The little red numbers on my digital clock spelled out 12:30. Calling Crystal this late was probably a bad idea, but I needed to tell someone, quick. To my surprise, she picked up her phone after two rings.

"What's the story, morning glory?" She always did this when I called her late.

"You will never guess what I just did."

I could almost hear Crystal smirking. "You sound slightly dazed. Pray tell, what did you just do?"

"I... just had sex with Felix. For the first time."

A shrill AIIIIIIIIIII!! came from the other end of the line, so I had to hold my phone away from my ear. Once she was finished, I brought her back so I could hear her talking at about a hundred miles a second.

"Oh my God, Marie, what was it like? Was it really awkward? Did you use protection? Swear to God, if you didn't use protection..." Crystal began to rant. I sighed and shushed her.

"Be quiet a moment. It was... wow..."

"What happened?"

"Well, he..."

-FLASHBACK-

I stepped over the threshold of his door, out of the blizzard that was raging around outside. Going to visit him in this weather was probably a bad idea on my part, but hey, I wanted to see my man. He welcomed me inside to the warmth of his living room, offering me a mug of hot cocoa.

"Thanks, love."

"Have a seat," he motioned at the sofa that sat in front of a raging fire in the fireplace. I obliged, and he joined me. The two of us cuddled for a while, carrying on a conversation. Drank some more hot cocoa. Laughed a lot. Kissed a lot more. Welcome to my dates at Felix's.

I lay across him, my head in his lap. He sat there, stroking my hair and gazing into the fire. I looked up and watched the reflections of flames dance around in his eyes. God, I love those eyes.

He leaned down to kiss me; I sensed something behind it. Something that hadn't really been there before.

Desire.

I sat up so that I was sitting on his lap, my lips rarely leaving his. My eyes closed as he wrapped his arms around me, one surrounding my waist and the other coming up to play with the hair in the back of my head. My hands rested on his chest, playing with the fabric of his shirt and tracing my fingers along the contours of the defined muscles there. With a sudden movement, I was in his arms; he somehow carried me into his adjoining bedroom and lay me down on the bed.

"Marie..."

"Make love to me." It was a request, not a demand. I don't really know what made me say it.

"Seriously?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" I laughed slightly. He smiled, then the next moment, his shirt was on the floor, and he was lifting mine over my head. With a swift movement he reached behind my back to rid me of my bra. Soon that was on the floor too. His warm hands traced up the cool skin of my hips, to my waist, to my exposed breasts. As soon as he touched them, he stopped suddenly.

"Felix?"

"You'd rather have ... mouth on you than my hands."

I don't know how he knew it, didn't even know that I thought that way, but he was right. I did want his mouth on me.

He kissed my lips once, twice, three times, then his mouth dragged down my chin, stopping periodically along my neck to leave his mark. He bit each spot he came to very gently before moving to the next expanse of skin; each nip elicited a small moan from the back of my throat.

When he reached my breasts, he knew I knew what he had intended for this date night. He came to my breasts, and immediately took one in his mouth, rubbing the other with this thumb. By this time, I was getting excited. I let him finish before standing up and facing him with what I hoped was a sultry look. Deliberately, I undid my jeans and slid them and my panties down my slender legs. I could almost feel the sexual tension in the room rise. Slowly, I undid the button in his jeans as well, and left him just in his boxers. At this point, Felix stood up, grabbed me around the waist, and lifted me into a kiss that allowed me to wrap my legs around his waist, rubbing myself against his stomach.

The momentum of the kiss spun us around, and he lay me down on the bed before pressing his weight into me.

"I love you," he growled. I could hear the pleasure in his voice.

"Show me," I taunted.

He removed the boxers and smirked.

"Are you okay with this?"

"Hey, it's your first time too," I pointed out.

"True," he smiled.

"Can you please shut up and get in me now?" I smiled sweetly.

"Happy to oblige," he said with a grin.

I was lying on the bed with him standing on the floor at the edge. Tenderly, he took my extended legs and brought them apart. I reached up for his hand, hoping he would take it. He squeezed my palm lightly as I took him into me for the first time. I winced a little bit, getting used to the feeling. He squeezed my hand again as he drew partly out, then pushed in again. Each stroke felt less pinched and painful and more... wonderful. My head was tilted back on the bed, my body shifting slightly every time he moved into me again. I could tell from the soft groans Felix was making that he was enjoying this as much as I was.

His strokes became more and more hurried, going a little deeper each time. The melting sensation in my core became gradually more pronounced. Felix's other hand had traveled from my leg to find my clitoris, which he was rubbing in tempo with the speed of his thrusts.

"I love you," he gasped, and I felt him let go of himself. He slid in a few more times before withdrawing, but his fingers never left me.

"I...love you...too," I panted, hardly coherent or able to string words together. Not long after, my toes curled and I shuddered. He took the hand that had been loving me and brought it to his lips, kissing his fingers. He then leaned over my sweat-sheen body and planted a lingering kiss on my lips; in the kiss I could taste passion and fire and sex and love.

- END FLASHBACK -

There was silence on the other end as I finished explaining.

"That's...really hot..." Crystal confessed, somewhat embarrassed. I realized that I was blushing as I remembered him making love to me.

"Jeez, I know," I joked. "And it was only a few hours ago... but then I had to leave...stupid job..." I trailed off, grumbling.

"I'll make you a deal," Crystal said suddenly.

"Mmm? What's that?"

"I'll bet," she said, in her most challenging voice, "that when I have sex with Nathan, it will be twice as amazing and wild."

"You're on!" I laughed. Who cares who won? We would both get great sex.

"Should we tell them about this?"

"Nah," I could head her grinning though the phone. "We'll let them figure it out."

"All right. Well, like I said, stupid job, I need to be awake at seven tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep."

"Love you,"

"Goodnight, Crystal."
