"I'm trying, but I keep forgetting." She shrugged. "Maybe you need some incentive." I suggested. We discussed various inducements, but none of them ap...ealed to her. Then in desperation I suggested a bet, which led us to discuss the stakes. Money was no good; we pooled all our resources. Sex was out, because there was no winner either way. We had dabbled in bondage, and both enjoyed it, but we both preferred the dominant role, so, confident that she couldn't win, I made the following. ‘Not unless you’re paying me. Fucking slave labour.’ Even Zack finally cracked a smile, and Darren leant against the desk beside him. There was even more chatter. Holy shit, these men could talk for days. I just wanted to get out and explore. The office phone rang which finally broke things up. Zack answered it and was quite curt with whoever was on the other end. He thudded it back to the receiver and Darren straightened like he was about to leave. ‘McMillan,’ he said to Zack, in a tone that. I wasn’t sure if he was trying to alert her that she was nearing a boundary (which wouldn’t have mattered) or just urging her to keep needling me.“And she has that sweet pool,” Rick noted. “They won’t have a waterfall at a hotel. I mean, you have two kids after all.”“Jesus Christ, will you people stop,” I said.“You asked for it,” Chris said, laughing at me.I rolled my eyes and shook my head. But I was relieved that my friends weren’t going to start treating me like I was something different. The woman's face was made up beautifully, she had a light foundation onher face, A pink blush lipstick on her lips and her eyebrows thin andarched.Then Anna's heart raced as the woman got closer... "Oh my God," shethought."Is it?" she continued to think.WIthout saying anything, she mouthed, "Jordan?"She thought as she stopped admiring the woman and quickly felt scared.Now as the woman was close enough, Anna saw that it was in fact Jordan.Only not as she had remembered him. He no longer had long.
