Merrill and Jacob Ch. 02

"I spent a few months with her. She became very adventurous. I was her first, with everything. I got her drunk to buttfuck her. She was only average looking, so I started looking around. She wanted to get married, so we drifted away, gradually. Great fun, though."

"You said there were multiple probables."

"Yes, there was one more that I think was a virgin. I only had her for a short while, though, and I never found out for sure. She was also when I was at Quantico. She worked in the PX. Nice looking. Kind of flaky. Shortly after I first had her, she moved away."

"Seven is a pretty solid record of achievement, Jacob! That makes you an ace. Not to mention the probables. Back to the marriageable blonde in San Diego. What ever happened to her?"

"I heard she married an officer."

"Oh, I see. So, there's one that upgraded from you! Turnabout is fair play, Jacob."

"I thought we weren't going to go into our histories."

"I said, just now, that you didn't have to answer. This was your choice, dear. It was bonus information, free to me."

"Can I also ask a question, that you are free to decline to answer?"

"Fine."

"I sometimes burn with curiosity about your history. I mean, I know about Sam being your first, and all. When I experience what I just did, Merrill, oh, my God! Where did you learn such things?"

"Okay. Sam died more than two years ago. I have been very discrete, and selective, about relationships since then, as you well know, because of Ashley. The first guy I was with, after Sam died, was a guy I was very strongly attracted to. I mean physically. He was gorgeous. He wanted me well enough, so I took the plunge. I really grew, sexually, under his tutelage. He taught me things, but mostly I wanted him enough that he inspired me to new heights of sexual achievement. We ran around together for a short while. He's local. We're still in touch. He was my number two."

"I hesitate to ask this. Please don't be offended. What number am I?"

"You're number two."
