"A Touch of Jade" Later that same night, Jade lay restlessly awake in bed. She was a bit anxious, unable to fall back to sleep. Arising out of the bed, she then decided to go downstairs for a cool drink. When she stepped out the room, she noticed a faint light illuminating from the door at the end of the hallway. Curiously, she walked toward the door. Softly tapping on it, she waited for a response, but there was none. Entering the spacious bedroom, she inquisitively glanced around the room. Airily, she tiptoed closer to the massive, brass bed where DeMarques laid motionless, breathing softly. “He sleeps.” Jade softly whispered aloud, leaning closer to make sure. “Princess.” DeMarques tenderly spoke. Slipping his arms around her, he pulled her down into the bed with him. “Ohmigosh!” Jade screamed, as DeMarques dragged her down atop of him. Violently shaking, she took several deep breaths to calm herself. “You scared the crap out of me.” “Sorry.” he apologized. Rolling onto his side, he still held her in his arms. “Is there something wrong Jade?’ “No.” Jade nervously croaked out. “Everything is fine.” He brushed a strand of hair away from Jade’s face, then softly asked, “Jade why were you creeping into my room?” “I wasn’t creeping into your room.” she answered, pulling away from him. Tentatively, she glimpsed into his face, shyly admitted, “I couldn’t sleep with all that terrible weather occurring outside.” A boisterous clap of thunder sounded, causing Jade to flinch apprehensively. “Lord, I hate thunderstorms!” she shrieked, throwing her arms around DeMarques. Snuggling closer to him, she buried her face into his chest. “Just hold me please.” Sweetly smiling at her, DeMarques tightening his hold on her, enveloping her in a soothing embrace. “Relax princess. You are safe with me. It’s only thunder and a little bit of rain. Everything is going to be alright.” He began to gently knead the nape of Jade’s neck. He yawned deeply then softly crooned to her. “Go to sleep Jade. Tomorrow will be a better day.” He placed a soft kiss on her forehead, as he continued to languidly massage her neck and back, Feeling DeMarques now-engorged arousal pressed against her belly, Jade nervously gulped, “I, uh, I think I should be going back to my room now. I’ll see you in the morning.” Lifting up out of his grip, Jade began to slide out of the bed. Grasping her wrist, DeMarques halted her from retreating. “Wait. Please don’t go.” he pleaded. “Stay with me tonight Jade. Allow me the joy of waking up tomorrow morning with you still in my arms. Spend this night with me Jade, please.” Eyeing him warily, Jade fidgeted stammered, “I-I can’t DeMarques. I don’t think we’re ready for this.” Cupping her face between his large palms, he lovingly peered into her eyes and whispered, “Please princess. Spend the night with me. I just want to hold you, nothing more.” Sitting up next to her, DeMarques then began to expertly knead her neck and shoulders in a caressing manner. Melting under his exquisite touch, Jade purred contentedly as DeMarques captured her mouth in a hungry kiss . “DeMarques…wait! I can’t do this.” she hoarsely groaned into his mouth. “I have to go.” “Why?” he prompted, still nipping at the corner of her mouth. “I’m afraid to stay here with you.” she nervously admitted. “Afraid.” he mumbled to himself. “What are you afraid of?” he questioned. Pulling away from her, DeMarques searched her face for the answer. Jade remained speechless for a brief moment, then quickly blurted out, “I’m afraid of…THIS!” With a quizzical look on his face, DeMarques interrogated her, “What? I know you are a novice when it comes to intimacy. However, I didn’t think kissing you would rattle you so much.” Analyzing her reactions, he continued by asking, “Are you afraid of kissing me?” “No.” she moaned, avoiding eye contact with him. Circling his arms around her, he pulled Jade closer to him. “Then what is it?” he asked. “Are you afraid of being alone in my bedroom with me?” Yes! Her mind screamed. Nodding her head disapprovingly, she timidly replied, “No. I’m, uh, I’m not afraid of you. I’m afraid of me.” DeMarques tossed a glance back at her, gazing intently at Jade with a hint of confusion on his face. He persistently gazed at her, but stood silent for a while. “Explain what mean Jade.” he urged. “DeMarques, don’t you understand. I’m afraid to stay here. Because if I do, I won’t be able to stop myself from…” she shrieked, trailing off to complete silence. Flustered, Jade bowed her head and blew out, “I have to go. It’s getting late.” Holding on to her still, DeMarques leaned closer to her ear, seductively whispering, “Don’t even attempt to try running away from me now.” His words caused a bolt of liquid heat to stir in her, as a fierce shudder rocked her body. “Princess, I’m not about to let go of you, until you tell me what you are afraid might happen between us.” he growled, slowly running his warm tongue down her ear. A wry smile