“You’re a minor. I can’t.”
    “That’s silly. I’m only eight months younger than you.”
    “Yes, but you’re not eighteen yet.”
    “There are ways,” she whispered. “You know there are.”
    He stared at her, contemplating her words.
    “I want you,” she said again. “I want to feel you.”
    “I don’t have protection and I’m sure you’re not on any. Unless…”
    “No, I’m not, but it doesn’t matter,” she muttered.
    “Are you sure?”
    “Yes.”
    He took her mouth again, kissing her hard, sucking the breath out of her.
    “There’s no turning back if we do this,” he moaned. “It would be too hard on me.”
    “I know.”
    His hands ran up her legs to find the moist epicenter of her womanhood. She was wet and eager to have him. The mere touch of his fingers through her panties stilled her. He located her opening and inserted two fingers into it. She arched with ecstasy, never having experienced anything like it.
    “Ashton…,” she mumbled.
    “I want it to be special for you, Christy,” he groaned biting into her flesh just above her bosom. “Not like this.”
    “But I don’t want you to stop.”
    “And I can’t.”
    He reached down to his fly and pulled down his zipper.
    “I’m sorry,” he said, looking down into her eyes. “I promise you I’ll do better next time. But for now…”
    He pushed hard into her and she felt the hardened tip of his manhood press into her core through his cotton briefs. It was enough, she said to herself as she closed her eyes, her passion rushing through her veins like a drug. He rubbed against her core and she groaned, losing her breath slightly. She clawed into his back as he rocked with her, the tall grass whistling in the little breeze, swaying to its own music.

    “Marry me,” he said, cupping her face.
    “Ashton.” She looked up bewilderedly into his eyes. “I’m only going to turn eighteen. Don’t you think you’re being a little impulsive?”
    “I want you.”
    “And I want you too. But you don’t have to worry. It’s not even like we really did it. I’m still a virgin.” She blushed slightly from her recollection of how their steamy bodies locked together with passion only a few minutes ago.
    “You want out, right?” he said seriously. “You want to move out of Marshall and Linda’s. But where will you go? What will you do? I can give you all that.”
    “Ashton.” She pushed him away worriedly. “Yes, I do want that. But I don’t think marriage is the way to go about it. We’ve got a whole life ahead of us for that. And we still have so much to learn as a couple.”
    “What is there to learn? You know me. You’ve always known me. And I know you.”
    “Marriage… but marriage…”
    “I can protect you. You know how affluent my family is. With my name, you would be able to do things you could never do on your own.”
    That was true, she thought. Her father didn’t want her and her mother had most likely forgotten about her. She felt guilty asking Marshall for anything more already. With the chips she had in her hands, she would most likely end up a waitress or a check-out chick at a supermarket. It would take her ages to get through college and probably a better job. In the meanwhile, what guarantee was there that Ashton would make her the same offer ever again? Ashton was destined to go to the best universities in the country and meet someone who would suit him and his family. But as his wife, she’d always have him close to her and have some, if not equal opportunities, to make something of herself.
    “But what would your family say?” she said aloud. “Your parents would never agree. And Linda…”
    “I’ll take care of them,” he said confidently, kissing her shoulders. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed that I am the only son in the family. There is a lot I can get away with.”
    She hung her head in worry. “Okay. So how are we going to do it? I still have a month to turn
