She'd never talked about where she lived or who she lived with. I assumed the person I would be meeting was a roommate, who she was involved with or s...mething. I knew my job was to bow out gracefully. I told myself she was out of my class anyway. She was too young for me, too. I thought of a dozen reasons why it was a good thing she was letting me down gracefully. It never occurred to me that it might be family. I knew her father was gone, and she'd never mentioned a brother. If she'd said it. Her lip quivered and her head lulled forward, then back, the suspension and struggle taking its toll. She bore an expression mixed with pain and hope, believing perhaps she would soon be freed from the nightmare. If at first I thought the show was over and the monster would now lower his pretty victim to the floor, I quickly reconsidered. The man pulled a cast-iron stand across the floor and positioned it below the suspended woman. The stand alone meant nothing and the woman paid it little. Though her nipples still looked appealing and were firm and thick, the surrounding support structures had lost all of their perkiness and youthful buoyancy. Her tummy was still tight and flat and she held her exercise regiment and diet for that. Turning to the side, Stacey studied her bum and legs.Having had a nice apple-shaped bottom in her twenties, Stacey could see how the ravages of time had sucked in her ass cheeks, making her buttocks hard edged and angular. Her thighs still looked lean. We have to force these guys to respect the deep pass." OK, you're the captain," Chip said. I could see in his eyes he expected to get flak from the sidelines but was willing to follow me anyway.The play worked exactly as I anticipated. The cornerback and free safety both came up shallow as I stutter stepped like I was doing a hitch. Chip's pump convinced them. Both guys broke towards the fake while I sprinted down the field. Chip hit me twenty-five yards downfield. I motored into the end zone.
