head at me? I’m a single
adult and I’m going.”
“Of course you are going, but not until you fix yourself
up first. Are you crazy? A man calls you to come over this
late and there is only one reason for it that I know of and you
are not going looking like that! Go into my bathroom and put

some hairspray in your hair and put on some lipstick and
blush, you look like death. I’ll go find my black velvet top in
the closet. You can wear that. No man wants to see a girl in a
sweatshirt. And you can borrow The Amulet, too, for good
luck.”
Donna raised a brow. The Amulet, Grace’s lucky dating
necklace, this was serious. The enormity of the situation
began to take shape.
“Maybe you should bring a bottle of wine,” Grace
suggested. “You know, to set the mood.”
Donna, already in ‘the mood’, frowned. “He’s taking
pain killers. I don’t want to kill him.”
“Yeah, guess not. Do you have a condom with you?”
Grace asked matter-of-factly.
That question stopped Donna in her tracks. “No! Why
would I need a condom to come over and play Scrabble with
you?”
Grace shook her head. “A single girl should always be
prepared. You never know.” She went to a drawer just inside
her bedroom door and pulled out a strip of foil packages.
“You better take a few. He looked like quite a man.”
Donna started to protest that she probably wouldn’t even
need one, then reconsidered. She was going to a man’s
apartment—one she was very attracted to—practically in the
middle of the night. Shoving the entire strip Grace handed
her into her purse Donna mumbled a ‘thanks’ while her heart
sped at the thought she might very well be using them this
very night.
Perhaps being a lesbian might be easier, but it would not
be half as much fun.

Chapter 8
“Well, Casanova, you are in luck. My brother-in-law the
pharmacist says the prescription painkillers you are taking
should not adversely affect your sexual performance. Of
course, it will still be only as good as usual. I can’t help you
there.” Gary sounded extremely smug over the phone.
“What’s wrong, Gary? Jealous?” Sam didn’t like the
ribbing, and he did not dare even imagine that conversation
between Gary and his brother-in-law, but he did like the
answer. If it got that far with Donna, which he surely hoped
it would, his only issue would be his bum arm. There was
enough caffeine now coursing through his body that falling
asleep again would definitely not be a problem. He would be
‘up’ all night.
Sam chuckled at his own little pun as Gary answered his
previous question, “Hell yeah, I’m jealous! Have fun, you
lucky bastard.”
“Oh, believe me, I will. Talk to you tomorrow… late
tomorrow.”
“Gotcha.” He could hear Gary laughing as he hung up.
Pizza ordered, annoying friend disposed of, sexual
performance fears dispelled...now all he needed was the girl.
Hearing a tentative knock on the door, Sam smiled as his list
became complete.
Using his one good arm, Sam unlocked and opened the
door to reveal the vision of his dream girl.
“Hi.” She smiled brightly up at him until her gaze
dropped to the bandage clearly visible. He had managed to
put on a sleeveless tank top, but that was all. Donning a real
shirt had been beyond him at the time since the painkillers
had worn off.
Sam watched Donna’s face soften, along with her voice.
“Does it still hurt? Can I help you do anything?”
In actuality, the pills had kicked in a while ago. It did
still ache, but the outright pain was gone. No need for her to
know that, though, and there was plenty he could think of for

her to do. Sam raised his good hand to the bandage and
watched her eyes follow his movement. “It hurts a bit. I’ll be
fine, though.”
Her eyes rose to his and he saw something in them that
nearly stopped his heart, raw blatant lust. That was
