in the restaurant also followed her progress. Reacting quickly, Walter threw some bank notes onto the table, and stumbled quickly after Jade, trying to catch her before she reached the elevators.

      Jade smiled at Walter as he caught up to her. She handed him the room key, just as the elevator doors opened. Once inside, Walter consulted the key, and pressed the button for the correct floor. As the door opened again, Jade preceded Walter out of the elevator, turned to the left, and walked up the hallway, coming to a stop outside the correct room.

      ‘You’ve had this planned, all along,’ he said, as the key was inserted.

      Jade said nothing, just flashing him another of her enigmatic smiles, as he opened the door.

      Inside, Walter found the champagne and glasses on the low coffee table, along with a basket of complimentary fruit. Nodding approvingly at the vintage, he began to open the bottle as Jade moved to the window and studied the lights of the city outside.

      Hearing the cork pop, Jade turned, and watched as Walter poured the drinks.

      He walked to her, and handed over one of the glasses.

      Jade regarded the bubbles ascending through the golden liquid. Lifting the glass to Walter, she clinked his glass, and made a toast. ‘To virginity, and its loss.’ She sipped.

      Walter took a mouthful of the liquor, savouring its taste as it slowly made its way down his throat. He looked at Jade. ‘Are you positive about this?’

      Jade moved close to him, and kissed him lightly on his cheek. ‘Of course I am.’

      ‘You knew I was going to ask you to marry me.’

      ‘Of course I did,’ she said, taking his free hand. ‘Now stop worrying about silly little things, and take me to bed.’

      Jade had selected well. Walter was a surprisingly competent and gentle lover. He undressed her slowly, touching her in all those wonderfully sensitive places that Jade barely knew existed. Slipping the gown off her shoulders, he kissed her breasts, causing Jade to yelp with delight.

      Once naked, he lay her upon the bed, and commenced to remove his own clothes.

      Jade propped herself up on one elbow, as she watched him, marvelling at the sight of the naked man before her.

      He joined her on the bed, and placed his hand between her legs, massaging her womanhood.

      Jade squirmed with delight, as the sensations cascaded through her.

      Finally, he rose above her, opening her legs, forcing himself into her depths.

      Jade’s fingers dug into Walter’s shoulders as the pain took her, but it soon passed, to be replaced by a wet, thrusting of delight.

      Walter’s body moved inside her, slowly at first, but, as she was stretched to accommodate him, his movements became faster, and more urgent.

      Jade could feel the muscles beneath Walter’s skin, as they bunched tightly, and his breath came in gasps. His body arched suddenly, as a new feeling of warm wetness filled her, and his thrusting ceased.

      For her own part, Jade felt as though she were on the verge of some delight, that had just failed to materialise.

      She rose from the bed, and went to the bathroom. After cleaning herself, she regarded her reflection in the mirror. A virgin no longer, she couldn’t see any difference in the face that looked back at her, however, she did feel different, on the inside. She smiled, and decided that she had made the right decision.

      Returning to the bedroom, she found Walter sipping champagne in bed. He looked up at her, and smiled, lifting the glass to her.

      She climbed in beside him, took the glass, and sipped, before returning it to him.

      ‘Wonderful.’

      ‘And you were good too,’ replied Walter with a grin.

      ‘I meant the champagne, ninny,’ laughed Jade. ‘You really are an egomaniac.’

      ‘And you still won’t marry an egomaniac. Even after what we’ve done together?’

      Jade laughed again. ‘Are you now offering to ‘make an honest woman out of me’?’

      ‘If you like.’

      Jade leant up, and kissed his cheek. ‘You really don’t know how to accept ‘no’ for an answer do you?’

      ‘I still can’t see why you won’t marry me.’

      ‘Because we don’t love one another. In fact there’s probably only one thing that you truly love about me, and that’s my money, and, if we did marry, then I would make you truly miserable, because I have absolutely no intention of letting the man I marry anywhere near my money.’

      ‘You can’t be serious.’

      ‘Why do you think I’ve taken a degree in accountancy? Doesn’t that indicate just how serious I am about this?’

      ‘And you won’t let your husband help you look after your money?’

      ‘Why should I? What could he do that I wouldn’t be able to do just as well?’

      Walter had to concede that she may have a point, but it was just not how things were done.

      ‘But don’t worry too much, Walter dear,’ she said as she snuggled up to him. ‘I’m not removing my money from the control of your firm just yet. Your father can continue to invest it for me until I get on my feet, and I’m in a position to start my own company.’

      Her hand strayed over his stomach, and down to his groin, cupping his manhood in her hand, marvelling at the feel of him.

      Walter groaned with delight, and took another sip of champagne.

      Jade continued to stroke him, remembering the feel of him inside her. If that was how it felt, having sex with a man that she did not love, then what would it be like with someone to whom she felt an emotional connection?

      She continued to consider the possibilities, as she stroked him, feeling him stir back to life in her hand. It was amazing how it grew, and changed shape at her command.

      Memories of her father and Yee-Ling, and their lovemaking, came to her.

      Walter was surprised as Jade rose from the crook of his arm, and straddled his loins. She lifted herself, and then lowered herself onto him.

      ‘Where did you learn that?’ he asked with delight.

      ‘I think we might have a lot to teach one another,’ smiled Jade, as she began to move on him, searching to find her own personal rhythm.

      Minutes later, Jade found the answer to her question of how good it could be.

      * * *

      With Walter still living with his parents, and the rock solid Mrs Petri guarding the virtue of her boarders, the chances for Jade and Walter to continue their affair would be limited. However, Jade was determined that her life would become less inhibited. She decided that, as soon as she graduated, a move to a home of her own would be in order.

      Enlisting Walter’s help, she had him search for a suitable property.

      ‘I want it to be large enough for Rani, and myself, with plenty of room for entertaining, and at a reasonable rent. I intend to have lots and lots of parties.’

      ‘Are you really sure you’re not getting in too deep?’

      ‘Don’t worry,’ smiled Jade. ‘I’ll have Rani to keep me in line. And we can have the place to ourselves when she’s at the hospital.’

      That offer was enough to ensure that Walter gave the project his most diligent attention.

      Exams finished, the girls were once again free to unwind.

      Jade had completed her final exams, and could now look for suitable employment, while Rani would soon commence her specialist
