As the summer passed, there was a level of tension that we'd never before experienced in our family. Tiffany stopped all social activity and spent mos... of her time in her room alone. Mark entirely avoided Tiffany and our house; he knew better than hang around. I believe it was at George's urging that Mark joined the Marines a couple months later. Tiffany headed off to Ohio State University in the fall of 1999 to study nursing.Several months after Tiffany left for college, Emily said she wasn't. It was going perfectly, not a sound from Beth; she did not move a muscle, except for her mouth opening to accept the gag. I took my time to fasten it behind her head nice and tight. I checked to make sure the straps where perfect, and that it was properly in her mouth before I grabbed her by both shoulders and forced her to the floor. Still there was no sign of a struggle from my captive which allowed me to be gentle with her. As I wedged her from behind against the dining room table, I took. With Uncle Rod and Aunt Doris both helping, we finished the cleaning by noon, and that left only a few maintenance chores for Uncle Rod and I to do. Just after lunch, Christie's sister, Mary Ann, came for a visit. She had gotten married a year earlier, and lived about forty-five miles away, so visited every couple of weeks or so. She and Christie spent some time together; they mysteriously announced that they were going down town for a malt. The next day, Christie seemed to be better, but. He is a friend I’ve fucked in the past but it was always at my house. It was never at his place. I gave him a “definitely” when he asked me to the party. I had to work that day and got to the party a little later than I would usually get to them.When I arrived, there were plenty of people there, most were already more than a little drunk. I found Steve in the kitchen and gave him a hug. He gave me a drink and told me to catch up to everyone else. With a beer in my hand, he showed me around his.
