Purity

What happens when a shy virgin raised in purity culture asks her gorgeous, player best friend to take her V-card?

I''ve been in love with Cole Walker since the first day he walked into class and sat beside me. How could I not? Six foot five, gorgeous, and a sweetheart to boot. He''s charming enough to get any girl he wants.

The plan was to make him fall in love with me, get married, and give him all my firsts.

Too bad for me, he''s never once looked at me that way. Brought up in purity culture, I don''t know how to flirt. I''ve been stuck in the friend-zone for years.

It''s time to move on and start living my life. This summer, I''m going to ask him to take my V-card with no strings attached.

But when I tell Cole my request, his reaction is not what I expect. He''s furious and over-the-top protective. He won''t touch me, but apparently no one else can either? It doesn''t make any sense.

Until we share a kiss that makes the world stand still, and I begin to wonder...maybe I''ve misread him all along.
