Page 167 reads, “We started kissing again. This time his hands moved up my shirt and unhooked my bra. There wasn’t much room in my little twin bed, but Wesley managed to get my top off and my jeans unzipped in record time. I started to undo his pants, too, but he stopped me. “No,” he said, moving my hand away. “You might not agree with blow jobs, but I have a feeling you’ll enjoy this.” I opened my mouth to argue but shut it quickly as he started kissing down my stomach.

His lips moved lower and lower, and I was surprised by how much I was anticipating their final destination. I’d heard Vicky and even Casey talk about their boyfriends going down on them and how good it felt.
