Amaka I know that you are going to miss me but I will be back for you, babe I will die if you go, you will not come back from me I know all those city girls that like to naked themselves all in the name of dressing we take you away from me, that is the more reason why I say that you should give me your body, at this point is hands we are moving going from our waist to her back and from there you lifted her up into his muscular chest and body and her into the store touching and kissing her everywhere his hands could meet, Amaka try to protest but the sweet aroma from the activity which was taken place was too much for her to resist, she also tried the pushing him but his strong masculine wight protested against her weak well structured body he came more and more on her with the force and power of a man, she could not resist but gave in to his undefendable styles, at that moment she could not think, she knew not what the environment was like all she could ever pray for was for him to give it to her , with his strategic kisses ,at a point amaka felt a sharp kind of pain trying to penetrate through her, she was about to resist but the feeling was heaven she just laid back and have him coming to her at first the pains was kind of much but the pleasure was worth bearing ,in distant time the deed was done and before she could realize it her cloth and his clothes were stained with blood stains , then she got back to a senses and she's screamed Ben what have you don't me I told I don't want this, amaka my dear I'm very sorry I never meant to hurt you please I never knew that you were still a virgin. Amaka stop crying ,I love you, I told you that I did not want you to do it now you have taken away my virginity ,my pride as a woman, Ben my value ,my self-esteem, Ben why, amaka stop crying I will marry you, just go home and clean up. Ben was happy that he has gotten what he always wanted.
