She pauses to give him a look, the sort that silently tells him, yes, Shaun, there are such things as stupid questions. "I'll show you how sure I am."
And she does, her movements swift and knowing, while Shaun passively mirrors what he can and fumbles through it. He has the desire, but lacks the experience, whereas she has both. She has hunger and need and it intimidates the hell out of him.
His first time doesn't feel like his own. It feels more like her outlet. He'd be happy to focus on her if only he had a better grasp on how, and either she's too impatient or needy to teach him. Even when he attempts to slow the pace so that he can learn on his own, she changes it and keeps him on his back.
It's like an out of body experience, feeling like it's not enough and too much simultaneously. He tries to process what just happened between heavy breaths and beads of sweat rolling down his temple, but it's all a blur.
"How was that?"
"A little intense."
Her smirk tells him she takes it as praise, and it should be, right? Right, of course it is.
There's very little discussion; they exchange looks and smiles and know this is it. They make each other laugh and moan all the way to the bed, neither of them in a hurry. That's how it feels the whole time: easy and slow without being pain-staking, because it's not about the tease, it's simply about enjoying each other.
Their first time is theirs as they wrap themselves up in each other like there is nothing else worth focusing on in the world. And for the moment, there truly isn't. Shaun lays out all his attention on his lover, and his lover does the same for him as they strike up some sort of natural balance that makes their toes curl and hearts pound faster. Shaun feels like his heart is going to burst through his chest.
There is no distance between them in the aftermath. Instead, they're collapsed into one another, trying to catch their breaths together and figure out a more comfortable resting position. How ever his lover moves, he keeps Shaun close and of course he curls against his lover to find a place to rest his head.
It's just right. It's not planned out, but it's everything he could want.
