CHAPTERTHIRTEEN

Ben excused himself to go to the bathroom. It took ten minutes for the photographer to find the right light and angle for every stupid picture. Surely they wouldn’t begrudge him a bathroom break. He nearly ran for it, wanting some privacy to read Beatriz’s review. Since the review was going to be all about them having sex, reading it in a bathroom stall seemed the safest way to go. He locked the stall door, leaned back against it, opened the note and started reading.

Five big buzzing bees toTHE MANUAL. Friends, Miss Bea loved this wonderfully witty and insightful sex position manual with the SHOUTY CAPS title. While other sex position manuals focus on the intimate details of the sexing and confuse readers with fancy terminology and complex position names,THE MANUALsimplifies things, throws in a sense of humor, and gives you enough information and encouragement to just do it.

And boy, did we do it. A lot.

My partner and I started with the modified missionary positions. Does your partner have an amazing body? Mine definitely does. This position allowed me to get a great look at it during sex. The Figure Eight brought us face-to-face. Does your partner kiss so well he makes your thighs melt? Mine does. Figure Eight was a win for that reason alone.

The tips on oral sex worked as well, although there isn’t room for much improvisation in the art of the blow job. I appreciated the paragraph on how to modify your technique if your partner is well-endowed (like mine is).

The chapter on anal sex was especially helpful as it suggested trying double penetration using a toy. The position gave me the best orgasm of my life. And yes, Miss Bea keeps track of these things. I even have an orgasm spreadsheet.

The review continued. Beatriz had something nice and sexy to say about every chapter in the book. But it was the last paragraph that really got his attention.

As much as I enjoyedTHE MANUAL, I do have to add one caveat. No sex position, no matter how well-written, can make up for the lack of a good partner. A good partner can make even awkward sex enjoyable. If the sex doesn’t work, at least you can laugh about it together. A good partner makes sure you are enjoying yourself as much as he is enjoying himself. A good partner is adventurous, open-minded, willing to try anything his partner wants to try. I had such a partner this week and the only thing I can say is, Back off, ladies. He’s mine. The only thing I loved more than the sex I had while trying outTHE MANUALis the man I had it with.

Sex, Love and Bees,

Miss Bea Haven

Ben stared at the last sentence and read it over and over and over again.

The only thing I loved more than the sex is the man I had it with.

Beatriz loved him?

“I have to love her back for the rest of my life,” he said to himself. “It’s the only gentlemanly thing to do.”

Ben raced from the bathroom and ran to the restaurant. He glanced around for Beatriz, but didn’t see her anywhere.

“Claudia, where’s Bea?” he asked, interrupting her conversation without remorse.

“She said she had to run up to her hotel room for a second. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. It’s just that I love her, and she loves me. It’s an emergency.”

“Loveisan emergency. Go get her. Just hurry back. We’ve got cake.”

Cake would have to wait. Ben headed to the elevators. If the elevator had broken the sound barrier getting to Beatriz’s floor it wouldn’t have been fast enough. At last he made it to her room. Before he could knock on the door, it flew open.

“Ben.”

“Bea.”

“I was just coming back down. To you. To see you, I mean.” Beatriz held up his note. “You love me?”

“Yes. Like crazy. You love me.”

“That wasn’t a question, was it?”

“No. I just like saying it.” Ben took her in his arms and held her close. He’d walked away from her five years ago. Never again. “You love me.”

“I do,” Beatriz said. “I thought I was over you. But then I was under you. And now I’m in love with you. And it sucks because we both leave tomorrow.”

Ben shook his head. “This isn’t the 1800’s. There are airplanes and trains and cars. Do you have to go back to work Monday?”

“I work from home most of the time.”
