Jasper sighed and rubbed his temples. He knew Ella was innocent, but he had not expected her to be a virgin. He had assumed that Ella had some experience with boys, especially since she had been caught with a boy in her school's bathroom. That was what was written in her background verification report. Was it merely a rumor?
"Are you a virgin?" he asked with astonishment and disbelief.
Ella felt even worse. It was as if he was taunting her for being a virgin. She thought he would be happy and excited, but he seemed shocked as if being a virgin was a crime.
"Yes," she replied, lowering her head and biting her bottom lip.
Jasper understood why she was so nervous. He grew excited when he realized she was ready to offer her virginity to him. It was an overwhelming feeling. His feelings for her grew deeper, and he promised himself that he would cherish her and protect her with his life.
