I allowed myself a moment to savour the scene, the beautiful reddened buttocks, the sight of her vagina and its surrounding enchanted forest of pubic ...air peering so provocatively between the tops of her shapely thighs. Yes, her bottom was indeed a perfect target for the cane!I tested the flexible rattan through the air, it’s delicious swish as I did so causing Debbie to flinch, unsure whether she was about to feel the cane’s first bite upon her already challenged flesh. After tapping the cane. It was me, the infinitesimal dot on the cue ball, the mascot on the prow of this great vessel of rock and ice and gas as we rushed through the vacuum of space. Ulla’s voice cut through the lofty, philosophical thought. ‘We must make a fuck,’ She said. ‘Outside. Here. With the ocean and the stars.

I know of thefamily and it's background. The neighborhood will change slightly, butfor the better. At least I can sleep knowing my niece and nephew are ina place that will be safer. And if worse comes to worse, both Jo and Ihave another babysitting client."Belle said, "That might work out Nicole."I had Kong stay. Then I couldn’t hear it any more. That confused me, but it was a distant thought. After all, it wasn’t like I’d stopped breathing.As soon as the thought occurred to me, something else invaded my consciousness. A bright flash and loud sound that I couldn’t identify. I got the sense that something had changed and I reeled, off-balance. All was blackness, so I couldn’t be certain whether I’d tripped or even been sent sprawling by something unseen. The sound repeated again and the blackness was.
