you know,
what I really want to do.”
    Mary frowned.
“Sounds like an easy way to make some extra money. String you along
by pretending he’s concerned about you.”
    Julie shook her
head. “No, it’s not like that. He said he would take my virginity
on the second date if that was what I wanted.”
    “And is
it?”
    “Yes. The way
Court makes me feel, I’ve never felt anything like it before.” She
blushed and gave Mary a nervous look. “I want him so badly,
Mare.”
    Mary was giving
her an odd look and she set the make-up brush down before crouching
and taking Julie’s hands. “Jules, you’re not falling for this guy,
are you?”
    “What?” Julie
shook her head quickly. “No, of course not.”
    “That’s good
because, honey, you know he doesn’t care for you, right? I mean, it
doesn’t sound like he’s cold-hearted and he’s obviously got morals,
but you haven’t forgotten he’s being paid for this, have you?”
    “No, I haven’t,
Mary.” Julie said a bit crossly and pulled her hands free. “I might
be naïve and a bit clueless but I’m not stupid. I know Court is
only being nice to me because I’m paying him to.”
    “That isn’t
what I meant.” Mary said soothingly. “I just meant that it’s not a
good idea to get too attached to this guy.”
    “This was your
idea. Remember, Mary? Get my stupid v-card out of the way so I
could find someone to have a relationship with. Are you telling me
that I shouldn’t go through with it now because Court is a nice
guy?”
    “No, not at
all.” Mary replied. “But,” she took Julie’s hands again and held
them tightly, “don’t get attached to him, alright? Just keep a
level head and remember that you’re going to sleep with this guy so
that you can find someone to have a real relationship with. You
don’t want to go thinking that you can have a relationship with an
escort. That isn’t going to happen, honey.”
    “I know it
isn’t.” Julie said firmly. “Now, hurry up and finish. Court will be
here any minute.”

    Court
straightened his tie before ringing the doorbell. Julie had called
the day after the fair and set up an appointment for tonight. Cal
had asked what he wanted to do and Court had directed him to tell
Julie he would be taking her out for a formal dinner.
    The door opened
and he stared in surprise at the slim redhead standing in front of
him. “Oh, hi. I was looking for Julie?”
    “Come on in.
You’re Cal, right?” The woman replied.
    “Yes.” He stood
in the hallway as the woman looked him up and down.
    “My name is
Mary. I’m Julie’s best friend.”
    “It’s nice to
meet you.” He shook her hand and she led him down the hallway and
into the living room.
    “It’s nice to
meet you too. Julie will be right down.”
    “Thanks.”
    “You bet. Can I
get you a drink?” Mary asked.
    He shook his
head. “No, thank you. I – “
    He stopped, his
eyes widening as he looked behind Mary’s shoulder.
    Mary grinned
and turned to see Julie standing in the doorway. “Hello, doll.”
    “Hi, Mary. Hi
Cal.”
    “Hello, Julie.”
He didn’t recognize his own voice. It was hoarse with need and
desire and he cleared his throat as Mary gave him a knowing
grin.
    Julie, dressed
in a form-fitting blue dress and heels, looked like a goddess. He
licked his lips and tried not to stare at the gorgeous amount of
cleavage on display as Mary grinned again and picked up her
purse.
    “Well, I’m
going to head out. Have fun, Jules.” She kissed Julie on the cheek
and winked at her before nodding to Court and leaving. They heard
the front door close and Julie gave Court a nervous smile.
    “How are
you?”
    “Speechless.”
    “Is that good
or bad?” She asked.
    “Good. Very,
very good. You look amazing, Julie.” He walked toward her and had
to stop himself from tracing his fingers over her exposed
cleavage.
    “Thank you,
Court.” She flushed prettily at the dark look of desire he was
giving her.
    He took a
