reallybeen ready. There was no doubt… she was ready.
    Michelle felt as though she were in a dream, where secrets unfolded in front of her as she lay there in a trance. Evan"s hands in her hair and tender kisses on her lips and neck helped calm the ecstasy of what she was experiencing inside her body. She felt lucky to share intimacy with a man who knew how to make love to a woman. And Michelle felt like a woman this day. As they climaxed together, they continued to kiss… and then each said „I love you" to the other… and they savored the moment.
    “I don"t even know what else to say,” said Michelle as she caught her breath. “Some girls at school have talked about it. And quite a few of them didn"t even like what they experienced. I knew that I would love it with you. Thanks for waiting for me.”
    “Michelle… sex is not something that ever needed to come as part of our friendship. But I will always enjoy it with you. I"m glad you loved it.”
    “You are so gentle, but you"ve lived practically forever. You must have had a lot of practice. The girls at school who didn"t like their experiencescomplained about it hurting.”
    Evan reflected. “To tell you the truth, I haven"t done this in a long, long time. And I have never done it so passionately.”
“How long has it been?”
Evan sighed and couldn"t help but smile as he thought about the answer. “I honestlydon"t remember the last time before this. The first few times, back in Greece… I guess people today would say „ancient Greece"… it was new and exciting to me. As time went by, I realized that it would never be special to me ever again until I met the one .”
Michelle gave a gigantic smile. “Me.”
Evan smiled right back as they lay facing each other. “Yes… you. One thing I know for certain… I have had no sex since I arrived in America. Neither had I in England or France, my last two countries of residence before coming to America. The problem with the male of the human species is that he generally doesn"t live long enough to come to the realization that the perfect one is worth waiting for. It"s a shame that all men don"t have twenty centuries to make a proper search.”
“I still can"t believe you have lived that long.” Michelle stared into Evan"s gentle eyes as she kept thinking about Evan"s background. “So you have done it in the past… and did you ever have any kids?”
Evan closed his eyes in a pensive moment. Then he opened them and said, “After drinking the elixir, I really didn"t expect anything to happen. Sure, I wasn"t aging, but how would I know that for certain until enough years passed? Some people can go five years… even longer… without appearing to age. I never thought that producing an offspring that would age right past me before my very eyes could possibly… or would possibly… happen.” Evan paused. “But it did. That was probably another reason for me to abstain from sexual relationships.”
Michelle"s eyes widened. “Why didn"t you give the child theelixir?”
Evan bowed his head as he lay by Michelle. “Oh, I thought about it. But it wouldn"t have been fair to the boy"s mother. I also thought about splitting the remainder of the elixir between him and his mother.” Then Evan looked directly into Michelle"s beautiful green eyes. “But she wasn"t the one. I knew that. I knew that I had the possibility of living a very long time. At one point, the boy"s chronological age exceeded my biological age. I let his mother go so she could find someone to grow old and die with together. I insisted that the boy go with her. I watched from a distance and still remember the day he passed away. My heart nearly broke. I questioned why I ever took the elixir myself. I had really believed that the elixir would not work, but my participation would further science by helping the alchemist perfect his elixir. Little did I know that his elixir had already reached perfection.”
Michelle listened intently and then the
