EXPLORING WITH JOE - 5 The first day of school was on Friday. It was morning only, because the teachers had to do something in the afternoon, then the first full day would be on Monday. Joe and I said we'd meet each other at the bike rack in back before the 8:15 bell. But we didn't have a lot of time then, so we said we'd meet again at noon when school was over. The school wasn't as big as the last one I was in, but it was a lot more confusing. I knew it was going to be! We had different rooms for all the classes, and after the first one they gave us 15 minutes to find our new lockers. I was afraid I'd have to ask somebody for help getting my lock undone! But I finally got it. We just went to every class for a little bit, and they said what the class would be like -- everybody talked about homework! -- and we got our books. Every time the bell rang, people were rushing around in the halls. I thought about peeing once between classes, but I didn't think I'd have time. I didn't see Joe once all morning. Finally it was all over, and I put my books away in my locker.Joe was waiting for me at the bike rack.We decided to ride out to our special place to talk about it all. The first thing we did was compare schedules, and we didn't have a single class together! We had the same teachers for English and History, but at different times. Joe took Chorus as his elective, and I took Speech. Joe had brought our history book with him, and we looked at it for a little bit. It looked okay, but I still wasn't looking forward to this. We decided that, as long as the weather was okay, we'd ride our bikes to school and meet at the bike rack, like that morning. At noon we'd meet at the front door and walk down to the Diary Bar, just a block away, to get lunch. Then we'd meet at the bike rack when we got out. "Joe, I'll never get used to running around to all those places, those rooms, like that. And Miss Harrison (the Engish teacher) sounds like a real grouch. I thought maybe at least English might be okay, you know, reading and all." "Yeah," Joe replied, "but I heard some of the kids talking, and it's new to all of them, going to all different rooms. Just not like the way it was in grade school, Bobby." "Fuck!" And I was mad enough to use that word. "If this is what you have to do to grow up, then I don't want to grow up!" Joe started laughing, and I was still mad. But he reached over and started tickling me, and pretty soon we were lying side by side, still giggling a little, and just looking up into the sky through all the branches above us. "I'm glad we're us," Joe finally said. I wasn't exactly sure what he meant, but it made me feel good. Us. "Joe, you went to your gym class? You have Mr. Bailey? Did he tell you all that, about what we have to get?" "By Monday, yeah," Joe said. "He said they had everything we needed at the sports store in the mall." "Joe, I've never had a jock strap, have you?" "No, but I guess we'll need one now, for school. And the gym shorts." "Joe, I can't ask my mom to buy me a jock strap!" "I'm not going to ask mine," he said. "I was thinking about it, and you can do the same thing, too. I'm just going to tell her that for gym we have to have some things from the sports store. They told us how much it would cost, so I'm going to ask her for the money and go get the stuff myself. You do the same thing." "Tell her I need a jock strap?" I'd die of embarrassment first. "No, no. You just say 'stuff for gym' and that's all. She probably won't even ask what stuff, but if she does, you just hand her the paper they gave us. And we can go and get it ourselves." We had the afternoon, so we could go then. I was going to stay over at his house that night, and we could just go there from the mall. When I got home, mom was sewing in the kitchen and asked me how I thought I was going to like it. I said it was okay. She wouldn't understand. I was a long time ago when she was in the seventh grade. And I asked her if I could go with Joe to get the stuff we needed for gym class. "What stuff do you need, honey? she asked." "Well, we need gym shorts, special ones they make you wear for gym class, and...stuff..." "What other things, honey?" I had lost the paper from gym class! I looked in all my pockets, and I hadn't brought any books home...No, it was back there in my locker! "Well, it's just one other thing...that I need...you have to wear them...uh...a jock strap, I need to get one." My face was hot -- I knew I was red as a beet! I glanced up at mom, and she was looking at me, like, but you can't need that yet. I had to say it. To my mom! She smiled and said, "My purse is in the bedroom, hon; run get it for me, and I'll get what you need." I ate a quick lunch and called Joe. We met at the little park to ride to the mall. We'd been in the sports store lots of time, just looking around -- they had lots of cool stuff. But we'd never gone there to buy anything. We went in, and the man said, "You boys looking for gym togs?" And he pointed to the right asile. There were lots of white gym shorts in clear packages, and they had the sizes on them. They had boys separate from men. But I didn't know what size I needed, so Joe decided I needed a