’ she replied and kissed him. ‘I guess I better put my clothes back on,’ she sighed and then picked up her bra. ‘I suppose you realize I’m g...ing to have to go braless now, don’t you?’ ‘Guess so, besides, I prefer you that way.’ he chuckled, knowing full well that was his intent to begin with. He was relieved to see her bounce back after reliving the story she had told him. Now he just had to make sure nothing did happen to her. He still couldn’t remember what he was doing six years ago,. He left right away, and there was a good chance that he would be ready to rejoin the train when we pulled into the next town.I was very late getting home, and both of the women had begun to worry about me. I was greeted with kisses and hugs from both women and then fussing from both of them for not letting them know that I was going to be late. I knew better than to ask just how I was supposed to tell them; instead, I just let them work it out of their systems. I knew that the fussing was. I decided to tell Wendy that I thought Gillian was coming on to me but without going into all the details. She said "call her on it she'll run a bloody mile and that should be the end of it. "A week or so later we all got home after visiting some friends. Wendy was pretty drunk and had to be put to bed where she immediately fell asleep snoring. I went back downstairs to lock up. Gillian was still in the kitchen making coffee. "You looked nice tonight " I said to her. " As nice as I looked the. I can authorize it under research. So what do you say now?"Now it was Paul's turn to think. He smiled. "Tell you what. I'll do it under one condition." Ok, name it."He laughed. "You might decide it isn't worth it once I tell you." Shoot." You have to be the one I paint."This time she was speechless, staring at him with eyes as wide as saucers. "You're not serious!" she managed finally. "I'm no model." Maybe not, but if you're the only one I'm willing to let see it, then it makes perfect sense.
