She smiled, “There is a long path before us which neither of us knows where it ends. I prefer the path to be filled with passion and pleasure. I am ...nable to predict the future any more than you are. I placed myself under your control, Steve. The decision is yours.”I nodded and we sat silently until it was time to get out. I adjusted the controls and we donned our robes and went up to my bathroom to shower. We stood under the cool spray together, then dried off, dressed, and went to the kitchen. I love it when shes happy. After we ate, we decided it was move time. Laura asked what I wanted to watch and I said whatever she wanted to. I think she took that to heart a little as she decided to watch The Fast and the Furious. It was only around 2 so we had plenty of time to hang out after the movie finished. She had a PS3 so I challenged her to a game of 1 on 1 in NBA Live. She said yea. I chose the Heat and she chose the Cavaliers. It was the closest game Id ever played. Shed been. And some of them really looked good. I’d been engaged in ‘friendly conversation’ with a couple of them in Ashland, but in Seattle, it seemed like any time I was alone, an attractive woman would work her way into my line of sight, primp a little, smile at me, and finally when I didn’t respond, saunter away. And the thing is that I really wasn’t interested. Maybe I wasn’t ... Dad called it ‘whipped’ ... with Daphne the way I was with CeeCee, but I loved her and I really had no interest in anyone. The next evening, Clitecka called me again, and asked me if I got the pictures. “Yes I did, Clitecka. They’re beautiful! But sweetheart, you shouldn’t have done this. If your mother ever found out…” She begged. She told me that her mother had said it was okay for her to have sex, not just to masturbate. I didn’t really believe that, but I said, “Oh god, I’m going to regret this, but if you want, you can you come over to my apartment Saturday morning, for an hour or two. Don’t let anybody see.
