Summary
“Your… your first?” He stutters. “Your first time having sex, you mean?” He asks, his voice inching higher.
Lizzy feels the flush climb up her face and is sure she’s as red as a sunset over the ocean. “Forget it,” she mutters, hitching up her dress and preparing herself to run. “You don’t want to, I’m so sorry,” she says before she turns.
Theo’s hand quickly shoots out, grabbing her arm and pulling her back to him.
“I never said I didn’t want to,” he says quickly before dropping his arm.

Lizzy has spent her whole life being kind and doing what is expected of her. She wants to be selfish. Just this once.
