I am going to bed."She moved to Scott to kiss him good night, and wrapped her arms around him. Hugging him tightly, she said, "Thanks for looking afte... things tonight. It was short notice, and I apologize. I love you." It was actually zero notice, but no one is counting, and besides, I'm the husband. It's what I do, and I love you too." He leaned down to kiss Nina tenderly, then whispered into her mouth, "I don't suppose... ?" Oh God, Scott. I would love to, but I am so out of it right now that. A gentle finger beneath her chin tipped her head up. ‘Do I have my lady’s permission?’ She nodded, so slightly, but he felt it. He turned her around until she faced the portal. He tugged at her laces, before easing the rose material from her shoulders. It pooled at her feet. Miriam held her breath as she stood in her soft white cotton shift. She was unaware of how the sunlight streamed in, outlining her willowy curves beneath the fine material. Large tanned hands stroked up and down her arms. "You're clear?" YEAH!" Brianna's cheer broke the joke, and the smiles spread rapidly as Marcus poured and Hope hugged Brianna and Elspeth and back to Brianna, sharing the happiness."That was just mean!" she pointed out, finally, drying her eyes gently."You were the one that didn't turn up." Tony pointed out. "We e-mailed you especially." When? I read them yesterday." Well... last night, admittedly." Shawna muttered, with a half-apologetic shrug. "How come you didn't read them this morning?" Oh,. When Master finished his dinner, he asked me if I need to relieve myself, and I nodded yes. Removing the handcuffs, he clipped the leash back on my collar, and then lead me to the back door. When he opened it, he exchanged my leash for a chain that was anchored to a stake in the ground, and told me to go do what I needed to do, not to touch the plug, and to let him know when I was ready to come back in. I hate to have to have to relieve myself outside, but at least tonight I was only being made.
