My Mate Is A Virgin – Chapter 3

Jasper POV

For the next long seconds, the Luna just stared blankly at me, almost as if she was deciding whether I was being serious or simply telling one of my many jokes.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose in an attempt to organize my thought before glancing at the Luna again. “What if the same thing happens here? What if I reject her and she ends up with someone…better?” The words coming out of my mouth made my heart ache, but I had to say them. I needed to convince her that what I was doing was right.
