Leon and Trill had never shared a bed before. Part of it was because Trill didn't seem ready yet, waiting for her heat to finally hit. Her heat usually came during the winter, so she planned to wait until then to be ready to take Leon. It meant months of waiting, but Leon didn't seem to mind. He was more than willing to wait for her.
Still, it felt like Trill wanted to go for it. When she stayed over in my dorm room for a sleepover, she asked me a bunch of questions about what sex was like and how it felt. I told her the truth—that I had only been with one man, and that man was Leon. I shared about our first time together, how gentle he was with me, and how, even though it hurt at first, that initial pain vanished quickly because of how careful and patient he was. I explained how Leon had this way of making a woman feel so special, which was why so many of us were devoted to him and loved being his. The curiosity in her eyes told me she wanted to experience it for herself.
