Des had a big appetite but he wasn’t adventurous.” She placed a hand on my thigh and looked into my eyes. I put a hand on her leg and felt the war..., soft skin of her pale flesh.Vera’s body and mind were calling me to kiss her and my body was responding, whether I liked it or not. But what harm could it do? We were both adults and this was a private place. I leaned down and kissed her and she kissed me back, heartily. I slid my hand up into her skirt and she slid hers up to my balls.“Ooh!” she. "Well, it's not good enough, is it?" I beg your pardon?!" The fact that the entire Mage Guild, even with half their time taken up with stupid political games, cannot solve this riddle means either we do not have all the information we need, or new thinking is required."

"You didn't hear me, Master Q'ixanna. I. " It was as if I had turned off a switch. We had been sitting together on the edge of the bed, looking at the phone, but now, she toppled over backwards, out cold, a picture of naked innocence. From what she had told me, she must have been doing this five or six times a day, so I assumed that she'd go under from force of habit. As she lay on her back, she suddenly shivered all over, and a dreamy little smile curved the corners of her mouth."Can you hear me, Kendra?" I asked gently."Yes,. "The only thing I can say to you is that you won't find me in anyone else. You have to look for good qualities in the men you meet and find one that will treat you good and make you an equal partner in his life. You need to have some common ground. Don't ever compare that man to me. He needs to be his own man and be able to make his own way through life, his way. I love you very much Allison, but don't let me mess up any happiness that you find....by trying to compare him to me. It will.
