" Indeed you are," beamed Annette and spontaneously hugged her again."So how long has this romance been going on?" Far too long," said Livvie joining ...hem. "They met at our Christmas party six years ago and were a distinct item by spring but kept on denying it." That long?"We were just very good friends at that stage," said Annette.Helen looked at her discerningly and realised that this conversation could go off the rails."Is he a hockey player too?" she asked."Yes he is," answered Annette. He’s not on the phone, so just go on in.’ The secretary told her, adding in a hushed tone. ‘You’re going to like him!’ That was a switch, Maggie thought. The previous one always kept the young sales reps waiting in the reception area as some sort of power play. She walked to the open door and lightly tapped. ‘Maggie!’ He exclaimed. ‘It’s great to meet you, I’m Steve. Steve Meyers.’ And as he spoke, he moved from behind the desk and came over to shake her hand. His movement was smooth and fluid,. I got out of the door, and headed down the hall. As I passed each room I looked in to see if Sally was there. Not seeing her, I continued on. I don't know how long I looked but a nurse finally caught me. She started saying something about my needing to stay in bed. I don't remember much else that she said.She pushed me back to my room and had an orderly help her get me back into bed. I don't remember if they said anything or not at that point nor do I recall if I did. My only thought was that I. Taking a step back, her eyes regarded me from head to toe. ““I think we need to do something about those tan lines. A daily session of nude sunbathing should give you a nice golden glow and make you quite marketable,” she casually noted as her hands roamed my torso, gently massaging my stomach and pale breasts. Marketable?!? “Cute titties,” she said as she gently slapped them, seeming to understand that anything harder would result only in pain and not the erotic response she seemed to be.
