CHAPTER
EIGHTEEN
LUNA
Silence reigns for a beat as Carter gawks at me. âTheir . . . what?â he snaps.
His utterance brings me back to Earth from the foggy pink haze of bliss Iâm floating in. I blink and meet his gaze. He looks horror-stricken and terrified.
âYou mean peopleâs first time together, right?â he asks. âNot first-first time. Like you werenât a virgin. For fuckâs sake, tell me you werenât a virgin.â
He sounds a little hysterical. Offended, I feel my inner Alphena rising up. âVirginity is the patriarchyâs attempt to control womenâs actions through shame. And if youâre talking about loss of the hymen, Iâve had periods for over a decade and used plenty of toys.â
I couldâve left the details out, especially about toys, but Samantha has taught me that they can be a vital part of pleasuring oneself and nothing to be ashamed of. Gritting his teeth, Carter asks again, âYou werenât a virgin, though? I mean, youâve had sex before?â
âOral and fingers,â I admit, âbut not . . . what we did.â
Itâs only when he pulls his now-soft dick out of me and deals with the condom that I realize this conversation has all been with him still inside me, post-orgasm. âHoly fuck, Luna! I wouldâve been more . . . or less . . . if Iâd known. Thatâs the sort of thing you tell someone beforehand. You shouldâve told me.â
I can feel the heat of a blush creeping up my neck, and lying here with my dress around my waist seems sleazy when heâs freaking out and already regretting this. I squirm, trying to shove my dress down, desperately wanting to hide. Or escape.
âI wouldnât have changed a thing, until this moment.â
I swing my leg around him, sitting up and reaching for my heels. I dread putting them back on, but Iâm going to strut out of here with every piece of my armor in place or die trying.
âLuna, wait. I didnât mean it like that. Your first timeââ I hold up a finger to argue, and he begrudgingly corrects himself. âFirst time with someone should be special. Not a rough fuck on a couch. I wouldâve . . .â
I donât wait for him to tell me all the ways that what we did was wrong. Because I know what he really means. âYou wouldâve stopped.â
We both know itâs true. I really donât think first timesâwith someoneâneed to be this rose petal covered bed, a special occasion. But Carter does. Or at least he thinks I should think that. Either way, the net result is the same.
Iâm wrong. For what I want, for what Iâve done, even for what I havenât done. I stand, stepping out of reach as he tries to stop me. âWait. Luna, wait.â
âIâm gonna go. Good luck with . . . everything.â
