Chapter 19

Tom and I began talking about this setup in secret. Since he's just going to use me for his own benefits because of his family's tradition, I've decided that boundaries must be set on this one and so we've created an agreement.

"No sleeping with me," I said directly. "No touch, no sex. I'll allow holding hands but only when your parents and grandparents are around." I said strictly.

"No sex, got it." He answered.

That's the only condition I've got for him.

"You don't feel lust a lot, don't ya?" I asked.

"You're a little blunt, aren't you?" Tom responded.

"That didn't answer my question but whatever. That's the only condition I have for you," I said. "How about you?"

He shrugged and said, "Nothing on my end. I just need to get over this."

"Can I hug you?" He asked.

"Well if only necessary, sure." I answered.

"How about a kiss?" He asked.

"If you want to kiss my fist, sure thing." I answered and glared at him.
