Jodie always returned his kisses with full passion, partly because she couldn't help it and partly because she hoped that one night, finally, he'd lose control of himself and take her to bed. Tonight her hope was stronger than ever. She slid her hot little tongue into his mouth and probed around.

She felt the big man shiver, and he pulled her tighter against him, till her lust-engorged nipples poked against his chest. He had to feel her hot hard nubs even through his shirt. Jodie was almost trembling with lust by now, and her pretty face was flushed when they finally came up for air.

"God, you turn ine on," Craig sighed.

"I wish the feeling wasn't mutual," Jodie said bitterly. "Really, Craig, isn't this kind of crazy?"

"Jodie," he said with a frown, "we've been over this again and again. I have my beliefs, and I intend to stick by them. If you can't handle that, I guess you should look for another man."

And where would she do that? Jodie and Craig were both teachers in a small midwestern town, a town so small that Craig was just about the only man there who attracted her. She couldn't think of anybody else she'd want to date, let alone marry. Craig was her only choice.

"I don't want you to look for anybody else, though, honey," he went on. "I don't think I could stand that."

He slid his hands onto her tits, squeezing them sensuously through her clothes. Jodie leaned back and shivered with excitement. She felt kind of crazy tonight, crazy enough to ask a question that had been on her mind ever since their first date. It might make him mad, but she had to know.

"Craig," she said, "if you don't believe in sex before marriage, does that mean you're a virgin?"

He did look a little annoyed, and he answered gruffly, "No, no, of course I'm not a virgin. I've been with lots of girls I wouldn't dream of marrying. But you're special, Jodie."
