Tara finished the topic when she said, “Everything here is back to normal. We’re good. Everything is good and I don’t think we’ll be having th...t problem again.” The steel in her tone told me a lot. Edwina just looked at her shoes and said nothing. Surprisingly Ben had a pretty dark look to go along with Tara’s. Someone had a very unpleasant time when they hurt a loved one of his.Good. It saved me a lot of trouble while I was dealing with my own troublesome problem.Two nights later, Tara and I. Appearance was everything. She wanted to make sure that the crowd she was to perform for would be completely accepting and approving of her. In turn, her own pleasure would be fulfilled. She opened the door to her escorts, two women taking her by the hand and bringing her to entrance to the room behind a red silk curtain.They helped her prepare, making sure she looked absolutely perfect and then stepped back with a smile. Neither of them spoke a word.The Oriental woman stepped out from behind. She almost jumped over the chair with this, and wailed as loud as she could, at the second impact, she lost it. Grabbing her bottom with both hands, she jumped up, and tried to escape. Edward stopped her before she managed more than a step. ?None of that, now?, he said in a stern voice, as he held her under his arm, bending her over. ?I'm afraid we'll have to do those two again?, with that he gave her twenty strokes, each one leaving a crimson line. He spaced them out from the top of her. When what to my wondering ears did I hear from a cave to the south, but, "Open up wide, fat boy and I'll stick this in your mouth!!"Creeping to the edge of a cliff there was a caveFrom which I heard a man cry out wanting to be saved!It was St Nicholas himself strapped face down ona large wooden table, arms tied down to a set of legs at one end of the table while legs he could move, yes he was able. My oh my, how his cheeks, they did glow!, and the whip in the green man’s hand said all I needed.
