I think I was ready to lose my virginity.
I knew it sounded crazy because Cade and I hadn’t been together for that long, but I just felt ready. Every time we’re together, all I wanted to do was take things further. And he drives my body insane with the way he touches me.
While I felt ready, I also felt incredibly nervous about it. What if I wasn’t good or he didn’t enjoy it? I mean, so far Cade had enjoyed everything we’d done, but I was still nervous. I didn’t know a lot about s*x so, of course, I went to talk to a person who knows more about s*x than anyone else that I know.
Joey.
It’s actually kind of hard to get her alone. Since getting sent to Director Magnus’s office, she’s always with Marsen now. The only time I saw them apart was in classes and Joey seemed really uneasy about that. It’s like she’s restless without him. I wonder if that’s just what love was?
After begging her I finally got her alone. Again she seemed on edge, but also attentive. As always she was there when I needed her.
“You didn’t want Zoey here for this?” Joey asked.
“Not really. All she talks about is Tate lately and you know way more about this subject.” I informed her.
“Okay, go on.”
“I think I want to have s*x with Cade.”
Joey’s eyes widened with excitement. “I’ve been waiting for this day!” She exclaimed. “Okay, ask me anything please!”
“Um…” I wasn’t sure where to start.
“Or I can ask you. Have you guys done anything?”
I nodded. “We’ve done…hand things on each other to the point of…orgasming.”
“Okay but nothing oral?”
“No,but I want to get there and even further. I can tell. My body...there’s just so many s****l feelings going on in me that I’ve never experienced before and I have no idea what to do about it. It’s like s*x is the only option to calm all of this down. It’s overwhelming!”
“Calm down, Chloey.” She laughed slightly. “Look s*x is...well it’s easy, but it’s also really complicated when you first start out. It’s gonna be weird and awkward, but once you get comfortable with it, it’s amazing.”
“So your first time was awkward?” I asked.
“Oh completely! I mean I didn’t really know what I was doing, neither did he. It was kind of a mess, but I don’t really regret it.”
“Was your first time with Marsden awkward?”
Joey smiled. “It was beautiful. It was the first time anything had felt like more than s*x. We made love.”
“Will Cade and I?” I questioned.
“Do you love him?”
“No...not yet. But I know I can get there pretty easily. He makes me feel so good and he adores me. I never thought I’d have that.”
“That’s not the reason you want to do this right? Not just because you feel like he’s the only boy who will ever look at you the way he does. I don’t want you to settle Chloey. You deserve the best, really. Out of all of us you deserve happiness.”
“You and Zoey do too.”
“Well of course we do. But Chloey...you’re so good. Just completely and totally good. You put everyone ahead of yourself and you’re always there for us and you’ve never been bitter or mean or jealous and you put up with a lot of my wild s**t. You are the best.”
I smiled at her. That meant the most coming from her. I looked up to Joey so much and I loved her dearly. And of course I loved Zoey a lot too, but I think my bond with Joey was different. I think because we’re so opposite. We’re like each other’s missing pieces. Zoey was the glue that held all that together.
“Thanks Joey. But no, I'm not settling. I like Cade so much and this is something I want to do with him. He’s a virgin too, so I feel like that’s going to make it all the more special.”
“Really a virgin? But he’s so hot!”
“I know right.” I giggled. “I still can’t believe it.”
“Well, just take it at your own pace. You have time, you don’t have to do anything right away, unless you want to. And tell Cade if he pressures you, Marsden’s family will handle him.”
“Are they strange?”
“They’re a little haunted,”
“Are you in any trouble?” I blurted out. “Are you and Marsden in danger?”
“Everything is under control.” Joey assured me. “Marsden is going through a really hard time with his family. But we have each other, so we’ll be okay.”
“You’ll tell me if something is wrong right?”
“You don’t like Marsden either?”
“No, I do really! He does actually seem like a decent enough guy, you’ve just been kinda different lately. I mean I had to jump through hoops to get you alone. I just worry about you.”