appeared on his face as he sensed Jade’s enjoyment of the sensual onslaught he was providing her. Contented as a kitten, Jade breathlessly sighed, “Oh DeMarques!” then blew out a shallow intake of air. “C’mon princess. Say it for me.” he urged, gently nipping her neck. “DeMarques, I can’t!” she excitedly giggled. She sharply exhaled a constricted breath, when DeMarques began to place feathery kisses across her shoulders. “Oooh, DeMarques don’t.” she mewled. Leaning against the pillows in a seated position, DeMarques gently coaxed Jade back against him. “Relax, okay princess.” He ordered, as his warm hands slipped beneath her night shirt. In a playful caressing gesture, he gently tweaked and teased her nipples, causing them to pucker in response. “Sweet heavens!” Jade grounded out through clenched teeth. DeMarques continued his glorious attempt of captivating her senses. Jade’s body reeled from the scorching touches of DeMarques’ groping hands and searing mouth. Lowering his hands beneath the waistband of her lacy panty, DeMarques began combing his fingers through the silky mound between Jade’s slim thighs. Jade purred in sweet delight, as he reiterated, “C’mon princess. Say it. Tell me what you are afraid of.” Slowly, he moved his fingers lower, teasing her delicate love bud. Wildly bucking her hips, Jade gutturally cried out, “Oh…my…goodness! DeMarques wait! I can’t stand this anymore. Please…” She continued to erratically thrash about , trying to escape his sweet torture. Boldly grinning, DeMarques persevered to tease her. “C’mon Jade. Tell me what you’re afraid might happen between us.” he commanded in an amused tone. Placing minute kisses on her neck, he murmured, “C’mon babygirl. Answer my question. I’m curiously awaiting your response.” Jade continued to pleasurably moan, as her body twitched uncontrollably. “Sweet heavens.” she croaked out, as the waves of desire crested in her fiery core. Inserting a nimble finger into Jade’s wet, clasping sheath, DeMarques groaned; feeling her muscles squeeze his finger. “Damn, she’s tight!” he mentally quoted, before sliding in another finger. A slight tinge of pain and pressure emanated in Jade’s womanhood, causing her to release a panic-stricken cry. “DeMarques…wait…NO!” she shrieked out in an alarmed tone. Stiffening in his hold, her body became rigid with apprehension. Sensing Jade’s anxiety, DeMarques quickly withdrew his fingers from within her. He then tightly held Jade’s now-trembling body against him in a soothing attempt to calm her. “Jade, did I hurt you sweetheart?” he worriedly questioned, with a pang of fright in his eyes. Slowly rocking back and forth with her, he softly crooned, “Baby I’m sorry. Did I hurt you?” Negatively shaking her head, Jade released an unsteady breath and hoarsely replied, “No. I was experiencing an unfamiliar discomfort, and I guess I freaked out.” Becoming embarrassed by her reaction, Jade bowed her head in shame. “I guess I’ve humiliated myself enough for tonight. I’ll return to my bed now. Good night DeMarques.” she uttered, trying to free herself from his encompassing grip. DeMarques tighten his arms, preventing her hasty retreat. Slithering down to a lying position, DeMarques continued to hold on to Jade. Rolling her over to face him, he tipped her chin up and intently gaze into her eyes. “Don’t ever be embarrass with me or any other man for your lack of sexual experience. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Do you hear what I’m saying?” he sternly stated. Jade consentingly bobbed her head, but remained quiet. Burying her face into his bare chest, Jade stood quiet as many thoughts raced across her mind. Lazily stroking her back, DeMarques compassionately expressed, “Baby, I don’t want you to do anything you’re not ready for or comfortable with. So there’s no reason for you to feel embarrassed, okay.” Cupping her chin between his palms, he lightly pecked her on the lips saying, “Are we straight on that theory?” A wry smile appeared on his face as he tried to lighten the mood between them. “Yeah. We’re straight.” she shyly answered. “Good.” he assented. Kissing her forehead, DeMarques smiled and announced, “Ms…I mean Dr. Jade Taylor, you are a rare jewel. You’re one of a kind. And I do mean that as the highest of compliments.” “Thanks.” she graciously answered, snuggling closer to him. Several minutes of silence passed between them, before Jade spoke again. “Can I ask you a question…or two?” “Ask away sweetheart.” he prompted. “What bit of eternal wisdom you wish to acquire from a wise brotha like myself?” he mused, chuckling softly when Jade playfully pinched him. Sighing deeply, Jade nervously giggled, then admitted, I know I’m naïve. And I may even sound a tad bit ignorant for asking this. But why did you insert your fingers inside of my, uh…” a slight coloring appeared on her cheeks, as she blushed, “well you know where. Is that some kind of new erotic technique used to heighten the sexual