Honey lay in his arms afterward, her head on his shoulder. He toyed idly with her hair, wrapping silky curls around his big brown fingers while she discovered the textures of his chest and explored old scars that she had seen but never touched.

He was quiet.

She wasn't.

“I never thought it would be so wonderful, Dash. It didn't hurt at all, and I wanted it to last forever. I was worried— You know, you read about it in books, and that sort of gives you high expectations. But then you've got to ask yourself, is that the way it really is?” She touched a scar near his nipple. “Where did this one come from?”

“I don't know. Montana, maybe. I worked on a ranch up there.”

“Uhmm. I can't imagine anything more wonderful than sex. I was afraid that I'd be—You know, since I haven't had any practice, I thought I might be sort of a dud.” She lifted her head, her forehead wrinkling. “I wasn't a dud, was I?”

He kissed the tip of her nose. “You weren't a dud.”

Reassured, she lay back down and resumed her stroking. “But I still don't know a lot, and really, I don't see why we can't do it again. I'm not sore. Really, I'm not. And I want to make sure I satisfy you—I know that's important. And I haven't done any—you know—oral sex or anything.”

“Jesus, Honey.”

She propped herself up on her elbow to look at him. “Well, I haven't.”

A faint, ruddy glow stained his cheekbones. “For pete's sake, where do you get your ideas?”

“I may not have had a lot of experience, but I'm a big reader.”

“Well, that explains it.”

“And another thing...”

He groaned.

“Everything happened so fast. Well, not fast. Really slow, which was wonderful. But I got a little crazy. Which wasn't my fault because everything you were doing to me was making me crazy. Not crazy, exactly, but—”

“Honey?”

“Uh-huh?”

“Do you think you could sort of wander toward the point you're trying to make before both of us die of old age?”

She toyed with the edge of the sheet where it lay over his waist. “My point—” She hesitated. “It's a little embarrassing.”

“It's hard to imagine there's anything much left that could embarrass you.”

She gave him a glare that was supposed to be withering, but she was so happy that it fell short of the mark. “What I'm trying to say is that—In the heat of passion, so to speak, I didn't get a chance to... I didn't actually...” She stroked the edge of the sheet. “The point is...” She took a deep breath. “I want to look.”

His head shot up. “You what?”

Now she was the one with the ruddy cheekbones. “I want to... look at you.”

“Sort of like a science experiment?”

“Do you mind?”

He chuckled and then dropped his head back to the pillow. “No, sweetheart, I don't mind. Look away.”

She drew back the sheet, and within a very short time Dash seemed to set aside all his reservations because they were making love again.

He was in the shower when room service banged on the door the next morning.
