Toby closed her eyes in frustration. How long was it going to take to get home? Another red light. "Shit."
Who knew when she spent 4 years in med school she was going to be wasting her life away for corpses. She liked the dead far more than the living, but she was starting to doubt her own mortality more and more everyday.
I'll just call Dan, she thought. Dan was Toby's best friend. They'd been close since med school. After his marriage failed, they'd become closer, and the attraction had become harder and harder to resist.
Finally, she thought when she pulled into her driveway. As soon as she walked in the door, Ellen, her Great Pyrraniese, jumped on top of her, begging for attention. "hey girl," she said, regaining her footing to check her voicemail. A call from her sister, Vicki, and a call from Dan. I'll call him as soon as I get out of the shower.
Taking off her clothes on the way to the bathroom, she imagined herself in bed with him. She shut the dor, and stripped off her remaining garments. Looking at herself in the mirror, she said aloud "I look far better than I'm feeling, these days." With her short blonde hair, pixie face, sparkling green eyes, striking cheekbones, and stubborn chin, she looked great, far younger than she was. Her body, slim as a magicians wand, looked just that. Like magic. Her breasts, an average size, were perky, and he hips were slim, set off by long slim legs.
She turned the hot water on full blast and let it scald her ivory skin. Ten minutes later, she was jerked out of her hypnosis by the sound of the doorbell.
She turned off the water, and grabbed her black silk robe. Reaching the door, she wondered who it was. As she opened the door, she sighed to herself.
Dan was standing there, his black hair ruggedly wind blown. She longed to run her hands through it. She jerked back to reality and realized his beautiful green eyes were focused on her body. She gazed down to see what he was staring at and realized her robe was slightly open, revealing nearly her whole upper body. She pulled it together and his eyes went to hers.
"Would you like to come in and share a drink?" she asked huskily, embarrassed by her lack of manners.
