"Ever watched a porno, Mace?"
I had to clear my throat and take a drink of my soda
before I answered. "N-no."
He chuckled, disbelief clear on his face. "Not even for
research?"
I frowned, though pleased he didn’t make a reference to
my age instead. "No."
Annoyance filled me, but it felt better than the
humiliation of still being so naïve at thirty-five. I write
romance for a living, not erotica. So what if my characters
were as innocent as me? I wanted to throw my soda into his
knowing gaze.
"Well, my good little Catholic schoolgirl, it’s about
time you did."
I snorted and rolled my eyes at his "little girl"
reference. I was ten years, five months and eight days older
than him—yes, I’d done the math. Maybe not as experienced,
but definitely not a little girl. I simply couldn’t let the
challenge in his voice go unanswered. He picked up the
remote while I sat next to him and watched the action on the
screen reverse at a fast pace. It was almost funny seeing it
that way and I bit my lip to keep from laughing. He started
the regular play again and I watched in horrified
fascination as two women began undressing each other. We
didn’t speak, didn’t touch, we just sat there and sipped our
drinks as scene after scene of people having sex played in
front of us.
I wondered if he’d planned on masturbating until I
interrupted him and glanced over at the front of his jeans.
With the way he held his beer against his thigh I couldn’t
really tell, but it didn’t look like he was even hard from
watching the porn. I have to admit it excited me. Slickness
formed between my thighs and I squeezed them together
tightly. I can count my past lovers on one hand with a few
fingers to spare. Most of the guys I’d dated were interested
until they discovered I was a mom. After a while I just gave
up and started writing out the romance I wished I could
experience.
The soda did little to cool me off as the movie
progressed and the positions became more outrageous. My
heart sped up and I tried not to pant as two men settled a
buxom blonde between them. The men were well built and I
couldn’t help admiring the muscular ass of the one on top. I
watched him flex as he drove in and out of the blonde, his
balls slapping the guy beneath her. I’d never seen anything
like it before and I was riveted. I licked my lips and set
my empty soda can on the coffee table, never taking my eyes
from the screen.
"You like this one?"
I jumped slightly at the feel of Max’s breath on my ear
and turned to find him inches away from me. When had he
moved closer? I had no clue, but his thigh now touched mine
and the feel of denim against my bare skin felt almost too good.
"Um, yeah. It’s…interesting."
He laughed and set his beer down next to my soda.
"Interesting? Have you ever tried it?"
It took a moment for me to understand the question.
"Uh, that? With two guys?" He nodded. "No! I-I mean,
uh…no, I’ve never had the chance."
He laughed again and placed his hand on my leg where my
shorts gave way to bare skin.
"I know having Haley might not have left a lot of private
time, but…you’re not very experienced are you, Mace?"
Being a single mother definitely put a damper on my sex
life, and in the couple of months my daughter had been away
at college it hadn’t changed.
"Um, no, not really I guess."
"Hell, baby, you write romance for a living. Don’t your
characters have sex?"
Frowning at his reference to my precious characters, I
sat up straighter and pointed accusingly at the television.
"Not like that. I write historical romance and there’s
more romance than sex in my stories. They’re sweet, not…steamy."
I was blushing again and it made me angry. I pushed his
hand away and stood, fully intending to leave. Max grabbed
my arm and pulled, making me lose my balance and land in his
lap. I discovered I’d been wrong about him not being hard,
and froze.
"I like sweet, though there’s definitely something to be
said for steamy," he whispered in my ear.
