“You’re right,” he nodded, grinning lewdly. “I guess I just wanted something to remember for a couple of days. With your sister here, I’m not going to be able to see you and that’s going to be tough, baby!”

Her happy expression changed to one of worry. She knew exactly what Jerry meant. They had been having so much fun living together and now, for the next few days, they’d have to act like strangers. She couldn’t roll over to him in the middle of the night and do all the wonderful things they did for fun. Gail would be here… prim, proper Gail! Crystal was sure Gall hadn’t changed a bit. When she was living at home, Gail hadn’t even had a boyfriend and Crystal was willing to bet that Gail had never even been kissed. Why Gail would probably faint, dead away, if she knew even one tenth of what she and Jerry did for fun! Gail simply wouldn’t understand.

Crystal gave a tight little smile in the darkness. She really ought to liberate her older sister. Maybe she ought to ask Jerry to line Gail up with Frank Harris! That ought to be good for a few laughs!

The thought was so absurd that she almost dissolved in giggles. There was no way Frank Harris would be interested in Gail and even if he was, Gail would run from Jerry’s handsome boss as if he were hell on wheels! Not even Frank, as darkly handsome and experienced as he was, could turn Gail into a sexy person. Crystal would have bet her life on that!

CHAPTER THREE

“I must get home fairly soon,” Gail Davis said, smiling up at Herb Larsen, her date for that evening. “I have to pack and get ready for a very early start in the morning.”

“Why are you going two days early?” Herb asked, squinting his eyes behind his hornrimmed glasses. “The teacher’s convention doesn’t start until Wednesday.”
