‘I have no idea how this will turn out, because I’ve never done anything like this before.’ He paused and took a deep breath. ‘Emily, you’re...like drinking water in the desert to me, and I don’t want to let you go. Whatever I’m feeling right now, I love it, and it’s perfect, and I want you to help me sort it out, and I want you to share it with me, and enjoy it the same way. Am I making any sense?’ Ted thought he was rambling. ‘Yeah, I know what you mean,’ she answered thoughtfully. ‘I don’t. I found myself wondering what a prostitutethat looked like me could charge. I had actually used a hooker once,but that was long before I married Gloria. She had charged thirtydollars for a blowjob, fifty for a straight fuck and seventy-five toput it in her ass. I had paid for straight sex. It had been a dry spellbetween girlfriends and I was tired of using my hand. The prostitutethat I had sex with all those years ago could not compare with theimage of the sexy girl in the mirror. The sexy. She still had a way to make everything exciting. Life still felt simple around her.I didn't know how much I missed her until I heard her laughter. Before I realized what I was doing, I burst through the door full of excitement. I couldn't wait to see her smile. But all I saw was her kissing my sister.I just stood there confused, embarrassed, and shocked. I could feel the heat overcome my body and then cooling, like unexpected rain on a sunny day. My sister let out a squeak and sat straight up. I took pity on Mallika. I said that I wanted to take care of her because she was my cousin’s wife. If she would be interested in me sexually that was fine with me, but that it was also fine if she were not. Mallika smiled and said she had become a sexual addict to men like me who treat women like women and that she would have no hesitation in sleeping with me. I became happy and looked at Mallika from a fresh angle. Beneath her docile looks, I knew there was a sexual animal waiting to be.
