face. "Believe it or not, I have to be at the office early tomorrow morning for phone conference with a foreign client. But we'll definitely be getting together again, soon."
Once he was dressed, he stopped to give her long, passionate goodnight kiss before heading off to his car. Arriving home, he was happy to find Maggie out like a light in front of the television set in the family room. He left her where she was as he silently headed upstairs to check on the kids. Afterwards, he got ready for bed, relieved that Maggie still hadn't come upstairs. He hoped she'd stay where she was for the rest of the night. Before climbing into bed he stopped to admire the nude photos of Carrie.
"Wow. Not only did I get to have a really great piece of ass, I get to have keepsake mementos to remember it by. It doesn't get any better than this."

"I 've fallen head over heals in lust. Deep, dirty, carnal, lust."
Carrie was spending the afternoon at the mall with Allison. They'd just sat down at a table in the food court and were trying to decide what to have for lunch.
"Okay," said Allison, "I was about to suggest the hot dog place, but after hearing that I think maybe the chicken teriyaki bowls would be a whole lot safer. Does that sound good to you?"
Carrie nodded, waiting at their table while Allison went to get their food. She returned a few minutes later, setting the tray down and taking her seat.
"All right, so who's the lucky guy? Anyone I know?"
"Yep," said Carrie as Allison handed a rice bowl to her. "Your friend, Scott Andrews."
"I see. That's what I figured you'd say. I seem to recall you mentioning that you'd gone out with him once or twice, but I didn't realize it had gotten, well..." Allison wasn't quite sure how to finish her sentence.
"I know. All I can say is he's a wild man, Allie. He may come across as this quiet, conservative guy, but there's a whole 'nother side to him. He's nothing like Doug was. Doug took his time, and then, when things got... intimate, Doug did it in a kind, gentle, and loving way. With Scott, it's more like a 'wham bam thank you ma'am.' He's a really fast mover. We went all the way to third base on our first date."
"Wow." An astonished Allison paused for a moment to take it all in. "I've known Scott for years, and he never struck me as the aggressive type. He was always more the quiet type, but then again, they say you need to watch out for the quiet ones. He's not forcing you into doing anything you don't want to do, is he?"
"No, not really. It's just that it happened so fast. We both agreed that it wouldn't be any kind of long-term thing, but still, he moved like lightening. I guess I threw caution to the wind."
Allison was concerned. Carrie was still emotionally vulnerable and she didn't want her being taken advantage of.
"Okay, so tell me, once you're done, does he stay the rest of the night with you?"
"So far he hasn't," replied Carrie. "On our second date, after we'd finished, you know, I asked him to spend the night, but he said he couldn't. He said he had to be at the office early the next morning, even though it was a Sunday. He mentioned something about an overseas client."
"What about your third date?"
"That hasn't happened yet. And that's the other funny thing. We had our first date, then he canceled the next two at the last minute, so I didn't get to see him again for almost a month. We finally had our second date two weeks ago. We were keeping in touch by email, but I haven't heard from him in awhile, and I've not sent him an email since the morning after our second date."
"What's keeping him so busy?"
"Work. He works long hours. Apparently, he's on call, or something. It seems he's always getting called into the office for one emergency or another."
"I see." Carrie heard the skepticism in Allison's voice. "So tell me, where did you guys go on the first two dates?"
"We went hiking at Lake Pleasant on our first date, and on the second, he took me to this really
