*Vic's P.O.V.*

(Flashback)

I rolled her onto her back, running my hands up and down her sides. Her skin felt smooth under my rough hands. Her mouth was like poison, intoxicating me with every kiss.

I broke apart from her, breathing heavily, and looked deep into her blue-green eyes. They sparkled even in the nearly dark interior of my room. Everything was perfect.

Me and Riley have been dating for over five months now, and I think tonight is the night. I could feel her eagerness, but to me this wasn't just about the sex. It was about the moment I shared with her. I trusted her, and I knew I was experiencing love. I was in love with her, whether she felt the same way or not.

She looked up at me excitedly.

"Riley?"

"Yea?"

"Do you trust me?" I asked her, preparing myself just in case.

I felt her hands slide up my arms before resting them on the back of my neck. She pulled me closer to her and I could see her eyes flicking all around my face as she studied me carefully. "Yes, I trust you," she finally answered.

I inched my face closer to hers, letting the tip of my nose touch hers. "Do you trust me a lot? Are you ready?"

She looked deep into my eyes, "Yes."

My lips crashed onto hers, passion radiating through my body. I explored every inch of her with my lips, and she moaned out in pleasure. I slowly let myself inside her, unsure of her past experiences. She was always hesitant to talk about past relationships with me, so I never knew how far she actually went.

She tugged on my hair and I grazed my teeth against her neck. I heard her moan out my name and I smiled. I was going easy with her, trying hard to not hurt her. She noticed this and brought her lips back on mine. As if secretly saying she liked pain, she bit my lip hard, drawing blood. I groaned and continued to go faster.

When we both reached our climax, I collapsed on the bed next to her. Sweat dripped off both our bodies and I kissed the side of her head. I wrapped both my arms around her waist and pulled her into me as she turned on her side.

She kissed my nose and sighed, "That was perfect."

I moaned in agreement and started to play with her hair.

I looked deep into her eyes. "Riley, I...I'm in love with you. I understand if you don't feel like that right now," I couldn't help the words pouring off my tongue and into the air.

"Vic...I think...that I might just be in love with you too," she whispered.

I smiled and she buried her face in my chest. I heard her tiny snores shortly after and I held her more tightly, loving the way she fit perfectly in my arms. I fell asleep, for once content with the whole world.

I'm not sure why the memory of our first time together decided to hit me at that moment. Maybe it was trying to tell me something?

It felt as if a light bulb went off in my head as I suddenly got it. She was the only one for me. She trusted me, and I couldn't let her down. And, just like that night, I couldn't let her go.

I love her too much to give up now.

I have finally made my desicion.

Notes

Dundundun. Only six more chapters left!!

And, boy, do I have a lot for you!

The reason I didn't go much in depth with the sex scene is because I had made this rated r. Now my other story is rated NC-17 for a reason.

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoying writing it!
