For a moment, they stood there, comforting each other. Alice closed her eyes as she savored the warmth of his body…being with him like this…she always felt safe and secure.

"Yuri." She gasped in warning as his hand deliberately strayed on a more 'forbidden' place. She caught his wrist, just as he was a few inches away from the swell of her butt.

"Aw c'mon! Just a little familiarity between us can't hurt!" He protested, but his voice has turned quite husky.

"A-alright…but…but you have to stop when I ask you to."

"When have I never?" He countered, making Alice gasp as he explored the fullness of her butt.

"Cute…very cute." He murmured, obviously enjoying himself.

"Y-Yuri!" Alice gasped again as he squeezed her, sending heat and an unnamed sensation traveling through her spine.

"Hush woman!" He murmured before claiming her mouth with a kiss. Alice thought she should stop him now, his touch felt scandalous and yet…so deliciously alluring.

He's such a good kisser... Alice thought, so good…She felt her resolves slowly melting, felt herself slowly succumbing to the magic of his kiss, making her moan softly as he lightly sucked on her lower lip, unaware that she did so.

Yuri pulled back for a moment to look at her, sending a primitive thrill of response within her.

"I want you…" He said, his voice low and deep. "I want you, Alice…"

She felt her chest tighten as a knot of emotion filled her. She loved him…can she deny him anything? Can she?

Alice cried out softly as his hand closed over her breast, gently squeezing.

Despite the protest that formed at the tip of her tongue, her nipple puckered against his palm, silently telling him what he wanted to know.

"Y-Yuri…I—" Before she can say anymore, he slanted his mouth over hers, kissing her with such ferocity, with none of the gentle wooing he had shown before.

This time his kiss was completely untamed…wild, unchecked…and hungry. Heat suffused her cheeks as Yuri clasped her butt and pulled her close against his body, showing her, unashamedly rubbing her stomach against his arousal.

The wildness of his kiss made her dizzy, set her blood on fire, Alice could only cling to him as her knees gave in, no longer able to support her.

"Yuri…" She gasped as he lay her on the bed, on top of his coat. His scent rose from the material, and some fierce emotion seemed to squeeze her heart. I love him…how I love him so!

She knew where they were heading, where this kiss would eventually lead…but a quintessential, inner part of her responded to his primitive calling…a part of her she's finding harder and harder to deny.

Oh God, this is wrong! We mustn't!

But before she could voice her protest, he was kissing her again, stoking hunger and need, rousing the passion that lay dormant within her.

"S-stop!" She gasped as she pulled away from his drugging kisses. Breathless, she refused to look at him, knowing that to see his face now would only weaken her resolve. How many times have they reached this point before? Each time harder to deny him than the last? For despite what her mind would tell her, her body demands otherwise.

Silence followed, while Alice frantically thought of ways to defuse the situation. Her heart was beating mad, threatening to burst out of her chest, while an inner part of her screamed from unfulfilled needs.

But rather than release her as she'd expected, Yuri clamped his arm around her and buried his face against her neck. Alice whimpered as he squeezed her breast, sending ripples of forbidden pleasure coursing through her body.

"I can't!" He declared hoarsely, making her shudder as he ran his tongue, wet and warm against her throat.

He had come too close tonight in losing her…too damned close. The fear and anger mixed with all the pent up need he'd denied himself all these months, proved too much to handle.

With shaky fingers he reached for the fastenings of her dress, popping a button in his haste to undress her.

"Yuri! Yu—mphh!" He silenced her protest with his own mouth, while he swiftly worked on the buttons on her front.

Releasing only the top two rows of buttons, he tugged the dress down to her stomach, without bothering to free her arms from the sleeves first. The partially buttoned bodice bound her elbows to her sides, limiting her movement, increasing the sense of helplessness, of vulnerability, that both frightened and thrilled her.

What is happening to me?

"Pretty…so, so pretty…" He said hoarsely as he gazed at her partial nudity.

"No!" She cried, though her heart's not in it. Alice tried once more to summon resistance, yet found herself weakening with each kiss, with each sensual caress.

She turned her head in embarrassment as he tugged on her bra, slipping the material down to expose her breasts, heard the way he sucked in his breath as he looked at her nakedness.

With fascinated eyes, Yuri noted how the blush of her cheeks extended down to her chest, enhancing the delightful pink hues of her nipples. Nothing marred the creamy flesh, she was exquisitely beautiful, so delicately made. Slowly his hand followed the curve of her body, the dip in her waist, to the gentle flare of her hips. He felt the shudder that racked her, felt the heightened warmth of her skin gently radiate to his palm.

"Alice…" He whispered, desire had thickened his voice. She was so beautiful, so desirable and he longed for nothing more but to stake his claim—he began by flicking his tongue against one sensitive nipple, groaning in delight as she shuddered in response.

Her taste, her scent, the texture of her skin…everything about her drove him wild. It was a miracle he had waited this long, God help him, how he ached!

It was no less powerful for Alice, she wanted to be close to him, to be near him…and in that moment, she no longer cared for what is right or wrong.

I nearly died tonight…And no one can tell what tomorrow might bring…We face greater peril each day…

Is it wrong to take this chance while we still can?

I love him…too much…

And she'll probably regret it for the rest of her life…if something was to happen to either of them and she had denied him, denied herself just because of religious principles.

Alice felt her heart lurch in her chest as Yuri slipped his hand beneath her skirt. His touch burned her, made her tremble as he stroked the length of her leg, but she no longer resisted, nor did she even try to.

