I had entered puberty then and my sexual apparatus had started to mature and I was beginning to sprout pubic hairs. I was also having a terrible time ...ith unexpected and unbidden erections and was starting to look at girls in a new way.Up the street a few houses from us lived a girl named Jill who was about a year younger than I. Jill was very pretty and petite with milk white skin, china blue eyes and dark brown hair that fell to her shoulders in fluffy curls. She was also a very nice girl. “Thank you, please make yourself comfortable.” Nicole entered the small room. There were a few lockers in there, she used the key to open hers. Inside there were two freshly washed towel bathrobes, one short and one long. She chose the shorter one. She undressed and put on her bikini; her mind was a complete blur. Here she was, in a luxury spa, being catered on hand and foot. She wondered about the massage and how much of a full body massage was a full body.She put the robe on, locked her. I did make sure that all of my people knew of the foolish mistake, and Mentor and I shared a laugh over it when I talked to him that night. The only thing that bothered me about the approach of the Knights Templar was that they were bringing mostly infantry and artillery with them. There was a token detachment of cavalry, but that was only 20 men. I wasn’t sure what they had in mind for those people to do. Maybe they were to be messengers to and from Rome.Okay, now that artillery was coming. There was a small kitchen area with a pot-bellied stove and a tablenearby. Beyond that was a tiny bathroom with a shower and a bedroom areaat the far end of the room. There was only one small window in thebedroom, but an overhead light made up for the lack of natural light.I could tell that the apartment had been recently cleaned and the faintodor of Pine-Sol hung in the air. There was a neat stack of newly cutfirewood near the stove. Despite his reluctance to host strangers, Tomhad.
