Given my still-rampant teenage hormones, and lack of practical sexual experience, it wasn't going to be easy.I whispered into Rillnam's ear, "We'll ma...e this work. Whatever it takes, I'll find a way that won't hurt you."She looked up at me with an expression I wasn't able to recognize, but her voice tones sounded hopeful as she said, "Thank you.
