Chapter 35 You First

• Valerie's POV
• I knew that Klaus was holding back, and I was thankful for it. As much as my body craved to have him right now, the image of Ronald was still there at the back of mind. It still reminded me how horrible and scary sex could be. But with Klaus, I felt safe. He said he would never hurt me, and I believed him.
• Even though I felt a little scared, his kisses, his touches still left me wanting more. I could not control my yearning and desire for him, and now that he was finally inside of me, I felt... It was wholesome.
