at him hard enough.
Sex had never been that big a deal for
her. It was usually too fast for her to orgasm, and there was no way she could
have shared the secrets of her trusty vibrator with her few serious boyfriends.
She had always found it easy to turn guys down. Plus, she had to admit, she
sort of liked being pursued.
So when Hunter texted her, she was
really glad. It read: Morning! I hope you feel good today.
Laughing, she had to text back: No
I’m a bad girl, remember?
Yes you are ,
he texted right back. And I’m the one who figured it out. You remember that.
I had fun last night ,
she texted.
So did I. How about dinner tomorrow night,
after work? I should be done with the demo crew by 6.
Kali hugged herself. He was asking her
out again! He did want her. Even if it was only for kinky sex games.
Well, she could do with a few more kinky
sex games if they were all like that. Except she wanted the sex part, too. Now
that she had gotten her feet wet, she was ready for a dunking. Their scene last
night blew everything else she’d ever done out the window, and she was ready
for more.

Later on, while she was doing her
laundry and staring off into space, thinking about how gorgeous Hunter was and
how he could get any girl he wanted, he sent her another text: Do you have a
private email where I can send you a note? Not work-related.
She gave him her gmail account –
KaliKaliKali. Then she kept checking the browser on her phone until his email
popped up. It was from his usual address.

After a few minutes her phone pinged and

If you’re going to be that short, we
could have texted!
Tell me what you really want. Unless
you’d rather sit down over dinner tomorrow and discuss it? But you seemed
uncomfortable talking about it, so I thought it would be easier for you to put
your thoughts down in an email.

Well, if he wanted a real email, he
would have to wait for it. She wasn’t going to tap out something incoherently on
her phone. So she closed the browser on her phone and sat back to think about
it. What did she want? A career, a husband who was a partner in life, a nice
home and two kids so they would each have a sibling, unlike her.
But in the short term, she wasn’t sure.
She wanted to leave the door open so she could see Hunter again.
As soon as she got home, she sat down
with her laptop without even putting her laundry away. At first she tried to
write out why she wanted to see him again even though it was so out of
character for her to pursue casual sex. But all she kept coming up with was: he
smells so good. I like the way his hands feel on me. I want more….
So she went back to his original
question – what do I want? She tried to write it out so that her idea of
the perfect relationship could be stretched to fit this situation. But when she
read back her few tortured sentences, it was not right.
Kali went and put her laundry away. The
soothing routine chore put her back into the proper frame of mind. He said she had
to be honest with him. And the truth would come out regardless.
So she sat down and wrote it out in a
stream of consciousness, not letting her doubts or fears stop her:
I want a man I can trust and depend on,
someone who will be there in the hard times and laugh with me in the
