CHAPTER 11

Cecilia

Sitting in church, listening to Father Enzo go on and on about sin and hell makes shift in my seat. Theo gave me my first orgasm yesterday, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. If Father Enzo knew, he’d surely say I belonged in hell. I’m supposed to wait for marriage. I was always all right with that idea. But now that Salvatore will be the first man I sleep with, it feels like punishment. I should be able to enjoy my body before I’m forced to wed an old man.

I want Theo to make me feel like that again. I need him to touch me like that again. My skin itches for how badly I want it. He woke something up in me, and now, I’m not sure I can put it away.

“Cecilia,” Mom murmurs, tapping my leg. It’s only then I realize I’ve been bouncing it. She nods toward Father Enzo, who’s still talking about sin and hell. “Focus.”

It’s hard, especially with Theo sitting in the pew behind me. I glance over my shoulder at him. He’s watching the sermon. How he can look so calm and collected after what we did yesterday is a mystery to me. I feel like a complete mess. I guess it’s because Theo has had more practice at relationships than I have, which makes me feel slightly jealous. Even though I have no reason to. He’s made it clear he likes me. It’s just that all of this is so new to me.

His eyes flick to mine, and a little smile passes his lips before he slips his stoic expression back into place. He nods toward my mom, and I turn back in my seat before she can catch me ogling Theo.

“Adultery,” Father Enzo says, his voice ringing out loud and clear. I snap to attention. “Adultery is one of the worsts sins a person can commit.” He looks out at the crowd, but I swear, it’s like he’s looking right at me. I guess I’ve committed adultery in my own way. I don’t want to belong to Salvatore, but I technically do because my heart belongs with Theo.

Sweat begins to bead across my body as Father Enzo continues his sermon, condemning adultery and everyone who practices it.

It feels like it takes forever for his sermon to end, and once he’s done, everyone in the church scatters. Mom turns to me. “Cecilia, are you all right? You look hot.” She touches my head before I can move away. “You’re a little warm. Are you okay?” Am I okay? Of course not. All I want is to be with Theo, which is new and intimidating and thrilling, all while dealing with Catholic guilt and being forced to marry Salvatore. I am most definitely not okay.

“I’m fine,” I squeak out. “Ready to go?” I can’t stand the sight of Jesus staring down at me from the cross with judgment in his eyes.

She frowns. “Don’t you want to make confession with Father Enzo? You do it every week.
