Lisa was all concern. She hugged her young friend. "Was it that bad?" Worse!" Shannon burst into tears.Instinctively Lisa held her teenage friend clos...r and stroked her fine blond hair. "Shhhh! Its over, it will get better. Get rid of it - tell me what happened!"Gulping and sobbing Shannon related her nightmare of a night to her friend.Lisa's beautiful face grew white. "Fuck!

Lois shivered as her young lover’s eyes caressed her. She couldn’t get over the effect he had on her.

He was a murderer, a kidnapper, and a rapist. Though he hadn’t paid out the money to have her killed.