mood.” Giggling again, she rested her head against his muscular chest. Grinning broadly at her innocence, DeMarques rolled Jade onto her back, to gaze amorously down into her face. “You know what Jade? Until a minute ago, I hadn’t realized how inexperienced and naïve you really are when it comes to sex and intimacy.” he laughed. Jade shot him a warning look, he then remarked, “That was a compliment, honey.” “Whatever DeMarques.” she grunted. “It’s not as if I don’t know anything about sex. I’ve read books and articles on that subject. Plus, I’ve sat back and quietly listened to my sisters, Kelly, and my other girlfriends talk about the different sexual experiences they have engaged in. So I think I know the basic stuff.” Jade saucily told him. “Like what?” DeMarques prompted, eyeing her with curiosity. Rolling her eyes upward, shyly responding, “Well, I do know the differences in the male and female reproductive organs and genital parts.” Wickedly smiling at her, DeMarques seductively asked, “But do you know how they work when they’re fitted together properly? If not, I’ll be more than happy to personally show you.” A heated flush crept up into her face, as a huge lump formed in her now-parched throat. “D-DeMarques! I swear you say the most frank comments at times.” she flustered. “But to answer your question, yes, I do know how they work. And thanks, but I’ll pass on your offer.” she croaked, burying her face in his chest. Chuckling heartily, he replied, “Alright then, suit yourself. Anyway, let’s get back to the question you asked earlier.” In a more serious tone, he stated, “The reason I inserted my fingers inside of you, was to check your degree of readiness. Also, I was hoping to coax you into releasing that lil’ cute, sexy laugh you do when you reach your orgasmic peak.” “Oh!” Jade softly blew out. “Do you think you’ll fit inside of me though? Because I’ve been warned by my female confidants, that if the male is too uh,” she gulped, “well- endowed, it can be quite painful. And I’m not a person who’s susceptible to a lot of pain and discomfort.” she openly admitted. A sweep of honey brown lashes veiled the spark of apprehension culminating in her dazzling, hazel eyes. Staring at her for a minute, DeMarques smiled, tenderly proclaimed, “True. It can be a painful experience. However, so is getting a vaccination shot. It all depends on the initial insertion, how comfortable the rest of the process will be.” He gently kissed Jade on the forehead, in an attempt to relax her. Opening her eyes, Jade shyly glanced up into his face remarking, “I hope you’re right. Because I shudder just thinking about the pain I’ve heard occurs when losing your virginity.” Remaining speechless, DeMarques mentally rummaged through his mind in search of the right words to say. Gathering up his thoughts, he huskily announced, “Jade, don’t worry honey. When the time is right for us, I’ll do my absolute best to ensure that your first time will be as comfortable and as painless as I possibly can.” Feeling his arousal straining against the silky material of his boxers, he growled, “I’ll make us fit together perfectly, too! I can promise you that, Jade.” The throbbing sensation of DeMarques’ bulge, excited Jade in places she hadn’t known existed. With an exhilarated rush spiraling down into her core, she slowly began to squirm beneath him, “Do you think the time is right,” she coyly questioned, pausing for a brief intermission, “…now!” Yes indeed! His mind hollered, as his loins tightened with anticipation. Inhaling a steady breath, he coolly answered, “Nope. I want us to make our first time together memorable and special.” Lowering his head, DeMarques started to lazily trace his tongue across her bottom lip. “Besides, you’re not ready yet anyway.” “How do you know I’m not ready yet?” she flirtatiously challenged. Sliding a hand between Jade’s welcoming thighs, DeMarques began stroking against the crotch of her lacy panty. Jade gasped loudly, reeling from the glorious sensations his flickering thumb was causing. A mischievous gleam twinkled in his eyes as he told her, “See, you’re not ready yet. You’re too anxious and wound up to truly savor every excruciatingly pleasurable second of me making love to you. Relax, It’ll happen…in due time.” Rolling off her, DeMarques stretched out on the pillows beside Jade. Lightly pecking her on the cheek, he yawned, “Good night princess. Sleep well.” Yeah right. If I’m lucky, I might fall asleep by morning. She thought, willing her body to calm. Electrifying surges of liquid heat flowed through her veins, as erotic images of DeMarques danced across her mind. “You are quite a remarkable specimen, DeMarques Clayton.” Jade admitted a few minutes later, thinking he had fallen asleep. “I know. Ain’t I though?” he smugly muttered in a craggy voice, before lolling off to sleep again. Giggling at DeMarques’ unexpected response, Jade cuddled closer to him, drifting off into a peaceful slumber.
