MARISSA
Dane got off the couch and paced. "Love. A relationship. Marriage."
"Why do I need to want those things in order to have sex?" Marissa swung her legs over the side of the couch as she sat up. "I've studied the subject in depth and there have never been any indications that one must be in love with a partner in order to achieve an orgasm."
Dane looked at her as if she'd spoken ancient Greek. "Making love is a lot better when you care about the person."
"Responses are increased when emotions are involved...that makes sense. Yes, of course, there must be several benefits to making love when partners care about each other." She looked at Dane. "I will give the matter some more thought."
"Good."
"Could you hand me my purse? I need to find the list."
Dane took the purse from the chair she'd dropped it into and gave it to her. "You're not going to add anything to it, are you?"
"I'm going to mark something off." She dug out the pink paper and a pen.
"The one-night stand?"
