I take it that you are now ready to give your child into my hand,’ he probed. ‘Naturally, cousin. However, be gentle with our daughter. A husband ...s a master, so be a kind master to our Miriam. She will serve you well,’ Rebekah urged him. ‘I promise you, cousins, that I will treat your daughter well. You need not worry on that point,’ he declared. When they smiled and formally handed Miriam over to his custody, Joseph returned the smile and led her to his house. They were both completely quiet. I also had noticed Jim's fatigue, especially when we were together at the "grass shack" in Makena."All right," I said. "Let's assume this is a temporary thing. Jim's simply exhausted. What do we do now?" I say we get the mother-fuckers that are going after us!" Mary answered.I looked at my co-wife. There was a look in her eyes that told me that she was not just kidding.Debbie looked concerned, but Mary spoke again. "They are following us. We are investigating them. There isn't very much more. Daddy bought my mother, Alyce Smythe. Mother was a debutante and trained to be the perfect hostess, manage the household staff required to run an estate, dress fashionably, produce offspring, and do all this without inconveniencing the Lord and Master of the manse. My mom looked like a very good investment because on top of everything, she was serious eye candy. Her parents forbade her doing anything so gauche, but Miss Alyce Smythe was nominated to be a Miss America contestant by her sorority. I stared at my girlfriend. I loved her very dearly, I loved her long red hair, her beautiful pale skin, her ample breasts. And I had never been unfaithful to her, for fear of her temper, which I had also grown to love. But most of all, I loved her wicked mind, and she had just suggested that her friend should kiss me. Her friend who I had never met, who...Who had planted her lips on mine, and was sliding her hands down my naked back. I had pulled my hips back, trying not to inflict this.
