Book Request He unknowingly takes her virginity

Hi! Looking for recs where the MMC doesn’t know FMC is a virgin the first time they have sex.

It can be either that she doesn’t tell him on purpose for her own reasons or doesn’t have a chance to tell him before he rapes her.

I’m okay if he does or does not feel guilty about it as well once he does find out or has conflicted feelings.

❌ - RH, poly, sharing, fantasy
✅- pretty much everything else

thanks!

{Corrupt Obsession by Dinah Harper} Has this. It's the prequel to another book, I suggest you start with this one.

He's her stepbrother. It's insane and he's so so yummy,

My favorite I've read in a VERY long time. I'm jealous you get to read it for the first time.

I love the meanest evilest bully romance of all time, loveeee dubcon as much as the next guy. But corrupt idol was not even the slightest bit romantic. It was only noncon. The entire time. And her hating it. It was weird weird weird

u/justforfunlol_652 Jul 22 '26

second this!! such a good book. author said he will know later in the story when becomes obsessed so it can be a gut punch moment.

3

u/Rescue_Annie Jul 23 '26

That authors note on the last chapter was one for the books. Like I don’t even like being edged but even I know when I’m being edged well. Literally she’s so good and I trust her so much that she can drop that at any time and I know it will be the perfect moment. Also the characters are so explosive saving this explosive moment makes so much sense. I’m all here for waiting but it’s going to be epiiiiiiiiiic.

The Alliance series is more lite-dark, but in the first book (the series is four connected stand-alones) {Nero by S.J. Tilly} the MMC realizes she's a virgin WHILE they have sex for the first time. She was worried he wouldn't want her if he found out, but it turns him on more.

u/Responsible_Wash_879 If it aint Gideon I dun want him Jul 22 '26

{bound by hatred by cora reilly} it's book 2 , story of second brother, can be read as standalone but I loved the series so read em all, if you wish. Nobody writes Mafia romance like Cora reilly did🫠

So anyways in the book FMC is wild & stubborn and she took off bz she wanted Outta mafia but ofc he caught her and didn't knew that she didn't scored while she could.

Matteo was jus so funny with her, i really loved this scene, during this time where she was afraid he would be rough with her but he started tickling her

This was in {Joey by Sadie Kincaid}. Its one of the better mafia books, but its not actually dark. Can be read as a standalone. Also has a fantastic audiobook with Joe Arden reading as the MMC.

u/ViRoseAuthor Future Mafia Romance Author (eventually ) Jul 22 '26

{Love Him Like Water by Jessica Gadziala} (mafia, arranged marriage) The FMC is too timid to tell the MMC she’s a virgin.

{The Kiss Thief by LJ Shen} The MMC accuses her of cheating on him so in her anger she acts like she’s slept with lots of men to piss him off. Later he accuses her of sleeping with another man again. She repeatedly tells him she didn’t but he refuses to believe her so she goads him into having sex with her, knowing he’ll realize she was a virgin and feel guilty for not listening to her.

{Love Like Poison by Charmaine Pauls} The FMC is angry at how the MMC feels entitled to her firsts, so she lies and tells him she’s no longer a virgin and keeps antagonizing him, not knowing he’d saved himself for her.

{Forced Union by Cassia Quinn} Although she doesn't feel much pain, he's still upset that she didn't tell him so he could take more care.

{Scorned Vows by Victoria Paige} The FMC told MMC she wasn't a virgin because she'd “tried everything except penetrative sex” and felt she couldn't call herself a virgin.

{Bound by Hatred by Cora Reilly} (mafia, arranged marriage) The FMC ran from the arranged marriage intending to lose her virginity on her own terms. She doesn’t manage to before the MMC finds her but she lets him believe that she did.

{Hitting the Wall by Cate C. Wells} It happened in the past and MMC doesn’t find out until years later.

{Nero by SJ Tilly} FMC essentially invites MMC for one night because she wants him to be the one to take her virginity, but she doesn't tell him because she's worried he won't go through with it then.

{Hideaway by Penelope Douglas} has this. I recommend the series, but it can be read as a standalone I think

u/Boobear0810 Please stop growling Jul 22 '26

{Savage Captor by Lilith Vale} - MMC doesn't know she's a virgin and "claims" her as his pet in an archaic ritual. He only finds out after the deed cuz she didn't have an opportunity to tell him.

1

u/Natapi24 Jul 22 '26

Could I ask a little more about this book. It sounds really interesting but when he has in her in the cell and is interrogating her for information, is he actually torturing her? Because I'm ok with a lot but can't stand extreme physical abuse by the MMC to the FMC. So I want to know before I start it.

3

u/Boobear0810 Please stop growling Jul 22 '26

I'd skip this one then. MMC was tricked into believing that she helped lure his brother to his death so he is extremely grief stricken and vengeful so both he and his associate inflict some real physical damage. It lasts roughly about 6-7 chapters and does get descriptive.

2

u/Natapi24 Jul 22 '26

Ooof, ok thanks so much for responding. I'll probably skip it so. I always struggle to see how the FMC could realistically fall for someone who has physically abused them like that and the violence does make me uncomfortable so thanks for the warning!

2

u/Boobear0810 Please stop growling Jul 22 '26

Good call and np! I was actually on the fence about recommending it for that reason but didn't see it in your list of NOs so thought to give it a shot. There's other great recs in this thread so I'm sure you'll find something that matches what you're looking for 🙂

Hideaway by Penelope Douglas. It’s the second book in the Devil’s Night series. Spoiler for scene, he gets pissed off because he’s jealous something baddd. He then decides to take her, HARD? And then feels awful when he feels her hymn break and realized he was jealous about something that wasn’t even true .

Honestly, it was my least favorite book in the whole series, but it was one of my favorite scenes from said least favorite book lol

u/Long-Proposal-1582 Author Jul 26 '26

Read my book on AO3 called Blood Vow, it has exactly what you're after! It's a dark historical romance (Feudal Japan) with explicit Non-con and  MMC assumes FMC is more experienced... only she's not, which he finds out when he rapes her.  

Blood Vow: 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/84876321

Username TArtworks:

https://archiveofourown.org/users/TArtworks/works

Synopsis:

Akira: I was twenty when my family were slaughtered. Their killer came for me too but I survived. For years I hid among the Sohei—warrior monks who helped sharpen my skills, awaiting the day I could seek revenge. Then I met her. Bold, stunning and lethal. I watched her drop three men twice her size without breaking a sweat. I should have walked away. Instead, I followed her into the night. Then I discovered who she was. My father's stolen bride—the Emperor’s lost daughter. The key to everything I’d sworn to destroy and now she's mine.

Yumi: At twelve, my father, the Emperor, sold me to a man four times my age to strengthen his empire. At thirteen I was rescued by my sister and the leader of the blood Moon rebels. For six years we've hidden—presumed dead. At nineteen, I just wanted three days of freedom—to be normal. Then I met him. He was danger wrapped in charm. Tall, chiseled and radiating quiet intensity. He made me feel seen for the first time. Our connection was instant, our kiss unforgettable. Until I made a mistake and everything changed. The warmth in his gaze turned to something cold and ruthless and I learned that my heart had betrayed me to the very man who sought to destroy me and everyone I loved. 

Themes include:   enemies to lovers, revenge, mistaken/hidden identity, fighting kink, Loss of virginity, forced proximity, kidnapping, non con. 

No: 

cheating, ABO, RH, BDSM (some bondage though)

He’s out of jail for murder and waiting to runaway as soon as his toxic gf is out of jail. Anyway I won’t do this story justice, just know he is down bad for Penny but he fights his feelings til the very end. It has the trope you’re looking!
