Chapter 239

• She closed the door after bidding farewell to her voracious lover with a long kiss, and leaned her back against the wood, sliding down to sit, pensive and unable to believe the whirlwind that had been her life in the last fifteen hours.
• In that short span, she had gone through novel situations, so intense that she could barely process them. And she didn't want to, she didn't want to think too much because she knew that inhibitions would surface naturally from years of strict rules or submission.
• She didn't want to taint with regret what she had enjoyed so immensely. It had been perfect, she wouldn't change a single moment. The date itself had been beautiful: the place, the food, the conversation, Kaleb's attention, his chivalry, his kindness. Wow. And what to say about the sex? She shuddered. Trembling, stuttering, sweating, blushing were the usual responses of her body in relation to that man, but that night the situation had escalated. There was no place he hadn't explored, hadn't caressed, kissed, or made love to. He had made her his in various ways, even unthinkable ones.
