Chapter 1: His Birthday's Eve.

Lyra’s Pov.

I’ll never forget the night I lost my virginity. 

It’s the moment my life changed. 

Much more than just my life—my world. It came crumbling down when it isn’t my boyfriend who ends up inside me. If I had known what would happen, maybe I would have never stepped into this store. It’s the beginning of all my mistakes…

Staring at the sheer silk nightgown, my heart beats with nervousness.

My best friend, Cassie, groans in the background and can I hear the impatience in her groan, so I roll my eyes and turn, fixing the straps of the nightgown at my shoulder as I ask, “Do you think this is good enough?”

Cassie sits up, her silk blonde hair falling perfectly to the side as she responds, “I think you should go with the other one. The lace lingerie WITHOUT all the fabric getting in the way? 

It’ll make things a lot easier.”

Cassie’s eyes twinkle with mischief while I dart my gaze to the discarded lingerie she’s referring to. A shudder runs through me when I remember what I looked like in it, “That one makes me look like a hooker.”

Cassie’s responds with the kind of sass only she can pull off, “Is what you’ll be doing with him tonight any different?”

A furious blush climbs up my neck and my heart races a beat faster.

Well, tonight is an important night… I’m planning to lose my virginity to my boyfriend, Levi and It’s obvious me shopping for lingerie is in preparation for the passion I plan to have tonight. 

As my eyes drift back to the mirror and the soft pink slip currently on me, I shake my head in disagreement with Cassie’s opinion, “I can’t wear the lace lingerie. I think I’ll go with this instead.”

Cassie frowns in displeasure but shrugs, “If you insist. You look sexy in it too anyway.” 

Cassie sighs wistfully as she reclines back into the store couch, smiling sweetly as she adds, “I can’t wait to hear what Levi will do when he sees it on you. Promise to give me all the details?” Cassie usually isn’t this sweet so I’m surprised, but it still makes me giggle and I nod, “I promise you’ll hear all about it.” 

We laugh and still smiling, I suggest, “You should also get a boyfriend too, y’know. We’re graduating this year and this might be the only time we get to have any fun.” 

Cassie’s gaze turns uninterested immediately. It always does whenever I try to convince her to respond to any of her numerous suitors, except I’ve been friends with her for a long time now. I can see the twinkle of a secret in her eyes even as she looks away. At the checkout, Cassie gets the lace lingerie I didn't want, thw bra and panty pair in a deep red. Smirking, I slide up to her and whisper, “So… You are seeing someone new, right Cassie?”

Cassie shrugs, stone faced, “Maybe.”

I link my arm with hers and bat my eyelashes persuasively, throwing in a pout to sweeten the deal as I ask, “Won’t you tell your best friend who this new man is? You’re getting lingerie already, so it must be quite serious.”

Cassie chuckles at that but she does not tell me a thing. She’s acting coy and it’s strange, Cassie never acts coy, but it’s also nice to see her like this. Whoever has my bestfriend feeling coy, is obviously a good choice for her.

With numerous shopping bags loaded into the trunk of her car, Cassie waves goodbye, blowing a kiss to me as she drives off, “Good luck tonight!”

I wave back, and sighing in frustration, I wonder why she doesn’t just tell me who she’s seeing? 

Lately, I’ve been so busy with my thesis and work that I haven’t been in touch with Cassie, or my boyfriend, Levi. Maybe I can make up time to catch up with her later.

Levi has also been busy with work at his father’s company, but I decided on this special day—his special day—I want all my time to be for him. I get a soft but sultry makeup look done at a studio nearby, and after that I get into a cab heading to Levi’s place. 

As the car starts on its way…. my palms begin to sweat.

Actually, I’ve been planning this for a while now.

Levi and I began dating when we started college. He spent three years pursuing me, and at first, I doubted he truly wanted to have a relationship with me. 

Levi is classically handsome, and very popular. 

He had always been sunny and nice to everyone on campus, so I thought he was only teasing me and didn’t have any real interest in a relationship. He quickly proved me wrong though by publicly confessing his love to me and telling me how much he truly admired me. 

We started dating shortly after that. Levi has always wanted to be intimate since, but I've held him off. Now we’re about to graduate, and today’s his birthday, so this year I want to give him something special.

Something I promised to give only to the man that would marry me.

Taking a really deep breath as I get off the cab, I rifle through my bag for the keys to Levi’s apartment. 

