The hike was beautiful. Xavier took me to this perfect little meadow about two hours away from my house. We spread out a blanket and sat, enjoying the day. Though my mind kept wandering to last night. I had always enjoyed s*x, but Xavier was bringing out a whole new side of me, and I liked it. I was feeling more centered and interestingly, powerful. Abruptly, Xavier stood up. “Aria, I need to tell you something serious. But I don’t want you to be afraid.” This was it, the other shoe was dropping. He was probably married or into some freaky s*x cult or something. Of course, he was too good to be true. I was already beating myself up for getting caught up with this remarkable man who I knew so little about. He started to undress in front of me. Oh great, it was some weird s*x cult thing!
