Her eyes were still closed. She reached the bottom of her sweater and lifted it up over her head. Then Litta stood up and unzipped her skirt, allowing it to fall to the floor.

            Frank watched her do these things and was amazed. She was not his first, but she was the most beautiful woman he had been with.  She stood there in her camisole, panties, stockings and garters. Her beautiful eyes were still closed. He stepped near her and touched her shoulder. The woman shivered a little. “I promise that I will not hurt you.” She nodded a little. He took off his shirt and kicked off his shoes. Then he unzipped his pants and let them fall to the ground. He stepped out of them. “Open your eyes. I want to see your gorgeous eyes, Carmalitta.”

            She did what he asked. There was a look of longing and questioning. She did not know what she wanted to do. A big part of her wanted to let this happen and the other wanted to flee back to the safety of Molly.

            He knelt down and began to unhook her garters. Then he unrolled her stockings. “You have beautiful legs.” Then he leaned over and kissed them.

            She giggled. “That tickles.”

            “Good.” He rose and helped her out of her camisole. “Your breasts are beautiful.”

            With that she crossed her arms across her chest. “I am cold.”

            Frank pulled back the covers on his bed. Then he picked her up and laid her in the bed. Then he slipped her panties off of her. Before he joined her in the bed, he slipped off his underclothes and grabbed the condom. He put on the condom and then slipped into the bed with her.

            Frank kissed her mouth and then moved to her neck.  “I love you, Litta.”

            “I love you too.”

            His touch made her perk up a bit and another slight moan escaped her lips. Frank was between her legs. But before he entered her, he made sure she was wet by touching her between her legs. It was amazing how turned on she was at this very moment. He entered softly and before to move slowly. With each thrust he went a little deeper and she arched her back, allowing him access.

            She didn’t know what she was expecting from him at this point. Litta cared about him, but he was a man and men destroy things. Just like the war had destroyed her father and Henry had destroyed her trust in men. She kept breathing, waiting for what came next. But it wasn’t what she expected. The brunette started to feel the wave of emotion come over her. It built slowly and then it came crashing down on her. She screamed as she climaxed. She looked at Franklin and the two of their eyes met. He smiled at her and felt his own climax start and finished as hers was stopping.

           

            They were laying there on his bed; both of them were totally spent. She had finally caught her breath and closed her eyes trying to process what she had just done.

“Why?”
            “Why what, Frank?” She didn’t open her eyes when she asked.

            “Why her?”

            “I love her.”

            “Why a woman?” He reached over and touched the side of her fair skinned body.

            “Um,” She rolled over and lay there for a moment. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
            He laughed and she rolled over giving him a dirty look. That just made him laugh even harder at her. “You’ve admitted that you are a lesbian, we just had sex and you don’t want to talk about why you prefer women to men.”

            She sat up and started reaching for her clothes. “I need to go.”

            He grabbed her arm softly and pulled her back. “Litta, don’t go angry.”

            “Can we have lunch after the midterm tomorrow?”

            “Sure.”

            “I’ll talk with you after lunch.”

            “Alright.” Frank released her arm and she got dressed. The he got up and put on his pants. “Can I kiss you before you leave?”

            “No. I don’t think that would be right.”

            “Alright.” He took her delicate hand and kissed it. “I will see you at the midterm.”

            “Please sit somewhere else. I need to concentrate on the test.” He nodded and she gathered up her things. Litta walked out of the room and went to the hallway mirror. She straightened her dark hair and went on down to the front door. When Litta got outside, it was rather cool. She was pleased by it. The breeze that blew was pleasant and she hoped it would calm her down before she got back to the apartment.

            The apartment. Molly would be waiting on her. She sat down on a bus bench and started crying into her hands. Of all the things she had ever done, she felt most horrible about this.

            “Carmalitta?”

            She looked up and Franklin was standing there by the bench. His face was one of worry. “Go away.”

            “I’m not leaving you.”

            “I betrayed her, Frank. I betrayed the woman that I love.” She whispered in the twilight. “I…”

            He wrapped his arms around her, “Did I hurt you?”

            “No.”

            “Then forget it.”

            “I don’t want to. I enjoyed it. But I still love her.”

            “You enjoyed it?”

            “Yes.” She kissed his lips quickly. “I feel things for you.”

            “We don’t have to let her know. I do love you, but I am not asking for anymore than you can give me.” He kissed her back. “We can just call this a little experiment.”
