He drove through the alleyway to the other side, then made a sharp left, and soon was on a small road Jo Ann knew nothing about.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"In a suburb of Carlson," he replied. "Carlson is just next to Colton, and a nice, quiet place."

He drove for less than ten minutes, pulling off onto a second road, this time a dirt road. He drove for a hundred feet before they were surrounded on both sides by large hedges. Then he made a sharp left, bypassed one small house with a picket fence, drove across barren ground, came to another house, drove around the side, and pressed the button on an automatic garage-door opener.

"This is home away from home," he replied. "Unless you drive a car and have driven here at least twice by yourself, it would take an uncanny sense of direction to find this place."

He was right, because Jo Ann knew she had no idea where she was. He drove right into the garage, and as the garage door closed, a light went on.

He helped her out of the car and they walked into a small kitchen that was used very occasionally. He led her past the living room and directly down the hall to the large master bedroom. Ushering her inside, he said, "Under normal circumstances, if you were older, and I was the one doing the seducing, and I knew you had time, I would make drinks, cause you to relax and be nice and comfy. Unfortunately, time is working against us, and so you'll excuse me if I hurry things a bit."

"Sure," she nodded, sitting on the edge of the bed as he sat beside her, putting an arm around her. She automatically snuggled against him, feeling very comfortable even though she really didn't know the man at all.

Jo Ann's heart was beginning to pound all the more rapidly, and she freely admitted to herself that she was not only anxious, but frightened. She was taken totally by surprise when the man bent his head and gave her the first lover's kiss she had ever known, planting it smack-dab on her mouth. It was not a very arousing kiss as far as Jo Ann was concerned, nor was it enjoyable since he seemed to be hurrying everything. He did say they had an hour and a half. Gee! There must be an awful lot to learn in that time.
