<strong>The</strong> <strong>Long</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Storied</strong> <strong>Life</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jose</strong> <strong>Montoya</strong> 82mouth. This was the first time he had ever been kissed in this way: Concepcion would not allow it,<strong>and</strong> the camp girls in Mexico for all their friendliness had wanted to charge him more than he waswilling to pay for the privilege. It was overwhelming, a sensation unlike any he had ever experienced,<strong>and</strong> his body was reacting in predictable ways.Opening his eyes a fraction <strong>of</strong> a millimeter, <strong>Jose</strong> took a sidelong glance at Juan Paolo, who waswatching the two <strong>and</strong> laughing hysterically, much like Grayley might have. He was growing fainterwith each guffaw, apparently unable to both laugh so hard <strong>and</strong> simultaneously stay visible. <strong>Jose</strong> nolonger cared if Juan Paolo stayed to watch or not, no longer cared for anything that might make himstop short <strong>of</strong> hurtling over the edge. Swinging his gaze back forward, Eudora's face filled his wholeworld, her tongue filled his whole mouth, <strong>and</strong> her whole body rubbed against him in slight butoverwhelming motions. He was sure she could feel him as she ground against him. She pulled herface back from him <strong>and</strong> smiled an animal smile that matched the feelings pulsing wildly through him.On a blanket <strong>of</strong> grass covering a pile <strong>of</strong> bones, the two made love.<strong>The</strong> following Wednesday at the library Eudora <strong>and</strong> <strong>Jose</strong> could barely manage to stay within thebounds <strong>of</strong> social acceptability. It did not take long for the two to decide to leave the library <strong>and</strong> itsrules <strong>and</strong> restrictions <strong>and</strong> strike out for more fertile pastures. <strong>The</strong> night was clear <strong>and</strong> startlingly cold,<strong>and</strong> although Eudora did not seem overly bothered by it, it chilled <strong>Jose</strong> so severely that he was sure hefelt his bones actually cracking. Not knowing where to go, the pair decided on <strong>Jose</strong>'s barracks room. Itwas strictly against the rules governing nursing students that Eudora should visit male quarters, <strong>and</strong><strong>Jose</strong> thought that it was equally against his rules that he should entertain female company, but inweighing the rules against the cold <strong>of</strong> the night <strong>and</strong> the practically non-existent chance <strong>of</strong> being caught,the rules easily lost out. <strong>Jose</strong>'s quarters, isolated by the rifle range at the edge <strong>of</strong> the camp, was anexcellent choice for a trysting place.
