A Subway Story
The last of the series of stories set on subway trains. This one involves a man, his lover and a nun's habit. An excerpt: "Do you realize what it does to a guy's ego when he's gotten a woman off six times in one night? And for Clarissa, that would just be shooting par. She made me feel like the greatest lover in the world. So she was perfect except for the one teeny, tiny, infinitesimal flaw: She was stark raving crazy about exhibitionist sex."
