Then reality settled in and I realized we'dbe making less money and that my career was all of a sudden derailed. Mywife and I spent a lot of time figu...ing it out and decided we'd be okay.I began working from home but refrained from dressing because it seemedlike an extravagance and I felt guilty partaking on personal fun when myprofessional life was going down hill.I quickly learned working from home actually sucked. The only interactionI had was with my dogs; the days just dragged on.. Her eyes – ohhh, her gorgeous cat’s-eyes which often stayed open to let me lose myself in their depth. The way she sweetly called me ‘Milacik’ – a word that I came to know so well, and which expressed her love so many different ways. The same word could express a multitude of meanings – sometimes a question, sometimes a playful scold, other times a caress, but always a promise of unending bliss. She questioned anything and everything. Nothing was sacrosanct. Half answers were never acceptable,. There had been some suspicion for some time about the fact that some of the cases that SSA Van Horn had been supervising, over a period of the previous two years, had seemed to come up short just before the bust had been about to go down.Zach told me that the Feds had verified, through physical forensic testing, that the place that Lana had been working had been attacked with some sort of incapacitating agent similar to the gas that had been used in Russia against Chechen terrorists in a school. I still have my boxers on, but the sensation makes me twitch and grow quickly.I try to lift myself up onto my elbows so I can return the favour and start to tease her, but she gently pushes me back to a laying position - clearly she’s taking early control, not that I mind!She leans forward, not taking her hand off me - smiles and tells me to relax. Then we kiss, gently at first, her soft lips melting into mine and then our tongues meeting again. I run my fingers through her hair, as she starts.
