the only way I was going to college was if I could score a scholarship. So I walked the straight and narrow and busted my ass to get good grades. Getting into West Point and being the first person in my family to go to college was a life-changing experience for me.”
    She snuggles against me and nuzzles my neck with her nose. “I know you expect me to say something glib like ‘but that’s a character-building experience,’ but I’m sorry you had to worry so much and work so hard.” She lays the palm of her hand against my chest and settles her head on my shoulder. “I know I was lucky. I was handed experiences and opportunities other people would kill for. But that’s what my parents wanted. You wouldn’t expect me to turn it down, would you?”
    She’s got me there. It’s not her fault her family has money. “No, I wouldn’t.” I run my hand over her thigh, and she squirms against me. “What other stuff do you do at the museum?”
    “I actually have a nice variety of work. I try to arrange special exhibits whenever I can to draw extra traffic in. I plan fundraising benefits, rentals, tours, and handle management of the store.”
    “Do you enjoy it?”
    “I love it. I get to work with different people, and the work changes all the time, so I never get bored. It’s a great entry-level position, and I’m more than willing to work my way up.”
    “What does a career path look like there?”
    “I’d love to get into a more science-based position, where I could use more of what I learned in school. They have quite a few curators and researchers on staff. Something like that would be my dream job.” Her excitement is visible as she talks: her eyes light up and she grows more animated with every new thought. “I have a friend who works on some really cool research and curates an exhibit or two on the side. She’s mentoring me.”
    She smiles at me. “Sorry to drone on. I just get excited when I talk about it.”
    I lean in and kiss her forehead. “I can see that. You’re so beautiful when you get all passionate about something. I’m sure you’ll be a big success.” I pull her close and wrap my arms tightly around her as I whisper against her neck. “You’re smart and determined. That’s all you really need to succeed.” I slide my hands down to her hips and rub my rapidly hardening cock against her. She grinds back against me with a naughty little chuckle.
    “You forgot to mention how beautiful and sexy I am.” She licks my nipple, and I moan.
    “I didn’t mention it because there aren’t words to describe how beautiful and sexy you are.”
    “I guess you’ll just have to show me, then.” She throws a leg over my hip, and I feel the wet warmth of her sweet pussy against my erection. I sink home in one deep thrust.
    There’s no way this can turn into anything, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it while it lasts. Because I do enjoy being with her, more than I’m willing to admit to myself.

“ H e hasn’t called yet ?” Miriam finishes off her Diet Coke and tosses the can in the recycling. She stares at me through tortoiseshell cat-eye shaped glasses that complement her copper hair perfectly. “Texted? Anything?”
    “Total radio silence. It’s been three days and I haven’t heard anything. It’s like he dropped off the face of the earth.” I take a bite of my sandwich and try to hide my disappointment. Miri’s pretty much my best, and only, friend at work; we hit it off right away. Most of the curators are men over 50, so there’s not really anyone in her department to hang out with. She pounced on me right after I was hired and we’ve been inseparable ever since.
    “What a bastard.” She shakes her head. “You can do better. If you want to. Personally, I have a hard time believing men are worth the trouble.”
    “If you knew how much fun we had the other night, you’d know he’s worth the trouble.” I can’t stop thinking about the delicious things we did
