boyfriends would dance more. The boys talked sports and danced when the nagging got too much for them.
Parties always happened at Kurt’s house, because his mother would arrange to be out on a date. That way she wouldn’t have to confront the beer that they drank indoors and the marijuana that they smoked in the yard to avoid smelling up the house.
For days Diana had groped for some way to congratulate Kurt on his graduation. All she could come up with was the same way she had rewarded him for everything for a full year now.
She intercepted him as he made his way from one conversation in the kitchen to another in the living room. She grabbed him by the necktie that he still wore at half-mast and pulled him into his bedroom. Everyone saw, and cheered.
That’s okay, she thought. He’s entitled to feel good tonight.
She smiled at him and held his eyes with hers as she sank slowly to her knees. She had no need to look at his belt as she unbuckled it, or at his pants as she unbuttoned them and tugged them and his boxer shorts down to his knees. His erect penis had already parted his shirttails. Diana had compared him to pictures in skin magazines, and she knew that he was well endowed.
She kissed his penis from below, so she could continue to look into his eyes. Then she took just the tip in her mouth and teased it with her tongue.
As she had expected, he came immediately in her mouth. That was part of her plan. She swallowed and continued to stimulate him with her lips and tongue, until he was erect again.
She pushed him gently backwards until he sat down on his bed. Then she started to strip for him. Under her modest skirt and blouse, instead of the usual utilitarian bra and pantyhose, were matching black panties, bra, garter-belt, and stockings. The men’s magazines she had seen always showed women who never took their stockings and high heels off, so that’s how she ended her dance.
Kurt just sat there.
Diana felt a tiny flare of annoyance, but she stifled it. She climbed onto the bed, crawled behind Kurt, and stretched out on her back. She put her hands on his shoulders and whispered, “Come on.”
He stood up and dropped his pants to the floor. He kicked them away and then took his tie and his shirt off. He climbed onto her and entered her efficiently. With his eyes averted to her shoulder he pumped away and quickly came again. He rolled off her body and lay next to her on his back.
As she had done many times with him, Diana masturbated. She enjoyed the extra lubrication of his semen in her. Her orgasm began to build.
“Do you have to do that?”
The voice was his. A stranger’s couldn’t have astonished her more, because he had never said anything similar before.
She froze.
“I like to do it,” she said. “I like to do it when you’re with me.”
“How do you think it makes me feel?”
“I don’t know. Good, maybe. Like we’re together and enjoying it.”
“I don’t like feeling like I’m not enough for you,” he said.
“What do you mean, you’re not enough for me?”
“If you have to do that, I’m not enough.”
“I like to come, too. What’s wrong with that?”
“What’s wrong with you?” he said. “Girls don’t like sex that much. They give it to somebody they love.”
“That went out with the dinosaurs. Where have you been?”
“All the girls say it.”
“You’ve been taking surveys?”
“And you’re not supposed to be the one to make it happen,” he said. “I am. I’m the man here. Everybody’s out there laughing at me.”
“Us. There’s two of us here, remember? If they’re laughing, which I doubt, it’s at us. I think they envy us, but if you think they’re laughing, maybe we shouldn’t do it anymore. I won’t have to go back to the doctor for more pills, and look my grandmother in the eye, and ask her to tell the doctor she wants me to have them. That never bothered you, did it?”
“Yeah, right,” said Kurt. “You’ll give it up. I
