. . ." And with that, he thrusted his entire lower half

into mine with minimal skill and his characteristic tongue lashing.

Had Gwyneth really endured such treatment? Was it actually possible

he'd slept with so many girls only once that none had bothered

to tell him that he had no idea what he was doing? It was sickening,

as was the sudden realization that Philip only pursued me with

this passion when he knew we couldn't go through with it. Tonight

was no different; there was no risk of me tearing off my clothes

and pleading for sex when the elevator doors would swing open at

any moment. Which they did, directly into Caleb's penthouse

apartment. A quick and subtle backhanded wipe across my face

and neck removed most of the saliva, and I was as ready as I'd

ever be.

"Philip, baby, come on over!" a lanky guy with long hair called

from the couch, where he was hunched over a mirror, rolled-up

bill in hand. What appeared to be a naked girl was draped across

his lap. She stared up at him with a look that surpassed admiration

and approached worship. He snorted quickly, effortlessly,

handed the girl the bill, and then pulled his mask back over his

face.

"Cally, Cal-man, this is Bette. Bette, Caleb, the thrower of this

most fabulous party, and as of today, a gentleman no longer in his

twenties."

"Hi, Caleb, nice to meet you," I said to the mask. "Thanks for

inviting me."

All three of them looked at each other and then at me and

started laughing. "Bette, why don't you come join us here for a little

taste, and then we'll head upstairs? Everyone's on the roof."

"Uh, I'm good, thanks," I said, unable to take my eyes off the

girl. She finished the two small lines Caleb had left for her and

rolled onto her back. Technically, she wasn't completely naked, if

you counted the swatch of fuchsia silk that hung low on her hips

and covered only the front of her pelvis, leaving her entire backside

bare. The thong I thought she'd been wearing when I first saw

her turned out to be nothing more than a tan line, and her breasts

had long since broken free from their own silk constraints, a contraption

shaped something like a bra but with no actual hooks,

straps, or shape. She curled up in a ball with a happy smile and

sipped her champagne, announcing that she was just going to

party downstairs a little longer before joining everyone else.

"Suit yourself, babe," Caleb said, motioning for us to follow

him. We stepped back in the elevator, where he used a special key

that allowed us to select the Terrace button. I almost passed out

when the doors opened again. I don't know what exactly I'd been

expecting, but this sure wasn't it. Perhaps I'd thought it was going

to be like Michael's Halloween party, when a bunch of his friends

from UBS and college had gathered in his fourth-floor walk-up.

The kitchen table had held bottles of cheap booze and mixers and

a few cereal bowls of candy corn, pretzels, and salsa. Some guy in

drag announced that pizza was on the way to the assorted costumed

revelers, who
