"I was Tom Jones’ birthday present to Elvis Presley" — that’s the shocking claim of Maria Rappa in a world exclusive interview revealing she was a 20-year-old virgin when the two heart-throbs passed her around like a plate of cookies!

Maria is breaking her silence about the twisted “gift” for the first time ever — and says her role as a sleazy party favor began when the "What’s New Pussycat?" singer picked her out of the audience at a Las Vegas concert in 1973. “I was 20 and completely star-struck,” Maria, now a 65-year-old grandmother living near Sin City, tells The National ENQUIRER.

“Tom kept coming to my table and flirting with me as he sang. “All the women were grabbing at him and throwing panties at him — but Tom asked ME to join him on stage!”After serenading her with his hit "She’s a Lady," the pelvis-popping singer escorted Maria back to the table, where she was sitting with her mother. Soon after, one of Tom’s “talent scouts” invited the two backstage — and then Tom asked them to drop by his sixth-floor suite. Upstairs they found the "Sex Bomb" stud wrapped in his signature white robe, getting a “lap dance” from a beauty while his entourage partied!

“One of the guys asked me if I wanted to sleep with Mr. Jones,” tells Maria. “I said no, because I was a virgin. Tom got up to talk to us, said that he was a ‘gentleman’ and couldn’t entertain us that night. But he asked me to go with him to a party for Elvis Presley the following night! When I said I didn’t have anything to wear, Tom handed me three $100 bills and told me to buy a sexy dress!” The next night Maria showed up at Tom’s suite in her new dress, and they took a limo to the Las Vegas Hilton. When they arrived at Elvis’ suite, he was surrounded by members of his "Memphis Mafia," Maria remembered.

“But Tom took me by the hand, they stepped aside — and Tom introduced me to Elvis as his ‘birthday gift!’” Maria recalled. “Elvis was very sweet, and said that I reminded him of Priscilla. “He led me to the bedroom, laid me on his bed, and said, ‘You don’t have to do this.’ But he was very gentle and loving and … he was ELVIS!” After Elvis took her virginity, Maria says Tom wanted to sleep with her, too! “But I couldn’t imagine sleeping with two different men in the same night,” she said.

Shockingly, this isn’t the first time 77-year-old Tom has been accused of sleazy behavior. He’s facing rape allegations after a South African woman said Tom assaulted her after targeting her at a concert, and plying her with champagne when she was only 16! Maria never saw Elvis again, and claims Tom wanted to start a relationship with her. “Tom invited me to his concert in L.A. a couple of months later, but we never took it further,” she said.
