As Joshua's warm breath caressed the nape of her neck, the crisp, enticing scent of his cologne wrapped around Allison, sending sparks through her senses. Her nerves tightened, and she found herself breathing faster, and caught up in the moment.
Joshua spoke softly, his eyes dropping to her lips, which were just inches away. He leaned in, brushing his lips against hers with a feather-light touch that sent shivers down her spine. "So sweet," he murmured.
Allison's heart was pounding, her breath hitching as she lay there, tense and motionless. Was sex the reward Joshua had hinted at? She had never been through something like this before, and her nerves were all over the place. Her heart felt like it might leap right out of her chest.
Joshua sensed her tension and pulled back slightly, chuckling softly, "Relax, Allie, I'm not going to eat you."
Then, he kissed her again. At first, the kisses were soft and tentative, like he was testing the waters. Allison was taken aback, wondering if maybe she had read too much into things. But soon, Joshua's kisses grew deeper, the sweet taste of peaches mingling between them, and Allison found it harder to catch her breath.
Their fingers laced together, and a fiery warmth spread through Allison, making her feel feverish. Everything felt so natural. When they reached the final moment, Joshua paused to ask, "Allie, is this okay?"
Blushing, Allison nodded. There was a box of condoms in the bedside drawer, ensuring everything was safe before Joshua carried on.
For Allison, this was a whole new world. She had figured their first time might happen eventually. After all, she and Joshua had been together for several months—it wasn't rushed. Joshua was gentle at first, careful not to hurt her, but gradually, his movements became more intense. Allison gave in to the waves of passion, losing herself completely in the moment, rising and falling with Joshua.
It wasn't until deep into the night that Joshua finally paused. In a blissful daze, Allison drifted off to sleep. She woke up the next afternoon, realizing it was already three o'clock.
