Free The Forbidden: A Huntress Novel (The Huntress Series Book 1) by Adria Wade Page B

red? What exactly happened to your bra?” She gasped. “It has something to do with sex and I know it does because you wouldn’t get all flustered and uncomfortable if it wasn’t.”
    I stomped my foot on the floor. “Isaac and I were in the woods-”
    She gasped. “You had sex outside?!”
    “I lost my virginity outside. It was dark in the woods so no one saw. Anyway I couldn’t find my bra after that.”
    She giggled. “I can’t believe this. How come you never told me about your first time?”
    “You never asked and you never told me about your first time with whoever it was with.”
    She scowled. “You make it sound like I am a slut.”
    “Oh no, I wasn’t calling you a slut. I know before Taylor came along you were in two previous relationships.”
    “Well I was seventeen when I lost my virginity and it was with Taylor. He was the only guy I actually fell in love with. He took me to his father’s cabin where we had dinner and he gave me flowers…it was really nice.”
    “Oh, well when you tell me about your first time it makes mine seem so-”
    “Athena, there is nothing romantic about having sex in the woods. Your first time seemed like it was a spur of the moment thing,” She cut in.
    I shrugged. “Well it kind of was. We had just finished hunting and he told me that he loved me. He kissed me and it went a little too far after that—too far for my liking, but that was my fault because I could’ve stopped him and I didn’t.”     
    I shook my head. “I felt guilty because I didn’t love him and I felt pressured into feeling the same way so I let it happen.”  
    “Well one day you will find someone who you fall head over heels in love with.”
    I smiled. “I hope so.”
    She had no idea that I was falling for Lucas. He was irresistible, but I could never tell Chelsea this, best friend or not. I know she wouldn’t approve of  me loving a vampire.
    “You are in love with Taylor then?”
    Her brows furrowed. “Of course I am why would you ask that?”
    I shrugged. “I thought you guys had a rocky relationship, you broke up twice.”
    “Taylor was having a rough time forgiving his mom and then he was having trouble keeping his sister out of trouble and well that didn’t work out well. It wasn’t the best time for him to be with me. We broke up and I had a rebound to get over him, but when we got back together, Taylor had found out about my little fling and he got angry and jealous and ended it again. After months of not talking to me and dating other people he finally decided that he wanted to be with me again.”
    “He wanted you back because he saw you all over Zach, didn’t he?”
    She smiled. “He gets very jealous and that is the reason why I was all over Zach.”
    I giggled and shook my head. “Ah, the jealousy.”
    I started to strip off my clothes. “Do you have a bra I could borrow?”
    “Yes, oh and wear a pair of your wedges, they will look good with your pants. Put on your leather jacket also, you look hot and badass in it”
    “Hey, I kill vampires for crying out loud, I think I’m badass without the leather jacket.”
    “You’re right, but still wear it.”
    I grinned. “Chelsea, my own personal stylist.”

    I quickly walked deeper into the woods, careful not to trip over a rock or a log in these shoes. I’m still not used to wearing heels that often, so it takes me a few minutes to get used to them. I was already running late, so I had no time to do my hair. Thank goodness I was having a good hair day and was able to run a brush through it without having to throw it up in a ponytail from frizz. My hair is frizz-free, a little wavy, but it still looks good.
         Lucas was sitting on a fallen tree; he too had on a leather jacket. Which only made him look even more desirable than he already was. I bit down on my lip to try to prevent myself from smiling. I was excited to see him, but I didn’t want him to know that. After all, I told him there
