The two young boys who’d been chasing each other darted into the trees. “I never said I hadn’t had a normal sex life.”
“You implied it. Now, exactly what kind of abnormality are we talking about here?”
“Nothing! We’re not talking about anything.”
“You’re not a secret dominatrix, are you?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
“You already said you’re not a lesbian, and I’m prone to believe you. Foot fetish?”
“No!”
“A masochist?”
“Don’t be absurd.”
“Sadist?”
“This is rubbish.”
His eyes narrowed. “You tell me right this second you’re not a pedophile.”
“Oh, for God’s sake, I’m a virgin!”
Silence.
Her cheeks grew hot. “Go on, then! Laugh! I know you want to.”
“Let me get my breath back first.” His eyes drifted to her breasts. “How does anybody get to be your age and stay a virgin?”
“It just happened, that’s all. I didn’t intend for it to turn out this way.” She shot her chin a bit higher. “I was busy, and I’m not good with men.”
“That’s because you’re too damned bossy.”
“I didn’t ask for your opinion.” A shout from the larger of the two boys distracted her. She watched him wrestle the younger one to the ground, bringing the other child’s head perilously close to the sharp corner of the concrete slab that held one of the picnic tables. “Careful, boys! If you want to wrestle, do it over there.”
The brothers stopped what they were doing and stared at her. So did their parents. Kenny rolled his eyes. “Would you mind your own business?”
She turned her back on him. “I knew you’d be difficult about this. That’s why I didn’t want to tell you.”
He came around in front of her. “Of course I’m being difficult. You climbed into bed with me two nights ago without once mentioning that particular piece of information.”
“It wasn’t relevant.”
“It sure as hell was relevant to me.”
“Why? What possible difference could it make?”
“A big difference. You were using me!”
She stared at him, feeling both anger and the beginnings of a perverse sort of amusement. “As I remember, it was the other way around. Do you always try to turn the tables like this when you know you’re in the wrong?”
He scowled.
“Do you have any idea how pathetic you are?” she said.
“Me?” His eyebrows shot up. “You’re the one who’s never been laid.”
