"what! so you haven't had sex yet?"

"shh! lower your voice!" kim looks around the office to make sure no one heard dee. "it's not like we never had sex before. it's just that we're waiting for their divorce papers to arrive before we do it."

"why?"

"she feels guilty if we'll do it while she's still legally married to the father of her kid."

"and so?" dee raises an eyebrow. "i'm sorry. i don't get the point. you're okay with katie now, right? what is she still feeling guilty for?"

"i don't know..." kim shrugs. "maybe that's how she wants to show her respect to peter and katie before the court finalises everything."

dee hums. "but her ex-husband-to-be is already screwing another woman, right?"

"well..." kim shrugs again, but realises she run out of answers. "look. i respect pie and her decision, whatever it is."

"sweet." dee playfully jabs her. "but i'm curious... is she allowing you to kiss her?"

kim nods. "everything is allowed until here." she draws an imaginary line across her waist.

"ooh. hot. i suppose that means you make out a lot." dee picks some papers from the nearby table and fixes it. "and then sleep it off after?" she chuckles.

"are you mocking me?" kim asks, annoyed.

"chill!" dee's still laughing. "i'm sorry." another laugh. "i admire you, really. this must be tough for you." kim was about to speak but dee interrupts her. "i know you respect her decision. that's totally fine. i'm actually amazed at how you two can control it."

"well, i've to admit there were times we almost... snapped," kim admits. "the recent one was a few days ago. remember it was raining the other night? we were making out and got carried away. she usually stops me whenever my hands get playful. but that night she allowed me to take her top off."

dee's eyebrows rose. "take it off like... half-naked in front of you?"

"yup."

"then what happened?"

"pie's terrified of thunders." kim chuckles. "we lost the momentum after a loud thunder disturbed us."

"you should have coaxed her back after she calms down."

kim shakes her head. "unfortunately, katie's terrified of thunders too. she came knocking at the door. pie had to rush to get herself dressed. the three of us slept together that night."

"what a tragic sex story." dee sighs. "do you think you would go down that road if the thunder didn't happen?"

"can't say. i always stop whenever i feel like i'm taking it too far. i don't want to push her into it."

"well, you don't need to push her. you can make her want it too and let her lose self control."

kim looks at dee. "what do you mean?"

"have you ever tried seducing her? not the bold way but the subtle way."

a lightbulb pops in kim's mind. "how?"

"show some skin but don't strip off. embrace her then let go. give her sensual touches then pull back. kiss her but don't give in. you know, it's like giving her a taste of something nice then taking it back so she would want more. make her lust for you."

kim blinks. two times. three times. "are you sure that will work?"

dee laughs. "just try it. let's see how long she can keep her hands to herself."
