“Your virginity shredded the condom.” She lifts her head and stares at the busted rubber on my cock. “Please tell me you’re taking birth control.”
“We probably should’ve discussed this before you came inside me through a broken rubber.” That’s a no.
She was a virgin until five minutes ago, so that means she has no reason to be on any kind of birth control. “When is your next period due?”
“My body doesn’t work like that.”
“What does that mean?”
“I don’t have periods like normal women. There’s no need to go into details about something you care nothing about. Just know that you’ll never have to worry about a baby with me.”
She can’t get pregnant. Bleu’s pro list is growing. I wonder what’s going on with that. She’s made it clear she doesn’t want to talk about it, so I’ll respect that boundary for now.
“A pregnancy isn’t a possibility, but I still have to worry about infected penises giving me diseases. When’s the last time you were tested and how many women have you been with since?”
I just had a quarterly check. “I was tested last week. Everything came back clean. I haven’t been with anyone since. Except you.”
“Good. Make sure you keep it that way.”

I was fifteen years old when my father told me to never fall asleep next to a woman, especially one I’d just fucked. He said I couldn’t trust her to not kill me in my sleep. I figured Dad knew what he was talking about, so I’ve never taken the chance. Although I once brought women into my bed, I never allowed any of them to spend the night—until now.
Bleu promised it would be a night of firsts, and it certainly has been.
I watched her sleep for a while before I turned off the lamp. It had nothing to do with worry or fear she’d kill me while I was sleeping. I simply wanted to enjoy seeing her in my bed.
I think she had nightmares. She was restless and often mumbled incoherently. Her sleep became so fitful at one point, she screamed. She looked like a frightened animal ready to sprint when I woke her. I encouraged her to tell me what it was about, but she wouldn’t. Instead of talking, we made love again.
I’m lying on my side with my elbow pressed into the bed and my head propped in my hand when Bleu wakes and looks at me. She smiles and rolls onto her side to face me. “Good mornin’.”
I grab the bed sheet and give it a yank so I get a peep show of her tits. “Good morning to ye, girls.”
She playfully slaps my shoulder and pulls the linen up to cover herself. “You live up to your name very well.”
“Aye, as I should. My sins are very well practiced.”
“They were very well practiced last night.” She’s grinning, her cheeks blushing.
I move to get on top of her so I can practice some more, but she puts her hand to my chest, stopping me. “Are you sore?”
“Not terribly.”
“Then I didn’t do my job well enough.”
“You did a fine job.” She crinkles her nose. “But I think my virginity has ruined your linens.”
I kiss the top of her hand. “I genuinely enjoyed ruining them.”
“I’ll put them in the wash when we get up. Maybe they’re salvageable.”
“You don’t have to do that. Agnes will take care of them.”
“Who’s Agnes?”
“My neighbor. She comes in a couple times a week to straighten up and do laundry. She’s disabled—has a bad knee from a fall. She’s unable to work so it helps her out with a little extra cash.”
She’s making that face, the one generally followed by an “aww.” “That’s really generous.”
“Not really. She gets the funds she needs for her bills and I get a clean place to live. It’s a good partnership.” As this one will be as well.
She sits up and crisscrosses her legs. She still has the sheet tucked under her arms and I’d like to give it another yank. “Will you be taking me home on your way to the firm?”
I forgot to tell her. “I worked late the past two nights so I could have today off. I was hoping you’d want to spend it with me.”
She’s all smiles. “I’d like that very much, but I need a change of clothes.” She crinkles her nose again. “And a toothbrush.”
The toothbrush is an easy fix but everything else could be a problem. “We’ll go by your place and pick up an overnight bag.”
“An overnight bag as in the one I should have had for last night, or one for tonight?”
“Both.”
* * *
I wait on the sofa while Bleu gathers her things. “Do I need an outfit for going out tonight?” she calls from the bedroom.
It’s the third time she’s yelled to ask me a question so I get up and go to her bedroom. “Do you want me to take you out?”
She jerks around and yelps. “Shit! I thought you were still in the living room.”
I laugh. “Do you want to go out?”
“Maybe.” She shrugs. “Dinner and dancing?”
“Sure, if it’s what you want.”
She takes out a black dress and holds the hanger at her shoulders to display how it might look on her. “Do you like this one?”
