There can be love under so many shades.

Elijah,
"Was there anything you didn't like doing?" I asked. "You can tell me. We have to be honest with each other or else this isn't going to work out, Dahkota." I said.

[lauren.]

Dahkota,
"I..."I trailed off as my face was hot. What if I told him I'm a virgin? He'd completely change his mind and say never. I ran a hand through my hair and shrugged,"I'm.."Why was I so embarrassed to tell him?

[haileyjordan]

Elijah,
I raised my eyebrow, "Dahkota, we aren't going to get anywhere if you keep stuttering. Whatever is said in the house stays here." I didn't see what the big deal was.

[lauren.]

Dahkota,
I took a deep breathe then let it out,"Im a virgin,"I said quickly as I shut my eyes tightly. After a moment I opened my eyes to see his reaction, which of course couldn't be good.

[haileyjordan]

Elijah,
I stared at her, my mouth open, completely frozen, and very pale. I then shut my eyes for a moment, taking it all in before I open them again, becoming angry as I glared at her. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me?" I growled.

[lauren.]

Dahkota,
Holy fuck. He's angry. I glanced around realizing that it was most likely just us in this place. So if he killed me, no one would no. I shrunk back into the seat,"You never asked?"I squeaked out.

[haileyjordan]

Elijah,
I paced up and down the study, running both my hands through my hair. "Well earlier would've been a good time to let me know," I snapped as I pressed my mouth into a hard line. "I knew you were inexperienced, but I never knew you were a virgin! Goddamn Dahkota..." I groaned. "Have you ever been kissed, apart from me?"

[lauren.]

Dahkota,
I sat up straighter as he said this,"Of course I have,"I said as I watched him pace. I don't understand why he's flipping out. Is it obvious that I'm inexperienced? Of God, that's embarrassing!

[haileyjordan]

Elijah,
"And no one's swept you off your feet yet Dahkota? You're twenty-one, almost twenty-two, and you're drop dead gorgeous." I said, running my fingers through my hair again. I furrow my brows together, "Please tell me how you've avoided sex."

[lauren.]

Dahkota,
I flushed deep red at his words,"I just have..."I said shrugging. Elijah Grey thinks I'm gorgeous? Hot hell.

[haileyjordan]

Elijah,
I sighed as I shook my head, "I'm just upset with myself. I automatically assumed..." I looked down, then back at her. "Do you want to leave?" I asked, softly.

[lauren.]

Dahkota,
Do I want to leave? Hell, I should. Take my sanity and run. I shook my head,"Do you want me to leave?"I asked looking at him fully now.

[haileyjordan]

Elijah,
"Not at all. I like having you here Dahkota." I frowned. "It's really hard to stay away from a girl like you," I added.

[lauren.]

Dahkota,
I furrowed my eyebrows slightly,"A girl like me?"I said as I looked away then back at him. "What's that supposed to mean?"

[haileyjordan]

Elijah,
"You intrigue me Dahkota. There's something about you that makes me curious. It makes it hard for me. You're a very beautiful woman." I said as I watched her with icy eyes.
