then. You've already been... dosed,
as you called it."
"Then why will having sex make the conversion better?"
"Energy, Ed. Sex seems to help a convertee soak up energy and makes the
process better somehow. A convertee who just sits on his ass during the first
week will end up with maybe half the ability of one who screws his way -- or her
way, of course -- through that crucial first week."
Cade decided that he'd waited long enough for her to join him in nakedness
and said, "Thanks for the info." He thumbed toward the bathroom and added, "See
you in a while, unless you want to come get wet with me."
Setting her drink can on the desk, Andrea smilingly said, "Sounds good. I'll
be right there," and took off her jacket to hang it on the chair. Her skirt came

Leaving them to their own devices, she lifted upward at barely subsonic
speed until she reached fifty thousand feet, then she poured on the coal.

"Mandi!" said Jackie. "You're back!" then he muttered, "Not to mention your
front..."
Grinning as she sighed at the remark, Mandi said, "I heard that. Been
watching old Groucho Marx reruns again?"

y'know. How was Atlanta?"
Reaching into the fridge, she said, "It's still there."
"All because of you, according to WNN."
"Oh, there were a few others involved."