“I’m okay, really. But if that changes, I’ll let you know, I swear.” Joey said.
“Okay. I trust you.””
“Good. Now always remember to be safe. That’s also very important. And don’t give if you’re not getting. And most of all, don’t overthink it. It’ll happen the way it’s meant to happen.”
“Thank you.” I hugged her. “I can always count on you Joey.”
“I’ll always be here for you.”

I thought a lot about what Joey and I talked about. I definitely felt better and more informed about s*x after that. Joey also said that I should talk it all through with Cade no matter how awkward it would feel. But communication is key.
“I think we should have sex.” I said.
Cade dropped his fork and coughed. I think something was stuck in his throat. Zander slapped him on the back a few times.
“You good man?”
“Fine.” Cade insisted before turning back to me. “Is now the time to discuss this?”
Maybe lunch was not the time to bring up s*x, but it really just fell out of my mouth in the moment.
“Okay, we don’t have to talk about us having s*x then.” I shrugged.
“No, let's!” He whispered. “I’ve been thinking the same thing. I mean I’m ready if you are.”
“I think I am. I want to be with you, Cade. I’m ready.”
“So when is this happening? Now? Tonight? Tomorrow?”
I laughed. “Calm down. Let’s do it Friday night.”
“Friday night.” He grinned. “I can wait two days. Wow, I’m kind of nervous.”
“Me too. But definitely ready.”
“So am I.”

Rune and I were friends again even though he hadn't dumped Lavina like he said he would. I tried to tell myself that I didn’t care that they’re together, but it still bothers me a little bit. He said she was annoying, so why would he still want to be with her? Whatever. It’s not my business.
“So things with Cade are still good?” Rune asked.
“Why do you ask me that every day?”
“I’m curious about your life because you’re my friend. I want to make sure everything is going well and you know...he’s treating you right and stuff.”
“He is. Cade is very good to me. We’re even becoming more serious.” I left it at that because even though I wanted to see his face if I told him that, I still didn’t want him knowing the details of mine and Cade’s relationship.
“That’s good I guess.”
“You really don’t like him huh?” I asked.
“It’s not that, it’s just...you two seem so different. I don’t get it.”
“Yeah, I definitely never saw myself with him at first, but you get to know someone a little better and they surprise you. Sometimes it’s bad, but sometimes it ends up being good.”
“But Cade Pickerin?” Rune made a face causing me to giggle, even though it shouldn’t.
“He’s really not that bad, I promise. He’s sweet.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
“Well maybe you’d see it if you weren’t so mean to him.” I pointed out.
“I’ll be nicer, but only for you.” He grinned.
“Why thank you. I appreciate that.”
“Anything for you.”
We were silent for a moment.
“Can I tell you something, Chloey?” He asked. I nodded. “I regret not going on that date with you.”
“Oh. Um, it’s okay.”
“It’s not. I made a huge mistake and I wish I could take it back. I wish things were different.”
“Different how?” I breathed.
“That I wasn’t with her...and you weren’t with him.”
“So who would we be with then?” Was I imagining it or had Rune gotten closer to me?
“I think you know.” Rune whispered.
“I know I’m smart but I can be kind of dumb, I need this one spelled out for me.”
“Chloey there you are!” Ember exclaimed, taking Rune and I out of whatever moment we were in. “We need to discuss the lack of virginity you’ll be having after Friday. Oh s**t. Hi Rune.”
I looked at her with wide eyes.
Rune nodded. “So that’s what you mean by getting serious.”
“Well-I mean…”
“You really don’t have to explain yourself to me. I’m not your boyfriend right?” He gathered up his things.
“Where are you going?” I asked.
“To go get serious with Lavina . I’m already running late. See you around I guess.”
It didn’t take a genius to know that Rune was pretty furious with me at the moment, which felt a little unfair. He was right. He’s not my boyfriend, and he didn’t have any kind of intention of being my boyfriend until he saw me with someone else. He’s a total hypocrite.