Small. He didn't know if Medium was too big for him or not, but he decided to get that one. I looked at him, then at me. Yeah, he had grown a little more than me during the summer. The jock straps were in little boxes right next to the shorts. They had sizes, too. He thought a Small for me, and he opened one of the packages and said, "Here, try it on." "What! You asshole," I whispered. "Stop horsing around." I tried to be real serious about it, but we wound up giggling so much the man came over. "You boys get what you need?" Joe took a Medium for him, and we went up to the front to pay. We rode over to Joe's then. His mom wasn't home from work yet, so we went upstairs to his room. "Okay," he said. "Now you try them on." "What?" "Oh, I will, too. Let's see what we'll look like for gym, okay?" We were used to seeing each other naked all the time, but I always liked to watch him take his clothes off. He was watching me, too. He handed me the box with my jock strap and took his. We pulled them out and held them up. Joe started first. He gave little giggles first, then started laughing, and that got me laughing. I'd never seen anything so wierd. We had to wear things like that? We finally could stop laughing, and I watched Joe put his on and stepped into mine the same way. That felt so really wierd. It was like putting clothes on, only when you had it on you were still almost naked, with your butt hanging out. I watched Joe mess with that pouch thing on the front and tried to do the same thing with mine. It was really uncomfortable! We had to wear this? When Joe started to walk over to me, I started giggling again. He just looked so funny, like on the front he was almost dressed, but in the back he was still naked. I could see his asscheeks moving around. But he knelt down in front of me to pull my pouch thing around a little, and he reached in and moved my dick some, too. "Getting a little hard, huh?" he grinned. "Oh, come on, Joe." I pulled away a little, and when he stood up, I got in front of him. I moved his pouch thing around some and poked my finger inside a little. "You're getting hard, too," I grinned back at him. And when I stood up, I could tell that his Medium was the right size for him, because his dick was pushing it out a little. And Small was right for me, but my little dick was kind of loose in there with all that elastic around it He walked around behind me and pulled a little on those straps. That made it tug some at my dick. He started running his hands over my ass, and that made my dick start to get hard for real. He moved around to my front, and we put our arms around each other and began one of those kisses I like, where our tongues lick around each other for a long time. He moved his hands down and started rubbing my ass all around. That made me push into him more, and I could feel his hard cock pushing at me. "You are so sexy," he whispered in my ear. Then we went back to kissing. It really made my heart beat so I could really feel it. He was so warm against my chest and legs. The only thing between us was those jock straps, so it was almost like being naked. I could even feel his cock throbbing through that elastic. "Turn around and bend over," he said. I could tell from the sound of his voice that he was up to something. But I bent over, and he made me spread my legs a little wider. He opened my asscheeks with his hands, and I grinned. I knew I was going to like this. I could feel his breath on my crack, even on my hole. Then his finger started to rub over my hole real lightly. My dick was so hard it pushed harder against that elastic holding it in.Then he was kissing my ass all over. He pushed me a little bit, so I could lean over onto the bed while I felt his kisses all over my ass. Then we heard the car door slam. It was his mom! "Shitfuck," he said. "We got to get dressed." But we were in our clothes by the time she got into the kitchen. Dinner was good -- it always was there -- and we talked about school mostly. His mom had a lot of questions. And she asked if we had gotten our gym things at the sport store. I suddenly remembered what Joe looked like with his pouch filled out and his ass hanging out the back, and real quick I dropped my fork on the floor so I could bend over and hide the grin I just couldn't stop. By the time I raised up again, Joe had said something, and they were talking about other school things. But Joe glanced at me and I could tell he was thinking the same thing I was. We did the dishes like we always did, and then went up to his room. We watched some TV and played a game of Monopoly, then we decided to watch a DVD. We went downstairs first to pop some corn, and we brought some cokes up, too. Joe put the DVD in and then said, "Let's watch it in our jock straps." And there was the grin! We stripped and were back in our jock straps really fast. We lay on our bellies facing the TV, but I was looking more at Joe than the TV. He was almost naked. He was propped up on his elbows, and his shoulders and back were so tanned from the summer sun. I looked down at his ass, all round and soft. And then I started giggling. "What?" he asked, turning his head to me. "Your ass. It's white! You're so