The first part had been the sex, physically satisfying, everything I'd hoped it would be. That was pretty much what I'd expected. The emotional connec...ion was very unexpected. Never having experienced that before, it was somewhat overwhelming. I wondered if it would always be a part of our lovemaking. It scared me a little, mostly because it threw all of my plans right out the window. I was no longer bartering with Kate's friend, someone who I loved only the idea of. I didn't know if I could. There are just too many companies with a lot of money and clout. They'll keep the people they have."The next part had to be backed up so I said, "The corporation made close to $90,000. I may have flooded the music market but I should be able to sell a few dozen songs per year. If I'm known for good work then my price may go up. That still relates to $50,000, and not enough to support that number of men when equipment and supplies are factored in. My novels and movies may fill the gap although. And even then I wasn’t looking for a lasting relationship; I was just needing to get laid. Lasting relationships just didn’t seem to work for me.Carol and I had gone steady from the eighth grade until high school graduation. During the summer before we started college she semi-broke up with me. Said she felt the need to date other guys; make sure I was the guy she was supposed to be with. I say semi-broke broke up with me because she said she still intended to date me. I was still going to be. Lieutenant Richard Driscoll looked over at Sammy O'Rourke and saw a weird look in her eyes."Sammy, we'd better go help. There are a lot of them to move, plus I want all the equipment and weapons brought in. We may need them."Standing there, Richard watched her blink, and then she nodded her head at him."Yes, Sir," Sammy said as she shook her head.She went out into the hallway, passing Ensign Kyo and another private as they carried one of the wounded in. Going over to Kevin, she picked him up.
