I pulled off my shirt before Karen knew what was going on. In just seconds I was slipping out of my panties and running toward the beautiful cool wate.... "Come on! Nobody is around, it's fun!" I yelled. Karen stood on the shore with her arms crossed and constantly searched over her back and around us. She yelled something about this being illegal. I shouted back at her, "Listen, if you don't come in I'm going to swim away!" One of the things I loved about Karen was her desire to make me happy. I. 'Cobra' had done that, but she had been used ... as a sex-toy, as, effectively, a prostitute. She saw Professor Waters... "Call me Trudy, dear, will you? My title makes me feel old nowadays and I hate my full name." And felt comfortable with her almost immediately. Her sessions, of course, were far from comfortable, but every time she felt reluctance to open up about something, she remembered her promise to me, gritted her teeth and faced the monster head on. Trudy Waters, much later, told me. ‘You got that right.’ Raven stated. She freed herself from Jordan’s embrace and began tickling her partner on the tummy. Jordan shrieked, ‘Don’t! Please stop!!’ Between gales of laughter, she tried to escape Raven’s attack. Raven turned serious and looking down at Jordan, she said to her, ‘Jordan, I love you. I want to spend a lot more time with you. Can we do that, please?’ ‘I certainly want to sweetheart and I love you too.’ Raven was hoping Jordan would say something about what her future. ‘My sister came home from college,’ Jim said. ‘For the weekend?’ ‘For good.’ Mike shook his head. ‘What did your mother say?’ ‘What do you think? First my father leaves her and then my sister ditches college. She’s a wreck.’ Mike thought about Claire O’Neil, Jim’s mother. She was a pretty woman, his mother’s age, and she had always been nice to him. But she had always had problems with Ashley, Jim’s sister. Maybe he would stop by and talk to her, to see if she needed anything. He had known.
