Victor was an exceptional 18-year-old in many ways, but in one way he was exactly like every other straight and not incredibly sexually experienced 18-year-old guy: When somebody this special hooked her slim leg around his, and arched up to kiss him and touch him more -- it was pretty much game over. He was gone, exploding into the stratosphere.

Metaphorically speaking, of course.

He fisted a hand into the bedspread, trying to hold on for long enough to get her there, too.
