Sue and Tom
little tipsy. Still, I was as horny as hell. Not only does alcohol make me playful, our dinner conversation didn’t help. Besides, I had read something in a women’s magazine and I was dying to try it. Tonight seemed like a good night, especially since I had let my inhibitions down.
    I smelled my armpits. Still smelled like vanilla lavender. I grabbed by purse, which Tom had thrown on the bed when he carried me upstairs, and yanked out a small vial of perfume. I put a dab behind each ear. I didn’t want to overpower him with scent.
    By the time Tom returned, I was completely undressed and waiting on top of the sheets.
    Tom held up a bottle of peppermint schnapps. “Found some.”
    I held out my hand. “Give it to me and get undressed.”
    I watched as Tom unbuttoned his white shirt and slid out of it. Then he unbuckled his belt and dropped his pants. His package was bulging beneath his boxers.
    I laid back and opened the bottle of schnapps. “Pour this in my belly button and then sip it.”
    I tried to keep still as Tom filled my navel with the schnapps. Then he sat the bottle on the nightstand and leaned down to sip it. That magazine article was right. He was driving me crazy with desire. When he kissed my breasts and then blew on the spots he kissed with his peppermint-tinged lips, I thought I would go insane.
    I lifted his head. “Kiss me.” And when our mouths found each other, I could taste the peppermint on his tongue.
    “I’m going to sip some more,” he said.
    I could feel my desire for him building as he filled my belly button and sipped the schnapps once again. The things he was doing to me felt incredible and I couldn’t take it anymore.
    “Please,” I begged. “I need you.”
    And when he slid inside me my whole world turned upside down.

    I filled the coffee maker with water. Last night was full of firsts. I had never drunk peppermint schnapps out of anyone’s belly button or rolled around so passionately in my bed that I actually fell out of it while screwing. It sounds more painful than it was. We ended up on the floor and, except for some minor carpet burns, it was the best sex I ’d ever had.
    I had decided to let Sue sleep in. I figured she was probably feeling pretty rough. I knew she had to be home after lunch because Chloe’s dad was dropping her off at 2. I was heading out of town in the morning for a conference, so I wasn’t going to see Sue until next Friday. After last night, maybe that was a good thing. I never thought I’d say this, but it’s not as easy for me to hit the sex replay button as when I was younger. The replay button needed a rest.
    I heard her moans before I saw her. Sue walked into the kitchen wearing my dress shirt from last night. Her hair was a tangled nest but she still looked damn sexy.
    Sue rubbed her head. “Do I look as bad as I feel?”
    I smiled. “You look great.”
    “Yeah, right. Don’t lie.”
    “O kay, you look a little rough, but you still look sexy.”
    Sue smiled. “My head is killing me. How much did I drink last night , anyway?”
    I filled up a mug with coffee and handed it to her. “Don’t you remember?”
    “Kind of lost count after the second bottle of champagne. But I didn’t forget what happened when we got back here.”
    I smiled. “You were great.” I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head. “What do you want to eat?”
    “Anything. I need to take something for this headache but I don’t want to take it on an empty stomach.”
    “How about an egg sandwich?”
    Sue sipped her coffee. “An egg sandwich would be perfect.”

    I watched as Tom flipped the egg in the cast iron frying pan. “There’s something else I remember from last night.”
    “Oh yeah,” Tom said. “You mean how great of a lover I am?”
    “Well, that’s true. But I’m talking about your ex.”
    “Ah, Rachel. Figured we’d have to have that conversation sooner or later.”
