Free Mail Order Mama (Brides of Beckham Book 2) by Kirsten Osbourne

mother had said she needed to lie still beneath him and it would be over soon, but she didn’t want to lie still.  She wanted him to get off of her, and pull it out.  “You’re hurting me!”  Her voice didn’t sound like her own.  It was breathless and held just a hint of a whimper.  “Please stop!”
    Benjamin groaned, forcing his body to remain still inside hers.  “I’m sorry.”  He dropped a kiss to her lips, trying to help her find the passion again.  He knew he wouldn’t be able to remain still for long.
    She kept pushing at his shoulders.  She wanted to tell him to get off her, but she couldn’t bring herself to be quite that rude.  She lay under him instead, taking panting breaths, hoping he’d just stop and forget about doing this.
    He stroked her cheek.  “You’re so beautiful.  Do you have any idea how much pleasure you’re bringing me?”  He was determined to calm her and finish.  There was no way he could pull out now, and he wasn’t sure how long he could remain still.
    “Really?”
    “Really.  Being inside you feels so good to me.  I want to move inside you.”
    “Why?”  She knew the question would show how little she knew about what they were doing, but she didn’t care.  He needed to understand she had to know what was happening to her.
    He swallowed hard, trying to keep in mind how innocent she was.  “Do you remember how good my fingers felt when they were moving in and out of you?”
    “We shouldn’t talk about that!”  How could he bring that up now?
    “Yes, we should.  It felt really good, didn’t it?”  She nodded slightly, feeling the blush creep up her neck to her face.  “Well, that’s how this is going to feel, only better.  You just have to get used to it.”
    “But it hurts!” she protested.  How could he want her to let him do something that hurt her this way?  Didn’t he care that she was in pain?
    “Does it still hurt?”
    She took stock before answering him.  “Not nearly as much.”
    “Good.”  He brought his hips back quickly and plunged back inside her.  Her breath caught as she let out a slight squeal.  “Did it hurt that time?”
    “No.  It felt…strange.”
    “For now, I’ll settle for not hurting you.”  He kissed her quickly nipping her bottom lip.  “Get ready for strange.”  He kept his movement slow and gentle as he moved in and out of her tight passage.  It was obvious to him it didn’t feel as good to her as his fingers had, but she was no longer protesting his movements.  It had been so long since he’d been with a woman that he didn’t last long.  After a moment, he cried out and collapsed onto his elbows atop her.  His breathing was harsh as he buried his face in her neck.
    Emily lay beneath him running her hands up and down his back.  She was glad she’d pleased him, even if she’d felt the act was lacking somehow.  Her mother had promised her it would get better with time, and she hoped her mother was correct about that.  Still, it hadn’t been so bad she wouldn’t be willing to do it with him again if he ever wanted to.  She couldn’t help but wonder how often he’d want to do it, though.  Maybe once a month?  Or less often?  Her brow furrowed.  She could handle it that often if he needed it.
    After a moment, he rolled to his side, and reached down to drag the covers over both of them.  They were hot now, but once the sweat on their bodies cooled, they’d be shivering in the cold.  He lay facing her, not sure what to say now that it was over.  What did one say to a wife he’d just met a few hours before after taking her virginity?
    She rolled to her side away from him, snuggling into the blanket.  She’d had so little sleep since his letter had arrived.  Now that she was here, and the pressure was off, she fell asleep.
    Benjamin was still trying to figure out what he should say to her when he realized she’d fallen asleep.  Maybe flowery words weren’t necessary
