"We could," she said, now gazing directly into my eyes as I glanced at her."Been to that motel before?" I probed again."Not that one, but ones like it..." she said, frankly."Sure," I said, cool and casual. "I got some time to kill." Good," she said, with a slight smile. "It's right over there, the next left."I turned down a side street and in a few blocks we came to this nondescript motel."Here. You don't mind getting the room, do you?" she said, taking a wallet from her purse and handing me two. You wanted me to try harder." Well... that's not *exactly* what I had in mind, angel." Well," I said, simply, "that's... right now, that's all I know." Oh," she said forgivingly. "Well then... what's next?" I want to kiss you." Kiss me?" Yeah. Kiss me, you fool."She looked at me blankly. Perhaps she realized, as I did, that we had never truly, romantically kissed.I prompted, "Alright?" Well... sure. I guess so." You sure?" Why wouldn't I be sure?" She frowned. "What are you going to do?" Kiss. "Jason did another quick check of the website and found that there was a distributor in Cincinnati. "I deal with this supplier from time to time. I would think we could get them to ship whatever you want overnight. Delivery won't be a problem." In fact, I should have a good working relationship with their sales manager. Her name is Heidi Westerback, and I knew her years ago when we were teenagers and both of us lived in Xenia."Jason paused, and it was obvious that he was doing some thinking as. In the last chapter, I had left a note under my panties that I had a story to tell. I had Rick sign on to his account so I could use it. I wanted to maintain continuity with his other stories since this one is related. He wanted to stay but I shooed him out of the room. He'll get to read it when you do. I also took off my panties, handed them to him, and told him to "make a contribution to the cause." (Can't wait to get them back.) So, right now I'm sitting here in my robe with nothing on.
