I Can Be All Sweets And Roses For You

Elena's POV:

I know I shouldn't panic. I know. But damn it, how could I not? Sitting here with that contract in my hands, reading words that practically leapt off the page like some kind of horror story—it was too much. I am a virgin. A naïve, clueless virgin who'd grown up fantasizing about fairytale romance and the gentle kind of love that left you breathless, not bruised. And this? This scared the ever-loving hell out of me.

Okay, so I knew the first time wasn't all roses and fireworks. It was supposed to hurt a little, right? Fine, I could deal with that. But spanking? Gagging? Whipping? Bounding? My heart raced just thinking about it. I mean, what the hell had I gotten myself into? I'd always thought sex was about soft touches, whispered words, and that heart-thumping intimacy you see in all the cheesy romance movies. I never imagined it would be… this. Torture dressed up as pleasure.
