most probably get blow jobs and hand jobs all the time. Maybe a different blow job or hand job from a different girl every night. No one’s judging them. So why should I be judged if I let a guy grope my breasts or even finger me? Oops!” I glanced at her red face. “Am I making you embarrassed, Sarah?”

“Yeah. I guess that’s true.” Sarah was one of my best friends, but she was also slightly younger than me. Sarah was twenty-three while I was twenty-eight and she’d never really had a serious boyfriend. Though I was going to help her change that.

“Sounds good to me.” She looked excited. “I can’t wait to hear all about these dates. I bet you’re going to have the most amazing time. This is going to be the best Christmas ever.”
“You know what, Sarah? I was thinking just the same thing. I was thinking that I’m going to be on Santa’s naughty list for sure, but I really don’t mind.”

“You are amazing. Is that a bottle of red and a white?”
“Yeah. I wasn’t sure which one you wanted, so I bought a Zinfandel, and I also brought ...”
“Let me guess.”
“Do you really think you can guess?”
