“Aeri, we need to talk.” Kris announced to his girlfriend, who was sitting very prettily on his bed, picking at the thread of his pillow. A few months had passed by, by now since the incident with Aeri at the dance academy and the hot, sizzling Summer weather had cool down to the breezy Fall.

The younger girl visibly panicked and quickly set the pillow on her lap aside. “Oh no.” Aeri's eyes were wide and her features became troubled. “You're breaking up with me.” Kris stared at Aeri in disbelief and vehemently shook his head. “No, no. no! Baby!” He chuckled slightly and went to sit beside his girl. He grasped her hands into his and kissed her cheek lovingly. “That wasn't what I was going to say.”

“Oh...” She blushed embarrassingly at her overreacting and smiled up sheepishly at her boyfriend. “What did you want to say then?”

The tall man toyed with Aeri's well-manicured nails and mentally rehearsed his speech before saying it to his girlfriend. When he was satisfied with how well it sounded in his head he opened his mouth to talk. “I just want to start out by saying that I'm not pressuring you in any sorts of way, I swear, but how far are you willing to go in this relationship?” He finally broke down and ask.

Kris had been thinking about this for months. He and Aeri had done many, many intimate things together but they haven't had . They were hitting their one year anniversary in just a few weeks and Kris thought it was about time to take the next step.

And of course there was the whole growing up with each other thing and her traditional parents, Kris just knew his little sweetie would never let a boy touch her in an inappropriate way. She was his sweet, innocent angel.

“We've done a lot in our relationship. And I honestly think we're about ready to take things further but if you aren't, I'm fine too!” He was quick to add, fearing that he may be coming off too strong. “I just....”

“I think I am.” Aeri answered, her voice sure and firm.

The answer didn't please Kris enough. She sounded sure but her answer wasn't. “Yes or no, Aeri? I need a definite answer for this.” Kris demanded. “ And not one that will please me but what you truly feel. Remember, I won't force you to do anything with me.”

“Well....” This is embarrassing. Aeri thought. talk was one thing but having 'the talk' with a was just embarrassing. “I want to and I think I am ready but the thought of the action is kinda scary.” She truthfully spoke. “I know it's silly but I heard a lot of horror stories and I really don't know what to expect.”

Aeri's friends had always told her their horror stories of their first time. From how much it hurt, to bleeding, to then being sore the next day.

“What if I can almost guarantee no pain?” Kris spoke up after a minute of silence, his mind running wild as he thought of different ways he could assure his girlfriend during their first time. She mulled over her boyfriend's words carefully. “….Then I would love to share the experience with you. I trust an
