"
This
time
he
simply
fell
asleep
.
He
used
her
.
Oh
,
hell
.
He
leaned
up
on
one
elbow
, peering
at
her
face
.
He
could
smell
smoke
and
sweat
in
the
bed
.
He
collapsed
back
on
the
pillow
,
his
arm
over
his
eyes
.
Oh
,
hell
.
I
did
the
boss
.
Now
what
?
Do
I
pretend
it
didn't
happen
?
He
shook
his
head
.
Nope
.
It
most
definitely
happened
.
It
happened
at
least
-
he
counted
-
four
times
?
Four
?!?
No
way
.
He
counted
again
.
Well
.
Huh
.
I
guess
there's
something
to
be
said
for
abstinence
.
Hope
she
doesn't
expect
that
performance
all
the
time
