I laugh a little bit. “Those were the days.”
“Maybe,” I say. “But maybe not. I was working a lot, even back then.”
“I guess you’d have to.”
I smirks at me. “What’s that mean?”
“Well, to get where you are now. You’d have to work hard for it.”
He nods and puts the picture back. “It’s true. You can be blessed with brains and an amazing idea, but without hard work, nothing ever happens.”
I laugh as he heads into the kitchen and pours two glasses of water. “Sounds like something a motivational speaker would say.”
He shrugs. “Sometimes that shit’s right, I guess.”
I accept my glass and drink half of it down. “How was getting Lacey down?” I ask.
“Piece of cake,” he says.
“She’s not always so easy, you know.”
“Oh, I know,” he says. “You know you’re the first nanny I’ve had watching her fulltime, right? I used to work half days and relieve the other girl I had working here around noon.”
“Must have been nice,” I say. “How many girls have you had working for you, anyway?”
He laughs and grins at me. “Are you jealous?”
I blush and shake my head. “Of course not.”
“Sure.” He sits down at the counter. “Don’t worry, though. She was fifty-five and not my type.”
“Right. Of course.” I sit down next to him, feeling a little foolish. I guess when he said “girl,” I assumed she was my age.
“You’re the youngest person I’ve had work for me,” he says. “Most attractive, too.”
“Is that why you had me come over?” I ask him. “Just to compliment my looks?”
“No,” he says. “I think you know why I wanted you to come over here.”
“Why’s that?” I can feel my heart beating in my chest. He moves closer to me. I walk backwards until I run into the counter. A smirk crawls across his face.
“We have unfinished business.” He stops inches away from me, but he doesn’t touch me. He might as well be stroking my skin, though, because I feel so excited just having him near.
“There’s something I want to talk to you about,” I say quickly.
“Okay,” he says. “Let’s talk about it then.”
“I haven’t been totally honest with you.”
He frowns slightly. “About what?”
“I told you that I’m inexperienced,” I say slowly.
“Right. I recall that.”
“Well, I left something out.” I suddenly can’t find the courage to say the words. He steps closer and slowly puts his hands on my hips. A thrill runs down my spine and my heart starts to hammer even faster. I feel like I might hyperventilate.
“Say it, Erin,” he whispers in my ear. “Go ahead.” His lips are so close to mine. “Just say the words.”
“I’m a virgin.”
He kisses me hard and deep, sending an explosion of desire down my spine.
We kiss like that for what feels like forever. I wrap my arms around his neck and he pulls me tight against him. I can feel that thrill and desire making my pussy dripping wet for him, and I suddenly realize that it doesn’t matter if I’m a virgin. It just doesn’t matter at all.
Slowly, we break apart. “I know you are,” he says softly, smirking at me.
“You knew?”
“Of course. Well, I guessed, at least. “
“How?”
“I put two and two together.” He kisses me again, biting my lower lip softly. “I can teach you, Erin.”
“What can you teach me?” I stare into his handsome eyes.
“Everything.”
He kisses me again, slow and deep.

I had a feeling. I knew something was up with her, and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense that she was a virgin.
She’s been avoiding me, but she doesn’t seem to have a good reason for it. She’s clearly into me, and yet she’s completely hot and cold. Being a virgin can explain all of that.
She’s afraid. She’s never slept with someone, let alone been with a guy like me. I probably freaked her out a little bit the other day. I showed her just how far I can take things, how good I can make her feel, and I think I scared her. She realized that she doesn’t know a damn thing.
But that should have excited her instead. Maybe she thought I wouldn’t like it, but god damn, I fucking love it. I fucking love that she’s a virgin. She’s clay that I can mold into the perfect fucking vessel for me. I can teach her everything I like, make her perfect for me, and in the process I can make her feel so fucking good. I can show her just how incredibly fucking can be, and she doesn’t have to waste her time on some inexperienced losers before she gets to have me.
