"Just so you know," Thea said, her voice steady but laced with a hint of nervous energy, "I might be a virgin… but I'm not clueless. You don't have to treat me like I don't know anything."
Ray let out a quiet breath, unsure whether to laugh or take her seriously. There was something about the way she said it. She was confident on the surface, but there was a faint tremor underneath her voice that showed how nervous she was.
"I always thought my first time would be different," she continued, a small smile tugging at her lips. "You know… some reckless bad boy, someone unpredictable."
As she spoke, her fingers moved to the thin hospital gown. Slowly, almost deliberately, she slipped it off her shoulders, letting it fall.
Underneath, she wore simple black underwear, nothing extravagant.
But in that moment, it didn't need to be.
Ray's throat went dry. He swallowed hard, his gaze instinctively shifting away before returning again, as if he couldn't decide whether to look or not.
Thea then stepped closer.
Before he could react, she took his hand and gently guided it upward, placing it against the side of her neck. Her skin was warm… but there was something else beneath it… something tense, like her pulse was racing faster than it should.
"I think…" she said softly, her voice dropping, "I'd like it a little rough."
Her eyes met his.
"There's something about it that just…" she trailed off, exhaling lightly. "It makes me feel alive. Just thinking about being choked, it… turns me on."
Ray's heart started pounding. He couldn't believe that this was happening so fast.
He let out an awkward chuckle and slowly pulled his hand away, his fingers lingering for just a second before retreating completely.
"Yeah… I, uh…"
He rubbed the back of his neck, avoiding her gaze.
If only she knew.
The "bad boy" image she had in her head?
That wasn't him.
The tattoos and earrings he had—they were just for show. Something he picked up over time to look tougher than he really was.
When in reality… he had zero experience. Not even close.
Thea tilted her head slightly, studying him, as if trying to read what was going on behind his awkward reactions. But instead of pressing further, she simply turned away for a moment.
Reaching into the pocket of her gown, she pulled out a slightly crumpled pack of cigarettes.
Ray blinked.
Of all things… that wasn't what he expected next.
She tapped one out and placed it between her lips with casual familiarity.
"Got a light?" she asked, glancing back at him.
For a second, he just stared.
Then he shook himself out of it and moved toward the side of his bed, grabbing his wallet. He flipped it open and pulled out a small lighter.
It wasn't just any lighter.
A knife-lighter combo.
Something he'd bought on impulse a while back, thinking the blade might come in handy someday.
Funny enough… it was the lighter that got used first.
He handed it to her, and for a brief second, their fingers brushed slightly.
She lit the cigarette, inhaled, then exhaled slowly, the smoke curling lazily into the sterile hospital air.
For a moment, everything felt strangely calm.
Ray watched her, conflicted.
The medical student in him was practically screaming.
Smoking is bad for you.
You're in a hospital.
You shouldn't be doing this.
But he said nothing.
Because right now…
He didn't want to sound like a lecture.
He doesn't want to ruin this fragile, strange connection forming between them.
Especially not when this might be the first… and last… moment like this he'd ever have.
Keep it together, Ray…
Who cares about smoking in a hospital when the world is already falling apart? And health? That doesn't even matter anymore…
I can't let her think I'm some clueless guy. If she wants a bad boy… then I'll give her one.
Before he could overthink it any further, Ray grabbed the edge of his hospital robe and pulled it off in one smooth motion.
The fabric dropped to the floor, revealing a well-built frame, defined chest, firm abs, the result of discipline he never really talked about. The tattoo on his arms were now very much visible.
Thea blinked.
For a brief moment, she was genuinely caught off guard.
Her eyes lingered, taking in the unexpected sight, a faint spark of interest lighting up her expression.
"…Well," she murmured, clearly impressed, though trying not to show it too much.
Ray didn't say anything, but there was a subtle shift in his posture, like he was trying to play into the role he'd just created.
Now, I've upped her.
Thea then stepped closer slowly.
She reached up, her fingers brushing against his jaw before gently holding his face. Then, without hesitation, she leaned in and pressed her lips against his.
The kiss caught him off guard.
It was warm, and he had just opened his mouth to take in the kiss when a smoke slipped into his mouth. It was so sudden that he didn't even realized what was happening.
Ray pulled back almost immediately, coughing lightly as the unfamiliar sensation hit his throat.
"Damn…" he muttered under his breath, clearing it.
Thea laughed softly, a playful grin spreading across her face.
"First time?" she teased.
Ray shot her a look.
Yeah… she definitely noticed. This is what my inexperience and years of being locked up reading, causing me.
Thea seemed to be enjoying it.
But that smug smile on her face? Yeah, he wasn't letting that slide.
Without warning, he reached forward and pulled her closer. Her body pressed lightly against his. Then he moved his hand toward her butt, grabbing a handful of her asscheeks.
The sudden shift made her pause just for a second.
Ray held her there, his confidence a little more solid this time.
His hands traced over her lace panties, touching her bare skin down to her thighs. He mentally took note of how soft it was.
Soft moans escaped Thea's lips despite her trying so hard to hide them. Ray's hands were so soft that every single movement seemed to be sending numerous waves of sensation throughout her body.
And since she hadn't been touched that way before, all of the sensations were pretty much new to her. She couldn't help the moans and gasps leaving her lips.
Before she knew it, her panties had already slid down her legs. She intentionally took it off so Ray could touch her ass properly.
Ray, feeling as nervous as ever had unintentionally slid his hand to the back of her ass, towards a certain wet area. Even Thea had jerked up with surprise. Instantly, he took his hands off.
'Fuck, I just touched her vagina. But why am I like this? It's not like this is my first time doing such. But damn, she's so wet.'
At that moment, Ray could feel a certain part of him twitching and rising suddenly. 'I'm getting hard.' He smiled.
But his thoughts were momentarily interrupted when he heard Thea speak up. "Touch it."
"What?" He asked, quite dumbfounded by her request.
"Where you touched now, touch it again…" she whispered.
That's when her eyes landed between Ray's legs and she could see his little brother peeking up from its confines.
"Your penis, it just moved now." She said with utter bafflement, her hands inching slightly toward it.
Ray could feel his dick twitching more as he realised that Thea's attention was on it. "T-that's how it does." He replied, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
"Can I see it?" She requested.
To satisfy her curiosity, Ray went on to take off his condom boxers, revealing a largely grown cock. Meanwhile, Thea's mouth was left agape in amusement as she observed it, then a thought came to her mind.
"Will it fit inside me?" She didn't even realise she had spoken the words out.
"It will," Ray replied, he didn't have the time to explain that the vagina walls have a flexible layer that is easily able to stretch.
He could feel something shifting within him. Perhaps it was the need to experience what sex was, or the fact that the room lights won't stop blinking, reminding him that the world outside was still in chaos.
Before Thea could say or do anything else, Ray grabbed her as he lifted her off the ground like a baby.
He carried her in his arms, placing one of his hands beneath her ass for balance, then with his other hand, grabbed the sides of her neck, before going in for a kiss.
Being petite, Ray was able to lift her easily. With both of them locking lips, and Ray choking her slightly with his hand, he then attempted what he had never done before in his life.
"Aaaahhhhhh!!" Thea screamed.
'You're not the only one who knows one or two things about sex, it's just that I haven't had anyone to practice with, or perhaps I was too busy chasing a good future…'
