.........but also his respect for her still being and remaining a virgin in our times is no big deal, sex being much more liberal than 600 years ago. So he probably wouldn’t expect her to be or does he taste it in her blood so he is a fact aware but she would still be acting a little more timid. So basically I was just suggesting to maybe slow it down slightly once they get naked, maybe including her nervousness that either leads him to realise something is wrong and she tells him, or perhaps her increased nervousness has her completely stop him at the point his fingers go to internally explore and tells him of her virginity. This gives him time to think about this as being an even more precious moment for both of them plus it’s effect on the ritual. Then he is even more in awe of the pure angel and really takes his time (which its already written that he wanted to take his time because he’d waited for this moment for so long - to be with his mate) but also now to make her first experience As enjoyable as possible plus the additional element of her virginity within the sacred ritual of MATING. Then as things progress, blend this into what you’ve already written for the scene would make everything seem even more intense. I don’t know, I think it would bring another dimension and possibilities to enhance the story with new elements (like virginity + mating = ??? Something extra special to their bond) and just make this scene even more climactic (if that’s the right word) but would definitely benefit for storyline continuity. With just a little tweaking at the beginning is all is needed as what you’ve already written is exceptionally good!
Please don’t take this as a negative comment, I’m hoping just to point out a ‘hole’ in the storyline and a few suggestions that I hope you see as helpful.
And thus far this is one was the most enjoyable stories I’ve read. It is shaping up to be one of my favourites. You are very creatively talented, that it for sure!
