Purity Novels & Stories

Just the faint scent of incense lingering in the air and the soft tick of the old clock in the vestry. “I am not blaming you, Angela,” I answered calmly. “I am telling you the truth. You cannot claim to be righteous for a sin you have never been tempted by. That is not virtue. That is ignorance.” Her lips parted. A small, incredulous breath escaped. “So because I have not acted on every stray thought, I am ignorant? Because I have kept myself pure—” “You have not kept yourself pure,” I interrupted gently. “You have simply avoided the battlefield. Purity is not the absence of temptation.

Jonathan chirped in response, eyeing them in the rearview mirror. Purity was nervous. Even now, what had happened in the shower with Tener lingered in her thoughts. It felt so good to be touched, but truthfully it was nothing more than that. She wasn’t drawn to Tener with her heart. The physical attraction was extensive. She had always been a sucker for guys with long hair. But that was all. “Oh, Purity, before I forget, do you like romantic thrillers? Such as in films?” Jonathan’s random question caught her off guard, but she nodded, “Yes, I do! Why?”

There was nothing rational about that. “Tell me. Why do they think that I am this pure heart? My heart is far from it.” “Not pure in a literal sense.

I told you it’s a lot to explain.” Penny tilted her head to the side, watching him as he ran his hand through his thick, dark hair. “And you don’t want to explain it to me. Why?”

Sir Rios was about to speak when someone raised his hand. "Sir Why can't they love their kind? Does that mean they have no freedom to love whoever their heart desires? That's so cruel." Everyone who heard agreed. "Well, that's their way of keeping their purity. Because when they love someone like them they will be tainted by evil. The purity they kept on protecting was going to lose. Their purity symbolizes their kind and it's precious to them. That is their rule we should respect it” sir Rios explained Purity? Huh! That's insane! Every kind has darkness within them
