When I met a truly beautiful girl, I would tell her that if she spent the night with me, I would write a novel or a story about her. This usually worked; and if her name was to be in the title of the story, it almost always worked. Then, later, when we'd passed a night of delicious love-making together, after sheâd gone and Iâd felt that feeling of happiness mixed with sorrow, I sometimes would write a book or story about her. Sometimes her character, her way about herself, her love-making, it sometimes marked me so heavily that I couldn't go on in life and be happy unless I wrote a book or a story about that woman, the happy and sad memory of that woman.

His other arm holds me firmly in place around my waist. âThis is mine,â he whispers aggressively. âAll mine. Do you understand?â He eases his finger in and out as he gazes down at me, gauging my reaction, his eyes burning. âYes, yoursâŠâ Abruptly, he moves, doing several things at once: Withdrawing his fingers, leaving me wanting, unzipping his fly, and pushing me down onto the couch so heâs lying on top of me. âHands on your head,â he commands through gritted teeth as he kneels up, forcing my legs wider⊠âWe donât have long. This will be quick, and itâs for me, not you. Do you understand? Donât come, or I will spank you,â he says through clenched teeth.
