“What the—Lucy?”

Something in Josh’s tone made Lucy open her eyes. She didn’t want to. She wanted to pull him back into her arms and curl around his chest—God, what a chest—and drift off into sleep. She wanted to wake up that way, too, and then she wanted him to hold her down again and make mad passionate love to her again and again and again.

She met his gaze and then he looked down at his penis. So she looked, too. She was allowed to look. They were lovers now and lovers got to openly stare at each other’s naked bodies whenever they wanted, right?

That wasn’t all she was looking at. It wasn’t his manhood—it was the bloodstained condom.

And reality—that cruel, heartless bitch—came intruding into her happy dream.

“You were a virgin?” He asked in the same tone of voice he might use to ask if Bigfoot really existed.

Was there any good way to have this conversation? No. But there had to be a better way than this.

“Um,” she started, and then stopped because that wasn’t any sort of answer at all. “Yes?” She winced at the way it came out as a question. Because she knew it wasn’t.

His eyes narrowed and he put his hands on his hips. “I’ll be right back,” he told her. “And then you and I are going to have a talk.”

Without waiting for an answer, he turned and stalked away. Normally, she would’ve taken advantage of this opportunity to admire his butt. It was at that exact moment that she began to feel the effects of her first time. She was sore and stretched and her labia burned. Despite all that, she wanted him back in her bed again.

She sat up in bed, wincing as her delicate parts came into contact with the sheet. And then she winced again because there was probably more blood. She felt different—and that was an understatement. But at the same time, she didn’t feel as different as she’d thought she would. She’d gained some firsthand knowledge—but she didn’t think it had fundamentally altered who she was. She wasn’t a virgin anymore, but she still felt like Lucy. She’d climaxed—two climaxes in one night wasn’t bad for a first timer—but the heavens hadn’t opened and the angels hadn’t sung and she hadn’t heard any fireworks go off.

She rubbed her temples. Being different and not different at the same time made her feel funny.

The bathroom door opened and Josh strode out. This was the stuff of fantasy, she had to admit. Because she had fantasized about this many times, except in her fantasies, Josh had always been leaner, more gangly. More awkward. He’d been the teenager she remembered.

He hadn’t been this broad, muscled man with a sprinkling of dark chest hair. He also hadn’t been this intimidating man with his jaw set and his eyes hard.

Before she could think of anything reasonable to say, he told her, “Your turn.”

Lucy took the hint. She went to the bathroom and got cleaned up and then looked at herself in the mirror.
