“Fuckin’ amazing,” he roared. Then, realizing that he was still on top of me, “Am I too heavy foryou?" his voice apologetic.
"A little," Isaid smiling into his eyes.
He kissed the top of my head and slowly pushed himself up.
"As much as I want to stay on top of you, I think I better get rid of this,"referring to the condom.
I was so glad Zander had his own bathroom. This meant that I didn’t have to go out of his room to change or wash myself. With the loud moans coming from his room a few minutes ago, I felt my face heat up at the prospect of running into his roommate on the way to the bathroom.
I slowly sat on the bed and immediately, I felt different. My body felt sore, used. My knees shook and my hands, unsteady.
I heard his footsteps come closer to the bed.
"Sedona, are you a virgin?" he asked. His eyes burned through me.His face was slightly pale.
"Huh?" I was caught offguard. How did he find out?
"Are you?" he asked again. Thistime, his voice was softer.
"No, I'm not," I answered.
"Then why are there some streaks of blood in the condom wrapper?" He didn't look angry. As a matter of fact, he looked quite shocked.
"Well, I was a virgin," I took a big gulp of air, "until a few minutes ago."
All of a sudden, he was by my side, hugging me and kissing me.
"Why didn't you tell me? I could have gone slower or gentler or more careful with you." He was rambling, nervous, and apologetic at the same time.
I couldn't see his face because he wasmore than half a foot taller than me and my forehead was tucked just a little above his chin.
"Zander, shhhh. You were so good with me. I couldn't have asked for more." I tried to silence him.
He slowly let go and said, "You stay here, ok?" Then he went back to the bathroom.
About 3 minutes later, he came back to the bed.
"You're probably sore. I think it's good if you have a warm bath." The expression on his was face filled with gentleness.
"I think that's a great idea," I smiled at him. I was right. My first time was great because of him. He was sensual, passionate, and caring.
He stood to the side while I walked to the bathroom. Once inside the bathroom, I saw that he had the bathtub half-filled with water and bubbles were starting to form on top of the water. Where did heget bubble bath soap? The half-filled open bubble bath container was sitting on the edge of the tub.
Ifound myself close to tears.
As one, two, tears trickled down my face, I realized I was crying.Happy tears. I cried because Zander was such a great guy. I couldn't have found a better man to lose my virginity to. I cried because no matter what happened between us, he will forever hold that piece of me. My first lover.
I must have dozed off in the tub; I barely heard Zander's knock.
"Everything ok?" he askedas he entered the bathroom.
I nodded ashe handed me the towel hanging on the side of the towel rack.
I slowly stood up from thetub and I heard him exhale.
"You should stay here tonight," he said, matter-of-factly. He grabbed 4 pieces of tissues from the Kleenex box by the bathroom sink.
"Hmm, do you want me to?" I looked at him in the mirror. He was wearing his navy boxers with no shirt.
