rest of the day and night engaged in the most thrilling sex that either of them had ever had. Jarod had slept with quite a few women in his life but never had it been as good as it was with Jen. She knew how to please a man and wasn’t afraid to do so. But, while it was obvious that they were very compatible between the sheets, what would the rest of their relationship be like? Jarod was eager to find out. He moved into his bedroom and took his suit jacket from the rack and put it on. He needed to be in court in twenty minutes so he had to hurry. It would not do to keep Judge Loman waiting. He rushed out of the house with a skip in his step.

Tracy woke the next day and threw the sheet aside. She was finally able to get out of that blasted bed. She sat up, swung her legs over the side and then immediately grabbed her head. She felt woozy and a little faint. She sat still for a moment to allow the room to stop spinning. As it settled, she eased off of the bed, grabbing the nightstand to steady herself. Then she slowly began moving toward the bathroom. She was halfway there when Jen entered the room. “Tracy! What are you doing out of bed?” Jen exclaimed as she rushed to Tracy’s side. “I’m getting out of that bed if it is the last thing I do. I can’t stand to be in it another second,” Tracy retorted. “But the doctor said you…” “Screw that doctor! He’s not the one going batty staring at the Goddamn ceiling twenty-four seven,” Tracy snapped. “Besides, it’s the fourth day and I have to go see him today.” “I’m well aware of that and I plan on taking you there myself. If you’re up to it let’s go now,” Jen said. “Wonderful. But I need a shower first; then we can go,” Tracy said, stopping at the closet for some clothes on her way to the bathroom. Jen moved to the chaise, sunk into it and picked up a magazine from the end table. She hummed tunelessly as she flipped through its pages. Tracy noticed Jen’s mood. “You’re feeling good. Any particular reason why?” Tracy asked from inside the walk-in closet. “Mmm, no,” Jen said. Tracy came out of the closet and laid her red sun dress on the bed. “I don’t believe you. You haven’t smiled or hummed a single note since we’ve been here. Something is up. What is it?” Tracy demanded. Jen couldn’t hold it in any longer. She turned to face Tracy. “Jarod invited me to lunch yesterday. We had a fabulous time,” Jen said sunnily. “Jen, that’s great. I thought he had his eye on you. Where did he take you to eat?” Tracy asked. Jen paused. “Well…we never got around to eating; at least not in a restaurant,” Jen said slyly. “Huh? You’re losing me. Where did you have lunch?” Tracy asked, her typical wit clouded by her time spent convalescing. “At his house,” Jennifer revealed. Then she held her breath while awaiting Tracy’s response. This time Tracy paused. She knew her sister very well. Had her hormones taken over her better judgment? “And just what happened at his house?” Tracy questioned playfully. “We made out,” Jen hedged. “Made out? Is that all ?” Tracy pressed. Jennifer sighed. “We had hot, racy sex and I loved it,” Jen blurted. “Jen!” Tracy exclaimed. “Even before your first date?” “But Tracy, he’s so frickin’ good! I’ve never been with a man that is as good as he is!” Jen said elatedly. “If I had my way I would still be in his bed.” Tracy raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Who would have thunk it?” she joked. “Exactly!” Jen said. “And I can’t wait to see him again.” “I’m sure you can’t. But don’t you think you should try and get to know him, as well?” Tracy asked. “A relationship can’t survive or thrive on sex alone.” “I’m not so sure,” Jen grinned. “This sex was awesome
