hips and draw them closer to mine.
    Time stands still as we kiss, until I’m pulling at her hair and rubbing up against her in nearly an animal- like state. She has me so fuckin’ hard, and wanting her so badly.
    “I want to fuck you,” I tell her.
    She pulls away, slowly.
    “Not… yet. Not now.”
    She smooths down her hair but the way she is breathing tells me she’s into it. So what the hell?
    I’m not used to chicks turning me down. Denying me the one thing I want. And I haven’t wanted anyone this bad for a long, long time. Maybe ever.
    “Soon, then,” I tell her, lightly slapping her ass as she reaches for her keys.
    “Yes,” she says, and stands on her tip- toes to kiss me on the chin before retreating into her house.
    Damn. That fucking girl .
    As soon as I’m in the car, I call Jensen.
    “So you called it an early night?” he asks, as soon as he picks up. “Guess it didn’t go as well as you’d hoped?”
    “No, it went fine,” I tell him, feeling strangely elated for some reason. “It was great. Except, she didn’t give it up.”
    “Aww man,” says Jensen, as if he can feel my physical pain. “I remember those days. Oh well, on to the next, right?”
    “She said, ‘soon.’”
    I know I sound like a schoolboy full of unabated hope, but I can’t help it.
    “Uh oh. You know what that sounds like?”
    “I know.”
    “She’s dragging you along. She’s holding out. For a commitment . Or some other crazy reason these chicks have.”
    I sigh. I don’t even care. I just want to see her again.
    Sure, I’ll see her again at my sessions but I want to her look at me like that, and talk to me like that, and kiss me like that. And let me do what I want to her, over and over and over again.
    “Harlow,” says Jensen, snapping me back to reality. “Tell me you aren’t falling for your physical therapist.”
    “I’m not. I mean, I don’t know. I mean…”
    “Harlow! Get a grip.”
    “Oh look who’s talking. You fell for your fucking lawyer.”
    “She wasn’t my lawyer at the time,” Jensen says quickly and defensively.
    But I don’t buy any of his flimsy excuses. Jensen met his now- girlfriend when she was assigned to represent him in a bogus criminal charge. For a while she might not have been his attorney, but that’s just mincing words. I know their history, and he can’t deny it now.
    “Yeah yeah. You’re the pot and I’m the kettle.”
    “Harlow, seriously,” Jensen says, and I can hear it in his voice. “I’m happy for you. And if you manage to bang your physical therapist I’m all for it. But just don’t get too close, emotionally. To a woman who has the power to make you or break you. It really is different than with Riley?”
    “How?”
    “Because this girl knows she has control over the one thing you want the most in the world.”
    “Oh, you mean like Riley did over your freedom ? Whether or not you went to jail ?” I can’t help but laugh.
    “Harlow. I get it. I see your point. But there were a hundred different lawyers I could have turned to if things hadn’t worked out. She is the physical therapist they assigned you, and don’t you think Dr. Davis had something to do with that? What do you think he would say? Why don’t you go ask your mentor what he thinks about you being not only sexually but romantically involved with your physical therapist? Not only a one- night- fling or a friendly flirtation to keep things interesting in between your push- ups, but a real deal relationship ?”
    He has me there. I have no idea what’s been up with Dr. Davis lately but I’m relatively certain he wouldn’t approve.
    “And anyway Harlow, what are you even doing? You don’t even do relationships.”
    “I know someone else who used to have that same mantra. Now he’s practically living with some chick he wanted to bang and move on from, just like all the rest.”
    He’s silent. I’ve won.
    “I guess they’re just like all the rest… until, for whatever