tan, it makes your ass look white. You're brown with a white ass!" He looked back as my ass, and I knew I was whiter than he was, because his skin was darker to begin with. "You got nothing to talk about, sexyboy; you're whiter than me!" We grinned, and I looked back and forth at our two asses. He scooted over and started rubbing my ass cheeks real softly. Oh, that was nice. I put my head down on my arms and closed my eyes. His hands were so warm on me. I could feel him lay his head on my ass and rub his finger up and down my crack. I smiled. His cheek on my cheek. I could feel that finger go up and down and up and down, just barely in my crack. He jumped up all of a sudden. I looked over, and I could see his cock was really poking against his jock strap. "Let's take a shower," he said. "Movie's not over." "Okay, sexy. You want the movie, or you want to take a shower with me?" That was a silly question. We turned the TV off, pulled off our jock straps, and went over to the bathroom. First we peed at the toilet, holding each other's dick. Then we got in the spray and started rubbing the soapy suds all over each other. We held each other, like we had before, and we washed each other's holes with our fingers. But we did that for a long time because it felt so good. We washed our fronts faster than usual. Until we got to our dicks and balls. His balls felt so good in my hand, with the warm water and suds. But he was pushing his dick at me and groaning, and I think he wanted to get in bed as much as I did. We dried each other and had a nice long kiss, then we went back into the bedroom and got into the bed. We got our arms around each other and just lay there for a while. It feels so nice, his chest and belly moving against me when he breathed. He smelled so good from the shower. But Joe always smells good. I like being naked with Joe. As we were turning over a little bit and Joe moved his arm up above his head for a minute, I decided I wanted to kiss him where I'd never kissed him before. I raised up and looked at him. "Joe, I want you to raise your arm up a little, over your head." I realized that I didn't usually tell him what to do. That's right, he usually told me. But that's okay. He put his arm up, and I moved it to where it had been while he was holding it there a minute before. "Joe, I want to kiss you someplace I've never kissed you." I didn't know if he'd like it, but he'd tell me if he didn't. Sometimes he was ticklish. I leaned down, and I kissed his armpit, that kind of hollow place under his arm. It wouldn't be sweaty or anything, because we'd just gotten out of the shower. He made a little sound, and I knew it wasn't tickling him; he liked it. I kissed him there again, a little longer. Then I licked him. He was really smooth. He moaned a little. And he tasted nice there! I licked a little more, and then I kissed there again. Then I left my lips like they had been, only I sucked a little. He was really moaning now. He was moving around on the bed, but he was keeping his armpit pressed into my mouth. I was glad I had thought about this. He loved it. And I did, too. When I finally stopped, I lay my head on his chest, and he stroked my hair. "What made you think of that?" he asked. "I don't know. I just thought of it. I'd never kissed you there." "Can it be my turn?" he asked. So I rolled over and lifted my arm up. My arm was a lot smaller than his, so my armpit was, too. But when he kissed me there, I felt that kiss all over me. And then he sucked and licked. It was so different. And I'm always ticklish there. But I wasn't then. He lay back down, sort of across me. "Can I kiss you someplace I've never kissed you before?" he asked. I giggled. "You just did." "No, I mean another place. I won't if you don't want me to. But I want to...I thought about it.." "Joe, you can kiss me anywhere you want to. Where do you want to?" "Maybe you won't want me to. Maybe you'll think it sounds..." He didn't finish. "Sound what? Joe, I love it when you kiss me -- anywhere. You've kissed me all over and I love it -- my cheeks, my neck, my lips, my chest, my nipples, my back..." I was thinking about how it felt so good when he kissed me in those places. "...my dick, my balls, my legs, my ass..." Oh. There was a place he hadn't. But he didn't want... "Yeah, Bobby. You know how it feels when I rub my finger on it. Bobby, I love doing that to you, making you feel good that way. Please...let me kiss you there." On my... I never even thought about that. But it's where I... Well, we'd just been in the shower... "Okay," I whispered. I still wasn't really sure I understood what he meant. He had me roll over on my belly, and he spread my legs wide. He got between them. He pulled me up at my hips a little, so I was kind of twisted around. I could feel his hands pull my crack open. I could feel his breath on my crack, then on my hole. I knew he was looking at me there, just like I looked at him there for a while once. I wondered what I looked like. He just looked and breathed. And then he kissed me. On my hole. Oh my god! Such a feeling... Kissing my hole... My skin got goosebumps all over, and my ass shook a little. Somehow I could feel that kiss