Michelle is a sales rep for a large winery based out of the Hudson Valley She flies pretty inally froh and keeps a permanent aparto Fucked her at that same party, as a matter of fact, and thus started a sort of friends-with-benefits type of relationship We don't get to see each other often; maybe every few et together, we tear it up nicely between the sheets Plus, she's a really cool chick Solass of wine, in her case Our no-strings relationship was clearly defined early on and we operate on a "don't ask, don't tell" policy Still, when Michelle's in town, she's reat in the sack and has no aspirations of anything more

Before I can text her back, she sends another Up for some company soon?

Ordinarily, I'd respond immediately without, butthe screen I hold my position and stare at her words Mywells up within me

What the fuck? I've got the next three days cleared before I fly out I like to fuck I really like to fuck Michelle What's with the doubt?

And before I can even fathoh er Valethe one I loved Wild dark hair, facial piercings shining, a look of utter deviousness in her eyes that never failed to get me hard

I shake e

It's an illusion A memory that should be faded and not Technicolor It's of a wo up residence in my conscience like that

I force myself to text back to Michelle Can you fly in to a team party but I'll clear everyone out early

I ith a feeling of anxiety for her response, praying she accepts Hoping she will show up onsexy ain like that My heartbeat is racing in anticipation, and when her reply comes, I'm stunned at how I feel

Can't this weekend But s

Relief Fucking relief that she's not co

What the ever-loving fuck is going on withon ht No business She should be nothing to me other than a friendly acquaintance

And yet, I still find et to Dave's

--

I glance at ain

It's 10:45 pm and Vale still hasn't shown up I've resolutely refused to ask Dave about her whereabouts, and besides, he fell asleep in his recliner going on two hours ago That happened not long after we ate some chicken tortilla soup that Vale had ht him, while I sucked back three Molsons

The football game is almost over and I'll have no reason to stay when it's done This sucks, because I' so late Does she even get to eat dinner?

My heart about lurches out of hter on the couch, prepared to see a probably exhausted Vale walk through the door

Instead, a radiant woman walks in A different Vale than I've seen in her tidy Cold Fury AT unifor, loose, and curled into soft waves She's wearing ray striped cotton skirt that flutters around her knees and a white T-shirt, but she looks utterly feminine and sexy Her head twists over her shoulder to look at sohs "That's so not true I'll make you pay for that"

And then I see aback at her with utter devotion in his eyes She twists back to face us and her eyes iuy runs into her back His hands co her over, and I have a sudden rush of hatred toward this guy I want to rip his hands away and break every fingerat least twice

Vale's gaze slides to her dad and herShe looks back to 's he been out?"

"Since the end of the first quarter," I whisper back, and stand up from the couch

"I rumble, and I look down at him His eyes are open but a little bleary He leans forward and puts his recliner back in the nor position

Dave then stands up, gives a cough to clear his throat, and leans past Vale with his arm extended The dude steps forward and accepts Dave's handshake
