I didn't want to but something was coming overme with that drug and when we got to the hotel room she pulled her pantsdown and out sprung a god damn dick. I was so horny I didn't care and lowand behold my little slit formed and yea...you know the rest." Jack feltso ashamed of himself but he knew he had to lay it all out. Jay was hisonly chance.. "I grew up in Muskegon, Michigan. Even now, it's a very conservative place, and my family was part of it."In 1947, I was f******n years old. I lived with my mom and sister and my three brothers..my dad was gone in Italy, killed in the stupid war in a place nobody cared about.

" Are you happy?"She nodded.We ate and drank and enjoyed the warmth and smell of the place."Has that big man bothered you?" I asked. I worried up his name: "Tolliver?"She shook her head."Anybody else?"She shook her head again with a grin. "And I haven't swived a man since you left town either," she said. "Nary a one, for fun or profit." Well, then," I suggested, smiling back, "maybe it's time you did."We finished mopping our trenchers, emptied our tankards and adjourned to a comfortable room.
