We arrived at his house while it was still raining heavily. A security man opened the gates and let us in.
His house was… a duplex. Very large and luxurious. There was a car park outside, but I couldn't make out how many cars he owned or what types they were.
We ran into the house then he locked the door and turned on the lights.
"It looks smaller than I remember," he said as he led the way.
"Smaller?" I raised a brow, "Adam, your living room is three times the size of my apartment.”
"I've been meaning to ask, and it may seem disrespectful, but are you wealthy?" He asked as we climbed upstairs.
"Middle class really," I shrugged, "Comfortable middle class."
"Ah, got it," he nodded as he opened a door and went in, "This is my bedroom; the bathroom is over there."
"Thank you," I said. I hesitated to take off my clothes but… what the heck. I took them off anyway, "But why the sudden interest in my economic class?"
"Your choice of underwear," he replied and pointed at me.
I looked down to see I was in mismatched colors, a yellow bra and black panties.
I picked up one of the pillows from the bed and tossed it at him, but he caught it easily.
"Jerk," I pouted. I headed towards the bathroom, but he stopped me and embraced me.
He let out a sigh, "As I thought...you're really different."
What was this?
There was this rapid heartbeat, but it wasn't my heart. It was his.
Mine was beating as well, but not nearly as fast as his.
"Why's your heart beating so fast, Doctor?" I asked him.
"The human heart increases its pace whenever emotions run high," he explained, "I don't know why… and you might not believe me, but this is the first time any woman has made me feel this way. It's almost…"
"Unreal," I completed his statement.
He took a step back and looked at me in disbelief.
"To be honest, Doc…. Adam, I don't know if I believe you completely or not but… I get what you're saying. I'm thirty years old but this is the first time I'm feeling this. I don't want to call it love though," I explained, "Maybe it’s just a mammalian instinct to mate after so many years of abstaining or preventing."
"Mate? You want to mate?" He asked as he held my shoulders.
"I… I don't… I don't know," I looked away.
It was a lie though…I definitely knew. Ever since I had touched his erection, I wondered how it would feel inside me.
It was all I could think about.
And I wasn't sorry for thinking that way.
But I still couldn't tell him exactly what I was feeling. I didn't want him to think I was an easy woman. That had been my only issue with all this.
"Crystal, can I kiss you?" He requested.
"But I'm cold," I said, although I was already leaning towards him for the kiss.
