He couldn't believe what she had just said. His eyes bore the same expression of surprise that his heart bore. His brows were lifted in disbelief for he couldn't fathom in the wildest of his dreams for her to say something like this.

"Are you trying to play with me?", Raymond asked looking into her eyes.

She just shook her head without saying a word but that was enough to invoke the demons inside him. He looked at her silently for a second and then unclasped his finger from hers slowly.

Without breaking the contact with her eyes, his hands came up to hold her waist. Initially, he just rested his hands on her waist but slowly his fingers started moving under the layers of her camisole, playing with her bare soft skin.

Her breathing stopped for a moment and she just closed her eyes.

A smile etched on his face seeing the beautiful reaction of hers. It was nothing but pure love and pure desire between the two bodies who wanted to be united with their souls.

He kept grazing his hands on the smooth skin of her back and slowly he went up and unclasped her in one swift move, releasing her assets from the confines of restriction.

She shuddered, for it was her first time being so intimate with anyone. Even though Anthony was her boyfriend, she had never let him do anything more than a kiss, but it was totally opposite with Raymond. She wanted him to desire her in every possible way.

He embraced her complete back with his arms and with one swift move he flipped her, pushing her down on the bed. He saw her chest rising and falling rapidly. The soft satin of the camisole now clung to her chest, totally giving away how her body was reacting to his touch.

His eyes scanned her a bit and then he locked his gaze onto hers and said,

"God, I love you Akira".

"You are just beautiful, do you know that?"

She blushed all scarlet and he slowly grazed his fingers on her chest where the pendant was lying and then softly kissed under it. His hands slowly moved down on her chest, touching her inch by inch.

Her toes curled with his touch as he moved his fingers slowly and then he suddenly stopped and said,

"Can I kiss you here?"

Her eyes were laden in panic, but her heart trusted him and she just looked at him in silence as he tugged the borders of her camisole and moved his lips to touch her barren skin. The moment his lips landed on hers, she was ecstatic like she has been struck by a thousand volt of lightning.

There was a sudden surge of weird energy within her and her back arched automatically. His deft hands moved automatically underneath to support her back in harmony like he understood every single need of her body.

She was just a sheer layer away from welcoming nakedness and she was very much aware of it.

There was nothing but love in his eyes and he wanted to give it all to her. He saw her heart palpitating, her chest rising up and down in a surge and her erratic breathing. He was amazed to see her body react to his touch this way, but that made things difficult for him for he was losing his restraint.

He moved up and kissed her lips tenderly and slowly at first and then he unleashed the hunger inside him. His tongue got busy luring her more and more towards him. He teased her lips, bit them, licked them and ruled over them in every possible way.

His right hand moved under the nape of her neck to support her as he tried to conquer the crevices of her mouth.

His free left hand started becoming busy exploring the edges of her body.

She moaned, curled, clasped unclasped everything possible but nothing could save her from withering under his touch.

Then suddenly he felt a drop of wetness land on his arm which was holding her neck.

Startled, he opened his eyes and looked at her face and saw her eyes flooded with tears.

She saw him looking at her in surprise and she curled her arms around him and hugged him tight and said,

"I love you, Raymond, promise me that you will never leave me".

Her words were few but their impact was insurmountable.

In his arms lied this young girl who trusted him with all her heart and she was all that he wanted.

He locked his gaze on her and slowly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and asked,

"Have you ever?"

Her expressions were still blank for she couldn't comprehend what he meant.

So he asked explicitly.

"Have you ever you know? Done it?"

She looked at him for a moment and then stole her gaze to the side and meekly replied,

"No".

"NO ???", he almost screamed in surprise and then ran his fingers through her hair and asked her softly,

"What were you doing Akira?"

She had no answer. Her hands started playing with the sheets and she started looking at the side table all embarrassed.

A hint of smile spread on his face as he saw her all shy and coy and asked,

"So you really wanted me to be your first?"

She suddenly looked at him and she looked displeased.

"Not just first, I want you to be the only one", she said and clearly she sounded all offended.

He gently cupped her chin and said,

"Then not like this".

Saying that he kissed on her forehead and then got up and went near the window to feel the cool breeze on his face to calm himself down.

She climbed down the bed and started walking towards him, but then saw him suddenly raising his hand asking her to stop.

"Stop there. Don't even dare to move an inch further".

"But why? What did I do?", she asked all surprised with the sudden change in his tone.

"Because this time I might not be able to stop", he said and climbed out through the window.

Standing outside he looked at her and sighed and then reached for his pocket and took a SIM card out and placed it on the side of the window and before leaving he said,

"It's a PRIVATE NUMBER".
