Francine had approached me from behind as I was filling up my glass; I could feel her fingers in my hair.I wanted to invite her back in the shower wit... me, but wasn't sure she would and then, she summoned me with her beautiful smile back into the bathroom.We had faced each other, hungry and desirous, as the warm water ran down both our bodies. I loved the way the water moved from her hardened nipples.I wanted to drink it. I wanted it to pour in my mouth. I bent down to let the water flow in. Beautiful..." she marveled, her gaze still fixated on the chateau.I moved to stand behind her. I wrapped my arms around her clasping them just under her breasts. I put my chin on her soft shoulder.I whispered directly in her ear, "I'm glad you approve Maria."She shivered.I could see goose bumps appear on her neck, but that could have been from the cold...She was still so nonplussed with my house that she didn't notice my butler Jon approach with a lit torch.She jumped in my arms when he. I was still sitting there an hour later when my dad and mom came in. Before I had time to tell my folks what was going on, Jess' parents came in. The doctor returned and filled everyone in on the situation. I just sat and held her hand. He told us it would be sometime before we knew anything and suggested we get some food and some rest. Both sets of parents tried to get me to go eat and relax for awhile. My answer was the same to both of the families, I WAS NOT LEAVING JESS, PERIOD. If she woke. The wedding was scheduled for five in the evening. I had hired a string ensemble to provide the music.As I drove over an old steel beamed bridge, I could see the carcasses of mayflies that had come up from the river the night before. In some places the insects were several inches thick. I had learned that they would exist in the river until the day that their wings had formed. Then, one day, they would fly out of the river in swarms. They had one purpose to accomplish in the next several.
