"Come on Sam! Don't you trust me?"

"Yes. Of course I trust you. You just sort of put me on edge when you asked how flexible I am…" She bit her lip.

Howie laughed softly. He reached his hand up and trailed the back of his fingers down her cheek. For the hundredth time that night, he felt himself blush at the thought of what he was about to say. Samantha smiled at him, still biting her top lip. He took a deep breath. "How do I explain this?" He asked.

"OK…now you are really beginning to scare me!" She giggled as she leaned down and kissed him softly. She looked into his eyes. "Just spill your guts. You know unless you say something totally outrageous that I will go along with you."

Howie kissed her back. "The deal is." He hesitated. "Well, you see…" He took another deep breath. "A.J. told me about this position that he says is really intense and I want to try it."

"You talked to A.J. about what…what we do?" Samantha demanded her eyes growing wide.

"NO SWEETIE!" Howie answered sliding her hips down his body as he sat up. "Well, not exactly."

"What do you mean 'not exactly' Howard?"

"Sam! Calm down!" Howie hugged her close to his body, positioning her so she straddled his hips. "I would NEVER reveal to anyone what goes on between the two of us sweetie. What we do is private and personal and I am not one to kiss and tell." He kissed her neck. "Look at me Samantha." Howie commanded. Samantha looked up. Howie cringed when he saw the fear in her eyes. 'Please don't hate me Sam.' he thought silently. "You do realize the fellas put 2 and 2 together and without my saying anything, figured out we sleep together based on the weekend we all spent at your house don't you?" Samantha closed her eyes and nodded. "OK then. I told A.J. I was coming to visit you and your family this weekend. He asked if you were adventurous." Samantha looked at Howie. Her jaw dropped open and her eyes grew even more round. Howie put his finger to her lips before she could say anything. "I told him that was none of his business." Samantha closed her mouth and relaxed a little. "He said he didn't want to tread on 'uncharted territory' but, that he knew of this position we might enjoy. I asked him to describe it and well, if you are willing, I would like to give it a go."

Samantha gazed into Howie's deep brown eyes. 'He would never hurt me intentionally.' She reasoned. She licked her lips. "Dare I ask what flexibility has to do with this?" She asked quietly, her eyes downcast to their laps.

Howie put his lips next to her ear and whispered. "You have nothing to be frightened of Samantha. I love you and I promise you won't get hurt." He kissed her eyelids. "Please trust me. If you don't feel comfortable with what we are doing then just say so and we'll stop."

"So you are not going to tell me ahead of time what you want to do?" She asked biting her lip and wrinkling her brow.

"I would rather guide you into it." He replied bringing her lips even with his own. He kissed her softly, his lips lingering near hers as he spoke. "Trust me Sam. I have a feeling you won't regret it." His lips engulfed hers, taking her breath away momentarily.

Samantha swallowed hard. 'The fact this idea came from A.J. both scares me as well as excites me. Howie wouldn't mention it if he didn't want to try it. He must think the position will be a good one.' She took a deep breath and nodded her head. "OK." She whispered. "I trust you Howard."
