Suck it,” Cookie told me.Her hand left the back of my head, and I felt the mattress dipping. It took a couple of slurps, but I managed to pull Mom�...�s clit between my lips and suck it. A twitch of her hips pulled it out a moment later, but I went straight back after it.A loud buzz and a burst of light from the side caused my eyes to snap toward where Cookie was spreading her legs. Mom let out a laugh when she saw what her friend was doing. Cookie had a dildo that was shining bright red, and. It was like he was going on in life without her, really it had been like that for years, but with him gone it had suddenly hit her full-force. But it wasn't fair to think like that, Giles had obligations and Buffy was strong enough to manage without him if need be, they all were, they all had their duties and they were responsible in his stead. Willow still felt like she had lost him, it had been so many years acting normal, perhaps he wasn't even considering her anymore, perhaps he was too. She ignored my comment. "You know, since you're going to be thereanyway, you might want to ask Jacqueline if she can join you at the mall,Marilyn said conversationally. "She's such a wonderful girl. I reallylike her. Why don't you invite her to tea or ice cream or something?"At the unexpected mention of Jacqueline's name, I jerked, fully awake,almost dropping my knife as I absently spread jam on a piece of toast.It clattered loudly onto my plate. Mother glared at me. Suddenly, intomy head. They disappeared behind the truck, and I rose to my feet in a crouch.Turning to Sharon, who was about ten feet past the back of the truck, I pointed at my eyes, lifted two fingers, and pointed past the truck to where the gunmen were moving. She nodded, and I took a breath. I worked the bolt on the rifle, realizing belatedly that I hadn’t done that, and moved across the road.Reaching the front of the truck, I spotted the two gunmen. Time slowed to a crawl, and I was able to see and hear.
