feeling she would be needing a lot of bubble baths to help her unwind in Vegas with Trey giving her sexual tutoring sessions.  Just the anticipation of it had her feeling anxious, but she was determined to come back to Pittsburgh a new woman.  How could she not with him helping her?
    Since she had no romantic notions where she and Trey were concerned, their arrangement was perfect.  Not to mention it was bound to improve her odds of experiencing the big “O” in this lifetime.  She was determined to face her sexual ineptness and take matters into her own hands.  If things went the way she hoped, she could become the kind of woman who turned men’s heads.  Confident and eluding sex appeal.  Just like the women Trey dated.
    Living across from Trey , she had seen her share of what he playfully referred to as ‘hot dates’ coming out of his apartment the morning after.  Their thoroughly sated expressions, making Angie ache to know that feeling.
    The bedroom phone rang out, drawing Angie from her thoughts.  She raced from the bathroom to answer it. 
    “Hello?”
    “Hey, Ange,” Kathy greeted from the other end of the line.  “What’s up?  Or maybe that should be who’s going to be up ?”
    Angie gasped.  “He told you?”
    “I made him.”
    She didn’t have to see Kathy’s face to know she was grinning from ear to ear.  Angie settled onto a chair at the breakfast bar.  “How?  You’re in Chicago.”
    “Simple.  I answered my phone.”
    “Come again.”
    “Never mind all that.  I’ve got another meeting in five minutes.  I just called to say that I’m glad you finally saw what you’ve been overlooking for years.”
    “And that is?”
    “My brother.”
    “It’s not like that,” she attempted to explain, the butterflies returning to her stomach with a vengeance.  “Trey and I are just really close friends.”
    “And soon to be closer,” her best friend was quick to point out. 
    “Your brother’s giving me a few tips from a man’s point of view and pretending to be my lover as a favor to me.  Nothing more.”
    “So you say.”
    “Why?  What did Trey tell you?”
    “Same thing you did, but one thing can lead to another if you’re not careful.”             
    Angie eyed the suitcase on her bed.  “Not in this case.”
    Kathy responded with laughter.  “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.  Hmm, my brother the red hot lover .”
    “If his going with me is going to be a problem...”
    “Are you kidding?  I’m thrilled.  I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’d always hoped you two would get together.”
    Angie let out a sigh of frustration.  Kathy had this all wrong.  What on earth had Trey told her?  “Your brother and I aren’t getting together.  At least, not in the way you mean.  He’s—”
    “I know.  Performing stud service.”
    “No!”
    “He’s not?”
    “Okay, sort of.”
    “Care to explain how my brother is supposed to ‘sort of’ perform stud service for you?”
    She didn’t have to see Kathy’s face to know she was grinning.  Angie heard it in her voice.
    “Basically, I need a stud and your brother is that.  And as for the service part, it’s not what you’re thinking.  Just a little hot and heavy lip action to make Rick think Trey is my lover.  Throw a little sexual instruction into the mix and that’s the deal.”
    “Mmm hmm.”
    “I have to do this, Kathy.  I’m tired of living a sexless life.”
    “Can’t say that I blame you there.  We’re young and single and living without sex is...well, it’s...”
    “Pathetic?”
    Her friend’s laughter reverberated in the receiver.  “That’s getting right to the point.  I was thinking more along the line of a waste.”
    “Same thing.”
    “Let’s face it, Angie, the older we get the more our bodies change.  And I’m not talking good changes.  Sagging butts and drooping boobs.  Wrinkles.  Rolls.  You name it.  I say use it while you still have it in all
