Chapter 8

Matt drove in silence back to Jennifer's condo. She hadn't spoken a word to him since they'd walked out of the exhibit. She'd probably never speak to him again, he thought, gloomily. He was glad that she couldn't see his red face in the dark. His skin still felt hot to the touch. It was disgusting, he thought, a man his age, and an experienced doctor to boot, blushing like a pimply-faced boy. But he couldn't stop his traitorous brain from imagining Jennifer in black leather and crotchless panties. Then he'd think about the sheer stockings with the black lace banding at the top that she'd worn, and he'd get so hard that he ached. Where did you buy crotchless panties?

Jennifer decided that Matt's face could have been used for an emergency beacon. It took all her will power to keep her laughter inside. More than anything she wanted to tell him the truth, but he was so apologetic, so groveling in his contriteness, that she was afraid he wouldn't see the humor in the situation.

"I know how shocked you must be," he said, finally.

"No, no. It's all right. After all, I've seen stuff like that before."

"You mean, it doesn't bother you because you distance yourself by donning your psychologist's hat, so to speak?"

Jennifer wished she'd never concocted that story about being sexually repressed. She sighed, forced to continue the pretense, at least until she could find a graceful way to put an end to the nonsense. "That's right." She attempted to weave some truth into her lies. "You unleashed feelings in me that I didn't know were inside me. Tonight, rather than be insulted," she said, "I felt rather turned on, if you must know the truth."

He glanced sharply at her. "You did?"

She nodded, smothering her grin. She'd also felt a level of hilarity that equaled watching Wile E. Coyote get clobbered by an Acme anvil in a Roadrunner cartoon, but she chose to remain silent about that.

The traffic was light, and they reached her condominium complex a short while later. The parking lot was brightly lit. Too bright, darn it. There were even some late night joggers around. No privacy to be found here or in her condo, Jennifer thought, with her mom and dad still there.

"Then you forgive me?"

"There's nothing to forgive," Jennifer said, feeling a pang of guilt. She hoped that when he found out what she'd done that he would be equally compassionate.

"So you'll see me again?" He asked, turning the motor off.

Unhappily, Jennifer looked at him. She hadn't forgotten the hurt he'd caused her in high school, but he wasn't that same callous senior any more than she was an insecure, self-conscious freshman. Though her actions of late certainly wouldn't have convinced anyone of her maturity.

Even his chat with Lucas Wyman could be excused. After all, she hadn't heard what he'd said. And she did know that Lucas Wyman was a drunken blowhard. Matt could have been totally innocent, just a guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.
