Chapter 22

• Those two words sent a rush of fire and satisfaction through my veins. As he pushed into me, inch by agonizing inch, all I could feel was him. The sensation was mind-blowing—both too much and not enough at the same time. The sting of pain from losing my virginity made my breath hitch. It flared, sharp and raw, but surprisingly, Nikos grounded me with his touch.
• He moved in and out of me with deep but slow strokes, his lips finding mine in a rough kiss that was in stark contrast to how he was fucking me. He kissed me like he was trying to put a mark on my lips, the warmth of his mouth against mine, easing the sharp edges of my discomfort.
• The pain began to ebb as his hand slid to my breast, his thumb brushing over my sensitive nipple. The action sent jolts of pleasure through me.
