Chapter 16 Marked

Dust floated in the light filtering through my open window. I blinked my eyes open, still feeling a bit out of it. What went down last night? Right, I took my pills, and then Dennis showed up, and we made love. My first time.

The memories began to flood back to me. It was like a dream beyond my imagination. It was like watching a movie through a blurry window, except for the extreme pain and pleasure. I knew it wasn't a dream.

The sunlight was too harsh. I raised my hand to cover my eyes as I realized that every inch of my body ached. There were light bruises on my skin, and they reminded me that I was no longer a virgin.

He marked me.

I covered my face with my hands. Tears streamed down my face, but I didn't know why.

Maybe for the loss of my virginity, or for the pain all over my body, or I was ashamed of the pleasure he gave me. His touch. His lips on my skin.
