Dory was sitting outside at the campfire watching the embers glow in the
night when Rachel came out of the camper. Not much had been said by
either of them since they had left the lodge about an hour or so ago. Rachel
had driven the cart down in a tight-lipped silence. Dory knew the minute she
walked off the stage, that Rachel was going to be pissed. Even so, it had
been worth every minute of being up on Stage with Lindy. Now though, it
was going to take some doing to get back into Rachel’s good graces.

Rachel wordlessly handed Dory a Hoodie to put on against the night air
then she sat down on the other side of the fire. Dory shrugged her way into
the garment and zipped it up.

“Kinda chilly tonight…..” Dory tried to break the ice.

Rachel wasn’t rising to the bait. She put her chin in her hands and looked
deep in the flames of the flickering fire.

“I’m sorry…..about tonight…..” Dory mumbled.

Rachel continued to stare into the fire, contemplating her words carefully.
When Rachel finally looked over at Dory there was a look on her face that
Dory had never seen before.

“What do you want from life Dory?” Rachel asked.

This question was totally out the blue and not what Dory had been mentally
preparing for.

“Money, prestige, nice clothes, nice home, exotic vacations,” Dory ticked
them off without even thinking.

“What about love?” Rachel asked quietly.

“Well of course I want great sex, doesn't everyone?” Dory laughed at the
absurdity of question.

Rachel shook her head. “What about love? I am not talking about mind-
blowing sex…I’m talking about love.”

Dory sat there perplexed. She had been prepared for a fight about her
dancing on the stage and Rachel was sitting across from her asking
questions about sex and love. Dory talked all the time about the things that
she wanted….Rachel should know these answers by now.

“You should know me well enough by now to know what things I want.”
Dory smiled slyly as she looked Rachel up and down wolfishly.

“I know what
things you want…..I want to know what you want….” Rachel
emphasized the words carefully.

“I want the same things you do……” Dory tried to play the word game and
turn it to her advantage.

“Then tell me….what do you think I want?” Rachel asked in a very controlled
voice.

“You want me to……make you cum so hard your head spins……you want
me to fuck you until you scream……you want me…..” Dory licked her lips
“to go down on you for hours at a time until you beg me to stop…..”

Rachel looked back down into the fire and slowly shook her head no.
“What I want….”she said as she looked back across the dying embers that
glowed softly in the stone ring at Dory “is to love and be loved!” she said
simply.

“But I just said that I did...” Dory tried to get defensive and pout.

“No…..what you said is that you fucked me…..not that you loved me….not
that you ever loved me….you just enjoy….. fucking me….” Rachel said
sadly.

“But you know I love you!” Dory implored.

“If you loved me….then why….would you do what you did tonight? Love is
about respect. I understand you wanted to have a good time….I understand
that you were doing what you have been doing through our whole
relationship……and I let you. I let you because you were young….I let you
because I thought in some way it was sexy and hot…..and I let you
because…….until tonight I really didn’t know what I wanted…….but I do
know…..I don’t want….
to be fucked with anymore!”

Rachel got up and went to the pail of water that was sitting by the fire ring
and she dosed the dying embers and took a stick and scattered them so
they would cool. Then she walked back into the camper with the words she
had spoken still ringing in Dory’s ears……
