Walking off the small blue metal bus, Sophie looked up at the crimson building in front of her. Cracks were evident in the tattered red paint whilst the bookshop itself appeared to be abandoned. Taking a deep breath, Sophie walked up the smooth stone steps, advancing towards the red wooden door. With a slight push, the door creaked open and the sound of a small bell dinged above her.
"Sophie is that you?" Her aunt Bella chimed in a honey toned voice. Peering from behind the counter, aunt Bella looked Sophie from head to toe behind her thick rimmed glasses.
"Don't worry sweetie, we will get you into routine in no time"

"Louis," I began "Yes?" a shiver ran down my spine as his lush voice filled my ear. "If you're not human, then what are you?" I finished "Guess." He whispered, a breath escaped my chest as he nibbled the edge of my ear. "Louis," I grabbed his shoulders and pulled away from him, "This is serious, I truly want to know."

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.
