I moved the bathroom and took care of the condom. I stuck my head into the room, “I’m going to shower, want to join me?”She nodded and slid int... the large space with me as the warm water cascaded over us. It was pretty low key, we did soap each other up, and it gave me a chance to really look her over. No doubt she was beautiful, her belly tighter than I would have expected. And her good looks didn’t change close up. Gwen kept her hair dry, but we got clean and dried each other off. She. Both were stout men, not overly tall, but heavily muscled. Two gratings had been set up to which they were tied. Healey would be the first, and Thomas announced the reason for the flogging, namely provoking Ballard with offensive language.Healey took the twelve lashes without a sound. The dozen hits were not enough to break his skin, and he refused to go below to see Dr. Fox when he was untied, claiming he was fit for duty. Obviously, he did not want to miss Ballard’s punishment.Ballard’s four. Since he had a contract for the building, Tiny had called the contractor to do the repairs to the building and to prepare it the same as he had on our place. We were not going to pave the full twenty acres though. The thought was to clean up the property and put in grass where it was not paved. We could always pave more of the property, as we needed it.Abe wanted to begin putting rebuilt equipment over there as soon as possible and we needed more space to store old equipment before he could. Barbara/Barbie acted as though she didn’t know me, aloof, just another plastic doll. I had betrayed her.On the other hand, my interaction with Martha showed me that I was still in tune with the dolls, I couldn’t hear her, but she heard me, she nodded in the affirmative.Kyle/Ken was ready to go back as soon as he realised that the pain was no longer there. I watched as the doll winked out. The plastic doll became just another plastic doll, but for one moment I had seen that magic spark of life.
