Karen gushed over mychoices, and told me how she would love to see me in all of them,especially the green ball gown, but that she didn't feel right st...rtingthe dress-up portion of the evening just yet. I smiled at her and reachedover to feel her body through the silk wrap dress she was wearing.My hand slid down her chest, to the bow holding her dress together, andslowly untied it so that her dress fell open at the front. Underneath shewas wearing a black bustier with red lace trim, attached. Sophie was stunned by how incredible this felt, how each movement of his thumbs across her sensitized nipples resulted in sparks shooting downwards, causing a deep ache between her legs. It had never felt this good when she’d touched herself this way, and the tender way in which Daniel was caressing her could not have been more different to the painful, frightening groping she’d suffered at Mike’s hands. She pushed all thoughts of Mike from her mind and focused instead on the delightful. Then she was reaching out with her right hand, extending her bright pink lighter for him to grasp. His fingers covered far more of her hand than was necessary for the transaction, and she stepped back in confusion. Did he know? She watched his hands as he cupped his cigarette and quickly lit it. She swallowed hard again. Such nice, strong hands. And now, after all these nights of waiting and watching, his hands were close enough to touch her. She heard the rain start before she felt it. Large. He treated her like an equal and that made all the difference. Her mother never told her anything bad about him, but Leanna felt that a falling out was why Mama had left home. She suspected it may have had something to do with her father - whom she didn't remember. He had left when she was very young and Mama never spoke of him. Grandfather never spoke of her mother except on Mama's birthday, which they celebrated every year.Leanna stopped her musings and got dressed. She wore a white blouse.
