You know you have chores to do when you get home. This is perfectand you had better get used to your pretty new clothes, you will bewearing them a lot from now on.You can wear them home,?This brought smiles to the three women, but tears from the new maid.Joyce was the first to speak. ?Maam, I. I could faintly hear that she was, perhaps, meditating, though the form was unfamiliar to me. I closed my eyes too, though the beauty of the cove matched her own and it seemed wrong to shut it out, to exclude it, to ignore it.I simply sat there nonetheless, with the waves washing against me, so warm, so intimate.

My fingers met. ” “I won’t tell if you won’t,” I said, and leaned in again to kiss her. This time, she let the kiss linger. I could sense her heart wanting to give in, but her brain telling her not to. When I opened my mouth and licked at her lips, she pushed me away again. “Lauren,” she said, but didn’t finish her sentence. She was laying back against the armrest of the couch, I was on top of her, and we were tongue kissing. I felt her hands on my back, softly at first, but as the room got hotter, more.
