making plans for where to eat after
class, you can tell the group you’re bringing someone, and when they start
asking questions I can step in and answer for you.”
    “What would you say?”
    “Apparently, Frisco likes girls and boys. I’ve
already met Cameron, and he’s a cutie pie, but he’s a little shy so ya’ll need
to promise to be nice to him.”
    “I don’t take Cam on dates, Chica.”
    “He does what you order him to, so tell him he’s
going to be your boyfriend for the evening. Tell him exactly how you want him
to act, and he will. He’s been very well trained and he wants to please you.”
    Frisco didn’t respond and Sam said, “Look, the point
is, if the group thinks you’ve been hiding this from them, it makes it look
like you’re ashamed. If they think you just haven’t told them before because it
hasn’t come up, and now that you’re seeing someone kind of serious you’re
telling them, it comes across different, right?”
    “Can’t you just convince Cassie to drop it?”
    “I can try, if that’s the route you’d rather go, but
my advice is to come out of the closet about being bisexual, and evade any
questions concerning the kinky stuff.”
    “Why is it anyone’s business?”
    “Because you’re so flamboyant when you flirt with
girls and talk about being a player. You’ve given the appearance of sharing who
you are with us, but by holding such a big part back, it feels as if you’ve
deceived us about who you really are.”
    “So why tell them I like guys, but not tell them what
I do to them?”
    “Because vanillas just don’t get the kinky stuff,
Francisco. Besides, that stuff is private. You only do it behind closed doors.”
    “The bisexual part of my life is private, Sam.
No one knows except people in the lifestyle. My family knows I rent out the
space over the garage, but they don’t know the arrangement. Usually, the people
at The Diamond Club are just people in the lifestyle. Cassie didn’t even know
the place existed before you took her.”
    Suddenly, it was all clear to Sam. “So, when you date
girls, and you have Cam at home waiting for you, the girls don’t know what he
really is to you?”
    “No. Never. Cam is sent to his apartment when I have
girls over. They never meet him.”
    Sam took a breath and tried not to sound exasperated.
“You’ll never have a normal, healthy relationship if the woman doesn’t know who
you really are, Frisco.”
    More silence, and Sam said, “I hate doing this over
the phone. You’re my friend, and that won’t change. We’ll talk about this more
when I get back, just promise you won’t walk away from the group if Cassie
pushes it.”
    When Sam disconnected, she looked at Ethan and said,
“Frisco is so close to his mom and sisters, and he comes from a huge Catholic
family. He’ll never come out of the closet to his family, which means he
doesn’t want to tell anyone outside the lifestyle. Ever.”
    “We’ll see where things stand when we get back, but
for now, how about a moonlit walk on the beach?”

    Ethan wouldn’t admit how much it bothered him, but it
was killing him to be in the dark about Sam’s arrangements for the day. They’d
agreed early on for her to make plans for Tuesday, and him to make plans for
Thursday. He’d arranged for a guide to take them on an extensive sea kayak
trip, but he had no idea what she’d planned for today.
    She’d advised him to wear bike shorts under his
regular shorts, and had tossed him a wicking tee shirt. She wore a small
backpack with sunscreen, all-natural bug repellant, extra water, some snacks,
and their basic outdoors first-aid kit. The bike shorts might mean a bike ride,
but could just as easily mean a sea kayak trip, or even a snorkeling trip if
she was trying to throw him off base.
    They ate at a wonderful little breakfast café, and
then Sam let the GPS tell Ethan how to get to their destination.
    He was shocked when they
