"Porn," he had replied, still not looking at her.
She laughed. "Very funny."
"Well, it's not really..." he admitted, giving her a sheepish grin. "It's just an e-book of useless sexual trivia."
"More trivia, huh?" she smiled, shaking her head.
"It's interesting," he said. "Did you know that Centiskorch has the most sexual organs of any Pokémon?"
"Oh gross," she groaned, hiding her face in her hands. "Max, please!"
"Okay, okay," he grinned. "How about this... How many orgasms do you think was the most ever recorded for a woman in 24 hours?"
May cocked her head at him, frowning. "I don't know... nine? Ten?"
His smile grew. "A hundred and thirty four."
Her eyes widened. "Oh my gosh! I'd die!"
"For guys it was only sixteen... although I swear I've beat that..."
"Max!" May hissed his name, glancing around at the sleeping bus to see if anyone was listening.
"How many for you?" he asked, looking at her speculatively.
"I don't know," she shrugged, biting her lower lip. She had the distinct feeling that she shouldn't be talking about this with her brother. "Probably five... maybe six..."
"Lightweight," he said with a wink. "But you guys... or gals, I should say... get to have longer orgasms. A man's climax only lasts 10 seconds, tops... girls have had orgasms for nearly a minute..."
May squirmed in her seat. "Max... let's change the subject..."
"Why?" he asked, giving her a sideways look. "You want to talk about Pokémon crackers some more?"
"No!" she protested. "Ok, fine, tell me more...sex trivia..."
"There are only five calories in the typical male ejaculation," he told her.
"Oh gosh!" she laughed. "That's a good reason not to swallow!"
"Eh, not really," he said. "Sexual intercourse burns about three hundred and sixty calories."
"Well, at least one can say they're multitasking..."
"Did you know a woman's nipple can swell up to twenty five percent when she's aroused?"
May flushed. "Is that so?"
"Well, that's what it says..." Max's eyes moved over the front of his sister's blouse. "And this is kind of neat... there's a tribe on one of the Cook Islands where boys of a certain age are actually taught how to have sex... everything from intercourse to cunnilingus, and methods for delayed ejaculation..."
"Like... hands on?" May swallowed, wiggling in her seat.
"I think so," he nodded. "Which, when you think about it, could be really useful..."
When he trailed off, she glanced over at him. "Yeah?"
Max sighed. "Well... let's just say, I could use some, too."
May looked at her brother, amused with a little smile on her face. "I bet you'd do alright."
"I'm a geek," he said, shrugging. "Geeks don't get the girls, you know."
"Ha!" she nudged him with her shoulder. "What about that Bonnie girl last year? I saw you guys, you know..."
Max flushed. "Yeah? Well... you should have closed your bedroom door when you were... ya know... getting busy..."
May felt her face fill with heat. "Max! You didn't..."
He shrugged, busily studying his Pokédex.
"I think we should try to get some sleep," May whispered, reaching up and turning off his reading light. The screen of the Pokédex still glowed in the dark.
May reached under her seat and grabbed the sleeping bag she had packed, snuggling underneath. The rocking of the bus, which should have lulled her off to sleep, seemed to vibrate through her body, making her feel on edge. Still, she gave it a valiant try, only succeeding in tossing and turning in her seat.
"I can't sleep, either," Max whispered in the dark, shifting in his seat.
May sighed. "Here, do you want covers?"
Max accepted the other half of the sleeping bag, pulling it over his shoulders. "Are you thinking about dad?"
"No," she admitted.
"Me, either," he replied.
There was a long silence as the bus traveled on in the dark. Someone coughed. Up front, another light turned off.
"What were you thinking about?" May whispered.
There was another silence. Then, Max said, "You."
