Debbie, however, was right back on the phone. Rumors were a strangecommodity for someone in the public eye. Rumors could cripple orcatapult a career... But this was her private life. Her friends, nowalso Brian's, were discussing a subject they should know had no merit,and by even giving it voice in private, regardless of their belief oneway or the other, could spill out to potential disaster for Brian asmuch as her, or her agency.* * * * * * * *Brian was surprised to hear the doorbell to his. Other women began to join her, and they divided up the work. Luhaallowed another girl to take over the mortar and pestle as she took alarge bag, and immersed it in the now steaming water. As one began tomake a batter of the ground grain, another added fresh grain. Otherssliced meat, putting it on skewers to hang over the fire. Another pulledcoals onto a stone in the edge of the fire. She picked up handsful ofthe dough, slapping it back and forth between her hands. Then swiped thecoals away,. Jake tried to avoid looking, but he found he couldn’t do it for more than a few seconds. For one thing, Josephine was only a few feet away from him. So was quite adept at pleasuring herself with her fingers and her pink toy.She talked a lot too, mostly using the kind of patter people tend towards during sexual activities. It didn’t have to be particularly clever. At one point she said, “Oh my God, if I keep this up, my clitoris is going to explode, I think.”Jake didn’t comment much, but Livia. Donna woke up ahead of the alarm clock once again, even with the earlier time. She felt a little strange being nude; but remembered all of last night with crystal clarity. She pulled Suzi tighter against her and waited for the alarm to wake her. She didn't feel any need to rush because Suzi truly looked like an angel when she slept.“She felt good in my arms.” She was smaller and fit well against her. She gently kicked the sheet off and laid her out straight and took a minute to just look at.
