Chapter 20

I slapped on a smile that was more contrived than genuine. I hadn’t been with a virgin since I was a teen, unless my later hookups had lied and had just happened to be fast learners. “You’ve never had sex before?” I tried hard not to act too surprised.

“No.” Miguel lowered his head for a moment. Then, he looked back into my eyes and leaned closer to my face. “I know, I know. A twenty-two-year-old male virgin is probably unheard of. But I was actually waiting for marriage until very recently.”

Wow, he really wasreligious with morals, just like Mami had mentioned. I’d just forgotten he was because of his naughty side. I was suddenly uncomfortable but didn’t want to show it. I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Maybe I’d just go to Juanito’s and shoot my load with him like he’d wanted. I didn’t know what to do anymore. I liked Miguel, but at the same time, I didn’t think I could deal with his virginity.

“You okay?” He probably sensed my distance.
