Chapter Twelve Mandy woke up suddenly. She blinked and looked around until he realized he was at home, in her bed. As she moved, her aching body reminded her of the magical night she had with Ryan, who, after officially asking her to be his girfriend, surrendered with her to passion in the most beautiful way that a man and woman could demonstrate their feelings. She smiled. She was truly a woman and never, even in her dreams, imagined that her first time would be like this. She always heard that she would feel pain, a lot of pain. That it would be unpleasant, bleed and that there was a high chance that the boy with whom he shared that first experience would not appreciate her after that. With Ryan it had been just the opposite. Yes, she felt a little bit of pain, but nothing unbearable.