She bit her lip, blushing deeply as he tugged on the scrap of silk that was her underwear. She shuddered as he brushed his hand lightly over her, then molded the soft flesh between her legs with his palm.

She had never allowed him such liberty before, and the shock of his touch made her cry out, her body instinctively trying to dislodge his hand. But Yuri wasn't about to be deterred from his intent. With gleaming, passionate eyes, he slipped a finger between the soft folds, groaning in triumph as secret moisture greeted him, telling him more than words what he wanted to know.

He caged her sensually against the bed with his own body, the rough material of his pants rubbing against her inner thighs as he pried her legs apart with his knees…and with her bound arms at her sides…there was no escaping him.

He sought her clit, lightly stroking her with his thumb, smiling triumphantly as Alice squirmed, even as more sensual heat spilled into his hand.

A part of him cautioned that he was moving way too fast as he impatiently unbuttoned the fly of his pants…but he who was so used in getting his way, could no longer wait.

Alice whimpered as he parted the folds of her sex, spreading her open with his hand…then something hard and smooth probed against her, seeking entry.

"Yuri!" She gasped as he found what he sought, throbbing and warm against the tiny slit. He looked at her, held her gaze possessively as he stretched the small aperture with his own blunt flesh.

He forced her open, wide…wider still, pausing as he met the taut veil of her virginity. His eyes narrowed in response, while he smiled at her, so smug, so wickedly pleased that Alice could only suck her breath.

His sheer size frightened her, he felt too huge, too huge to contain…and for a brief moment she nearly panicked at the thought he might split her in two.

But nothing could stop him, not even Yuri himself, even if he had wanted to. He had wanted too much, waited too long…and with a hoarse cry, he broke through the barrier, his arms clasping her closer to him, gasping her name as her flesh clamped tightly around him, instinctively resisting him.

Alice clenched her teeth as he took her, stretching…probing…his possession of her stunningly thorough despite the urgency that ruled him.

"Ah!" She cried out as he bit the side of her neck, though she was more startled than hurt by his actions.

Yuri groaned and licked the bite mark he had inflicted, but he was not finished, far from it. Enslaved by his own lust and powerless to deny it, he could only hungrily rasp his teeth against her sensitive skin, biting, licking, seeking to mark her in every way he can.

Sucking her breath, Alice finally recognized the primitive instinct and ceased her struggles. She ached from his greedy, punishing mouth, from the hard, unyielding male flesh madly pumping between her legs…and yet, she couldn't find the will to deny him anything.

I just want to be near him…close to him…

She knew he would hurt her, knew that there was no escaping the pain.

I love him…I love…Yuri…Alice thought defiantly, biting her lip as Yuri sank deeper, splitting her apart.

She longed to wrap her arms around him, but they were bound to her sides, unmovable as ever. Instead, she could only grasp the sheets with her fists as Yuri rocked against her, inside her, grunting in animalistic sounds of pleasure and lust.

Mercifully, the throbbing pain began to recede to a mere dull ache, a tolerable discomfort.

She trembled as he suckled her breast, afraid for a moment that he'll bite her nipple next, sighing as he simply curled his tongue around the sensitive tip, teasing her with the rough texture of his tongue. The warmth of his mouth was simply…delicious, intoxicating.

He pulled back, urgently cupped the side of her face as he fiercely sought her lips. Wildly he pushed his way inside, seeking the soft warmth of her mouth, hungrily stroking her tongue with his.

Then a curious sensation began to tease her…there…in the secret place he possessed so consummately. But before she can follow where the curious feeling would lead, Yuri groaned against her lips, startling her as he climaxed with a forceful gush of warmth.

The fluid seeped through their joined flesh, thick and hot, easing away the lingering aches of her sex.

Their bodies slick with sweat, Yuri pulled back long enough to tug the blanket from the foot of the bed to cover her nakedness, before gathering her back into his arms. Alice tried to hold him, as much as her bound arms would permit.

She smiled as he pressed his lips against her forehead, and stayed there as the lovers waited for their hearts to slow down.

Yuri struggled to keep his eyes open, satiated and replete, yet he knew that accusing voices would soon come to condemn him.

"Alice?" He asked hesitantly, yet knowing he won't be at peace unless he hears the truth from her own lips.

"Hmmm?" She murmured sleepily, snuggling closer to his chest.

The action eased the tight knot of fear in his chest somewhat, but still…

"Regrets?"

"None…" She said, too softly he had to strain to hear.

"Next time will be better, Alice…I swear it." He promised against her hair.

But she has already fallen fast asleep, utterly exhausted.

He loosened up her clothing to make her more comfortable, felt a stab of guilt as he released her bound arms…he didn't even bother to undress completely!

But never had he felt this good before, content and replete beyond belief…and, despite his experience with women, he had never slept beside any of them before. In ways that matter, he was as new to this as she was.

Watching Alice as she slept, he felt peace wash over him as never before. Yuri smiled, and brushed a last kiss against her head, completely happy for the first time in his life…he too, soon joined her in sleep.

END


Author's notes: Just thought I'd write something about Alice's first time, but I couldn't think of any romantic scenario that would...convince her to finally sleep with Yuri. And considering how long it must have been since Yuri got laid, I don't think he'd be able to hold back, even for Alice.

Thank you to all my readers and for leaving reviews, I'm always happy to hear feedback.
