For awhile they, were together as one. Trystyn felt as if he had found hisreson de etre'.However, just as chance draws two comptatible souls together... it will alsotest the strength and purity of that bond by attempting to tear themasunder. Thus, one day chance came for Trystyn and Ariel.Instead of reaching for Ariel, Trystyn looked away for but one second indoubt. Then she was gone.Trystyn never felt such pain, or such despair, in all of his life. And so, heswore to the Heavens above, and. Jack's needs were considered inconsequential.Jack stood and in wonderment said, "What about me?"Rose stuck her head from under the covers and pointed to the bathroom,"Jack, how many times do we need to go over this issue. Be a good boy,take your makeup off and then hop into a cold shower. I'm tired."A frustrated Jack scrambled into bed that night.As the days passed, Rose created a pavlovian response in Jack. He couldnever pass a mirror without checking his face. At home, he could go nomore. * * * * * * * * * * Once I got home and hand all the groceries put away I retreated to the bedroom, where I got out of my clothes and got ready for a nice hot shower. The outing had gotten me quite sweaty and I wanted to be fresh when Robert arrived. I got the water as hot as I could stand it and then went out to the storage room and brought in a plastic lawn chair I'd brought with me. I place it in the middle. I feel his gaze evaluating me, seeing right through the party dress and the careful makeup and the push-up bra. His eyes linger on my ample bust and then he pokes my belly through my dress-- yeah I could stand to lose a few pounds--He meets my eye again, that half-smile on his lips. The music is loud and he steps in close, his hand on my hip, his breath whispering in my ear."I don't think it would be a lucrative profession for you."I smile, lean in towards his ear. He steps in closer to hear me.
