“Now back to your lady friend. One: She’s totally hot. Nicely done.” I nod in agreement.

“Two: If the hot doctor looks like her, you need to fix me up.” I shake my head no. “I figured. Can’t blame a guy for trying. Three: She’s funny. Nice that she had a good sense of humor about this morning. It could have gone very wrong the other way.”

“Yes, she’s very funny. I love her sense of humor.”

His eyes soften as he moves on with his list. “Four: Happiness looks good on you, Dad. I’ve never seen you like this with anyone, including Mom. I hope it works out for you guys.” I get a little emotional at that. This is the first time my son has seen me in a happy relationship. It makes me proud. I hug him.

DARIAN

I ride home from Jackson’s with a big smile on my face. I know it’s cheesy, but he’s kind of dreamy. I like how uncensored he is. It’s nice. I also like that I got to help him fulfill the top fantasy item on his list. I’d like to do some more of that. It was hot as hell.

As we enter my driveway, I see Cassandra’s car. I walk inside and announce, “Honey, I’m home.”

“In here with your coffee, sweet tits.” I follow her voice to my family room. She’s sitting on my couch watching TV. Nice of her to let herself in and make herself comfortable.

“There you are. Where have you been young lady? I was up all night, worried sick about you.” She smirks. “Oh, I know where you were. You were with James Bond getting fucked senseless. I’m so proud of you. All grown up and shit.” We both laugh. She hands me my coffee.

“By the way, I got fucked senseless too. That Ethan guy acts all prim and proper, but he’s a freak. And you know how much I dig freaks.”

“Ooh. Tell me more.”

“After the Hospital event ended, thanks for just leaving by the way, he took me to a voyeur club called Club Yeur.”

“What does that mean?”

“It’s a club where you can watch people fuck, be watched fucking, or some combination thereof. We did all of the above. It was hot.”

“Just when I think I’m adventurous, you come in and make me feel like a sixteen-year-old virgin.”

“What did you do? When I left, he was all weepy and apologetic about your porn show on the dance floor.”

“It was not a porn show. We were just kissing.”

“You were not just kissing. You were seconds away from being penetrated. Whatever. What did you do?”

“We fucked our brains out in the limo. It was really good. Then we took a bath together. Then we went at it again for half of the night. After two orgasms in the limo, I told him that I can often get up to three or four while having sex. He took it as a personal challenge and gave me five more.”

“Seven orgasms last night?” I nod. “Wow. That’s a great night. I don’t think I could get that high.”

“It’s a gift. I’m very talented.” I flash her a big overexaggerated smile. “How did you leave things this morning with Ethan?”

“This morning? I don’t do sleepovers, babe. Since my last divorce, the only person I’ve ever woken up to in the morning is you.” She’s so damaged. Getting screwed over by men her whole life has irrevocably damaged her. I’m sad for my friend, but she loves her life as it is. “After I grabbed my flash drive at the club last night, I hightailed it out of there.”

“Flash drive?”

“For an extra few bucks, they record you and give it to you on a flash drive. You know I couldn’t resist that. Speaking of recording, I can’t believe you told him about my video collection.”

I clench my face. “I’m sorry. It sort of slipped when he asked me why we call youCrazy Cassandra. I feel terrible about it. I shouldn’t have betrayed your trust like that. It was wrong.”

“Whatever. I don’t really care that much. It’s forgotten.” She’s the best. “How are things otherwise with the dashing Mr. Knight?”

“Good. Really good. He’s so loving and affectionate. The fact that he fucks like a beast doesn’t hurt. He makes me feel good. And he’s so open and honest. He kind of lays it all on the table. No games. He’s made it clear that he’s into me and wants to see me. I obviously have no dating experience, but it seems to me that someone so open is a bit unusual.”

“I can promise you from firsthand experience that a man who is straightforward and honest is in fact unusual.” She thinks for a moment. “Does this mean that my sex fiend, nympho best friend Darian is back in town?”

“I think it might.” We cheers our coffee cups.
