Until this year, I'd never thought about making love to another man.Until this year, I'd never thought about making love to another man. I talked to Dick about it, but you know how he is; a little screwloose, but otherwise so reliable I had nothing to worry about. He said I should go and do what my heart wants. He knows that I'll always come home to him. And I will! I know I will." She looked away. "Just like you're always sure Ken will come home to you. It's like he's a part of you. Or you two are part of a greater whole. There's no jealousy between you, and I like that. There's no jealousy between Dick and me either." Susan hesitated. "I know this is going to sound silly to you, because you were born here. But I'm scared. Scared by something I feel inside, something that I don't understand." I started to get an inkling of what she was going to say. She continued. "But since Ken, it's been on my mind. Nyss, for someone who's never slept with another man I think it's crazy for me to want a non-human fem, but Nyss, I've got a crush on you. And when you kissed me a second ago, my heart started pounding so hard. I don't understand it." I was right. And somehow, I understood her problem. Before Ken, I had never slept with a man. Not because I didn't want to. |
