As Knox gently caressed Eretia's chest, she started to shiver. "You're incredibly beautiful," he whispered, his gaze fixed on her, admiring every curve of her body. Eretia hesitated, "Knox... maybe we shouldn't..." "Would you prefer if I stopped?" Knox inquired, concern evident in his voice. She stared back at him, feeling a mix of desire and uncertainty. "Why... why do you want to do this?" Knox's reply was filled with sincerity, "I want you to remember this moment when you return to your world, to long for this connection." "But..." she tried to protest. He silenced her with a tender kiss, his hands tenderly holding her breasts. "Is this your first experience, or am I mistaken?" he asked, their lips still locked. "No... I've never... been with anyone before," Eretia stammered, her heart racing. "I haven't either," Knox reassured, drawing her closer.
