People would talk and . . .” “Oh, Ma’am, I wouldn’t tell anyone, I promise. I’m a man of my word.” “I know but I just wouldn’t feel right, you know, with us going off together to Des Moines in a few weeks. I wouldn’t want to give anyone the wrong idea.” “Who… ah… would?” he stuttered, unsure what to say or how to get the words out just right. “You for a start,” she said bluntly. “I don’t want you thinking we can do this whenever the urge strikes, you know. Sins of the flesh and all. I just wouldn’t want it on my conscious that I’d corrupted you that way.” Corrupt me. Corrupt me! He wanted to say, but again his words failed him. He closed his eyes thinking of their upcoming trip and wondering how he would get through being that close to her and not being able to touch her. It was going to take a stronger will than his… and he had a feeling she wasn’t going to like that one bit. He hoped he was wrong . . . end of excerpt Warning: Intimate situations. Story.
