Brook wasn’t in the mood to reason with them. She just pointed to the door, and they both laughed as they left us alone.
“Maybe I should be the Master,” Brook almost purred.
“What does Mistress have in mind?” I asked.
“I think you should give me one of your massages and make it all about me tonight.”
“Are you sure that’s wise? If I do that, I’ll ruin you for all other men. You might be better off if I’m a selfish jerk. I would hate to set unreasonable expectations down the line.”
“If I don’t have anything to compare it to, how will I know if anyone is better?” she asked.
I gave her a smoldering model look, which made Brook giggle. Then we both had clothes flying.
We fell into bed laughing, and I think I surprised her when I didn’t instantly attack her. Usually, when we had our adrenaline-rush adventures, we followed it with clawing, breathless, animalistic passion that turned into athletic sex. Instead, I took my time to kiss and caress her body as I worked slowly to raise her arousal.
Brook had her eyes open as I initiated foreplay and kissed her over the next hour. I turned her into a quivering mess as I teased her to one orgasm after another. I then began what turned out to be the most tender, connected sex of my life.
We both felt it, and I could tell that from this day forward, our relationship had changed. Brook wrapped her legs around my waist to give me better access as both our arousals hit new territory. My hands roamed her body, and I must have been touching her in all the right places because she responded to everything I did.
This was all about pleasing Brook, and it felt right. We had a syncopated rhythm that I’d never experienced. Comfort and intimacy were immediate and beautiful.
“I feel so safe in your arms,” Brook said breathlessly as she looked me in my eyes.
“I would never let anything happen to you,” I said, and kissed her once again.
While I’d spent time with several girls I had a connection with, I had never felt this, and it scared me. I’d sworn off relationships and promised myself I would never fall for a girl quickly again. I’d led with my heart too many times and been punished for it again and again. After I’d given Tami my promise ring, I thought I’d decided to just enjoy life and be open to experiences. But I was in danger of falling for Brook Davis.
What was there not to like? She was fun, and we had a great time together. Brook wasn’t a shrinking violet or a girly-girl. She was also smart and funny. And the sex …
“I’m close,” Brook announced.
We’d kept each other on edge for almost an hour, and I could tell by her reaction that she was about to have a huge one. We’d spent enough time together that I knew how to get her there. The problem was … would I last long enough? I think Brook sensed my dilemma and reached down and grabbed my butt to urge me on. I simply let nature take its course, and when I erupted, it was that last little push she needed to join me.
As we finally rolled apart, my last thought was: ‘I love you, Brook Davis.’ I then made the typical guy move and fell asleep.

Chapter 21 – I’m Okay with This Now Friday July 8
I woke from the best night’s sleep I’d had in ages. Good sex—no, wait … probably the best sex of my life—was the best sleeping pill ever. I heard the door open, and Cassidy walked in to wake me. I expect she was disappointed not to able to jab me in the ribs. Cassidy sat on the bed and smiled at me.
“You make her happy,” she said.
“I think I love her,” I admitted.
“You love a lot of girls,” Cassidy countered.
“No, I mean I really do love her. If we were starting our senior year of college and not high school, I might ask Brook to marry me. She and I are right in so many ways.”
“Do you mean that?” Brook asked, sitting up.
I nodded.
“I love you too,” she said, and I suddenly found her on top of me.
Cassidy pushed her off.
“He has to go to work. Let the boy up; you can kiss him later.”
Cassidy jabbed me in the ribs and then jumped back as I lunged for her.
“Fine,” I said and got up to take my shower.

I’d been in scenes with the three young men that were the core group, mainly in the background. Today, I’d be saying lines with them. Akio Toyoma played the chairman’s son. He was over six feet tall, and Hana told me he was perfect, whatever that meant. Koji Ueda was the jock of the group, and his character played baseball. Jiro Yamashita played sort of a hip nerd. He wore glasses with white frames, was maybe five-eight, and had a small frame.
Koji and Akio pulled in the girls for the parties, Koji with his athletic skills, and Akio with his position. There was only one ‘butterfly girl’ who hadn’t been taken yet. That character was played by Emily Sato. She was another actor who decided she needed an Americanized name.
Our first scene was to explain how the girls had gotten their butterfly tattoos.
Setting: The four boys are sitting at a table in the quad at lunchtime.
