Both women were in the mood for a little spice, so they decided to have mango chutney chicken for dinner. While the chicken was baking, they each grabbed a beer and went out on the patio next to the living room to look at the ocean for a while.

“So … day three is almost over,” Ryan said. “How do you think it’s going?”

“Hmm, I’d say it’s been idyllic,” Jamie mused. “I feel better than I have in years, to tell you the truth. I’m rested and satisfied, and I feel very well loved. I was really worried that things would be odd or uncomfortable between us, but that hasn’t happened much.”

“Nope. Not much at all,” Ryan agreed. “But I did want to ask you about one little thing.”

“What’s that, babe?”

“I know this is hard for you, but the only way we’re gonna be really comfortable with each other is if we can learn to be really, really open about expressing our feelings.”

“I agree,” Jamie said, with a look of concern crossing her features. “Tell me what’s wrong.”

“No, no, there’s nothing wrong,” Ryan insisted. “Please don’t think that. I want to be able to have an on-going dialogue about things—and I don’t want either of us to be tense about any topics. The more we can talk about it, the more comfortable we’ll feel.”

“Okay,” Jamie said, and Ryan noticed the massive breath that she took to calm herself. “What’s on your mind?”

“Well, yesterday, when we were making love, I was a little disappointed when you asked me not to …”

Jamie covered her face with her hands and she mumbled, “Aaargh! Do we really have to talk about this?”

Ryan considered the question for a moment before she replied, “That depends on whether you want to have an open, trusting, sexual relationship or not.”

Jamie’s head jerked up. “Do you really believe that? You really think we can’t have sex without over-analyzing it?”

The tone of Jamie’s voice and her choice of words stung Ryan a little, but she didn’t back off. This was as important to her as settling the money issue was to Jamie. “I think we could have a decent sex life if we just stuck to what we’ve done so far and left it at that. And if that’s really what you want, I’ll try to cut you some slack.” She spent a moment considering how frank to be, and decided to tell all. “But that’s not what I want. I want our sex life to be as open and honest and fulfilling as the rest of our life. It surprises me to think that you don’t feel that way.”

Jamie got up from her chair and knelt down in front of her partner, “You know that I do. This is hard for me … very hard.”

Ryan reached down and pulled her onto her lap. As Jamie’s head rested on her shoulder, she tried to draw her out. “Tell me what’s hard for you.”

“It embarrasses me to talk about sex,” she admitted. “I think it should just be something natural that happens between us.
