We were lovers for a while. Three months, to be exact, the time I had left before I went back to Paris. We didn’t make love every night. We didn’t see each other every night. But we did it every way possible. He tied me up, hit me, sodomized me. He never left a mark, except a reddened ass, which says something about how gentle he was. A little bit longer and I would have ended up getting used to him. Needing him, in other words, and he would’ve ended up getting used to me. But we didn’t give ourselves time. We were just friends.
