I remember he was sort of handsome
distinguish looking in a way,
soft spoken.
Offered me wine.
At fourteen this made me feel grownup.
Then he showed me pictures.
First of naked woman.
Then of boys and men.
Nervously I wondered as I fingered through them.
What in Gods name did I get myself into here?
As his front door seemed to move further away.
With each sip and picture I glanced at.

Ooh. I love this.
"At fourteen this made me feel grown up."
This is a topic that may be considered awkward to some, but for someone like me I love reading it. The situation with the boy and girl is very real and happens too often. Men love to lure innocent virgins to take away their purity - and they appeal to them by expressing themselves sweetly. In this case, the man gave her wine, which attracted her to him. I love how you wrote this in the point of view of someone who knows this situation well; I just hope this hasn't happened to you.
Good luck <3
