Chapter 41 Struck

• Mentally I shook my head. There was no way he would let me go. No, even without my purity Ethan would take me. There was no point in hoping. No, what happened last night was the best that to ever happen to me. It was my choice and I regret none of it. I’m sure it’ll cost me in the future, but until then, I’ll keep the secret of my purity to myself.
• I needed to find a way to let Shane know about what happened. I needed him to know he had to be careful. I had to keep him away from me. The thought alone had my heart dropping out of my chest. I stood by the window next to my bed. I didn’t look at her as she made her way to me.
