Chapter 506

• Trish sighed, and said, “I know. That happens in my job.” She paused, and gently bit her lower lip for a moment, and gently stroked my chest with the back of her left hand, and said, “I only met you today, but, I’ll tell you something.” She made eye contact, and continued with, “I kind of wish I’d known you longer.” She moved her right hand down, and put both arms around my waist, and said, “If we’re both nervous, we’ll just have to be gentle with each other, won’t we?”
• “I’ll be as gentle as you like,” I said, and then I kissed her pretty mouth, and added, “unless you tell me otherwise.”
• “I like the sound of that,” Trish answered. She looked back at the bed, and looked at me again, without speaking. I took her left hand and led her to the bed, and we walked up to the right side. “Hold me,” Trish whispered, resting her head on my chest.
