Amy Hall is known to be enthusiastic about everything in life, but her enthusiasm shifted into high gear the day she read a script written by her young production assistant. From that moment everything in Miss Hall’s life changed for the better. Not only did Amy find what she has been looking for in her career, but she also found a friendship like none other with Tia Carter. The two women have a wonderful business relationship as well as a fulfilling friendship.
There was one thing that Amy always hoped and wished for since she was a teenager, love and belonging. Amy thought she didn’t care for love, or belonging, but ten years in partnership with Tia has brought Amy and her mother much love, belonging and extended family that she never dreamed possible. At the age of forty, Amy, who has never given babies a second thought, is pregnant. Being head of Sunlight Studios has its perks. Over the years, Amy has dated most of the powerful men outside the television industry, from politicians to stockbrokers. Through these connections, Amy met Pete Staples. They were introduced by Kelly Powers-Collins just a few weeks before Kelly’s wedding to Nick Collins. Pete works for Nick, and the pair hit it off right away. Pete had been married once before and since his divorce has been, more or less, married to his career – just like Amy.
They both loved hockey as well as golf. Their first date was on a golf course in company with Tia and Nathan Carter, and a few friends. Tia dared the boys to beat the girls. Nathan, not one to refuse a dare, especially when delivered from his wife’s lips, cheekily accepted the challenge.
“This one is in the bag, gentlemen,” said Nathan, who felt his weekly game with his father, Chase Page and Nick Collins gave him a special edge on the competition.
Tia didn’t bother to mention that she and Amy had been practicing, too. They began playing together just for fun. They would use the time on the course to bat around ideas for new television shows. At first, it was just a couple of girls escaping the office, but the more they golfed, the better their skills became, until both Tia and Amy became rather good at it.
To the surprise of all the men, Amy, Tia, Kelly and Evelyn beat the men hands down and Pete discovered he was head over heels in love with Amy. From the get-go, he saw how much energy she had and knew they would have some good times together. Their relationship, however, was not a sexual one.
After six months of dating, going to hockey games, and playing golf with their friends on weekends, Amy decided to take Tia’s advice and leave the relationship if Pete was not going to be more intimate. While they had shared many passionate kisses, the relationship had not developed into sexual intimacy. Although Amy liked Tia’s suggestion, she felt it would not be lady-like to confront Pete so bluntly. Nevertheless, Amy thought there might be another way to move things along.
She invited Pete to dinner in her luxury penthouse suite in Dundas. Afterward, she suggested watching the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators play-off game on her big-screen TV. Pete happily agreed. The press called it the Battle of Ontario and it had indeed been an exciting series with both teams winning two games each. Game five, the end of the third period, the Senators’ forward scored the game-winning goal, sending the team to the finals for the first time in the club’s history. Amy and Pete, both Senators fans, celebrated with some kissing and groping.
“I know you’re going to leave me,” Pete blurted out.
“Hon? I don’t know how the dating game works in today’s society, but you don’t break up with a man you’re crazy about,” replied Amy.
Amy didn’t realize the significance of Pete’s outburst until her hands felt him between the legs. Embarrassed, Amy thought this must be the first time she has not been able to arouse a man, especially one who was everything her heart desired and more. She did her best to arouse him, but there was no response. She felt Pete’s heart rate go up and asked in a soft voice whether she turned him on at all.
The question broke Pete’s heart. He sat up on the sofa and grabbed his shirt. Reluctant to make eye-contact with Amy, he knew he could not let her think the situation was her fault.
Blushing with embarrassment, Pete said, “Honey, it’s not you. I have a problem. I’ve been meaning to buy some Viagra since we started seeing each other, but I just haven’t gotten around to it.”
It hadn’t occurred to Amy that middle-aged men have trouble getting it up, so she replied, “Well, maybe I should upgrade from my comfy PMS panties to Victoria’s Secret thongs!”
Pete thought she was adorably funny. “Honey, I think you look sexy in men’s boxers. I have a problem. I just don’t want to disappoint you. I can only last a few minutes.”
“Oh! Oh? Why didn’t you say so?”
Hope rose in Pete’s heart. “I think I just did.”
Amy took Pete by the hand and led him into her bedroom. He was surprised that Amy was taking everything so well. He assumed that telling her about his erectile dysfunction would spell the end of the relationship.
“Did you hear what I said?”
“Hon, with the demands of our jobs, we need something to help do most of the things that come naturally to most people,” she said encouragingly.
Pete felt lost and rather confused. Amy stepped out of the room, so he glanced at her headboard full of books wondering how she had time to read so many. He realized that all of the books were about sex. Then he looked at her collection of DVDs and then at the photographs decorating the walls.
“Wow! She has more porn than most guys I know,” Pete mused.
Amy’s voice echoed down the hallway, “I think this is the one we need!” As she returned to the bedroom, Amy held out a spray bottle. Before Pete could ask what she was going on about, she had unzipped his pants, exposed his penis and sprayed the cold stuff on it. He couldn’t believe her audacity. Amy smiled at him in feminine welcome. For half a second, Pete thought about asking her to stop. Amy continued to rub his penis and to kiss him at the same time. It was not long before Pete saw something he had never seen before in his life: not only was his manhood hard as a rock, but it also seemed to be enlarged, too. He didn’t think about it as she stroked his penis, appreciating its rigidity. Suddenly, Pete felt a powerful urgency to enter Amy. The moment he entered her, Pete felt as if he had found a part of himself that he didn’t know existed. Furthermore, he was surprised how long he lasted.
Afterwards, as they lay in each other’s arms, Pete asked, “What was that stuff?”
“The spray?” asked Amy. “It’s an all-natural product I found on a website. You don’t need to see a doctor to buy it, and there are no side-effects, apparently.”
Amy, too, was pleased with the results of the spray. The sensation of their love-making was unbelievably erotic. “Sex with Pete is phenomenal,” Amy shared with Tia a few days later. After that night, though, things changed between them. They were very close for a month or two, but Amy noticed that Pete was becoming more or less like most men: selfish in bed and unconcerned about Amy’s sexual happiness. Amy told herself: when it comes to relationships, don’t expect anything and you won’t get hurt. Somehow, this time was different.
