The Tower of Endless Worlds

by Jonathan Moeller

“The pizza’s cold.”

  Simon squinted into the glare of the setting sun. He grumbled, staggered over to the window, and pulled the shade shut. “Oh, man. The shade was open the entire time.”

  Katrina laughed and took a bite of pizza. “I don’t think anyone noticed. And if anyone did, I doubt we would have noticed.”

  Simon stared at her. He had never seen a naked woman eating a slice of pizza before.

  Katrina laughed. “You have the stupidest grin on your face.”

  “I…um…well, I’m hungry,” said Simon. He took a slice of pizza for himself.

  Katrina grinned at him, her eyes sparkling. “Of course you are. We were busy.”

  “Yeah.” Simon laughed. “I suppose we were.” He looked at her and smiled, his eyes wandering up and down her body. He dropped the slice of cold pizza on the table and reached for her. “I hate cold pizza.”

  “What’s this?” said Katrina, taking him into her arms. “Am I going to have to start…” He swallowed her words with a kiss.

  They forgot about the pizza for a while.
