Fatima and I lay on the bed in a pleasant stupor. She lay on her back, my cock still inside her, one leg stretched out, the other bent with her foot flat on the bed. My body was turned at an angle so I could rest next to her on one elbow, my other hand on one of her breasts. She looked up at the oval ceiling mirror and put her hand over mine.
'We did it,' she said quietly. 'We really did it.'
'Yes, we did.'
I moved my hand so that our fingers could interlace. Fatima let out a deep sigh. She looked down towards our nether regions.
'My goodness, how long do you stay hard?' she said.
'That's just what I said,' said Denisha from the
Gladiator
chair.
Fatima and I jumped. We'd forgotten she was in the room. As if to say, 'How could you possibly forget
me?'
the woman herself appeared, walking to the side of bed in her silver bikini. Denisha had a truly splendid body and I watched fascinated as she climbed onto the bed to lie next to us. Fatima twisted her head to look at me.
'Hey! I can
feel
you looking at her!' she said.
'Really?' said Denisha, grinning. 'Perhaps he'd like to do me now?'
'No,' said Fatima. 'He's mine.'
That took me by surprise, but it also turned me on. Fatima looked round at me again, her eyes glittering.
'Wow,' she said. 'You
like
that...'
I couldn't deny it. We leant in and kissed, softly this time, our tongues tender and languorous. I slowly rolled on top of her and felt her fingertips scrape my head, while my hand found the smooth skin of her shoulder. My cock, which was softening, reversed course and began to stiffen again.
Denisha cleared her throat.
'Listen, guys,' she said. 'I don't want to be a party-pooper, but there is something which requires your attention.'
Fatima and I stopped and turned our heads to look at her. Denisha lay on her side, her hand supporting her head, looking at us as though talking to a man and woman in the middle of sex was something she did every day. Who knows, perhaps it was.
'We have just over twenty minutes left of the original hour,' she said. 'So my plan is this: I'll go downstairs and get the bank card thingy, and then you can pay for an extra hour alone with Fatima. What do you think?'
Fatima looked at me. I smiled down at her.
'I think that's a great idea,' I said.

After I'd paid and Fatima and I were alone, we talked about how much we both liked Denisha. Fatima was especially passionate on the subject.
'When Denisha's in a room, it's like a judgement-free zone,' she said. 'I mean, I try not to be judgemental and I think I do pretty well, but Denisha just sort of
radiates
it.'
'I know what you mean,' I said.
I told Fatima how, after telling me about Plan B, Denisha had casually squeezed a drop of pre-cum from my erection with the detachment of a mechanic checking the oil of a car. Fatima laughed at the description. We were sort of lounging on the bed facing each other, our legs stretched in opposite directions. I was stroking Fatima's ankles and feet, and she was massaging my calf muscles. It occurred to me that, in our past conversations, we had seldom looked at each other as we talked. I was usually on my front receiving a back massage, or Fatima would be lying in my arms. But as I watched Fatima press her hands into my leg and smile at me, I realised something had changed; some barrier had been removed. How strange, I thought, that you only notice an invisible barrier once it isn't there.
'I have a question for you,' I said.
'Okay.'
'What happens now?'
Fatima smiled and nodded. She ran her hand idly over my leg, as though trying to distract herself.
'What do you want to happen?' she said.
'Answering a question with a question? Nice try.'
'You don't think it's a fair question?'
'I think it's a perfectly fair question. But so was mine. And using your fair question to detract from my fair question could be argued as being less-than-fair. Or do you disagree?'
Fatima laughed. She gave my leg a few appreciative slaps.
'You really are a smart man,' she said.
'I need to be. So...'
I gave her a look. Fatima smiled and shifted her body to be closer to me, squeezing her foot between my ribcage and arm. She looked me boldly in the eye.
'I don't know what happens next,' she said. 'It depends on whether I'm pregnant.'
'Are you hoping you're pregnant?'
'I'm actually okay either way,' said Fatima. 'To me, what's important is that I dared to make a choice. That's very different from doing nothing and letting Life choose for you.'
'But...'
I stopped. I realised that, although I didn't buy her reasoning, I didn't know why. Fatima's eyes narrowed. She lifted her foot and gave me a gentle prod on the shoulder.
'Come on, out with it,' she said.
I took her foot and kissed it, then laid it on the bed, keeping a firm hold around her ankle. I knew she was waiting for me to tell her what I thought. I also knew that once you say something, you can't unsay it. And I thought this situation was too delicate to blurt out the first thing that came into my head. I looked over at the Aphrodite statue. The goddess looked amused at my predicament, although she did remind me of something.
I felt Fatima's ankle pulled from my grasp. Fatima herself came scrambling over the bed towards me. I sat up, she knelt across me, and I suddenly found myself staring at her lovely brown tits. I knew she wanted to say something, so with great difficulty I turned my gaze upwards to her earnest dark eyes. She held my gaze, probably to make sure I was paying proper attention. She looked annoyed.
'I know what you're doing!' she said. 'You're editing your thoughts. And you don't have to do that with me!'
'Yes, I do. Of course, I do.'
'Don't you trust me?'
'It's not a question of trust. I need to figure out what I think.'
'But you don't have to "figure it out" with me! Just tell me!'
'I'm working on it!'
'For God's sake, don't be such a pussy!'
Fatima looked down at me, like I was one of her teenage boyfriends. I was annoyed. There's no way you're talking to me like that, I thought. I grabbed her and flipped her bodily onto her back. She cried out in protest, but I put a knee in the space below her crotch and pinned her wrists to the mattress. My bigger, stronger body covered hers on the bed, although I took care to bear my own weight. The purpose was to immobilise, not crush her.
Fatima glared up at me, unable to move. I looked down at her.
'I could force myself onto you,' I said. 'Make you afraid of me. But what I cannot do is force you to respect me. The only way for me to do that is to act in a way which
inspires
your respect. And one of the ways I've achieved that is by
not shooting my mouth off.
By thinking before I speak. By choosing my words with care.'
I paused and continued to look down at her, daring her to use the pause to contradict me. She didn't. Instead, her expression changed from indignant anger to a mixture of wonder and gratitude. I have never seen a woman look so happy to have her argument shot down.
Satisfied that I had made my point, I loosened my grip on her wrists and moved to get off her. Fatima made a small noise in her throat and looked at me with pleading eyes. Perhaps because of all the feminist conditioning in my head, it took me a moment to realise what she wanted. Then I resumed my dominant position and retightened my hands around her wrists. Fatima's tongue flicked across her top lip and her breathing got quicker. Looking into her eager brown eyes, I could feel my cock hardening. I leaned closer and spoke in a soft voice.
'I was looking at Aphrodite over there,' I said, 'and she reminded me of a story. In Greek mythology, there was a city of warrior women called the Amazons. And, according to legend, when an Amazon woman overpowered a man in combat, she would fuck him, get pregnant by him ... and then get rid of him.'
I leaned in close so that my face was right above hers, and whispered:
'Is that what you're going to do with me?'
Fatima swallowed, licked her lips, and said:
