“Well, what about Candice?” She asked. “She seemed to have liked you well enough to have gone out with you, and have sex with you.”“Yeah, I ...ound out later that it was just a prank.” I told her. “She only started dating me on a dare, and then it evolved into a running joke.”“That just seems cruel. You are such a great guy. You're in shape, you're successful, you're thoughtful, and you give me the best sex that I've ever had.” She said. “Why would they do such a thing?”“Because they could.” I. “want?” she enquired. “come now my dear, don’t be coy. You must have noticed the special treatment, who else gets away without paying for so long?”Baying for time she pretended she did not know what he was on about, at the same time she recalled the day she had been in the yard hanging out the washing and had caught him undressing her with his lustful eyes, he had averted his eyes when she had locked eyes with him as if to pretend not to be looking at her.“Oh” she exclaimed “you mean I cant. The child has awakened. The Phoenix will give birth to the Second Phoenix. What the seeker has predicted will come to pass.'"The child has awakened?" Tanya asked, sleepy and confused. "What are you talking about?" What?" Jake asked. "Nobody said anything."Tanya shook her head."She gets voices in her head," her husband explained. "The voices keep her informed on what's occurring when she asks. It must have thought she was asking it something." The Praetor speaks to you?" Jake asked, astounded.. "Positive," I assured her, feeling giddy as I thought about watching her disrobe. "We have a seven foot fence covered with ivy and privacy bushes lining the whole thing. There is absolutely no line of sight from anywhere into the backyard." I smiled. "C'mon. I go out there naked all the time. Whenever it's nice and my parents aren't home. It's safe." Well..." She hesitated a moment more. "Okay. If you're sure it's safe." It is."With that she began to disrobe. She pulled her T-shirt over her.
