Chapter 47. The French kiss.
I’m often asked whether I connect with people outside of the online realm. The short answer is, yes. The longer answer is, yes, but it is selective and not something that I actively seek out. That said, I recently had the opportunity to experience a night with someone from the virtual world. Pierre (name changed) initially caught my attention with his charm, confidence, and kindness. He never saw me as just a body, but as a person with a life of my own, simply enjoying this wild ride here. Pierre always gave me the perfect blend of respect and arousal when he messaged. He shared that he was French, and what he did professionally. We spent time on zoom just talking and laughing about everything from sex to business to music and beyond. His voice was deep, calm, and soothing. I found myself lost in it when he laughed. After many months of chats and zooms, we decided to have dinner. Just dinner. No expectations for afterwards. And yet I think we both knew that the possibility of something more was in the cards.
