"Yeah, her and a bunch of our friends," Chalise echoed.Cate choose that moment to join the party."Is this bum giving you a hard time about withdrawals..." she asked the poor receptionist."Well yes, he—" That's good, because I've got a whole list of girls and women he hasn't gotten to yet, and there's surely a whole bunch more we'll meet soon, given we have enough time," she enthused.The receptionist started to stammer about something but a professional looking middle aged woman in a doctor's gown. "Tom, I have a proposition for you", she began. "It's been a couple of years since Charlie passed and lately I've been very lonely." I can imagine", I assured her, "I miss him too." That's very kind of you to say, he was a great man." She swallowed the last of her drink and continued, "Since he died I haven't been able to bring myself to looking for another man, but I'm still a woman and I still have needs."I looked her straight in the eyes and told her that she was still a good looking woman. "If you want to know the truth, I liked it when you said I belonged to you," she confessed, her voice almost a whisper."You did?" he asked incredulously, his heart rising in his throat."Yes. I can't believe I didn't even know you two days ago, and I..." she paused, hesitating.He waited for her to continue, stroking her jaw line gently with his finger in silent encouragement."I already feel like I've known you for a long time. I was perfectly happy at the cabin by myself, but now that I've met. I arrived at her house on a hot Friday night. We went out to eat and then went to a movie. Her parents were okay with me spending the night in their house, I just needed to stay in the guest bedroom. We got back from the movie and it was pretty late. I was ready to go to bed. My girlfriend's parents were still awake when we got home and told me that it was okay for me to go to bed but that I just needed to be quiet as granny was spending the weekend with them. She was staying in the room across.
