Cowgirl Up and Ride by Lorelei James Page A

heard a click and then his fingers were pushing a cold, sticky substance inside her.
    She gasped softly.
    “Just lubrication. You’re wet, but I don’t wanna hurt you. Ready?”

    She nodded, hoping he attributed her racing heart and shaking limbs to excitement and not fear.
    Cord levered himself over her and reached between them. He circled the blunt tip around her opening and then started to push his cock in.
    And in.
    And in.
    And it still wasn’t in. And what was in—hurt.
    His hot breath teased her ear. “AJ, don’t tense up.”
    “I’m not. I told you it wouldn’t fit.”
    Cord half-laughed/half-groaned. His lips feathered across her jaw to her mouth. He began to kiss her in that bone-melting way of his.
    AJ slid her hands up his strong arms and into his hair. She concentrated on the feel of his silky tongue in her mouth. The glide of his rougher skin on hers. The delicious way he smelled. The cool sheets on her back. The heat of his muscled body on her front. The sounds of their labored breathing. The muted lighting and the soft mattress. The fierce need but unbelievable gentleness pouring from him.
    He was rocking into her in short bursts when all of a sudden the kiss intensified. His hands pushed her hips down as his pelvis thrust up.
    She gasped. “Oh God. That hurts.”
    “Ssh. I’m in all the way. Just relax around me. It’ll get better.”
    Then Cord bent his head and suckled her nipples. And kept sucking until some primitive instinct told her to move under him. He kissed her neck, returned to her nipples, nuzzling her cleavage, breathing over the damp spots he’d created on her skin, kissing wherever he could reach, muttering nonsensical words against her skin. Dragging his rough fingertips up and down her shaking thighs.
    He murmured, “Baby doll, I’ve gotta move. Wrap your legs around my waist. Trust me.”
    AJ was feeling less panicked but nowhere near comfortable. The second she lifted up, all the hot hardness slipped out and plunged back in.

    That wasn’t bad. That felt kinda…good. “Do it again.”
    Cord pumped his hips, slowly sliding in and out. “Okay?”
    “Yeah. Is it okay for you?”
    “Hot.” He pulled out. “Wet.” He pushed in. “Tight.” He eased out. “Not just okay.
    Perfect.” He thrust in a little harder. “See? You are a perfect fit for me.”
    AJ closed her eyes, feeling the thick male part filling her, sending tingles from her core throughout her whole body. “I like that.”
    He increased the pace. The strokes were shorter. Deeper. His breaths near her temple were unsteady and fast.
    “AJ. Look at me.”
    She opened her eyes. Sweat trickled down Cord’s face. His jaw was tight. She traced his profile, amazed by him, by this intimacy. “What?”
    “This.” Cord squeezed his hands on her butt, buried his face in her throat and drove his cock inside her to the hilt.
    As he groaned, her inner tissues were so swollen and sensitized that she felt the tip of his sex twitching as he bathed her insides with his hot seed.
    She couldn’t think of a more ideal way to lose her virginity.

Chapter Ten
    Cord raised his head and gazed at AJ’s face. Her long black lashes fanned her flushed cheek. Her well-kissed lips were curved into a smirk.
    He tickled that sassy little mole with his beard.
    She sighed. “A virgin no more.”
    “You sore?”
    “A little.”
    “Then I’m not pullin’ out because I can’t wait to have you again.”
    AJ blushed.
    “Hang on.” Cord rolled until his back was flat on the mattress and she was on top.
    “Better. Now I don’t hafta worry I’m squashin’ you.”
    “I don’t mind.” She laid her head on his chest and sighed again.
    Such a heartfelt sigh. He knew the feeling as he let his palms drift up and down her naked back from her ass to her shoulders.
    “What was your first
