Quickly, too quickly, my head started to spin. “Oh … oh,” I said, resting my hands on my tummy and closing my eyes to keep from peeking too soon... Once I felt the surge of passion brewing within me simmer, I turned around. I kissed Lane again, using my tongue and teeth on him like I never have before. From the side pocket of the recliner, I reached for the remote. I activated the massage feature in the chair, and giggled. “Mmm, that feels so good.” I stood and straddled Lane. My dripping wet. Back home wanted to know how it went. “She is very nice” I said “we had a drink or two and talked”. I didn’t mention about the rest of it. Mum would have fainted.Saturday morning I told mum that I might have a part-time job helping a client of the company who had a dog breeding operation. “The usual helper on Saturdays had resigned” I said. “That’s nice dear” she said “just don’t get bitten. Dogs can be unpredictable”. I told her not to worry. The guy said his dogs are very well trained. I. Every so often as we all talked, they would suddenly catch each other's eyes, stop talking, just stare at each other for long entranced moments, or put their arms around each other and kiss, bodies pressed together on the couch, hands caressing each other through their clothes. We aren't a very inhibited bunch.Pat slid off her chair and sat beside me on the rug. I put an arm around her, and we cuddled together. She could tell I was admiring Rachel and Ariana, and she grinned at me."What is it. .. your very life and breath is a terrible insult to me...”The voice droned on for a long time, but I could tell you if a long time was a second, or a year. My heart was surprisingly calm as the invisible entity behind the voice continued to list my sins and how grievously they wounded him. For some unknown reason I knew I was not dying that night. The voice wanted to frighten me – terrify me – but failed to raise my blood pressure, or my heart rate.The place ... I was in The Place. That much I.
