“I don’t want it, now, but ... I’ve been wondering if ... I could ... join the family.”I looked into her dark eyes for some time, then, making... a conscious decision, I responded in a whisper, “When you’re ready, there’s already a place in the family for you. We’ve already voted and, as is necessary for any addition, the vote was unanimous. You’ve had a place longer, even, than Inez. We all love you, Meka.”She rounded her eyes widely and stared at me for a short while, then pulled me into her and. Just Charlie, for now.

Eventually she fell asleep outside the cave. Adam went to sleep too.God was watching overhead. He did not like the way things were going. He decided to fix things, so he sent to Adam a dream where Eve was over Adam’s lap. "They insisted that we all drive home together, but I told them that I felt like living dangerously." What do you mean? Do I look dangerous," I asked."I don't know," she said, "are you?"I didn't tell her at the time, but I had a hard-on that extended easily beyond my knees and toward my ankles! She exuded sex, but not in a silly, contrived way; she was demure, sophisticated and incredibly sweet. I asked her out for coffee and we went to my favorite 24-hour hangout and drank coffee and talked.
