This story takes place in the Perfect Beginning Universe. It makes brief mention of Michele's work.
The terms, "boy(s)" and "girl(s)" are used to refer to characters over the ages of 18 years. All characters featured herein are well beyond the threshold of legal age for sex.
For me, first time is always the most exciting. Compounding the excitement is the anxiety experienced when at least one character realizes that they are not the person they thought they were.
This story takes place in a very male dominant society, one which is even more patriarchal than our own. Pete comes to realize that as he falls under Allison's spell, he does not measure up to societal expectations. These two young people are discovering and becoming as they grow together as a couple.
Psychological conflict and tension are central themes in this story.
*
The following is an outline of how this society operates. The Perfect Beginning provides a slightly more comprehensive description of the universe.
* People are legal adults at 18 years of age.
* People usually live to about 2,000 years of age.
* The cultural norm has almost all legal adults living with their family of origin until they turn 200 years old.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 are treated as and referred to as children when they choose to continue living with their parents.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 often behave much as we would expect teenagers to behave here in our world. They are kept in a state of arrested emotional development.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 years customarily consume "blockers" which prevent them from having sexual feelings or impulses.
* Some young people will begin to "date" around 160 yers of age and while they are expected to continue to take their blockers, some will surreptitiously stop taking them while a few will stop responding to them.
* Age and masculinity are revered in this world. Everybody looks up to their elders and few seriously question the patriarchy.
All characters in the story are over 18 years of age.
It is customary for those below the age of 200 to demonstrate their status by wearing clothing which signify to others that they are off limits. They would wear what we would think of as children's clothing. Remember, an 18 year old and a 1,900 year old would look exactly the same age, so children's clothes are very useful for signaling to those over 200 years to abstain from any romantic or sexual pursuit of another who was deemed of an inappropriate age.
Lastly, sex is not technically illegal for people between the ages of 18 and 200 years. It is considered profoundly taboo. Adult-children (18+) do have sex but it is kept very quiet. Some parents punish their children for engaging in this sinful pleasure and adult-children almost never tell-on one another in this regard, even those who might not like one another. Adult children live by a code and violation of said code subjects one to complete ostracization. Almost none experiment until they are well over 160 years old.

Allison was at peace. She was moving in a direction with Peter that was to her liking and she was very much at ease with the process. Being at peace was Allison's default setting. Perhaps just a girl, but she had been around for 123 years, and in that time, she'd gained some self awareness.
Her mother Carol had encouraged her to consider certain options as though she were an adult.
Too, she was pretty. Men mostly stayed away, but she caught them leering as much as she cared to. Mostly she liked that they wanted her. It felt nice and as it should be. Also she was pleased that despite their attraction, they kept their distance.
And he stays behind the fence. Good boy.
She was off her blockers and felt safe so she could focus on the pleasure of being wanted. Often it aroused her when she felt their attraction in part because everybody knew she was off limits.
She liked to be the beautiful girl they wanted, while she hunted for her own boys.
Allison had all the advantages.
It's so much better to be a girl.
Even though the world saw her as "just a girl," she knew she could get any guy she wanted.
And she knew what she wanted. She'd read the Lanza books and took everything from them that she related to and wanted for herself. With her looks, brains and disposition, it was easy for her to get it too.
And she was a girl in all of this. Despite her profound sexuality, she was viewed by society as a girl and she liked viewing herself the same way. Even when enjoying adult pleasure, she did so as a girl. Being a girl was always, in her mind, central to the pleasure she took from it all. She was a big girl. She was a girl who felt and projected as a preternaturally mature girl. She was a very conservative, dignified, proper, good-girl. Allison was proud of herself for being so fundamentally good.
Above all else, she enjoyed being a mature, self possessed good-girl who broke, controlled and used men. She enjoyed showing them that despite all they might have believed about themselves as men, they were just little boys to her. She got off on killing their sense of themselves as men. She wanted to see the light go out in their eyes as she took this from them. She wanted them to know this was done to them by a girl. In this endeavor too, she took tremendous pride.
Allison was an extraordinarily prideful girl.
Girls like Allison, girls that went to church and got good grades understood what it meant to be good. And Allison expected her boys to be very well behaved, good boys who lived in accordance to her rules. Adhering to her rules would, by definition, make them good boys.
Maintaining a good boy was just another point of pride for her.
Over the years, she'd broken several men. And she adored using them for her convenience and pleasure. She greatly enjoyed leaving them broken too. She saw to it that these boys were devoted to her to the point of addiction. And then she smilingly left them standing in a pool of their own tears.
"Oh, I'm sorry, little boy but it can't be helped. Poor baby...Oh no. I might even enjoy it, but no. If I gave you even one more spanky, even a goodbye spanky, it would only encourage you...No sweetie, you cleaned our home thoroughly just yesterday. We are all good on that front. I've found a new boy who will be taking over your responsibilities... That's a firm 'no.' Mother is finished with you as well. Can't be helped. I'm afraid this is goodbye for good...Now don't start crying again (giggling.) Okay now, bye-bye."
Over the course of decades, she'd broken teachers, fathers of some of her friends, boys from school and even the paster at church.
