And she should have. No woman in America, especially a pretty and successful woman, wanted to be pitied. That was a cloak of shame that most of the people I knew usually reserved for the homely, the poor, and the disabled. Valerie was neither one of those things.

But the reality of romance was cruel—for some women. And that could not be denied or ignored. Not only was the dating game a bitch, it was downright unfair and unpredictable. I was a good exam-ple of that. I didn’t have a lot of things that most of the men in L.A.

wanted in a woman. Like a lot of money, fame, a jazzy car, and a fantastic background. But apparently I had enough. I wasn’t Miss America, but I was by no means a plain Jane. A lot of men told me to my face that I was beautiful and that I had a body that they wanted to get some dibs on. So I was all right in the looks department; that was in my favor. I was also loyal, dependable, and sensitive, and I knew how to hold a decent conversation. But all that described Valerie and most of the other women I knew, too. The only other explanation for my success with men had to be luck. And I must have had enough for two women because I had two men in my hip pocket. And I was turning down dates with other men left and right.

builder who also serviced her truck. But that didn’t last long. A month after he asked her to marry him, he was gone. I was not surprised. The few times that he’d come to the house to see her, she had whined and complained the whole time about one thing or another.

Even the strongest man could only take so much. “I bet he’s gay and was just using me to hide it,” Moanin’ Lisa decided. “Next time I’m going to hold out for a man like Paul, like you did. He’s everything I want in a man.”

CHAPTER 36

Paul was everything and more of what I wanted in a man. One of the most important aspects was that he was free. He was my man in every sense of the word, not just in name only like Floyd had become.

Every time I visited Floyd I got so horny when I saw all the new muscles he’d developed from lifting weights every day, I wanted to hump him in the worse way. But with that glass wall between us, I couldn’t even fondle his balls or pinch his cheeks like I did Paul when I wanted to cuddle.

“Lo, you don’t know how much I look forward to your visits,” Floyd told me, a smile on his face and his chin in the palm of his hand.
