The Lies That Bind
Katie wracking her brain about something and having it miraculously revealed
during a baseball game.
You do have a list, Katie declared triumphantly.
A list?
Yes. I told you I had a long list of girlfriend requirements and you said you
didn t have one. But you do!
I do, Erin said dubiously.
It s just a very short list. I think it consisted of only one thing, and that s
whether I was going to be shut down sexually.
She paused dramatically, and Erin grinned at the look of triumph on her face.
She d learned that Katie had a way of pausing to let her points sink in, and she
assumed that was a trial tactic she d picked up. However she d come by it, Erin
found it adorable.
So, even though you re generally not very assertive, you let yourself show me
from the very beginning that you had a sex drive that needed to be taken into
consideration. My guess is that you didn t really want to have sex the night of my
St. Patrick s day party. You just wanted to make sure that you could tell me what
you needed and I wouldn t shut you down.
There was another pregnant pause that allowed Erin to consider Katie s
supposition. Are you sure about that?
Yep.
Erin leaned back in the embrace and reflected on the enviable confidence that
Katie showed in making this declaration.
I don t, by the way, think you plotted this. I m pretty sure you weren t even
aware you were doing it. I think your fear of getting into a relationship where
you weren t satisfied sexually overrode your normal reticence. But your normal
reticence is on display this morning. That worried look on your face and your
refusal to admit it seems much more in keeping with the woman I ve fallen in
love with. So, there it is. Chew on that for a while, and let me know if I m totally
off my rocker. She quickly kissed Erin and said, I m gonna go get breakfast.
Erin sat on the edge of the bed for quite a few minutes, considering what Katie
had said. She lay down and covered herself with the quilt while she continued to
ruminate. Even though she tried to focus on what Katie had said, thoughts kept
darting in images of the look on Katie s face when she was saying something
important, the way she looked at Erin right before she kissed her, the almost
conversational yet dramatic way she had of making a point. Before long, Erin
couldn t keep thinking. She had to be beside her lover, even though she knew she
was way behind on the race to analyze her own motives.

hey sat at the breakfast bar in Katie s spacious, remarkably clean kitchen.
TErin was munching away on a bowl of whole grain granola topped with
blueberries and a banana, and Katie had chosen a blueberry banana smoothie.
This is just like eating at home, Erin said. Nice and healthy. She stuck her
tongue out and made her eyes cross.
Katie tapped her on the cheek. That s because your mother and I both love
you and want you to be healthy and happy.
I m gonna have to sneak out later for something lethal.
Weren t those Buffalo wings at the bar last night lethal enough for the whole
weekend?
Not even close. They satisfied my fat and grease needs, but didn t touch the
sugar or chocolate requirements.
Don t even think about bringing that stuff in here. If it s here, I ll eat it. I can
only control my diet by abstinence.
It doesn t bother you when I have things you don t choose to eat, does it?
Just a tiny bit. I m jealous that you can get away with it.
Erin put her hand around her own thigh and then moved her hand onto
Katie s. There s about a two-inch difference between my leg and yours. I can t
get away with eating junk. I just don t care if I m a little overweight.
You re not overweight. Katie playfully lifted Erin s T-shirt and ran her hand
over her curves. You re perfect.
I have a bigger frame than you do, but even taking that into consideration,
I m probably twenty pounds heavier than you are. As I get older, I m gonna have
to be more careful.
I love your body. Katie took a big sip of her smoothie, her eyes wandering up
and down Erin s body with interest.
Smiling at the evident appreciation, Erin said, And I love yours. I particularly
The Lies That Bind
love that you re not as flat-chested as many women with your build are. She
wiggled her eyebrows, making Katie giggle.
You can thank my mom s family for that. That s the first place I gain
weight.
Ooh& maybe another ten pounds wouldn t hurt.
Katie took Erin s hand and put it on her breast, moving it around while
watching Erin s eyes dilate. Have you always been obsessed with breasts? [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
