Gaea remained silent a long time after the waitress made her getaway. She was embarrassed, sure, but not terminally. She just wasn’t certain what to say next. How did one follow up after what she just revealed?

Finally, she looked over at Bas to find he was laughing. His face was kind of scrunched up, but on him, it looked good. Gaea smiled, appreciating the joke, but also a little concerned. The sharing of her tale had taken a toll. The erotic thrill had dissolved somewhat, but there was a lingering sensation below her waist that made her shift in her seat.

He stirred her up, this man. Something serious. Yes, she’d decided to go with the flow, so to speak, and scratch her proverbial itch. But something else nagged at her, and it was a little voice in the back of her head that said this wasn’t all about sex. And if it was just about sex, then having sex might not be the smartest idea. Having sex might lead to wanting more, and more was what she couldn’t have.

All she had to do was think about the end of the campaign and the potential jobs that lay ahead for her. On the other hand, the distraction of the attraction was rapidly becoming too much to ignore, and that could easily lead to disaster.

“Now, that was a moment I won’t soon forget,” Bas said, wiping the corner of his eyes with his finger tips. “The look on our waitress’ face. I’m willing to bet you another dinner sometime this week that we’ll have another server for the rest of our meal.”

“I won’t take that bet.” She sipped her new drink, careful not to down too much, as she was starving and the liquor would put her on her butt if she weren’t careful. “I think they’re probably all pulling straws to see who has to serve us.”

“You certainly took it all in stride.”

She shrugged. “Not much I can do about telling the truth to the question that was asked. Why freak out?”

“Why, indeed?” He held up his glass. “To indomitability.”

She touched her glass to his and took another sip. “I hope they don’t barter too much. I’m hungry.”

“Me, too.”

They both turned in the direction of the kitchen, but no server appeared, so they settled back to wait.

“That was great, by the way,” he said. “Just the sort of insight I was looking for.”

“You know, the last time I checked, there were a ton of books that detail, and even analyze, women’s sexual fantasies. Couldn’t you just read about them?”

“I have, and they didn’t work. Informal evidence from a cross section of anonymous women is okay, but it doesn’t get to the heart of what I’m looking for. My line of thinking is that if I can understand one particular woman, you, then I’ll see all women in a new light.”

Gaea shook her head. “Hasn’t every man since the beginning of time tried to figure women out and failed?”

“Yes! That’s what makes my research so interesting.
