I felt myself stiffen. After a moment’s hesitation, I asked, “Do I have to?”
He nodded. But I still hesitated. He had his arm around me, but he didn’t move.
I realized that he was completely naked, while I had on my blouse, bra, panties, and a sweater. I still didn’t want to. I was afraid.
“Do I have to?” I asked again.
“Do it for me,” he whispered. “Please.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Do it for me!”
After a long hesitation, I finally sat up, and my hands moved to the bottom of my sweater. But I just couldn’t do it.
“Please help me,” I begged.
He sat up beside me and gently lifted my sweater up over my head, and up my arms, then the sweater joined his pants on the floor.
I dropped my head, and crossed my arms across my chest, utterly dejected.
He came from behind me and kissed my neck, as his hands cupped my breasts.
“Why?” I asked.
“Why what?”
“Why won’t you let me take off your blouse?”
“I don’t want to!”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t!”
“Why?”
“I don’t want you to see me.”
“Why?”
“What difference does it make?” She pressed my hands to her breasts, then she turned around me and threw her arms around my neck. “We can make love as much as we like, I’ll do anything you want. Is it such a big thing for you to take off my top?”
“Why?”
She lay down on her back, pulling me over her, and whispered, “Just love me. Please, make love to me!”
I responded, “We can make love. But first, please tell me why.” My hands passed over her mounds, seeking her nipples. She looked away and wouldn’t answer. My hands went up to her neck, then down her breastbone and found the top button of her blouse. Her hand came up and covered mine, not resisting, but begging me to stop. I saw tears in her eyes.
“Please don’t make me,” she begged.
