I SAT IN a crowded coffee shop in downtown Seattle, nursed a caramel mocha, and tried to pretend I wasn’t nervous.I was nervous. So nervous I literally jumped when my cell phone buzzed from my purse. I fumbled to pull it out and gave a silly giggle of relief when I heard on the other end.“Is he there yet?” Kelly asked.“No. I told you. We’re not supposed to meet until three o’clock. Not for fifteen more minutes.”“I thought he might be early.”“Then why did you call?”“I’m dying here! You have to call me the minute you’re done.”I laughed, relaxing a little in the face of Kelly’s characteristic, pestering impatience. “I will. I told you I would. Who else would I call?”“Definitely not any of your other acquaintances. I can’t believe you’re really doing this. You get to have all the fun.”Shifting in her seat restlessly, I tried for tartness as she asked, “You call this fun?”“Well, you’re going to be paying him a lot of money. It sure as hell better be fun for you.”To her infinite

I CHECKED INTO my room in an upscale Seattle hotel at about six o’clock on Friday evening. I wanted to get there early enough to relax and prepare before oyin arrived.I’d started to change my mind about this encounter about twenty times over the last three days.

While I had no need to impress oyin or try to attract him, I didn’t want to embarrass myself with excess hair. The bath helped to relax me, as did the second glass of white wine I poured from the bottle I ordered from room service. I’d turned off my cell phone when I a

“Not boss me around or be some sort of dominant asshole. Just kind of guide me through it a little.” my cheeks were blazing red, and I peeked at him through my eyelashes. There were no signs on his face that he thought I was a freak or an idiot. “If that wouldn’t make you uncomfortable.”He blinked. Although I didn’t know what would have surprised him in her last comment. “Of course,” he said after just a moment. “That makes sense. I’ll do what I can. Why don’t you get in bed?”While I pulled the sheet and comforter down, oyin turned off the overhead lights and took off his shoes and socks. Then I stretched out, breathing deeply and forcing myself to relax.She smiled over at oyin as he sat down on the edge of the bed next to her and reached over to turn off the bedside light. He smiled back, and that was the last clear image she had of his face.In the dark room, I felt less exposed and selfconscious. I was starting to think that this wouldn’t be too bad that I'd worked myself up ove
