Shy about her body, worried that some day she might balloon up like her mother, not knowing what to expect because of the steeplechase arch, Julia Murdick undressed and snuck under the covers of Selwyn Norris’s bed while he dallied in the bathroom. She had been sexually precocious, active since thirteen, ready for teenage adventures, but she had never been held in the arms of an older man. Driving to his place, Norris had continued to be restrained, quiet, attentive. Unaccustomed to such patience, she was reconciled to the possibility that he might actually be a really lousy lover, but she needed to find that out for herself, once and for all.

She waited.

Listened to the toothbrush, the taps, the toilet. Boys weren’t like this. She supposed that adult sex might be terribly boring.

From the en suite he entered the dim light of the bedroom and Julia turned on her side, supporting her head with one hand. She loved the luxury of the room, the size of the bed, the clean sheets. She had never made love on such a big bed in such a huge bedroom in such a vast apartment with quiet jazz on the stereo and the lights of downtown perfectly reflected in the window.

Norris pulled the curtains closed.

“There’s my girl,” he said.

Julia replied, “Nooooo!” She punched the mattress.

“What?”

“Girl is so so so politically incorrect, especially, I would say, in younger woman-older man relationships.”

He leaned over and through the duvet squeezed her left big toe until she kicked him off.

“What do you call that?” she complained. “Foreplay?”

“At least you’re back on the right subject.”

The bedside lamp stayed on as he undressed. She admired the full, well-formed chest, the trim waist. He was not particularly muscular, but he had good tone, and she found the gentle aging of his pecs endearing. Just a light fluff of white chest hair. His penis was rising, and Julia enjoyed the view and yelped when he submarined under the covers from the foot of the bed, pulling her calves, then her thighs and hips under him. She wanted to be coy, but the novelty, the urgency, the long wait had her making yipping noises that embarrassed her, and when he surfaced she didn’t know what to do so she walloped him.

“Ow! Julia! You’re so—You’re so—”

“What?”

“Physical.”

“Yeah?”

“Beautiful, too.”

“Oh, here we go. Man seduces woman with compliments.”

He shut her up by kissing her then, the moment a surprise. His lips were nice. Soft. Interesting. She worried that hers were chapped. His tongue played along the edges of her mouth. She heard herself sigh, and Julia let herself feel this. It had been so long, her last boyfriend had not traveled with her to Montreal, and never had it been this slow, this…methodical. She moved to hold him, and in the action her body wrapped his and now she was willing to be hungry for this, the attention, the company, the sex, the return of desire, and it was stronger than she had expected or had been willing to count on.
