It had gotten to the point where I was concerned. She was 6 years younger than me, and I wanted her to find someone her own age. So we started talking...more, just the two of us, in an attempt to get her to stop carring for me. It failed, and I actually ended up falling for her. We dated on and off for 6 years, got engaged, picked out k**s names, looked into places to live together when she got out of high school, the whole thing. Bout a week before she graduated and a year before our planned. And about now... yes... your eyes just blurred for a moment, didn'tthey? Just your face melting and changing, but you can still go right onreading now that it's stopped.Oh. And THAT. You've noticed THAT, haven't you?Don't worry. See? - It actually feels a little bit pleasant, the way thatthe sensitive flesh pulls back into the body, inverting, shifting...It was already as soft as clay and now it's remodeling so nicely, isn'tit?You can feel it all, can't you? Maybe you don't fully understand. So was Tuesday. If she agreed, she'd be doing dishes for four days in a row."Okay. I'll do them Saturday and Monday. But just wait until you want something from me." Even as she said it, Ashley knew she was dreaming. When Tommy wanted something from her, he'd talk her out of it.But, even though she'd have to be Cinderella for the rest of the week, she was a princess that night. She was waiting at the door and went out immediately when Ryan honked."What's with the prim-and-proper look?" he asked. Peter had the audacity to ask for more. The thing of it was she got him more!He had discovered that the wife had been from a prominent German family whose lands and wealth had been threatened by the very diplomat she had married. It had been after the Great War when some of Germany had been used to remake Poland. Her arranged matrimony had secured her entire family's wealth and land. Yet she hated her husband. He had used her like a party favor. Anyone with power had gotten some action. Willy.
