.... Anna lies still remembering that day..... It had been an unseasonably warm day so she had dressed for comfort, a light cotton dress, no tights an... sandals, for some reason Anna had put her sheerest underwear on, half cup bra and a high cut thong which her boyfriend always told her there was no point in really wearing it hardly covered anything.

So John what are you going to do about it? I sat there took a gulp of my coffee set the mug down looked her in the eyes and said well Liza I'm going to show you how about that?She smiled and perked up in her seat oh really she responded, you mean right now? Why not unless you have other plans, oh no not at all, I am just a bit giddy is all.I took her hand and we got up from the table she followed me into the bedroom, oh this all happening so fast she stammered, want to back out I asked? oh no I.
