This was wrong, Ferra knew it deep in her heart, and yet she was still there, skulking about the library like some common villainous whore, clutching the book as she looked for a quiet corner to read in. She'd heard some of the other girls in class talking about this book and she was so curious that she'd been having bizarre and upsetting dreams and maybe, just maybe if she read the thing she could move on with her life.
Shakily, she sat down and stared at the book, taking a deep breath to steel her nerves. She would read this dirty book, about kissing and boys and stupid drivel like that, and she would surely find it awful, and that would be that. At least, that was Ferra's goal. After one more nervous look around she curled up in the large plush chair in the quiet corner she'd found, knees up to hide the cover of the book from any prying eyes, and she flipped it open to start.
The main "hero" was some terrible rich lordling and that set a sour tone for the book for her. Clearly this was all lies, he was too rich to care about some kitchen worker, his charming attitude was probably all lies. He certainly wasn't going to fight his family for a servant girl. But still she kept reading, and somehow found herself just completely absorbed in how he kept holding her, kept kissing her, and then suddenly they were removing clothes and Ferra bit her lip.
She was completely oblivious to the outside world, so when she heard someone clear their throat she almost jumped out of the chair entirely, slamming the book shut as she tried to cover it with her hand. "Nothing! I'm not doing anything!"
