Free Nice Girl by Kate Baum Page A

caught.   At that point I realized I had the most boring sex ever.  Not that I wanted to be an exhibitionist.  Personally I was grossed out by hearing Anthony and Carmella.  What I did want though was something completely contrary than what I had experienced the few times I did have sex.  I still was carrying those feelings of disappointment. 
    Dee kept teasing us all with the orgasm pact.  I began playing the “southern belle Annie scenario” in my brain.  A man so adept at taking me to that highest pleasure over and over again.  When Carmella walked in, I was jealous.  I didn’t want Anthony or to be heard in public like them.  However, I did want to reach that unrestrained fervor.  To be excited even past exhilaration.  I thought of how I pledged to Eve that I was going to deny myself until I met a man who wouldn’t disappoint me. 
    I didn’t confess to my girlfriends that, after hearing Anthony and Carmella, I was craving a man bringing me to an orgasm more than ever.
    Vinnie grunted at me every day when he walked in.  Sometimes when I turned, I saw him staring at me.  Well at least he is making some sort of eye contact I thought.  I did want to become more comfortable around him.  He was my biggest test so far as I practiced my strong confident woman persona.
    I was becoming more knowledgeable about answering questions when potential clients called.  Anthony was pleased with my progress.  I could tell he wanted me to take the upper hand when dealing with client calls.  Jamie kept me updated on the cases they were working on and the details.  I was learning so much.  I had never realized how fascinating the world of private investigations was.  Jamie acted like a lot of it was boring.  He would whine about the hours he spent on the computer tracking down information.  He laughed when I said the nights they spent in the surveillance van watching out for a suspect sounded exciting.  I guess I was only hearing the end result.  I wasn’t putting hours in before something actually happened.  But when it did…..sometimes the story was amazing. 
    My favorite was when they were tracking down a stalker.  The clients were a wealthy man and his drop dead gorgeous wife.  She was obviously a trophy wife.  She was much younger than her husband.   Whereas she was beautiful, the husband was ugly and wrinkly.  I couldn’t imagine sleeping next to that for all the money in the world.  They met with Anthony and Vinnie in the newly furnished conference room.   At one point, Anthony had asked me to bring a box of tissues to the conference room.  The wife was crying.  I felt kind of bad that I looked down at her for marrying a man so much older and all.  Whether she married him for his money or not, she still didn’t deserve to be harassed by a psycho.   
    When I walked into the conference room, both the husband and Anthony were trying to console the wife.  Vinnie just stared off in space like he was bored.  I asked the woman if she’d like a drink of water and she nodded and calmed down a little.  Anthony smiled his appreciation.  I came back in with the water.  Anthony, Vinnie, and the husband were now deep in conversation.  I put my hand on the wife’s shoulder and leaned down to ask her quietly if she needed anything else. 
    She looked up at me gratefully and said “I’ll be okay now.  I just had to get it out.”
    I whispered, “Don’t worry.  These guys are good.  Anthony and Vinnie will get him.”
    She nodded to me.  I could tell she was calming down so I stepped away to leave.  It was then that I made eye contact again with Vinnie.  There was something about his piercing gaze that was starting to unravel me.  It wasn’t the same fear I felt when I heard him threatening to kill a man the day of my interview.  No, I wasn’t scared anymore.  I was frustrated that I couldn’t figure it out.  He made my heart race.  I felt alarms going off in my head but what