Ember winced. “That was my fault, wasn’t it?”
--
Oh this was too intense! I was so nervous!
I felt Cade’s lips trace down my body as he pulled my underwear off. This was the most naked I’d ever been around him. My eyes rolled back as I felt his tongue gently touch my center.
This felt even better than his fingers. Cade’s tongue swirled in a circle, sending stirrings through my body. I twitched and squirmed before Cade held my hips down and pushed his face in harder, as his tongue moved faster.
I gasped as his finger pushed inside of me, moving in and out swiftly. My back lifted off the bed as I moaned, loudly, unable to control myself. The pleasure was over taking my entire body, it was almost overwhelming.
“Cade!” I whimpered, as my hips bucked, desperate to reach my orgasm.
Cade moaned into me, the speed of his tongue and his finger increasing as I felt the pull in my stomach. I nearly screamed as I hit my climax. I didn’t even recognize my own high pitched voice dripping with desire.
Cade licked his finger before laying down next to me.
“So now do I…do it to you?” I whispered.
He nodded, lustfully. “I’ll walk you through it baby,”
I took a breath as Cade removed his briefs. I was now used to seeing his p***s. I gently grabbed him before guiding him into my mouth. Cade whimpered as his hands went in my hair. He gently pushed my head down and pulled it back up.
I think Cade was doing most of the work on this, but he was really enjoying it. He was moaning and thrusting up into my mouth. “Chloey…fuck!”
I decided to take some more initiative. I gripped his shaft and moved my hand up and down the way he liked it. He groaned loudly and shuddered before pulling my head back. I was confused seeing as Cade really liked to have orgasms.
He beckoned for me to move up. I crawled on top of him and kissed him. I could feel myself shaking.
“You okay?” He whispered. "Are you nervous?"
“A little.” I admitted. I loved that I didn’t have to lie to him at all. I could always be honest with him and he’s always honest with me.
“It’s okay.” Cade smiled. “I’m gonna make sure this is good for you. Just trust me, hmm?”
“I do.”
Cade kissed me again, rolling on top of me. I winced as he eased himself inside of me. Somehow it was both pleasurable and painful. For Cade it all seemed to be pleasure and bliss. He moved in and out of me slowly, but I could tell he was dying to go faster.
Finally the pain subsided, and complete and total pleasure overcame me. Cade pressed his chest against mine as I wrapped my arms around his strong back.
“You can go faster,” I breathed.
Cade didn’t waste a second. He thrusted into me quickly, groaning loudly. Our moans synced up, filling the entire room with sounds of pleasure and lust.
Cade’s rolling hips slowed down as he hooked his hand under my knee and pushed deeper inside of me. It felt incredible! I didn’t know it was possible to feel so desired.
I reached up and kissed Cade, our moans mixing in each other’s mouths. I think we were falling in love for real. I finally understood the all consuming feeling that Joey felt for Marsden. I felt like Cade was my entire world.
His head fell next to mine, with his mouth next to my ear. “Chloey, you’re perfect.”
“You feel so good,” I whimpered.
He kissed my neck wildly as his pace picked up again. I cried out as he sucked on my neck, this was all too much! Would s*x always be this incredible?
“Chloey…I’m close…”
Before I knew it Cade was panting and groaning the way he always did when he reached his orgasm. He stayed on top of me breathing heavily. I gasped for air, not realizing this would take so much out of me.
“Would it be completely corny if I told you I love you right now?” Cade asked, stroking my hair.
“Yes.” I laughed. “You don’t know me well enough.”
“I feel like I know everything about you now, Chloey. I’ve never felt closer to anyone in my life.”
“Other than my sisters I feel the same way. But I don’t think I’m ready for love, but I’m definitely on my way.”
“That’s okay babe. We’ll get there when we do. Did you at least enjoy s*x?”
“I did.” I grinned. “It was amazing. Did you?”
“Oh of course. You, my dear were amazing.” Cade said sincerely. “Now that your first time has happened, let’s get your second time over and done too.”
