I’ve waited for weeks.
 
 Put up and shut up.
 
 Kisses segued to bites. Bruises.
 
 Pain rippled through my body.
 
 “Brendan, please stop.”
 
 No. You promised,
 
 you damn little tease.
 
 Off came my shorts. Down went
 
 his zipper. I realized I was in
 
 serious trouble. “I’ll scream.”
 
 Go ahead. No one can hear
 
 but skunks and coyotes.
 
 Still, as I opened my mouth, his
 
 hand slapped down over it. Those
 
 muscles hardened.
 
 Just relax.
 
 You’ll love it.
 
 My brand-new Victoria’s Secrets
 
 shredded, and I felt the worst of
 
 Brendan
 
 pause, savoring my terror.
 
 They all love it.
 
 Had he done it a different way, I
 
 might have responded with excitement.
 
 Instead, I froze as he pushed inside.
 
 There it is.
 
 Oh God. There it goes.
 
 It went, all right, with an audible
 
 tear. Pain mushroomed into agony
 
 and all I could do was go stiff.
