Not YET, But I Leave The Door Open...

"Jane, what exactly are you offering as a reward?" I ask as kindly as I can.

"Father Nemo! Since you are not celibate I am sure not even an amnesiac can so misconstrue my words and actions as to not understand what I am offering, to whit: Sex," Jane says with a laugh.

"That's what I thought," I begin, placing my hands on her shoulders, "Jane, you are a very beautiful woman, and I thank you for your most humbling offer, but we don't even know each other yet. Such liaisons can lead to children, and we are not even sure who we are, much less if we will like each other when we know more about both ourselves and the other person; given that I feel it would be irresponsible to leap into such an act so soon. I am sure you are a very nice woman and you are far from unattractive but I don't want to **** the fact that I just rescued you to elicit your favors, if you chose to honor me with them I want it to come from love, not lust, and since you have known me all of ten minutes lust is all that can be between us for now. Rest assured, I will not abandon you because we do not have sex, I am resolved that we, having amnesia in common and apparently being of the same faith, should travel together for a time, but for the moment sex is not something I am comfortable with. When we know more about each other and our situation we can reconsider, but for the moment, and let me stress once more that it is not because I do not desire you physically, but I want more in a relationship than physical attraction, savvy?" I explain, as gently as I can.
