I covered my face with my hands, and muttered, “You are lucky that I care sooo deeply for you, Harley. Because no one else could get have gotten away with keeping me at bay like this the way you somehow have been able to do!”

“You had a role in that, too, at some point earlier in the evening last night, you know,” she cooed as she tugged gently on my forearms. “But I know what you mean, honey.”

“Less than twenty minutes left,” she reminded me with a saucy bounce to her hips as she turned around to lead us out of the sun-drenched roof-top deck.

I wasn’t sure which goddess I had angered in the court of Olympus for me to be suffering like this, I muttered under my breath as I followed her sexy form lead me out of the rooftop deck, descend a level down to the master suite, and walk ahead of me into the large bathroom of the master suite. “Or maybe you just don’t want me to touch one of your fellow goddesses?” I asked the imagined court of greco-roman goddesses that had apparently conspired to keep Harley away from me. It didn’t matter that they may have acted through me at certain points the past couple of days to keep us from prematurely consummating this attraction. The point is …

“What are you muttering about under your breath?” she asked as she led me into the shower, and pulled down on the lever to let water out after adjusting the hotness and coldness settings.   Got it just right to wake me up, but not roughly.

“I was just reminding myself that you most likely have friends in the highest of places,” I said as I stepped under the cascading water. “Powerful enough to repeatedly keep me from making mad, passionate love to you, the way I’ve been aching to!”

She laughed as she shut the shower door shut. “They’ll let us know when it’s the right time, honey.”

“And like we talked last night, the stars say we have all the time in the world.”

I heard her musical voice greet her friends, “Hola chicas! So you got everything you needed to in that store you stopped in?”