I made sure to confirm he wouldn’t be inviting anyone over tonight, so even though the hallway is dark, I do not put on any of the lights. I simply take off my coat in the hallway and slip into the nightgown, then I head upstairs, straight to his room.  A shudder runs down my spine at the blast of cold air when I open the door. 

Levi’s air conditioner is on and the room is dark, which means he could be taking a nap inside. 

Biting my lip, I walk over to the bed, and by the faint light of the moon filtering in through the curtains, I see a body on the bed, a broad chest rising and falling slowly.

Calming my pounding heart, I slowly slide into the bed with him. 

Levi’s body is warm. So warm.

His body is much warmer than the coldness of the room.

I call his name softly, “Levi.”

Levi responds with a sleepy groan that rumbles from deep within his chest and stokes a fire in my core.

The room smells so masculine, like mountain winds and spicy pine forests, and the man I'm about to have sex with is the reason. 

My heart gallops in my chest as I lean down to kiss him.

Levi’s lips are soft but firm.

They’re cold, and for a moment I wonder if I shouldn't be doing this. It’s my first time afterall and we should probably discuss some things before he…. Levi kisses me back, and everything else melts away from the force of it.

Levi kisses the nervousness off me and I feel my body heating up in response to him. I slide the covers off us and press my body hard against his.

As my hands come into contact with firm muscle, a thrill rushes through my heart, but as I feel up more of him, I frown. Has Levi been working out lately? His chest is much broader than I remember.

His belly also feels firm and ribbed—like he has a six-pack, but Levi hasn’t been one to work out, so his muscles aren’t this defined.

“Levi?” I murmur his name against his lips, but the sounds of us kissing drowns it out. 

Levi groans, and it’s deep. A deep, breathy, groan that sends a tremor of liquid lust right through my stomach.

His hands gently slides strong fingers through my hair as he pulls me closer… My body is plastered fully onto his, my face enveloped in his kiss. Levi’s jaw is smooth and clean-shaven, and that’s strange… Levi always keeps a stubble of a beard on his chin. 

I take a break from kissing and whisper softly, teasingly, “Did you decide to finally shave your beard without telling me, love?”

The only response I get is powerful arms flipping me over effortlessly.

 My back hits the soft mattress like I weigh nothing, and the next few moments pass by in flashes of discomfort and deep desire.

Levi doesn’t stop kissing me.

He doesn’t stop running his hands over my body… It’s strange. Levi’s kisses are different from usual… Normally he’s so eager, always in a rush for his pleasure, but these kisses are slow… they’re mind-numbing and addictive.

Without warning, Levi pushes into me and for a moment I yelp at the feeling, pain so blinding tears immediately fall from my eyes coursing through me. I whimper and cry softly, but quickly after…. pleasure comes.

Levi’s dick hits my clit with each stroke. At every shift of his hips, the pleasure grows and grows until i’m whimpering from the pleasure.

Levi’s kisses make my mind hazy. His hands kneading my breasts make it hard to focus.

My heart feels like it’s running a beat too fast and my body is too hot and so sensitive.

As Levi slides in and out in soft, firm strokes, the pleasure in me peaks, and like a lit firework, it explodes. 

My mind blanks out and I moan loudly as my first orgasm rushes through me.

In this moment… all I can think of is the feeling of deep pleasure coursing through me, floating around me. It’s like waking in a dream, and even the sound of Levi’s flesh steadily pounding against mine feels like music to my ears.

Levi cums… And his sharp, rumbling, groan shatters everything.

My heart immediately begins to gallop as I call out in a panic, “Levi?”

I’ve heard Levi come before…

He’s made me watch him jerk off countless times and I know the sound he makes. This sound isn’t that sound. This is much deeper, and raspier. It sounds sexier, but…

A deep voice responds to me in the stark darkness, “It’s not Levi.”

The body over me shifts and I hear the click of a light switch. The lights come on… and I’m too shocked to scream. My heart and all the euphoria coursing through me shatters, as if smashed onto the cold hard ground.

A notoriously handsome face stares back at me.

Under the light of the room, I can see deep-set blue eyes, a high bridge nose, and a firm, chiseled jaw. Those glacier blue eyes narrow at me as he asks, “Lyra?”

I… Oh god. Oh god, I’m screwed.

It’s not Levi.

It’s… It’s Levi's brother, Christian Storm.

The reality of what just happened fully dawns on me… It hits me with the force of a speeding train.

I just gave my virginity to my boyfriend’s brother!
