‛Twenty first?’ she perked. ‛I’ve been twenty one for twelve years. You are a<br />
terrible flirt.’ In an awkward pause, she looked nervously about the room, ‛What subject<br />
are you studying?’<br />
‛I’ve got a canine neuroanatomy exam. But I’ve had to go back to basic physiology<br />
because I failed a subject last year when I was sick.’<br />
‛What was wrong with you?’<br />
‛My shrink calls it depression, but it was definitely a virus. I couldn’t get the taste<br />
of metal out of my mouth.’ I nervously looked away, ‛Anyway, I’d better get back to the<br />
Raas system, so unless you know a bit about basic physiology...’<br />
She took a step into my room, ‛Raas? That sounds Egyptian.’<br />

I gave her a lift on my motorbike. She didn’t know about the pillion foot-pegs, so<br />
for the three minute ride, she cranked her pelvis hard against mine <strong>and</strong> clung to my ribs<br />
with the ferocity of a cat, her feet swinging wildly akimbo. The sensation was so erotic<br />
with her thighs wrapped around mine.<br />
When we got to the pool, I noticed about twenty students already swimming in<br />

tennis courts a few hundred yards away.
