 I felt his hand tighten around my fingers.  Jack starred into my eyes then
leaned over and kissed my cheek.  We sat holding each other for quite some
time.

   Jack helped me around the house that afternoon and when we finished I
grabbed the phone out of the kitchen and rang Jerry's phone.

   "Hi.  It's.  Me.  Lacy.  I was just calling to find out if you were
still offering that dinner date?"

   Jerry was thrilled to hear from me and we set up a date for the
following Friday.  I wasn't ready to go out to a strange place with a man I
really didn't know so I offered to cook for him and he accepted.

   I figured I would be safely home near my husband and it would allow me
to watch Jack's reaction once I'm around anther man.  I'd feel guilty going
out with Jerry knowing that my husband was at home wondering if I were
going to be unfaithful.  I assumed that Jack might feel different once
another man tries to get intimate with me.

   Besides.  Big men scared me and I felt safer being home and around my
surroundings.  I wondered what Jack could possibly do if Jerry were to take
advantage of me without my consent?  Jack wasn't any bigger then me!

   It was Thursday and Jack was working on the computer.  I was beginning
to feel as if something were wrong.  He hadn't joked around all week.  He
never even brought up the subject of my date with Jerry.  He kept busy
doing his work at his desk.

   Later that night, Jack seemed to be his old self again.  He teased me
and we took a shower together before bed time.  We were laying in bed when
Jack put his leg on top of mine.  He put his arm around me and pulled me
tightly against him.  We kissed and snuggled until he finally brought up
the subject of, Jerry.

   "Are you nervous or looking forward to your dinner date with Jerry
tomorrow evening?"

   I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.  "I think I'm starting to get
nervous and scared.  I haven't even considered what I'm going to wear!"

   "Why not wear your new dress?"

   I rubbed his back and kissed his lips.  "Don't you think that dress is
too revealing?  I mean, its our first date!"

   Jack starred into my eyes.  "Oh.  Do you think there will be more?"

   I tried to laugh off what I just said.  "Oh.  Baby.  You know what I
mean.  I hardly know this guy.  I know I'll feel safe with you being here
with me."

   Jack giggled.  "What exactly I'm I supposed to do if I have to stop him
from getting fresh with you?"

   I didn't answer that question right away.  I just kissed his lips and
rubbed his shoulder and watched his expression as he waited for me to
reply.

   "Jack.  What do you want me to do if he wants to kiss me?  Should I let
him?"

   He was looking sort of strange at me with a grin.  "I think you're too
afraid to let him kiss you.  I might have to drag you out of the closet
from hiding from him before the night is over!"

   I pushed him back on the bed.  "Oh.  Is that so?"

   We started tickling each other until I kissed him and when we finished I
rolled back off Jack as he said.  "I might go and read in out guest room
tomorrow evening so I'll want to know all the details if you do."

   It was Friday afternoon and I just finished taking my shower.  Jack came
in to check on me a few minutes ago.  He was wearing a skirt and blouse and
was out in the kitchen cooking for me.  I wiggled into the tiny thong and
pulled the little straps around my hips.  I dabbed a tiny spot of perfume
around my belly and took the dress off the hook.

   I squeezed into the red dress and adjusted my boobs in the material so
they fit evenly.  I sat on the little stool we had in the bathroom and put
on my pumps.  By the time I got my makeup on and brushed my hair, it was
almost time for Jerry to arrive.

   Jackie had the table set and was putting the finishing touches on the
food.  The doorbell rang and I gave Jackie a kiss before heading out to
answer the door.

   I greeted Jerry who looked much different in his dress clothes then he
did in his mechanic's outfit.  He brought me flowers and gave me a little
kiss on my cheek when he walked into the house.  I had him sit on the sofa
while I put the flowers in a vase and got us drinks.

   Jackie walked out to say hello to Jerry and said that she had to watch
the food but it would be ready soon.

   "Oh.  You have your sister, cooking for us?"

   I laughed.  "I made our desert but Jackie wanted to cook the meal. 
She's a good cook."

   We talked for about half an hour before Jackie called us into the
kitchen.  He told me about his boat and a classic car he had been working
on.  I found him very interesting and he seemed very smart.

   I was surprised that Jackie seemed to warm up to him at dinner.  I could
hardly get a word in the way they were talking.  I felt more comfortable
having Jackie involved in our conversation.  We all sat down in the family
room and drank wine and talked for a long time.

   Jerry talked about growing up in Detroit and told me about his family.
He even showed me pictures of his parents and sisters.

   We were so involved in talking that I didn't even notice that Jackie had
brought out an ice bucket with a couple bottles of wine for us.  He also
put on music on the CD player.  I hadn't noticed that Jackie had turned
down the lighting in the room until she excused herself and said, good
night to Jerry.

