I don't remember falling asleep. I woke to the sound of a phone ringing. Not Nickelback, but a normal ringtone.

Adam said, "Croe." Then he hissed in subdued tones, "You're kidding me, aren't you?"

I felt like an intruder.

He said, "Where's Kay?" Silence as he listened and answered, "All right, all right. I'll need an hour. Where are you?" His next response was, "Yeah. An hour." Again, he listened and then said, "You'll have to take it or fucking leave it. Your call." He tossed the phone on the floor, released an exasperated sigh, ran his hands through his hair, and stood.

Was he married, and that was his wife calling? Was Kay his wife or girlfriend? I felt hollow and confused.

Adam switched on the bathroom light. I waited for him, but he turned on the shower. I thought, if men can use women, then I'd use him. The sex had been great, and I'd never behaved like I had before, so why not? I decided we'd probably never see each other again, and I wouldn't have the same kind of excitement any time soon. Why not do it one more time? I grabbed a condom, undressed and went into the bathroom to find him shampooing his hair. I snuck in and ran my hand around him. 

He sucked in his stomach, laughed and said, "Sorry I woke you." As an afterthought, he added, "I'm not really." Adam grinned, cocked his head and said, "I hope you don't mind that I used your shampoo."

I shook my head, picked up the cake of soap and rubbed it over his body. He sighed and placed his hands on the tiles on either side of my head. I soaped his armpits and chest. He was aroused in a second.

Adam looked like someone in an ad or movie. Water streamed over his head and ran down his body. I stood on tiptoes, kissed his lips, dropped the soap and took hold of him with my hand. As soon as I touched him, he exhaled against my mouth and then lifted me and thrust between my thighs. I squeezed my legs to stop him, smiled and waved the condom in front of his face.

Adam laughed, shook his head and placed me on my feet.

I know I keep going on about condoms, but it's important to stay safe. Don't you agree?

I ripped the package opened with my teeth, bent and touched the head of his penis with my tongue. I wanted him to remember me. From the sound he made and the way his body shuddered, he would. I ran my mouth along his length. His penis grew larger under my touch. It quivered.

He gasped, "Stop..."

Adam drew me to my feet. He put the condom on himself, lifted me, wrapped my legs around him and leaned me against the tiles.

I realised this was going to be all about him. I kissed his neck and mouth and ran my fingers through his hair.

Adam thrust harder as he came. He held me close, sucked in some deep breaths, rested his chin on my head, then he tilted my chin, stroked my face and kissed me. He tore his lips from mine and stared into my eyes. "I don't know when I'll see you next," he said.

I guessed this meant I wouldn't see him again. I smiled and said, "Maybe on the train."

He twirled a strand of my hair and said, "I won't be on the train again. My car is back on the road."

Even though I'd guessed this was the end, I had to bite my lip to stop it from trembling. I said, "Okay." 

 Well... what else could I say? I wasn't going to beg.

He kissed me as he left my body, removed the condom and held it above the toilet.

"Put it in the bin," I urged. "I don't want it to choke some poor turtle."

He roared with laughter, dropped it into the bin, then placed his mouth on mine. "You're amazing," he said.

I had to make the best of it, so I grinned, kissed him and feigned seriousness. "You never know, it might."

He cocked his head, then put his hand between my thighs.

I squeezed them together and shook my head.

"I want to make you cum," he whispered.

"I'm okay." I smiled at him and touched his face. I wanted to remember him as he was. Content and handsome. The first man who'd ever made me orgasm. I said, "I know you have to go and I'm a bit sore anyway." To try and hide my sadness, I added, "I haven't had this much sex in one night before."

He gave me a puzzled expression.

I ducked under his arm, stepped out of the shower, wrapped myself in a towel, got a clean one from the vanity for him, then went and crawled under the covers and switched on the T.V.

Adam came into the room with the towel wrapped around his hips, carrying his jeans. "Can I turn on the light? I need to find my jocks."

I pointed to where the switch was and then lay on my side to watch him dress. I marvelled at how splendid his body was and absorbed every detail into my memory.

Once he was ready, he sat on the edge of the bed and ran his hand over my head. "What's the matter?"

I was surprised he asked me because I believed I had covered my true feelings.

"Nothing," I whispered. He tilted his head in disbelief, so I added, "Just tired."

Adam kissed my forehead. "I had a great time. I want to see you again."

"I had a great time too." I beamed and said, "The car park was a definite highlight, so if you need any references, send them my way."

He laughed but frowned. "I gotta go." He kissed me, swept his hand down my hair and whispered, "I'll see you soon."

All I could do was nod with a fixed smile on my face.

Adam stood and took my hand. "Come and put the chain across as I go."

I got out of bed and wrapped the towel around me.

"Do you always sleep naked?" Adam asked with a grin.

"Maybe." I twinkled my eyebrows. "I'll leave it to your imagination."

He shook his head at me, laughed, drew me to him and planted a kiss on my mouth. "You're beautiful," he said, then released me, stroked my chin and stepped through the door. "Put the chain on," he repeated.

I did as he asked, crawled into bed and gripped my pillow tight against my chest. I was in love, and the thought of not seeing him again crushed me. "For fuck's sake, Jasmine, you've just met him," I whispered to the dark. It scared me to know I'd fallen so fast, perhaps from that first moment on the train.

This was bad. Really, really bad.

Even for me.

Poor Jasmine has fallen fast.  Do you think she'll see Adam again?
