Sometimes it is hard to work up enough anger," Ray answered."Oh. So you are not haunted by visions of Dana and her lover in bed?" Mike asked as he lob...ed his verbal grenade.Dana's grip loosened in Ray's hand. She wanted to pull away. She wanted to hide her hand in her lap. Ray tightened his grip and then gave her hand three reassuring squeezes."Not haunted. The anger isn't always there standing at attention anymore. Sometimes I'll see something, or think of something and the memories will come. I’ll never let anyone hurt you again.” She pushed away and looked at me very seriously. “Don’t say things like that unless you mean them. I couldn’t take that.” Now I was the one in danger of tears. “I just realized how very much I mean what I said. I suspect that I’ve been falling in love with you for a while. Tonight when you cried I passed the point of no return. However, there’s a big obstacle that could prevent any relationship between us — the difference in our ages.” Shannon looked at me. Members of the ships crew had disabled the slave link so that Everest could not override the controls and bring the ship back.The militry had carefully used its aircraft to plot a safe corridor across the continent and it had hoarded supplies and equipment on board the Warehouse. It is always easy to find individuals who disagree with the people in charge so the military had no trouble recruiting the dissatisfied to its side. It would be many years before the two sides would have contact again. Man-whore. All of these would be very accurate descriptions. I made it a goal in life to fuck as much as humanly possible and I’ve done rather well over the years. You might say that I take Wilt Chamberlain’s claim of sleeping with 10,000 women as a personal challenge. I’m rather picky about who I fuck and I certainly have a type. I prefer younger females myself. There is just something about the feel of a smooth, young, firm body hat simply cannot be faked with silicone, Botox or any other.