   I didn't get nervous until Jackie winked at me as she headed for the
guest room like she said she would.  Jerry was pouring us a glass of wine
and toasted our meeting and sat back and smiled at me.

   "Your sister thought of everything, hasn't she?"

   I smiled and took a sip of my wine.  I couldn't help notice the tattoo
on his arm.  He saw me looking and laughed.  "I played football back in my
college days.  That's our team logo, your looking at on my arm."

   I lifted his shirt sleeve up so I could see the rest of it and he helped
me pull up the material so I could see it.  I began feeling his muscles and
couldn't believe how big his arm was in diameter.  Jerry flexed his arm for
me and I had to take both hands to squeeze it which caused him to laugh.

   "You are a tiny little lady, aren't you!"

   I just smiled at him and quickly tried to change the subject.  "How
would you like to dance?"

   He only smiled at me as he stood and held out his hand to help me off
the sofa.  We walked to the center of the room and started dancing to the
music that Jackie had put on the CD player.  Jerry put his hands on my
shoulders as I held onto his waist.  He was so much taller then I that I
felt as if I were dancing with a giant.

   I was fascinated by his size and didn't feel afraid any longer.  I guess
the wine had relaxed me a little as I boldly began to squeeze his waist,
feeling his abs.

   I kept starring up into his eyes as we danced and he chuckled as he felt
my fingers moving around his waist.  His hands rested on my shoulders and I
felt his thumbs moving across my skin.  He chuckled again as my fingers
must have tickled him.

   "Oh.  I'm sorry, Jerry.  I'm just so fascinated by all of these muscles
you have!"

   We swayed to the music while I starred into his eyes.  I moved my hand
around to the front of his shirt and felt how solid he was.

   "Why don't you unbutton my shirt so you can get a better feel?"

   I smiled as I kept looking into his eyes and unbuttoned the button
closest to his belt and put my hand inside and rubbed his skin.

   Jerry leaned down and kissed me on my lips.  I kissed him back and
starred into his eyes again.  He lowered his head again and put his lips on
mine and I felt his tongue poking between my lips and accepted it.  I
sucked it into my mouth and felt Jerry pulling me closer to his body.

   I felt that tingling in my body as we passionately kissed.  Our tongues
mingled as I slowly unbuttoned the rest of his shirt until it hung off his
shoulders.

   He fumbled with the shirt until he finally tossed it on the floor and
put his arms around me and kissed me again.  It was funny because I wasn't
afraid of him any longer.

   I stood running my hands over his muscular chest and reached up and
pulled his head down to my face as I locked my fingers behind his neck.  We
continued to kiss until I heard a door open and I immediately pulled my
hands away and starred toward the doorway that lead to the bedrooms.

   Jackie came out and stopped for a split second as she starred at me and
Jerry just standing in the middle of the room.  He had his shirt off of
coarse.

   "Oh.  I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to interrupt anything."

   I quickly motioned to Jackie to stay.  "It's all right.  We were just
dancing.  Would you like to join us for a drink?"

   "No.  I just came out to get a glass of water.  I have to take my
medication before bed time."

   Jackie walked out into the kitchen and Jerry had a concerned expression
on his face.

   "It's all right.  Jackie takes a mild sedative before bed time every
night."

   I knew she was taking her hormone pills as she did every night before
bed but I couldn't tell Jerry the truth.  I really felt guilty having
Jackie catching us with Jerry's shirt off.  I had to make sure that she was
all right and her feelings weren't hurt.

   Jackie returned and smiled at us and said, good night.  I took Jerry's
hand for a second.  "Let me go and check on her.  I'll only be a minute."

   "Sure."

   When I got into the bedroom, Jackie was getting undressed and was
surprised to see me.  She quickly took me into her arms and said.  "Lacy.
You should be out there with your date.  I'm all right, just tell me what
happened in the morning."

   She gave me a little kiss on my cheek and smiled.  I felt so guilty. 
"Jackie.  We were just dancing when you walked into the room."

   "It's all right.  You better get out there before he wonders what's
going on."

   I waited until she got into bed and gave her another kiss before I
walked back out into the family room.  Jerry was changing the music on the
CD player.

   "Is everything all right with your sister?"

   "Yes.  She is fine."

   I felt disappointed because Jerry had put his shirt back on and it was
all buttoned and tucked back into his pants.

   "Jerry.  I'm really sorry for the interruption."

   "That's fine.  I understand.  I guess your sister isn't use to having a
man in the house."

   Boy!  Jerry sure got that one right.  At least a fine specimen of a man
as he was!  He turned and walked my way.  "Lacy.  I guess I should be
going. It's getting late and I have work to do at the garage tomorrow."

   I reluctantly walked him to the front door and said good night.  He gave
me a little peck on my lips and asked if he could see me again.

   "Why don't I give you a call tomorrow and we'll take it from there?"

   Jerry was gone within a matter of seconds.
