After popping them in my mouth, I lifted the glass of water and drank, greedily. Suddenly I was thirsty. I rang the bell. A few moments later, Cook ar...ived.“Could I have some more water, please?” I asked.“Certainly, Monsieur,” she replied. She reached out and took the glass from off the tray. My eyes strayed to her breasts, which moved saucily underneath her peasant blouse.“What is your name?” I asked. I supposed that if I was going to try to seduce her, I couldn’t keep calling her ‘Cook.’“My.

"Maybe if you don't want to tellher, we can show her why."Show her?! This was bad,. Chuck is welcoming and wants me to enjoy their camaraderie but I sensed that he wants more from me or probably he is testing me. Either way, I am game.
