"It's alright Kathy, everything is going to be okay, trustme."Ours eyes met and I felt compassion for her. It felt likewe just finally understood one ...nother. I leaned in closeand kissed her softly on the lips. It took her just alittle before she responded. It has been so long since wehad kissed like that. We had found our love again, at leastthat what it seemed."Nancy, please don't have Trevor make me ugly. I don't wanthim to do that to me. You have to help me please."I looked deep in her. “Mistress, may I say something?” “Spit it out you slut. If it’s a redundant question or random statement…” I am your worthless fuck toy.

That one is the best, I think. "I wish I could kiss it and make it better." You could," I said. I smiled again.So he did.
