Zula wondered, why would Ron mention the possibility that she does not like his kisses? And then she realized that maybe he thinks she does not like it because she is… stiff.
Ron told himself to stop kissing her. No matter how cute she is and how soft her lips are and how willing she is, she is a teenage girl and he needs to take it slow.
But how can he know what slow is? He has no idea what a relationship is! His first 'experience' was when his stepmother entered the bathroom while he showered with an excuse of bringing in fresh towels and she shoved her tongue down his throat while guiding his hand inside her panties and then she touched him… everywhere. That was many years ago, yet it's still fresh in his mind like it happened yesterday, and he is doing his best not to think about it. He does not want to think about that or any other time that despicable woman came near him!
