Bab 25: Book 1 : Chapter 25 And They Had No Light

October 16th

During breakfast, Leo was still very quiet.

It unsettled me.

"You're still thinking about what Antonio and Blair said, aren't you?" I asked.

"How long are you going to make me wait?" He asked, leaning back and sighing.

I shrugged.

"And why?" He questioned, "so you don't want to please me because I'm a 'bad' person. Are you nervous about losing your virginity too?"

I swallowed.

"It's normal to be nervous because it's your first time and that won't change whether we do it now or in ten years," he said. "But it's not just the sex you're nervous about."

I looked down at my plate.

"It makes it real, doesn't it?" He asked.

I didn't move.

"Right now, we haven't finished the mating process. We have a connection but it's not solidified yet. But as soon as you sleep with me, you are well and truly my mate. No way out. That scares you, doesn't it?"

I shrugged.
