When she felt the dress completely slide off her body, her hands trembled as she shyly held them between her legs, trying to hide her body. She wasn't sure why, but she experienced a slight sense of shame in that moment. The society as a whole would feel it was wrong for two men to be married and about to make love.

Corina wanted the intimacy badly, but she suddenly was frozen with fear.
