He hesitated for a moment, then: Id like that…but not right away, okay? She nodded against his chest. I found out something I needed to know, but di...nt know I needed to know. Meaning? Ive been with other women since we met. I know. And I always came back to you — I chose you. Understand? He held her tighter. And now you know that even with two sexy women there, craving me and me craving them, that I choose you. He sighed. I think maybe I was unsure of my self-control in that spot — maybe thats. I let him know when he could put his arm aroundme, or kiss me and when I would be free for him to take me to a cafe or toa movie. I let him get close to me strictly on my terms, at my pace. Itpleased me that he was so passive, in some ways. That he always seemedhappy with what he was given, and never asked for more, excited me and,perversely, made me want to give him more. Intimacy with me was a giftthat I gave freely and he was always so thankful and grateful that it wasalways a pleasure. And don't I know you from someplace?" She thrust her chest out a bit. The girl is a pro. "I could make it... worth your while not to say anything..." She wiggled her hips."My while's worth an awful lot... BUT I like Sam. What can I say. He's a stud." No way... I'm not going with that. Get me in all the fucking trouble you want. I don't care. Leave them out of it. Say they ran off or something." Sammy, I can't do that, man. I mean, you're clearly on with these ladies, but, man, I'm in enough. I had never had too much trouble getting first dates, or even getting lucky after a first date, but most of the women I had gone out with were not cyclists, so they just never ‘got’ it. Plus, I was racing professionally, which meant that I spent a lot of time on the road. And let’s face it; unless you’re Lance, you really don’t have groupies in bike racing. So, women generally said things like “Hmm, that’s nice...” or “My how interesting...”, but they really only said it in an effort to fill.
