CHAPTER 31: Splish Splash

  Ares had left her to get into the tub on her own. This felt a very seductive segue to spending the night together, she considered, as he had lit some candles and dimmed the lights in the bathroom before giving her a few moments to slip under the bubbles which he had made sure were plentiful.

  Her legs were still trembling and for all the attempts at flirting and bravado she’d had egging him this evening, now she was facing the very real knowledge she was going to sleep with a man, actually have intercourse with a guy, and it happened to be the one she’d been fantasizing for over a month. Yet, for as nervous as she felt, in her gut she knew this was right for her. She had no misgivings about what she was doing, only about the actual act itself. Dimi telling her and Darya she had bled was making her nervous. God, she prayed it didn’t hurt.
