She knows she will die soon so before she dies, she wants to fulfill her one and only wish - to fall in love. She wants to experience loving someone romantically. But under one strange condition- she wants a man who will not fall in love with her because she doesn't want him to suffer when she's gone. She met Alexander Qinn, the coldhearted and mysterious man. He warns her from the start that he doesn't do love and that he is dangerous. But that made him the perfect man for Abigail. He was exactly the kind of man she was looking for. Their completely different worlds collide, Alexander will start to teach the innocent Abigail about sexual pleasure while Abigail will teach him the joy of doing simple things in life. ... He handed her an egg-shaped, pink vibrator and then returned to his spot. The girl blinked again as she examined, with deep curiosity, the pink egg-shaped thing in her hand. "Don't make me wait. Put it inside," the man ordered and Abi swallowed. Abi had no idea whatsoever as to what this thing was. She had never seen anything like this before. She wanted to ask him what this thing was and what he meant by 'put it inside' but the man was so serious, she was afraid she'd fail the test if she showed him that she didn't even know what this was. "Is this clean?" was what she asked instead and the man half-smiled. "It. Is. Very. Clean." He stressed out every word. Still unsure about what to do, Abi hesitantly looked at him and then in the next second, she put it inside her mouth. ******* ●the cover is not mine. all credit belongs to the artist/owner ******* follow me on instagram @author_kazzenlx
