Out." After a short time, Lieutenant Wesley reported seven figures moving toward the river from our lines. Many minutes passed with only silence after...that."Where are they?" the Major finally asked."They are approaching the embankment, sir," Lieutenant Wesley told him."Hand 5, Hand 6. Over." Hand 6, Hand 5. Go." Hand 5, Hand 6. Do you have any illumination rounds for those mortars? Over." Hand 6, Hand 5. Yes. We can have some in the air shortly. Be advised, however, that those are in short. I still had the towel wrapped around me."Jess, I can't..." Yes, you can. This will be your only chance. Toss it and what little hope there is for us dies with your refusal," I said.She nodded, resigned to do as I asked. "You said it yourself, Jess, you're boring in bed. I was afraid to tell you that; I know the male ego well enough by now."He came on to me in a weak moment. The first time was a year ago. So..." How often?" I said."Four other times," she said."Where?" I said."All of the other. You did fuck her while I was away, didn't you?' 'Oh my God! So her turning up an hour after you'd left was no co-incidence?' 'Not at all,' she grinned. 'I knew you thought she was attractive, so I told her I didn't think you'd need much persuading to bed her. Now, whenever I'm away, if I feel like screwing Jerry, I can do so with a clear conscience knowing you're doing the same to Helen.' I had to laugh. Talk about devious – and the beauty of it was we were no longer fooling around behind. “We only go as far as you want,” he said.“I want to, it’s just that, I, well, I meant to trim myself,” I could feel my cheeks burning.“Au naturel? Wonderful!” That damned smile again, that safe feeling again. “Then when you’ve done some topiary, I’ll have images of before and after.”Chuckling, he kissed me on the lips, looked at me again and gave my nipple a little tweak. This made me jump a little and as I did, he slipped his other hand past the waistband of my knickers. Another pause and then.
