“Good Lord, Bitty,” I said, and stood up. “Kit, I don’t know about you, but I’m going up to the kitchen to check my glucose levels. Care to join me?”

“Well, I am feeling a little lightheaded.” Grinning, Kit followed me into the kitchen. Then he got really close, trapping me against the counter with an arm on each side of me. “But not just because of all that sweet talk.”

“Hm,” I said, looking at him, “this might be serious enough to require a doctor.”

He put his arms around me and whispered in my ear, “I love to play doctor.”

In response, I unclasped the hair at the back of my neck and shook it free. It just seemed like the thing to do. You know, I think my parents have the right idea after all. A healthy libido just makes life so much more fun.

Sometimes Bitty isn’t the only one who has things turn out all right.
