The First Day

         Adam stood quietly in front of his desk, arms clasped behind his back, staring quietly at the young girl in front of him. Woman, technically, but she was young enough that he automatically thought of her as a girl. She looked nervous, waiting, obviously wondering if he was going to say something, or if she should. She fidgeted slightly, then got herself under control. He liked that. It boded well that she could control her nervousness, her fears.

Some Pain, More Pleasure

   Katie smiled to herself as she pulled out the key to unlock the front door, but even her smile couldn't cover the shaking of her hands. She was nervous. With good reason, too, when she thought about what Jon had said this morning as he kissed her good-bye. In her mind she could see the look in his eyes when he leaned over her. "I've got special plans for tonight, my dear. Make sure you're home early."
