look.
    “We’re trying to help here, Greg,” Tania continued. “Were there some…um…problems in the bedroom?”

    Greg glanced from one beautiful woman to the other. They thought Daria had left him because he was lousy in bed? He didn’t think that was the case as he recalled their sexual encounters. She’d wanted him often. Most times, she was the instigator. He didn’t think she would have done that if he’d been mediocre or worse. It was definitely what he missed most about her. She knew what she wanted and she never hesitated to make her wants known. And she certainly seemed to enjoy the sex. He’d hate to think her eardrum shattering squeals were simply for show.
    He cleared his throat. “She never complained.” He refused to elaborate further. If he were alone with Mykal, he might be willing to say more. Though it d id disturb him that she also seemed to harbor some doubt about his abilities.
    Tania shook her head. “We never do.”
    And then he began to wonder. Did she leave because he didn’t satisfy her? Is that why she’d turned to Gary? Why she didn’t hesitate to leave him? He always gave her whatever she wanted. All she had to do was ask and it was hers. It was enough to have him pulling on his hair again.
    After dinner, Mykal took him to a barber. She slid her fingers over his scalp as she detailed to the stylist what she wanted done with his hair. There were times when he felt like her Ken doll. He kept in mind that she’d assured him if he ever disagreed with her, he could always object. But that was difficult to do when she had her hands on him. His dick had been hard throughout half their shopping trip.
    The barber, a girl with a white hair styled into a Mohawk with pink tipped spikes and earrings running the length of her ears, nodded at Mykal’s instructions. She wet his hair with water from a spray bottle. And then she began cutting. Locks of his hair floated silently to the floor. Fifteen minutes passed and then she spun him in the chair.
    His hair was close-cut on the sides, slightly longer on top and spiky. This way his sideburns stood out. Those had been trimmed also so that they were even and ended mid-ear.
    He ran a hand over the back of his head. Such a small thing, but it changed his appearance entirely. The new haircut, the new clothes, and the weight loss had him staring at his own reflection in wonder.
    Mykal stood behind him with her hands clasped together. “Do you like it?” From her barely contained enthusiasm, he could tell that she liked the look.
    He nodded. “Yeah, I think I do.”
    “Great. Now we should discuss our final steps.”
    Greg took a deep breath. He should be looking forward to what came next. Instead his belly cramped. They were so close. Staring at himself, he knew that the guy in the mirror could win Daria back. The question was…did he still want that? That empty, lonely feeling he’d had when she first left him was gone. Other than when Mykal mentioned her, he didn’t even think about Daria anymore. “Come over to my place for a movie tonight?” he asked.
    “Sure.”

    Balancing a large bowl of popcorn in one hand, Mykal climbed onto Greg’s bed. Greg set up the DVD player and turned out the light. He joined her on the bed before starting the movie. She fluffed up the pillows at her back before settling down. This wasn’t the first time they’d watched movies in his bedroom. She’d even fallen asleep on a few occasions. Greg would wake her up and walk her home when the movie ended. Of course, she didn’t tell Tania or she would never hear the end of it.
    Greg grabbed a handful of popcorn. “So…what’s next?”
    “You have to run into Daria accidentally.”
    “How am I going to do that?”
    “I know a club she frequents. ”
    He frowned. “Does she go alone or with Gary?”
    “I think it’s a girl’s night thing. She’s usually with a group of friends.”
    “She never did that when we were together.
