�That�s what you�re wearing?�

Tess looked down, trying to figure out what was wrong with her
outfit. She was wearing a pair of
low-slung drawstring sweats and a tank-top over a sports bra. �This is what I normally wear when I�m
working out.� Yes,
other than the fact that her own mind betrays her sometimes. How can you even be sure of which part of her
you�ve aroused? Maybe it�s Tess, but
maybe it�s crazy!Tess. Sands deepened the
kiss, trying to ignore his conscience.
He�d lived most of his life without it � he didn�t need it butting in
now.

Tess moaned as Sands� tongue confidently thrust into her mouth. This still didn�t feel quite right, but it
felt good, and she�d so rarely felt
good.
If Sands was a drug, then she was well on her way to addiction, and if
there was one thing she�d learned growing up in a drug family, it was how well
people could be controlled through their additions . . . .

Sands groaned as Tess pu fre free, but he didn�t fight her. It was true that he could probably overpower
any doubts that might be running through her mind, but that�d just make things
harder for him the next time around.
Tess got to her feet, unpleasantly surprised to find that her knees were
a bit shaky. Nonetheless, she backed
away from Sands, slowly shaking her head.
She wouldn�t allow herself to be controlled. Not like this and not by this man.

�Running, conejo?�

�Of the 36 ways of avoiding disaster, running away is always
best.� Still
kng hng her eyes trained on the man who was upsetting her, Tess picked up her
shoes, jacket, and bag, and left the room before he could say anything else.

He let her go. He�d seen the
confused and accusing look in her eyes � hardly a look that inspired him to
press her for more. She was skittish and
she didn�t trust him . . . but she was vulnerable when it came to him. As nice as that was, it disturbed him that he
was somewhat vulnerable to her as well.
It was a good thing that Tess had left when she had, he had to do some
thinking about exactly what he wanted from her and how to best do that.

Groaning, he got up from the floor, ignoring his knees as they let out
quiet protests. He slipped on his own
shoes and left the private room, not at all surprised to find that Tess was
nowhere in sight. Not that it mattered
at the moment, but she was going to have to get used to working under his
command.

*******************************************

Tess had retreated to the ladies�
locker room. In her state, it would be a
mistake to get behind the wheel of a car.
No. He�s not that
important. If I was going to go through withdrawal,
it would have been last year after I�d been around him for months.
The only second chance we get is to make the
same mistake twice.
I haven�t made that mistake yet.
Yes, you have.
cla class=MsoNormal> How?
You left before you knew how to deal with the
feelings and sensations.
So I should have stayed and . . . and. . . .
No.
Then I was right
to leave?
No.

Fed up, Tess thought harshly, Then just what is it
that I should have done?
It is not possible to fight beyond your
strength even if you strive.

She recognized the quote from Homer.
Just what are you suggesting? She had the feeling that she �t g�t going to
like it.

I�m suggesting that if you don�t want to turn into an unthinking pile
of goo every time Sands touches you, you need to learn how to cope with the
feelings he causes.
The only way to do
that is to experience them, and there�s only one way to experience them. The voice was silent, offering no
counsel. She knew what that meant. No. No, I don�t think that�s a good idea at
all. You felt that. It was different than
the last time. If every time I . . .
become intimate with someone is going to be different, then this is a pointless
exercise.
It�s
not like I want you to go out and sleep with every man
you meet. Just the one that presents the
worst threat. Once you know what to
expect from him and from your body, then you�ll be fine.
And if I do get addicted?
The hormones released during and after sex can be very habit forming.

Don�t worry. I�ll handle that
part.
That didn�t comfort her. Look. He�s going to keep pressing his advantage
every chance he gets. What is it that
Sun Tzu said?
Find your enemy�s
weakness and exploit it. Tess gave the whole
cockamamie scheme some thought. So, what you�re suggesting,
is that I shore up that particular weakness before he can get a good foothold.
It�s
better than falling into bed with him against your better judgment. At least if it�s your choice and you know why
you�re doing it, then it shouldn�t be that bad. Irreverently, it
added, Besides, he�s got a good body.
Shut up. Tess realized her
cell phone was ringing and that it probably had been for some time. She pulled the phone out of her bag and
answered it. �Hello?�

�Aunt Tess, Amy wants to know if I can spend the night at her house.�

Tess smiled at the plaintive tone in Alma�s voice, before the voice in her head butted into the
conversation. Sands would love to spend the
night with you.
Give it up! It�s not going to happen. �Isn�t tonight a
school night, Alma?�

You mean it won�t happen tonight.
�No, T�a. We have
tomorrow off. It�s parent-teacher
conferences.�

It won�t happen ever. �Ok.
Then, is your homework done?�
Sooner or later, one of us is going to wear you down.

�Yes, T�a.�

Tess put her importunate voice on hold as she considered Alma�s request. �Have you already
asked Mrs. Milner?�

�Yes.�

�All right, then it�s fine with me.� Over the squeals and the excited chatter that
told Tess that Amy was at Alma�s elbow, Tess loudly said, �But I want you to make sure
your room is picked up before you go, or I�ll come over and get you.�
