I could feel my arms and legs withno problem. My nervous system seemed to be intact which was real goodnews."What the hell was I thinking?" I groaned...as I remembered drunkenlyplaying around with the sphere.But as I remembered what I'd done, I also hesitated a moment andwondered if maybe it hadn't been entirely accidental.

A pool boy that was walking among the pool guest distributing towels stopped at her chair.

She found her face only inches from his. Then he applied the lotion to her neck, then.
