"This is gonna sound a little predatory, but... do you have sex with guys?"
Nickolai nearly choked on his potato salad.
"I'm sorry..."
"No, no... that was just not a question I thought you were going to ask."
"Oh, well... Do you?"
"I... I did."
"But you preferred women more."
"A lot more. Why?"
"Do you want the honest truth?"
"Usually," Skii replied, smiling.
"Because the guy I slept with asked too damned much of me. If you'll pardon the phrase, I don't like getting fucked."
"He forced you... ?"
"No," Nickolai sighed. "But he made me feel like... well, it's hard to say. It was two years ago, I think, and I guess he made me feel like I wasn't a real man if I couldn't do that."
Skii scowled. "Look, I just talked to Molly, and she said that you and she have a... 'raincheck.' What is a raincheck?"
"As far as I can remember, if an outdoor event gets rained out, a raincheck is a promise that tickets for the event are good later."
"Oh... then why 'raincheck'?"
"There are good reasons why Furry and I aren't going crazy and grabbing Molly, or Ken for that matter, since he did make a pass at us earlier this week."
"Did he now?" Skii smiled mischeviously.
"It was only a little one, and P'nyssa caught him at it."
"Still... look, can I take a 'raincheck' on the same offer?"
"Huh?"
"Since you 'usually want the truth,' I'll give you some. I'd really like to spend the night with both of you."
"Both of us?"
"Both of you. Just because I have a preference for men doesn't mean I don't like women; I'm not like Aaden that way. And that's not saying anything bad about Aaden," he finished quickly. "It's just that Furry's really cute. And I think playing with both of you would be very interesting. And I don't know how you feel about me, but I think I'm pretty trustworthy."
"As long as you're not driving," Nickolai said, laughing.
"Hey, I was pretty careful when I had a passenger."
"You were trying not to scare him that night. In the morning you weren't so careful."
"We were a hurry," Skii replied with a smile. "You're right. I'm a maniac on the road. I admit it. But I'm not a rapist."
"Neither was he," Nickolai mused. "Just a schmuck."
