His deep, hoarse voice worked like magic. She relaxed a Little.

They Lost themselves in each other, and the moment. For a long while, only the sounds of love could be heard.

Some moments later, tears formed in the girl's eyes. There were all sorts of things she was thinking of, and none of them had to do with lovemaking. All sorts of shame and awkwardness about her body, her inexperience. Matthew was no stranger to sex-what if she didn't measure up?

And she began to tense up. Naturally, this caused some pain. She didn't expect the first time to be this painful.

Her nails were deeply embedded in his muscles.

Her tears made his heart ache. He Lowered his head and kissed away her tears, comforting her in a low voice, “Just relax, honey. Forget everything for right now!"

And that was when she remembered the man's gentle words of comfort, and his vigorous motions the night before. It was all coming back to her.

Last night, she and Matthew finally made Love.

They finally experienced the most magical of nights.

They had been married for three months, and she finally gave herself to him.

So this was what having sex felt like. But this wasn't like it was in novels or on TV. Why was her experience different? Some people said it was the best feeling in the world. That an orgasm was a life-changing experience. But why did she feel as if she was torn apart?
