I slowly slipped the collar and leash off the wall and placed it around my neck. Since my first and only punishment at Jeff's hands, I had been antici...ating and dreading this moment. Jeff, however, did not make it easy for me.Despite the fact that I practically threw myself at Jeff, brushing against him, wiggling in front of him, doing everything but offering my body to him, Jeff just treated me as the mom of his friend. I knew what he wanted.Jeff was not going to take me; I would have to give. Karen got up and kissed him. Then went to the bath to get the air freshener.

They had teased my hair when we finished our baths and it now looked more like Mary?s hair than mine. Mary started with some color for my cheeks and some color for my eyes and eyebrows. We all have blue eyes like our Mom, and Mary took a brush and my eyes were outlined in a light robin?s egg blue shade. She applied something to my eyelids and then used a brush to brush them and they were longer and a very dark.
