breathing grew louder,  harsher, her moans driving him crazy.  “ Cray, make me come. ”
        “ Take me inside your apartment. ”
        “ No, ” she said.
        He sighed, realizing he'd get no relief tonight.  He lowered his mouth to her breast and suckled while his hand went under her panties and cupped her wet warmth.  He slipped one finger in her and then the second while the heel of his hand stroked her clitoris and his fingers moved in and out of her.  Her breath hitched and she rubbed and moved against his hand.
        She dissolved in his arms, her knees weakening.  His one arm around her and her arms around his neck held her upright.  Her breathing returned to normal and she said, “ I'm sorry.  Come in my apartment.  I'll make it right for you.  It's only fair. ”
        “ It's okay.  I watched you come and you're even more beautiful.  What time should I pick you up tomorrow? ”
        “ Cray, I cheated you. ”
        “ Angel, your pleasure is my pleasure. ”
        “ Don't you want to be in me? ”
        He grinned at her.  “ Not in the hall and I prefer to be prone.  Tell me what time tomorrow. ”
        “ One.  Cray, tell me a dirty joke. ”
        He laughed. “ I only know the one and besides the joke is on me tonight. ”   He kissed her softly and said, “ Sleep well, Angel. ”
         “ I'm standing in the hallway almost naked.  Anyone could come by. ”
        “ Now you think about it. ”   He turned and walked to the elevator and listened to her door close behind her.
        The next morning his phone rang and he saw Mona's number.  “ What now? ” he said answering the phone.
        “ You don't sound pleased to hear from me. ”
        “ How perceptive of you. ”
        “ How did it go last night with Angelica? ”
        “ We had dinner, went dancing, stopped for a nightcap and I took her home. ”
        “ Where are you right now? ”
        “ At home in my kitchen.  Where did you think I'd be? ”
        “ I didn't expect you to answer the phone.  Thought you'd be engaged in other activities. ”
        “ Why? ”
        “ You losing your touch?  By now you usually have a bed partner. ”
        “ She's more that a one-night stand to me. ”
        “ I gathered that when we talked yesterday, but why in the hell are you waiting?  There's a chance you won't be compatible. ”
        “ Not going to happen when it happens. ”
        “ You're grouchy today.  She's turning you down, playing hard to get. ”
        “ Mona, did you have a specific reason for calling or are you trying to live vicariously through me when there's nothing to tell? ”
        “ Yep, you're grouchy.  Better call one of your old standbys to get you over the hump. ”
        “ Mona, get serious for a minute.  I want to invite Angelica for the family get together Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  What will Mom and Dad think and since you have twin beds in your room, can she bunk with you? ”
        “ Mom and Dad will be delighted and since you're not intimate with her yet, she's welcome to stay in my room.  You do realize that since you became an adult you never tell our parents about the women you date and you sure as hell never took one home.  It's going to cause speculation. ”
        “ Yes, I'm aware. ”
        “ She'll be pummeled with questions, interrogated.  It is what they do as attorneys. ”
        “ Yes.  She can handle them.  I'll give her fair warning. ”
        “ This is going to be the best Christmas yet.  I wouldn't miss this for the world.  God, I hope I don't come down with appendicitis that calls for emergency surgery and I miss the fun. ”
        “ You had your appendix removed when you were seventeen. ”
        “ Details.  Unimportant details.  I have a whole bunch of dirty jokes to tell her.  It will be like a girl's sleepover. ”
