Grace POVMy entire body aches. Everything in me is heightened. I groan as I move on the bed and blink several times before I sit up straight. Last night was a rollercoaster and after sex, Dash became distant, as if he was closed off into his own little world. The way his jaw was clenching and his hands closed into fists resting on his legs made me not want to say anything. I think he knows I am a virgin. Correction. I was a virgin. I bet he could tell, but why was he so upset after? Was it that? Og God, I was terrible. That had to be the reason. There’s no other reason. Every time I would hear men say about a girl’s virginity they were proud to be their first one, it’s like a prize, so that can’t be the reason he was upset, I probably sucked big time and he didn’t enjoy himself, well he enjoyed himself because he came all over my ass and back, but… I don’t know. I move my hands through my hair, putting my glasses on before I get out of bed. I never imagined my first time would be
Grace POV“Great,” I let out as the doorbell rings. My mother’s eyes locked on me while I took a deep breath walking to the door. I open it fast and Dash is standing there. His hair is messy, his eyes darken, and the circles under his eyes make me realize he hasn’t slept. I look at him as I open my mouth and he shakes his head before stepping inside. His hands are inside his pants pockets, his jacket is open and his black shirt is not tucked into his pants like last night. He looks messy as hell and when his eyes meet mine as soon as I close the door; I see the anger in them. “Who’s that?” My mother’s voice booms from the kitchen while Dash looks at me and then at the door and my eyes move between the door and him. Anxiety piling up, making me feel extremely uncomfortable staring at the man that took my virginity. The man I made me feel like a woman for the first time. I don’t know if I blame everything that happened yesterday or his persistence. The way he made me feel. “You’re no
Dash POVWhen I came to see Grace, I wasn’t expecting to find her mother here. First, I thought she was here to support Grace after what I did to her. I know I was a dickhead by taking her virginity and then treating her like she is nothing, but I was dying inside. She treated her virginity like it was nothing, and if I knew… Oh fuck if I knew… What killed me the most wasn’t that she was a virgin. It was that she didn’t tell me.If she had told me, I would have taken it, but I would have done it in a bed, inside four walls, taking my time to pleasure her before I made her feel the pain she felt. As soon as I fucked her, I regretted it. My insides twisted and I couldn’t even look at her. I have never felt shame after having sex before. It was a first for me. The tears rolling down her face broke something inside of me, something I didn’t know I had. My heart.Having a sh
Grace POV“Don’t touch me, Grace,” Dash says, and the way he says it makes me pull my hand away from him. Everything in me screaming to run away, to stop this, but my stupid heart is telling me to stay, to apologize. I don’t know what to do or what to say and when I try to speak, he cuts me off asking me why I didn’t tell him. Tell him?I tilt my head slightly as I stare into his beautiful ocean-blue eyes. I can see the hurt in them. He is not hiding from me. He differs from every other guy I have met before. He doesn’t hide behind a mask.“Why didn’t you tell me you were a virgin? If only you had told me,” Dash says and everything in me dies. My brain shuts down and my heart skips a beat. Would it have made a difference?“Things would’ve been different, right?” I let out and his eyes meet mine once more and he nods. That&rsq
Grace POVNow I understand why he said my first time should’ve been different. Everything was different from how he took me in the car. He was careful, and he took his time making me feel good. God, the way he ate my pussy. I can’t help but smile, remembering his eyes staring into mine while he licked my pussy.He treated me like I was breakable, but every touch was perfect. Dash was the most amazing lover the three times we had sex. I roll on the bed and watch as he sleeps. His hand resting on his naked stomach. His chest moving with his breathing and the soft snore. The man looks as good asleep as he looks awake. I never knew it was possible to ache in some places I am aching right now.Dash bent me in so many positions, I felt like I was a contortionist in a circus, but when he placed me on top of him and told me to ride him was the best thing in the world. His eyes never left mine while his hands kept m
Dash POV“I’ll call you when I am done,” I tell Turner before I exit the car. I am having a meeting with Connor Astor about the new club that we will be opening next week. The guest list is so exclusive that there are pages online speculating about who will be attending the event. The amount of free press we are getting is surreal. We’re doing things in secrecy, the invitation is sent, but the location is not disclosed. No one knows where the club is going to be, everything is being done in the dark and I am loving every second of it. The guests are sent an NDA that they sign before they even get the dress code. The opening will be themed and once a month we will have an even more exclusive party than the normal nights with different themes. The opening theme is Saints and Sinners, where only three colors are allowed. White, black and red. I honestly can’t wait for that party. Walking up the steps to the Astor building, I am stopped by a familiar voice calling my name. “Good Mornin
Grace POVGoing back to school seems weird after the last few days I had. The robbery at the rescue center, Dash and my parents. I look around, trying to find my friends as I enter the coffee shop, but they are not there. I walk to the counter, greeting the young girl serving another client. I look at the specials board considering drinking something different. I have been through so much these last few days that I think I could try something new.“Hey Grace, didn’t see you there,” Jason says as he approaches me from behind the counter. “You’re the first one today,” he says, offering a genuine smile.“Hey Jason, I guess I am a little early today,” I let out, focusing on the board again. Jason looks over his shoulder to see what I am staring at and then he smiles.“Trying something new?” He asks and I nod, offering him a smile. Jason is the own
Grace POVI spent the entire day yesterday dodging Dash’s calls and attempts to contact me. I know I probably shouldn’t, but I just couldn’t talk to him. I was feeling hurt, and I didn’t want him to know I saw the photo. I messaged him saying Amber needed me and I would be with her all day. I know he didn’t believe me because he kept trying to call me and I wouldn’t answer.Whatever happened between him and that woman has nothing to do with me, but if he wants people to believe we are really engaged, maybe he shouldn’t be photographed with other women. I bet the press is having a field day with this and they are dragging my name through the mud.My parents tried calling me, and I didn’t answer. If I didn’t want to talk to Dash, I really didn’t want to talk to them. How would I explain him being with another woman? The way the photo was taken looked like
