“You’re doing beautifully for me,” Demetrius said, his tone firm but layered with a heavy, protective warmth. “But you’re terrified, and I will not have it. What has frightened you so deeply?”
Elian sniffled but met his gaze, unflinching. “I—” He choked on his tongue, coughing. “I… just n-never kissed anyone before. Never mind what was about to happen. I’m s-sorry. I freaked out.”
A deep, ancient possessiveness flared within his chest as his thumb cleared the tear track.
“Look at me,” he commanded softly, waiting until Elian’s watery gaze locked onto his again. “Never apologize to me for your honesty, my Linnet. You trusted me enough to tell me the truth when you were drowning in fear.”
He shifted Elian more securely onto his lap, wrapping a heavy blanket around his bare shoulders. He leaned down, pressing his forehead gently against Elian’s.
“You think you have disappointed your Master?” Demetrius murmured, his voice a low, soothing rumble. “You haven’t. Knowing that your body and your heart are entirely untouched only makes you more sacred. If you have never been kissed, then we stop right here.”
He trailed his fingers down Elian’s jawline, tilting his face up just a fraction higher.
“Tonight, we are going to learn how you like to be held. And if you will allow me... I would be honored to show you what a first kiss is supposed to feel like.”
