Excerpts from the Story

They got into the car and David said, “I know a place in the hills where we can go.”

“Okay,” Sophia said and kissed him on the neck. David drove across town and Sophia leaned lightly against him, one hand resting on his thigh and the other on the velvet-like seat. After going through town David drove on for a while and then he turned down a dirt road which he followed for quite a ways. He stopped the car and turned off the lights, which left them in quiet darkness, and he put his arm around Sophia and drew her to him, straightening his legs and stretching out somewhat, while Sophia turned into him, lodging her small nose in his neck. Sophia turned her face up, her eyes half-closed, and they began kissing, more fervently than before, Sophia pressing her moist lips against his, David caressed her side, slowly approaching her breast. They continued kissing; Sophia’s ample dress was pushed up on her long legs; she still held David’s thigh, while David moved his hand up under her breast which he could feel through the silk. Strained, David stopped and said, “Let’s get in the back seat, okay.”
