The more I had looked into government conspiracies, the more fascinated I had become. I’d had no idea that government cover-ups ran so deep. Yet, as interesting as it had been to research, I was ready to kick myself for picking the topic. At the time it had seemed like a good idea, but now it was like marking my forehead with a big scarlet letter ‘G’ for ‘Guilty’. Nervously, I walked over to the podium. I cleared my throat and began talking, deliberately avoiding the gaze of the two giggling girls near the front.
I started talking quickly, anxious to get it over with. I forced myself to take a deep breath and slow down as I continued. “…so, it is thought that the government is covering up a multitude of issues. These conspiracies range from ones that many people have heard of, such as alien abductions, to lesser-known conspiracies. Some have been proven to be true. Yes, the government did test LSD on US citizens without their knowledge or approval. Yes, heart attack guns developed with tax payer’s money by the CIA do exist. There are plenty of cases where the government has tried to cover up the reality of the situation. But, many conspiracy theories have not been proven. People will always be searching for evidence to prove what they think really happened—even if it never did …” My voice was echoing in my ears as I finished, and I could see the two girls practically on the edge of their seats.
Thankfully, the class ended and I scurried out the door. As I did I passed the two girls and overheard one say, “She wrote her paper on government conspiracies. That’s got to be her!” I glanced over my shoulder and saw they were following me. Despite walking quickly they were on my heels, and I increased my pace, rushing up the street.
A short distance away, I could hear the sound of an engine gunning. Oh my God! Did they have a friend there, waiting to grab me? I didn’t dare look behind me, but I was freaking out inside. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice, and a huge sense of relief swept over me. “Todd!” My delicious, blue-eyed wereman was leaning out of his car window.
“Hey, baby doll. Climb in.”
I quickly joined him in the car. Slamming the door, I looked back to see the two girls, disappointment etched on their faces as Todd began driving away.
“I was just going to drive over to your apartment to meet you and Dave when I remembered you had your writing class. I thought I would drive by and see if you were walking home and give you a ride.”
“Thanks, Todd,” I exhaled gratefully.
“You look a little pale. What’s up?”
“Those girls back there … they are in my class, and they are making me nervous. I think they are with the WHO group.”
“Hmm, we will have to report that to Mr. Dawes.”
“A lot of good that will do!”
“Honestly, I think the group is a lot of talk and no action. I mean, they make a lot of noise with the protests, but so far that’s all they have done. I really don’t think we have anything to worry about.”
I shook my head. “I hope not.”
“Anyway baby girl, I am looking forward to chatting with you and Dave today,” he smiled, giving me a sassy grin.
The way he put the emphasis on ‘chatting,’ I knew he didn’t really want to talk, but had something sexier in mind.
“I hate to tell you Todd, but Dave is not going to be there. Good news though, he got a job interview!”
“That sucks,” Todd bemoaned, frustration etched on his face. “I mean, not that he got a job interview—that’s great, but that he is not going to be around today. I was really looking forward to the three of us getting together…
Todd gazed over at me, a hungry look in his eyes, his need and desire palpable. I knew he assumed that without Dave, there couldn’t be any sexual relations between us. I couldn’t help but tease him a little.
“Yeah, I was so disappointed. Oh well,” I sighed, as Todd’s shoulders slumped. “But, Dave did say one thing before he left that may interest you.”
“What’s that?” Todd asked his voice rich with disappointment.
“He said we should feel free to umm…” I gulped, realizing that I was a little embarrassed to say what I then blurted out—“He said we should just feel free to fuck!”

A delighted gasp escaped Todd’s succulent lips.
“Really?”
“Yeah, that is what he said. He wants us to enjoy the freedom of one another emotionally and physically—whether it’s two or three of us.
“Wow,” Todd said. “How do you feel about this?” He turned his gaze from the road for a minute and looked at me, hope lighting up his face.
I felt like melting into his baby blues. He was so gorgeous. And the thing with Todd was, he just didn’t seem to realize how smoking hot he was. He wasn’t obnoxious or conceited at all.
I puckered my lips and smiled softly. “Let’s get back to my place and I will show you exactly how I feel,” I whispered.
