Free David: Sophomore Year (Three Daves #1) by Nicki Elson

technique later.”
    “Okay.” David gently drew his fingers down the side of her face and locked his dark eyes on hers. His lips twisted into a soft smile. “You’re a very strange girl, but I’m glad you’re talking to me again.”
    Jen smiled at the affection in his tone. His voice rolled over her like a warm blanket and put her more at ease. He pressed his mouth to hers again, and her lips were softer, but the kiss still felt awkward. They moved on to undressing, which Jen did as swiftly as possible and then dove under David’s blanket to avoid the embarrassment of standing naked in front of him.
    David soon joined her and was persistent in his kisses, covering her mouth in a series of tender pecks until it all felt very natural. Jen closed her eyes and lifted her face to his. David pressed her head down into the pillow, and their mouths opened in a real kiss. Jen tried not to think about the last time they’d kissed. She tried not to think about the first time, either.
    Soon, she was only thinking about David’s hands as they began to wander, massaging her breasts, playing with her tender nipples, and then moving farther down. This was all stuff she’d done before with other guys. His touch was confident and stimulating, but Jen was nervous about what was coming next. Her body stiffened. The logical part of her brain fought with her natural instincts. Relax, enjoy, relax, enjoy!
    David’s slender fingers began to gently probe inside of her, sending her internal struggle into a rage. Only one other guy had ever had his fingers in her. She’d been super drunk when it had happened. David’s hand stopped, and he broke the kiss, lifting his face away from Jen’s. He shifted his weight off of her and leaned to the side on an elbow while he leveled a serious, penetrating gaze at her. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
    Now that Jen was here, she wasn’t at all sure. It had made so much sense when it was just an idea. She hadn’t realized the stars would align so neatly or so quickly. Could she really sleep with someone she wasn’t in love with? Someone she wasn’t even dating? But that was the whole point—gain experience with someone non-threatening so she could revert back to her virginity and store the experience in a vault to be retrieved when the right guy finally came along.
    “I’m sure,” Jen said, pulling David back down on top of her. He didn’t kiss her and didn’t look at all convinced. “Please.” If she didn’t go through with this now—right now—she never would.
    David nodded his acquiescence and kissed tenderly down her throat and around her breasts until her body again relaxed. He sucked at the base of her neck and returned to his probing. Jen ran her fingers up and down the muscles of his smooth, bare back, indicating that all was good. She was ready. Without fanfare, David pushed himself into her. Jen let out a small cry with the first shock of pain. She bit her lip and turned her head to the side so he wouldn’t see her tensed expression.
    His mouth again locked onto her throat, and he groaned. Jen was glad that at least he was enjoying it. It didn’t hurt anymore for her, but it didn’t exactly feel great, either. While David panted and pumped, her mind became consumed with nature videos of animals mating in the wild. He was acting out his animal instincts right on top of her, but somehow Jen felt separated from it. She didn’t lose herself in carnal pleasure the way David did. His groans continued, and his breathing grew thicker. His thrusts became more urgent until he arched his back, his chest lifting off of Jen as he gave a final push inside her. Then it was over.
    He exhaled heavy gusts onto Jen’s face as he caught his breath. She lay very still, unsure of what came next. He pressed a quick kiss onto her mouth and then hopped off the bed to dispose of his prophylactic. He looked down at himself and then at Jen. “There’s a little bit of blood. Are you
