A Good Little Girl Like You (A Sample)

Friday, September 28

Rebecca and Alice sat at the bar and clinked their

glasses. "To the Road Warriors. We ride again! Well, minus

one founding member."

Alice pulled out her phone. "Let's call her up!"

"No. Come on! She's on her honeymoon. Probably in

bed with Dan right now."

Alice laughed and waved the phone about. "Even more

reason to call her up. She's the only one getting any." She

squinted at Rebecca. "Unless you're getting some Tarzan

action, that is." She howled like a jungle woman, inviting all

the animals into her bed.

I'm getting Tarzan, but still no action. Rebecca blushed,

embarrassed by her lack of progress. Alice wanted juicy

details. Unfortunately after nearly two weeks, they'd still

had only one kiss. Alice was going to be disappointed.

Rebecca summarized. "I've been seeing him. A little."

"A little? How little?" Alice smirked and leaned closer.

"Or should I say, how little is it?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"I don't know yet. Haven't seen it. We've been together a

half dozen times, taking it slow while his jaw heals."

Alice snapped her head and stared, waiting for further

information. When none came, she prompted. "'Jaw heals'?"

"Well. . . he broke his jaw in a bar fight and got it wired

shut. Now he doesn't want to sleep with me until he gets the

wires out." Rebecca wondered why O.E. was so intent on

waiting for his jaw to be unwired. He had made lewd

comments about licking and sucking and eating, but she

had a hard time believing him. The men she'd known didn't

use their mouths that much in bed.

Alice arched an eyebrow. "And when do the wires come

out?"

"Tuesday." Rebecca clamped her legs together just

thinking about it. "He's invited me over for dinner, but we

both know what's really cooking."

Alice burst into a huge smile. "Excellent!" After a few

seconds, the smile slipped discretely off of her face. "So. . .

bar fights? Who is this guy?"

"I'm still not totally sure. A friend of Dan's, I know that

much. In fact, he's staying at Dan's place while they're on

their honeymoon."

"No place of his own? Take that poor boy home and

tuck him into bed!" Alice bounced in her seat, and let her

tongue hang free.

Tempting, but dangerous. "Hey, I said I want his body. I

don't want him to move in with me. There's something

about him that I don't quite get." She looked down briefly.

"He's mysterious. No place of his own. Floats around with

no job and no money. He's got a huge ego but is also

surprisingly sympathetic and easy to talk to. And wow, wow,
