The question had been an innocent one, only that he meant to see if she had gained any more experience than the night with him months ago. She had plenty of time to find herself a new lover, so it was only right for him to ask. If she hadn't been with anyone, he certainly didn't want to go too fast or too rough. He didn't want to scare her away after all. So naturally when she got all defensive with him, he paused the exploring of his hand, taking a step back and letting his gaze fall on hers. "I didn't call you a whore, Malia..." His voice was soft and reassuring, hoping to teach her that he was only looking out for her. "I just don't want to hurt or scare you, is all. If you've only been with me, I don't want to go too fast or too rough..." There were so many ways to have sex and Malia deserved to enjoy all of them. However, Henry did not want to go from step 1 to step 37 without going through steps 2-36. Despite his intentions for having sex with Malia tonight, he still wanted to do right by her.

He stepped forward again, his hands softly grabbing her hips as he pushed her back towards the wall. Only when he felt her body sandwiched between his own and the wall did he slowly allow his hands to finish pulling her dress from her body and letting it fall to a heap on the floor.

Lips pressed to hers in a hungry kiss as his fingers worked to remove her bra first, and then her panties. Once she was naked, he slowly lifted one leg and rested it on the beside table. Then his lips were moving, first along her jaw, then down her neck, then to each breast. He sucked and nipped at each nipple before his lips ran lower, pressing a hot trail of kisses straight to her core.

By the time he was at the apex of her thighs, he was kneeling on the floor, his lips against her heat with his fingers soon joining her. Unlike the last time, she knew what to expect. He was not as slow and deliberate as before. He worked with a purpose. He brought her just to the brink of orgasm before he stopped.

Kisses trailed back up her body before he pressed them to her own with hungry need. "Turn around." He waited for her to press her front to the wall and as she was doing that, he quickly stripped himself of his shirt and pants. Once he was a naked as she was, he reached into the beside table and pulled out a condom. He hadn't forgotten that she wanted no pups. He wasn't even sure he wanted to have kids at all. At least he was aroused enough for sex â€" that was good.

Once the condom was on and secure, he stepped up behind Malia and poised himself at her entrance. He teased her there only momentarily before he entered her. He started off slow, trying to give her a second to adjust to him before he increased his pace. Teeth nipped at her neck in more an arousing fashion than an aggressive one. His hand moved between their bodies to stroke her center, wanting her to come alive with him.

Only when he felt her orgasm did he finally let his hips still and his orgasm overtake him, filling the condom. When he was left breathless, he pulled out of her and rolled off the condom, tossing it in the trash. He took her hand, guiding her towards the bed and once he was seated, he sat her down on top of him. He looked deep in her eyes. "Don't ever think of yourself as a whore, Malia â€" but I want you to find love...I want you to find that person that you simple cannot live without." He had found that in Sterling. However, his relationship with Sterling was questionable at best. He was able to have sex with Malia. He didn't understand why he couldn't have that with Sterling. He wanted Sterling in that sense but when he could not get aroused, he assumed it was a defect in him. But now he was sensing that the problem lay with him and Sterling. He wasn't even sure how to go about fixing that.