even inside me! How could that be? And he kissed me again. And then he licked! On my hole! I jumped, but then I moved back to where I'd been, so he could... He licked me again. And then he was licking all around it, and kissing it, and his tongue was so wet and so hot... I could hear myself whimpering like a little baby, but I couldn't help it. His tongue was pushing at my hole! Was he trying to get in? Oh, Joe... Anything you want, Joe. Anything. Then I realized I had said that out loud. His licking and kissing slowed, and I missed it so much. He lay his face against my asscheek, and stroked my ass, and it made me feel like I was the most special person in the world to him. "I love you so much, Bobby. You're beautiful all over, all over." I could barely hear him. "I love everything about you." I scooted down and took his head and held it against my chest. I stroked his hair and told him how much I loved him. And we lay back down and didn't say anything for a long time. "Joe. Joe, what do I look like, back there? What did you see?" "Your skin is so soft and so white on your ass. And then it's a little darker, maybe a little more pink inside. And your hole...your hole is pink, too, real pink. And the skin is smooth. It's all bunched up around your hole. It's really little. And it felt so good to lick it and feel it." Then, after a while, "You think that's...wierd, Bobby?" "Myabe it is, a little. I mean, I never even thought about doing that when I was looking at you. What did it...was it...I mean, with the shower and all..." "It tasted so nice, Bobby. It smelled like the soap, and it smelled like you. It smelled warm. And it tasted good. Bobby, it tasted so good, because it was you. I guess, maybe I'm kind of...wierd." "No, Joe. I love you. If you want to do that, then I love that, too. It did feel...it really felt...it made me feel good, Joe. I guess if you're wierd, then so am I." We lay there for a little bit, then I felt his fingers on my dick. I had gotten soft when we were talking, but I got hard against real fast. "Now I want to kiss you somewhere else," he grinned. "Guess where." "Let' see...could it be the top of my head?" I laughed. "Well," Joe said, "I guess you could say that. This head." And he took my dickhead into his mouth. He didn't suck hard at all, not fast either. I just lay there with my arms stretched out and his head on my belly. He moved my dick around in his mouth like it was...a piece of candy he wanted to make last a long time. Just a little licking, a little sucking. I thought, I'll give Joe anything, anything. He began to suck me a little harder, then he started rolling his fingers over my balls. I moved my hips up into him -- I wanted all of me inside him. He sucked me in deeper, then began to let my dick slide out a little, then suck it back in. I had to moan at the wonderful feeling all over me. He was pulling at my balls just a little bit when he sucked me in real fast, and the feeling started. Down there inside. I knew it. I knew Joe knew it. I was wiggling and pushing at him. Make me do it, Joe... It was like somebody had turned a switch on or something. It didn't build up for a real long time like it does usually. I just all of a sudden felt the hot bigness inside, and my dick jumped and jumped. "Ooooo.....Joe I'm...aaaaaaaaaauggg!" And as fast as it started it was over. It was so big. I was sweaty. I don't think I ever had been before. Oh, I felt so wonderful, like...like the most beautiful boy in the world, my boyfriend, had just sucked all of me into his mouth. All of a sudden I quivered, and then I felt so relaxed. Like I was on a cloud, floating... I jerked. I'd fallen asleep! Joe was lying beside me, looking at me with that little smile he has. "You are so damn cute," he whispered. "Even when you're asleep." I started to say something, but he put his finger over my mouth. "Shhh," he whispered. "Go back to sleep." And he put his arm around me. And I did. That was our last day before the new rules started. No overnights when there was school the next day. Only on weekends. We could play outside after school until dinnertime, then we had to go home. We could ride our bikes until dark, but the time would change and dark would be an hour earlier. Homework after supper. Saturdays were okay for playing, but not for overnights, because on Sunday we had to finish any homework before Monday. Rules. It was all something our moms agreed on, so that was that. We got them to change it a little bit, though, after a couple of weeks. Sometimes we could go over to each other's house to do homework together -- we had two of the same classes. For English we were just reading for a while, and we did a lot of that together, anyway. For History we would give each other little tests on stuff we read. Joe was really smart! And I got good grades, too, so I guess I was, too. One of the really cool things about seventh grade is that we could get different library cards -- not adult ones, but ones that let us take out more than three books at a time. Classes weren't as bad as I thought they might be. I didn't even know what Speech would be like, but you had to get up in front of the whole class and talk about different