A/N: Sorry for the long delay, but don't worry, there's a few chapters coming out all at once. Hope everyone hasn't forgotten about the story. Thanks for the great reviews!
Ruthie shifted, restlessly, in her bed. Her covers were tangled, making all the thrashing she was doing difficult. Good thing Ruthie was unaware, lost in her unsettled slumber.
Ruthie was lying on her back, Martin on top of her, only the slightest bit of cloth separating their eager bodies. In her mind, Ruthie knew that it was wrong, but her body was telling a different tale.
She remembered hearing Martin; he was giving her an out. She also remembered pulling him back down on top of her, sampling another of Martin's wonderful, intoxicating kisses. She felt light-headed, but never wanted the feeling to end. Martin's muscular body encased her, protecting her to a fault. How could this be wrong?
"Do you want to stop?" Martin asked between short breaths.
Ruthie looked into Martin's loving eyes and saw heaven, she was sure of it. Was this a sign from God? Was He telling her that this was right for her?
"Don't…stop," Ruthie whispered shyly.
Ruthie awoke in a sweat, letting out a large sigh. She wondered if Martin was suffering the way she was. He always seemed so logical and clear-headed. Ruthie, on the other hand, felt like her body was going to burst into flames every time Martin came into her line of vision.
Ruthie lay in her roughed-up bed, staring at the ceiling. Tonight was the prom. Martin's graduation. This night was going to be so special, Ruthie just knew it. She looked over at her dress, hanging behind her door, and smiled. She loved the way she looked in that dress. Even more important, she loved the way Martin would think she looked in that dress.
Usually Ruthie loved being a Camden. Today, Ruthie was wishing she was just an everyday teenager, with parents who didn't quite care so much. Then maybe she would be allowed to stay out all night. Then maybe she could finally be with Martin the way she'd been wanting for so long.
But, Ruthie was a Camden…
