I bowed to the inevitable.Hailey had her arm around my back by the bottom of the steps. I'd already accepted that Hailey had a crush on me. Now I was ...eginning to think it wasn't a cute schoolgirl crush but more like out-and-out lust. Hailey reinforced the lesson as her hand moved off my back and squeezed my butt.I'd always thought I was pretty sexual. I mean, I made love to Tami in the seventh grade. Now I had a harem that Hugh Hefner would die for. But I was starting to wonder if my two. I was shocked as I reallyexpected her usual sense of propriety to prevail. Somehow she had lost herinhibitions. Had she had lied when she told me it was still her mind in mybody?She sat next to me and gave me a hug. "Just remember this is your body andthat I am your mother. We've got to work together." That's easy for you to say. I'm the one who changed sex and got older. Youjust got younger! I saw you feeling up my body." And you weren't doing the same?"Her insinuation made me angry but I knew. We had saved the soldier from being killed, but maybe only fornow. It was true he did cause us some hard times and pain, but we couldn't justcondemn him to a death by those monsters. That would be inhumane even for usdumb kids. The simple fact was we saved him this time, but now he's on hisown. He was too much of a risk for us to try to take with is again. He triedto kill Adam once and almost did kill Gavin when he shot him. The ship thenunder Adrien's control continued on over the. "I like games... Alan hates 'em, but he knows that Sally is a great cook, so he condescended."Hmmm, they must not have been told about the 'adult' part, thought Melba and David simultaneously.As the Dow's followed the Jones' up the front steps, David's eyes were drawn to Joyce's shapely backside.I wouldn't kick that out of bed for eating crackers, he laughed to himself. I take back what I thought. Maybe she would fit better at the... Episcopal Church, instead of the Baptist!David grinned at.
