Craving My Ruthless Ceo novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Roman’s POV

The moment I pushed inside her, just the tip, barely an inch, I knew.

Fuck. She was a virgin.

The word exploded in my mind even as my body screamed at me to drive deeper.

She was so impossibly tight, gripping me like a vice. Her body resisted even that small intrusion, and suddenly everything made sense. The nervousness. The fear in her eyes. The way she’d whimpered when I’d first touched her.

My instinct had been right all along. Every time I’d confronted her about her supposed experience, every time she’d lied through her teeth, some primal part of me had known the truth.

Virgins were off-limits. It was an unspoken rule I’d had for years, one I’d never broken. I didn’t want the responsibility that came with taking someone’s first time, the guilt, the expectations, the emotional baggage.

And, fuck, Anna was different from every other woman I’d been with. She was far younger and worked for me. Over the past months, I’d gotten to know her on a personal level in a way I had never known any of my other mistresses.

I knew her dreams. Her desire for a family. The way she lit up when she talked about having children someday.

She had probably fantasized about her first time being with a man who loved her.

A man who could give her everything she deserved, marriage, babies, a white picket fence, and a golden retriever.

And I couldn’t give her any of that.

So even though I was buried just slightly inside her virgin heat, my cock throbbing with the desperate need to thrust forward and claim her completely, to make her mine in the most primal way possible, I stopped.

I gripped her hips and pulled back, Slowly, Reluctantly. Every cell in my body protested the movement,

My cock slipped free with an obscene wet sound, and I nearly groaned at the loss of her heat.

Anna whimpered, a sound caught between pain and desperate need that almost made me take back my decision.

“Roman?” Her voice was small and confused. “What… why are you…”

I stepped back completely, running a hand through my hair. My cock was still hard, still glistening with her wetness, throbbing painfully. But I barely noticed.

All I could see was the disappointment and confusion on her face.

I was doing this for her. She did not see it yet, but I was giving her a chance to find someone who could offer her what she truly deserved.

“Why are you pulling away?” Anna’s voice rose, panic edging into it. “Is it because I’m a virgin?”

Ireached for my boxer briefs, pulling them up over my still-hard cock. The fabric did nothing to ease the ache

“Fuck, Anna…” I grabbed my pants next. “You’re in pain. Isn’t that enough?”

“No.” She straightened on the desk, her hair a mess around her shoulders, her cheeks flushed. “It’s meant to hurt the first time. I might be a virgin, but I’ve done my research. So if that’s what you’re worried about, we can try again. Get it over with.”

1 froze, my pants halfway up my hips, and stared at her.

Get it over with?

She actually thought I’d stopped because I did not know how to handle a virgin. Because I was worried about the mechanics of it.

“Anna.” I pulled my pants up the rest of the way, fastening them with jerky movements. “Of course I know how to sleep with a virgin.”

Her mouth formed a small O.

“I probably know better than anyone how to make your first time good.” I could not keep the edge from my voice. “But this isn’t just about that.”

“Then what is it about?” She pushed off the desk, standing now, though her legs looked unsteady.

I reached for my shirt, my fingers working the buttons. My hands were steadier than they should have been, given the chaos raging inside me.

“It’s about the fact that you lied.” I met her eyes. “All this time. Damn it.” I shook my head. “Why would you lie about something as important as this?”

Guilt flashed across her face. She wrapped her arms around herself, suddenly looking very exposed and vulnerable.

“Because…” Her voice cracked. “It was obvious you preferred women who knew what they were doing.”

She looked away. “I wanted you to see me that way. As someone sophisticated. Not some inexperienced virgin who’d never…”

“Anna.” Her name came out strained.

“This shouldn’t change anything.” Her words tumbled out desperately. “It doesn’t have to matter. I still want this. I still want you.”

“It shouldn’t matter,” I agreed quietly, shoving another button through its hole. “But it does.”

I bit my lip, unable to answer. Unable to look away from his intense gaze.
