After a long silence, I tentatively asked," Did things work out between you?"
Shannon stopped packing her clothes and looked somewhat seriously at me, saying," I have a particularly serious question to ask you.”
I rarely saw her this serious, so I could not help but become serious as well. "What serious question is it?"
Not feeling the least bit embarrassed about it, she asked straight away, "Did you ever feel powerless when you had sex with Theo previously?"
I froze, not knowing how to answer her.
When sex was involved, things would certainly get awkward.
I flushed and was not planning to answer the question, but when I saw the expectant look on her face as she waited for me to answer, I could only helplessly ask, "Are you saying that Jordan is powerless in this area?”
Shannon pursed her lips. "Well, the two of u s were clearly caught in a blazing fit of passion, but we’d always stop at the most critical step."
I brushed my nose, and after clearing my throat, I asked, "You or Jordan?"
"Both." Her expression was serious. "We tried several times but it felt awkward each time. It just never worked out."
Honestly, I had not experienced anything like that.
Seeing that I was pondering and not answering, Shannon asked, "Had anything similar ever happened to you and Theo?"
I did not want to answer the question and asked her, "This isn't Jordan's first time, right?"