things. That's wasn't too hard. I don't know why it wasn't hard, but some of the others acted like they were going to get shot or something. I guess I liked English best, because of the stuff we were reading in there. We started by choosing a book to read from a list she gave us, and I chose one by Robert Louis Stevenson, called "Treasure Island." I read parts of it to Joe sometimes because it was so good. Even gym class wasn't as bad as I thought, but I still didn't like it very much. That was because we usually had to play stupid games Mr. Bailey made us play. And exercises. The locker room wasn't too bad, at least I finally got used to it. I found out that what Joe said was true -- there were a lot of guys in there who had little dicks like me. I was still probably the littlest, but at least there were other little ones. Well, there were eighth graders in there, too, and some of them were big, and a couple had a lot of hair. Those guys -- the ones with big dicks and some hair -- sort of let guys look at them. I finally figured that out, because they walked around just holding towels sometimes or took more time in the shower. The thing that scared me most -- getting a stiffie in the shower -- never happened. Joe said maybe it was because I was a little scared of it. But I did see some stiffies sometimes. Not often, and they weren't real hard, like straight out or up like mine, but you could tell they were stiffies. Once I saw one of the eighth graders with a sort of stiffie, and it was really -- lots bigger than Joe's. And everybody joked around a lot, sometimes about dicks and asses and sex and all. We could say fuck and shit if Mr. Bailey wasn't around. Joe liked this one that I told him about. One guy stuck the end of a towel in his ass and walked around making sounds like a horse. And another guy yelled at him, "You're not a horse -- not with that dick." That made everybody laugh, but I felt a little bad for the guy with the towel. The guy with a locker right next to me -- a seventh grader -- said he was developing a lot of muscles, and he would sometimes put his foot up on the bench and tell people to look at the muscle in his thigh. Only he was naked, so his dick was right there to see. Joe asked me what I did, and I said, "I looked as his dick He said, 'Look,' so I did." Not everything was okay, though. Mr. Alerton, the assistant principal, stopped me in the hall one day between classes and bawled me out for running in the hall. I was hurrying because I was almost late. But he bawled me out right in front of everybody. I really was embarrassed. And then there was the big kid. He was in the eighth grade, but he was a lot bigger than most eighth graders. I was going back to my locker after the last class, and when I walked by this guy, he said, "Where are you going, shrimp?" and pushed my books out of my hand. I wondered what was up with this guy as I picked them up, and as soon as I stood up with them, he knocked them out of my hand again! I getting pissed when I picked them up that time, but something rushed by me and slammed that big kid into the lockers. It was Joe! He almost growled at that guy -- I'd never heard him sound like that before -- "Fuck off, asshole. He's my friend and you don't mess with my friend." The guy was bigger than Joe, but Joe slammed him against the locker again, and the guy kind of looked sick and left. We had Labor Day off, so I could spend that Sunday night at Joe's. That was twice in the same week. When we woke up Saturday morning his mom had said she was going shopping in Scottsboro and we could come along. The pool was closed, so we couldn't go there, but that mall is really, really big, and she let us wander around by ourselves before we ate dinner there. Then we went back to his house and spent another night together. Sometimes on our Fridays we spent a lot of time talking about school. There were a lot of things Joe didn't like, either. But we spent lots of time in bed, too. Joe started calling it "making love." Well, sometimes he called it that. I liked that. We spent as much time as we could at our special place, too, since the weather was still okay, but we usually did more of the talking -- about serious stuff -- when we were in bed. A couple of weeks after Joe kissed me down there I decided to tell him something I had done a few times at home. I couldn't lick my own ass, but I figured I could taste it. That sounded really terrible when I first thought of it that way. Because of poop. But Joe had done it that time. So once in the shower I stuck my finger in my hole just as far as I could get it; I had to kind of stoop over to get in all in. I felt good. And when I pulled it out -- I had to do that real slowly -- I smelled it. It just smelled like the soap. Well, I had just used soap in there. I washed my hand off real good and stuck my finger in again, and this time I tasted it. It didn't really taste like anything. That's not what I expected. Then another night when I was in bed, I pulled my briefs down and started to play with my dick. I decided to try it again. It was harder to get my finger in, but I got it real wet from my mouth and finally got it in a little bit. I didn't