." Jack paused and looked at Emily, who smiled at him. "We both wanted to wait until you were here. That is, if you want to be here to, you know ... t... watch."Jack's words caught Brooke totally off guard. She looked back and forth from her husband to her daughter. She even looked at Ronni before speaking."What? Are you serious?" Yea, Mom. You seemed so upset ... and so suspicious of Daddy. But it's really not his fault and he really, really didn't have anything to do with this. And, I really do. "Excuse me."James was sitting on a cot, shirtless but at least in some pants.

You've been mostly delirious since I've been taking care of you and I don't know your name.''J J J e e se, ' he croaked.'Well, Jesse, you just lie back and enjoy. I never saw a man yet that didn't enjoy a good stroking and it fulfills my needs nicely. In fact, I don't know which turns me on more, stroking your equipment or rubbing your stump. That really gets me horny!'Jesse tensed. He could. The crowd always loved you.”Momma rolled her eyes. “They still do, Dan. You never understood and you never will. You are the same small-time bumpkin you were back then and you always will be. Grow up, Dan. You have to get what you can in this world. Grab it by the throat and never let go. Not you though.
