“What was it like? You were safe weren’t you? Did he hurt you? Will you do it again?”
I gave another quick look around. No one was paying us any attention. “To take each of your questions in turn, it was pretty nice. In fact I felt good about it.”
Her eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes I was perfectly safe. We went to my place. All we did was sit on the sofa and kiss and cuddle. No, Mark—his name was Mark—didn’t hurt me at all. I felt nice and warm and tingly inside.” I closed my eyes to try to recapture some of the pleasant feelings of the previous evening, but I couldn’t. I opened my eyes; the doubt was already beginning to settle in. “It’s a pity I had to pay for the experience though.” I sighed.
Mary gave me a hug.
“Thanks.” I returned her hug. “Even though we agreed on a couple of hours he stayed later, and didn’t want any extra money.”
“That’s, uh, good?”
