Although he’d claimed to have liked it, she wasn’t certain whether he appreciated her assertive take-charge approach. Although not as sexually experienced as some of her classmates and/ or coworkers—her sum total of liaisons was limited to two—she’d become a participant whenever sex became the topic of conversation. It was those explicit conversations, coupled with pornographic films, that fueled her fertile imagination. She’d bonded with three single female teachers at Cambridge Valley Prep. When they didn’t have dates, they usually got together on either Friday or Saturday nights. If they met in her apartment, then it’d become Chandra’s responsibility to provide the food and beverages. In order to avoid a conflict, they’d set up a rotating schedule for their get-togethers. One night someone rented a pornographic movie, and when the images appeared on the television screen it was to stunned silence. They laughed at most of the antics because the acting was so contrived, but viewing the movie served as a pleasant diversion for their girls’ night.
