, utterly smitten.
"Shameless Phei, huh?" he teased gently.
From the bed came a muffled, indignant "
Yes!
"
He chuckled, stepped inside, and closed the door behind him.
A moment laterâsoft, invisibleâEira drifted closer to the bed.
She hovered just above the sheets, crystalline wings still, voice a conspiratorial whisper.
"I didnât know the
all-powerful Maya Scarlett
was, in the end... just a shy
virgin teenager
on her first night with her lover."
Mayaâs head snapped upâcheeks blazing scarlet, eyes wide with mortified fury.
"
Eiraâ!
"
She kickedâbare foot swiping through empty airâbut Eira was already darting away, giggling like wind chimes in a storm.
Maya collapsed back into the pillowâmuttering furiously, face buried again.
"
Shameless...
shameless... shameless
Phei...
"
But beneath the embarrassment, her lips curvedâjust the tiniest,
secret
smile.
Because even as she hid, her body still
thrummed
with the memory of his arms around her bare skin, his hands gliding over her back, his voice whispering her name like she was the only thing in the world that mattered.
And she knewâdeep downâexactly how
shameless
she wanted him to be.
