He stood up, struggling out of his own bathing shorts and embracing her,and then, naked in each other’s arms, they were lying on his bed and she could feel him enteringher and it was enough, just the slight touch, for her to reach her climax and then in the secondafterward she could read in the motions of his body, his surprise. She felt the overwhelmingshame she had felt before she knew Sonny, but Jules was twisting her body over the edge of thebed, positioning her legs a certain way and she let him control her limbs and her body, and thenhe was entering her again and kissing her and this time she could feel him but more importantshe could tell that he was feeling something too and coming to his climax.When he rolled off her body, Lucy huddled into one corner of the bed and began to cry.She felt so ashamed.