want to use lotion, because I didn't want to taste that. When I pulled my finger out -- and that kind of hurt a little -- I smelled it. It didn't smell like soap, because I'd taken my shower right after supper. It had a smell. But not a real bad one. I had started getting it real clean when I showered. And I licked it. It just tasted like finger to me. Joe had never done that again. So when I told him all this, I asked him why he had kissed and licked me there. He just lay there for a little bit, and then he said he didn't really know. He said it was a place on me he just wanted to kiss. And he hadn't even thought of licking it, he just did it when it was down there. When I asked him what he thought I tasted like, he grinned and said, "You taste like you, Bobby, who'd you expect?" "You haven't done it any more," I said. But he didn't say anything. We sucked each other that night, and even played with our holes, but he didn't kiss it. I didn't really care, as long as I could make him happy. One of the things we really liked was what we'd done several times before. He called it "69" because of the way the numbers are. We could suck each other at the same time. And use our fingers on balls and even holes. I really liked to make him cum that way. And since I couldn't give him any cum, he really liked it when I turned around so we could kiss. I started trying to keep some of his cum in my mouth so he could have it. I never asked him about it, but I wondered if there were other guys in school who did what we did. One afternoon we were riding back from our special place, and we rode by the grade school playground. Brent -- that big guy -- was shooting hoops with some guys, and he yelled out, "There's the two guys who are queer for each other." I turned so red! I knew what that meant. "Not as queer as a big guy who lets the coach play with his dick," Joe yelled back. "Fuck you!" Brent yelled, and he threw the ball so hard it hit the fence right in front of us. Joe just laughed, and we kept on going. After a little bit, he said, "Don't let it bother you, Bobby." So I didn't say anything. But the next Friday night, when we were finally in bed, I asked him about it. "Joe, are we like that? Like he said? Queer?" "You know what it means, Bobby?" "Yeah, it means...it means boys who don't like girls but they like boys. And everybody hates..." I hated to say the word "...queers. Every time somebody in the locker room starts to get hard or something, guys start calling him queer." "That's how it is in my gym class, too." He sat up and pulled me up, and we sat crosslegged from each other. "Look, Bobby, that's just how guys tease other guys sometimes. It's like calling a guy a cocksucker or something." "But, Joe, we are cocksuckers." I shocked myself by saying it, just like that. He took both of my hands in his, and he kissed them. "This is what I know, Bobby. I know I love you. I know you're the most special guy in the world to me. I know I'm lucky to have you as my friend. I know I'm lucky because you love me back. I know I really like making love to you. And you making love to me. I know you make me happier than I've ever been. I...I love you, Bobby." Then he stopped. There were tears in his eyes. He'd never really said things like that before, not all at the same time. "I don't know if we're guys like he said. Maybe we are," Joe said. "It's none of his business, none of anybody's business. It's just you and me, and we're the only ones who count on that. We can't tell anybody because...well, you see how it is with people. They'd never understand. And as far as that shit Brent is concerned, he doesn't really think that, anyway. That's just a way assholes like him try to scare other people, hurt them. If bullies ever start giving you static, you just give it right back to them. That'll turn them off." "Joe, does he really let the coach play with his dick?" Joe laughed. "No, I doubt it, but it's a sore spot with him. He helps the coach with the basketball team, so he stays around a lot after school and after practice. I've heard guys tease him about being the coach's pet, letting the coach suck him and sucking the coach and all. Nothing to it, I don't think, but it's something guys say to him to kind of keep him in his place. You just avoid the shithead. Okay?" "Yeah, I will," I said. And then he said something that made me feel cold all over. "Bobby, I'd kill anybody who hurt you. That's how much I love you." He pulled me to him and hugged me so tight. He wouldn't really do that, I know. It's just his way of saying, well, how much he loves me. He was crying! My Joe was crying. I pulled him back down on the bed and cuddled him, held him real tight, stroked his hair. "Joe, Joe, Joe. I love you so much. Nothing will ever happen to make me stop loving you. It's you and me Joe, like you said. I'll always be here, Joe. I couldn't be anywhere else." I held him for a long time, until we finally went to sleep. We didn't need to make love another way that night, because what we'd said was making love, in a way. I think that sometimes you can make love with words. --------------------------- If you are interested, I have other stories posted at Nifty.
