09.

(A/N: hello, it's me. I've no experience in kissing, let alone creating a good kissing scene. This is the best I could come up with.)

Ryan could feel how nervous Neela was by her trembling hand, her rapid heart beat, her rambunctious thoughts. With a chuckle, Ryan rubbed her shoulders to ease the tension that journeyed throughout her body. "It's only a small kiss, nothing too drastic."

Before Neela could begin to 'voice' her concerns, she felt warmness all around her mouth. Her lips were consumed by Ryan's, the feeling to her was novel but it was a good feeling. The small intimate moment caused butterflies to engorge all around in Neela's torso.

Ryan having used to be an incubus was used to kissing women, but this? This was..indescribable. The amount of happiness that overtook ryan made him feel like he was flying; he's never experienced anything that life-changing before.

Ryan knew exactly what to do, how to move, where to put his hands, how to simply breathe during a kiss. Neela was rare and pure, that's what lured Ryan to have such infatuation with her. Neela having a fear of boys, being inexperienced just meant that Ryan would be the one to teach her everything she knew.

Ryan pulled slightly away, just so their lips were no longer attached. "Neela," he laughed slightly, his warm breath fanned Neela's wet lips. "You were dying while trying to kiss me."

"I'm sorry," Neela pulled away more and slowly attempted to remove herself from Ryan's grasp. She was completely embarrassed to say the least. She felt like she ruined it all, her first kiss was supposed to be special.

"It's okay," Ryan reattached their limbs together, "just do what I do."

Once again, Ryan's lips wholly captured Neela's. He moved slowly by only giving a few long, drawn-out peck, Neela tried her best to reciprocate his movements. After a few tries, she actually got it down.

Ryan then trapped Neela's bottom lip in his warm inlet and gently grinned his teeth across the smooth, untouched skin. "You're doing great," Ryan pulled away for Neela to catch a few quick breaths then went right back to having his mouth occupied with hers.

This time, Ryan kissed her fully but tilted his head more right so the extension of the couples mouths would be deeper. Ryan wanted to press his chest against Neela's but knew he couldn't from her casted arm, so he subjected to settling his hands on either side of her waist.

Very hesitantly, Neela fisted the fabric of Ryan's shirt on his shoulder after she felt his hands moving. "It's okay to touch me," he reminded his mate, once again, giving her a few seconds to catch her breath.

At this point, Neela was having a mental battle with herself. She knew that Ryan could feel her trembling hand ghosting over the skin on his neck, she knew she wasn't doing as good as she and Ryan both hoped, she knew the nervousness couldn't be helped but still felt stupid.

Ryan, while still moving his lips against Neela's, grabbed her left hand with his left and begun to slide her hand down his left arm. He let her trace his slightly defined muscles, she could feel every flex in his warm arm. Despite the thin fabric, Neela loved how his skin felt to come into contact with.

"Miss me?" A voice echoed in Ryan's head, he quickly moved away at the disembodied whisper. "Let's stop here for now," Ryan smiled while taking quick steps back to the couch he had previously slept on. "You did great, but it wants.." he trailed off once he saw the disappointment in his mates eyes, "don't be discouraged, Angel! You're a natural, all you need to work on is your breathing."

Heaving a sigh, Neela nodded and laid back down. Luckily, the bedside desk was in her left side so she could reach her chip bag. "Do you feel any pain? I've been draining my energy all day to make sure you feel close to nothing," Ryan quickly changed the subject to get his mind off the kiss and his demon wanting to be let freed.

Neela shook her head at his question, "I don't feel anything. Thank you."

"Uhh, you should get to sleep. We're, uhh, going home tomorrow." Ryan begun to feel lightheaded sickly, "I'm gonna go get some fresh air, I'll be back," he quickly left the room to get out of the hospital as quickly as he could. And with supernatural powers, it was pretty quick.

"Morning" came and Neela and Ryan were still sleeping peacefully when the family came in. Ryan was on the couch, Neela was huddled under covers in the bed. "Neela, it's morning," Damien gently shook Neela's shoulder while Landon pelted Ryan with the pillow he was holding while in his slumber.

"You bloom different," Caleb, referring to Neela, pointed out to the rest of his family. "I don't know what, but something about you is more..gleaming?"

"We kissed last night," Ryan stayed bluntly in a groggy, hoarse voice, "over and over."

"You didn't mark her again, right?" Damien asked going right back to Neela's side and placing a hand on her shoulder. "You'd know if I did," Ryan shook his head and stood up, "I don't think she'd even be awake if I had." He went to his abandoned bag of chips and can of soda for breakfast.  "Can you speak?"

Neela still felt embarrassed from her proof of inexperience the night before, but the smirk that was plastered on Ryan's face told her that there was nothing to be bashful about. Ryan loved the fact that Neela had no experience with love and dating, it just made each new step in their relationship even more precious.
Ryan is the one who gets to teach Neela about love and dating, Ryan is the one who will help Neela break from her shell.
