Dark Passions

26.

Meredith moaned in her sleep, dreaming of Derek, and the feel of his hands on her skin. Her eyes opened and she blinked in confusion, realizing it was only a dream. Her body tingled with the remembrance of it, and she smiled softly in the dark. Then her thoughts became jumbled with Derek, and the man she had given her virginity to when she was only eighteen. He had been kind enough, but not nearly as gentle as Derek, she thought drowsily. If only Derek had been her first true lover, what would that have been like...

"Ah, sweet Meredith," Derek murmured, "you're shaking. Are you scared?"

Meredith gazed up into his intense blue eyes, and lost any thought of being nervous. Her heart beat rapidly. "No, I want this...I want you..." she assured him, the heat simmering in her core at his nearness.

"I've wanted to do this for so long," he said softly, taking her face in his hands and lowering his head. His lips brushed across hers, gently, carefully seeking her permission to go further. Despite her assurances, he could feel her body trembling, and he reined in his raging desire. If he went too fast, he would surely scare her with the intensity of his passion. The fact she was giving up her virginity for him was a special gift, and he did not wish to make this a bad experience.

He let his tongue circle her delicate earlobe, and she moaned when he took it between his lips and nibbled gently. Then he trailed kisses down her throat, his hands stroking the length of her back. The thin night shift she wore was nearly transparent, and he felt the tips of her pert breasts pressing against his naked chest. Meredith sighed at the feeling of his strong body so close to hers, and his touch set her skin on fire. This was just as she imagined it would feel, wrapped in her lover's embrace.

Derek groaned, and let his mouth touch hers again, softly, barely grazing her lips. He kept the pressure light and teasing, and she longed for more. Her mouth parted and she wound her arms around his neck, seeking more. Derek was determined not to hurry, and he caught her lip in his teeth, then traced her lip with his tongue. He feathered kisses across her cheek, and her forehead, her temple, while his hands roamed the skin of her back, and along the curve of her derriere.

Meredith pressed tighter against him, the feel of his muscular body, and the sudden insistent hardness of his cock against her, combined to make her almost dizzy. Dear god, he felt so huge - how was that going to fit inside of her, she wondered briefly. Somehow this part of lovemaking had never been fully explained by her giggling girlfriend.

Then Derek made a low growl of desire in his throat, and captured her mouth again, the light kisses turning more passionate. This time his tongue invaded her mouth, searching for hers, and she eagerly met it with her own. Sighing and whimpering, she surrendered to his kisses. Her knees felt weak, and Derek sensed the shift in her body. He lifted his head and smiled warmly at her, and carefully helped her down onto the huge featherbed. Meredith let herself fall back, her hair tumbling around her gloriously, knowing he was devouring the sight of her nearly nude body displayed for him. Her nipples jutted up against the silky material, and the hem of it inched up higher along her legs. Her breath caught as he reached down to push the gown away from her shoulders, baring her breasts to him. "Yes," he said quietly, surveying her, "exactly how I dreamed of you." Entranced by her beauty, her body lit with the flickering candlelight, and her willingness to be with him.

He cupped one breast, kneading it, his thumb flicking over the nipple. It hardened even more, the heat of it searing Meredith's belly, making her arch up to meet his hand. He lowered his head, letting his tongue tease the other nipple, swirling around it, barely touching. Then he licked it deliberately, around the sensitive aureole, before spiraling upwards around the tip. His other hand continued to caress her other breast, and the combination made them feel heavy and full, aching with need. Just as she thought she would go mad, his mouth covered her nipple and he sucked hard on it, sending a arc of exquisite pleasure through her. The pressure of his sinful mouth on her, combined with the throb that vibrated between her legs sent Meredith into a spiral of bliss. Then he moved to her other breast, lavishing the same attention as the first, before trailing kisses down her body. Her whole body tightened, and a delicious pleasure took over deep inside of her. She closed her eyes, moaning. Could it possible get even better than this, she wondered...
