civilization. I walked beside him the rest of the way to my dorm.
    He stared down at me, that look of awe on his face again.
    "Come away with me this weekend."
    His hand cupped my cheek and I turned my face towards it, pressing a kiss into his palm.
    "Yes."

    "You alright?"
    I glanced at Kaylia then shifted my eyes back to the road. It was raining and the roads were extra slick with wet leaves. I could protect her from almost anything. Except a car crash.
    Actually I'd probably just throw myself in front of her then too.
    "I'm fine Dyl."
    "I can turn the heat up."
    I reached for the knob and adjusted it, sending warm air streaming into the SUV's interior.
    I smiled and reached for her hand. Her fingers were cold as my hand enveloped hers. She wasn't saying much but that was alright. I could read my girl like a book.
    My girl.
    That's what she was now. Now that she'd finally stopped fighting. Stopped running. I could feel it down to my bones. I wasn't alone anymore. I never would be again.
    And tonight I would make it real.  
    I had rented a cabin for a couple of days. It had been almost a week since she'd sent the text, a week that had gone by torturously slow for me. She was mine now, but there was no place for us to be together with any degree of privacy.
    I couldn't bring her back to the suite without my roommates embarrassing her. Thankfully, I'd been able to convince her to take a few days off from her work study. And since my parents had brought my car up the month before, we were finally going to be alone.
    I felt my groin tighten at the thought of finally taking her. Having free reign to   thoroughly explore her sweet little body. I knew she would feel incredible in my arms. Even more so, I knew it would feel right.
    "In fifty feet, take the next left onto Fulsome Creek Road."
    There was no one driving on these back roads from what I could tell, but I flipped the turn signal on anyway. It was dark out and who knew what kind of drivers there were out here in the middle of nowhere.
    I turned onto the unpaved road and we started climbing. The new road was narrow and winding so I found myself leaning forward over the wheel, concentrating deeply. My reflexes were preternaturally fast, but I had precious cargo on board.
    After about ten minutes we came to a clearing at the top of a hill. A small cabin sat there, dark wood with a covered front porch. This was it.
    "Come on."
    I climbed out of the car and looked around. It was perfect. Secluded didn't begin to cover it. Other than the car lights and the stars, there was complete darkness.
    I walked up the porch stairs and fished the key out of my pocket. It slid into the lock and I pushed the door open. I reached back and pulled Kaylia into the cabin, making her squeal. Then I turned the light on. Not that I needed it to see. My night vision was insanely good. Just like my hearing. Just like my sense of smell.
    I turned the gas fireplace on with a switch.
    I grinned at Kaylia as she stared wide eyed around the cabin. She looked a little nervous. That didn't surprise me. After all, you could only lose your virginity once.
    I pulled her into my arms for a lingering kiss.  
    The night I'd waited for so long had begun.

    One bed.
    There was only one bed.
    The reality hit me like a ton of bricks. This was happening. This was happening tonight.
    I was losing my V-card.
    Of course I had expected to sleep with him. Wanted to sleep with him. But the fact that there was only one bed made it seem so... final.
    I rubbed my arms briskly, feeling the chill.
    I was just a little bit nervous, that's all. Dylan dropped another bag on the floor, making me jump in the air like a cat. Okay, maybe I was more than a little nervous.
    A lot.
    I was a lot nervous.
    It wasn't every day a girl lost her virginity after all.
    I wasn't sure if I should unpack, or take a shower, or... actually I had no idea what to do. Those were my only two options at the moment.
