But how? A puppy dog. Or try and hold on to being me..... No one helped me by speaking. There was not even an order to disobey. That Mike....! "Am I ...n stage, darling?" I inquired sweetly.Mike simply pointed with the cane to where Dorinda had received her strokes.So I was to be caned like a schoolgirl in front of all! It was a beginning. No worse than I had feared. I shrugged and walked out for my initiation. Always there is a twist. I stood and looked at my master. I did not want to bend.. It was Tammy that came and woke me up for dinner. She was sitting on the bed when I opened my eyes. "It's time for you to come down and eat." Okay, can you hand me my clothes." Oh, I'll help you get dressed." Tammy I'm working through what you told me." You agreed to be mated up with Jana and Shana. You know I want that too." She lowered her eyes."Tammy, Look at me. Since you told me what you wanted, I have been through a lot. I am not saying no but given all that has happened, I am asking for. Emily opened her eyes and smiled. She stroked my cheek gently."What got into you, Daniel?"Without thinking my eyes moved to the photo of twenty-year-old me. Emily looked as well.She smiled a tender smile again, and frowned as I slipped out of her. I rolled to her side."Feeling old, Daniel?"I didn't answer. Emily pulled my head to her and kissed me on the lips."Is that what's bothering you?"I shook my head, but I couldn't find words to answer her."I love you, Daniel." She hugged me tight. "I. "Then she knows I'll be cramming for finals next weekend," I mused."You know my sister. I doubt that she gave it a thought." Damn!" I'm sorry, Sammy," Jeannie said, sounding convincing. Right then I wanted to hug her for the concern she was showing me."Thanks, Jeannie," I said, letting a falling domino enter my mind as we ended the call. It was a four; three dots on one end and one on the other. What the hell?Alice's letter was thin, feeling about the same weight as Cindy's.Dear Sammy,I hate to.
