He had risen before dawn when the constables had taken Marguerite to prepare her to stand trial. He first went to the chapel to pray, then stripped an... bathed ritually, purging his flesh and his soul. He first donned an undergarment of white linen; then, his squires began the time-consuming process of preparation.They dressed him in layers. First came a thick, heavy, padded cloth, covered with layers of leather and leather shoes. Over this, he put on a hauberk of chainmail that covered his. I had steered us over to it on the first day, but she wasn't in the spirit to strip. She's no prude and had gone topless on European beaches years ago. But she -- well both of us -- was a little shocked, not by the nudity, but by the number of naked white women hanging out -- and in some cases making out -- with black men -- sometimes with white men who we assumed were their husbands sitting nearby.However, by Tuesday afternoon we had gotten tired of the grandmothers and k**s on the clothing. I turned around and kissed him. As we kissed, I lazily played with his cock and balls. I find kissing after making love to be almost as intimate as the lovemaking itself. In some ways it's more intimate. You can't just lie there while kissing someone, you have to participate in it. We continued to kiss and I continued to fondle him. It was quiet, sensuous, romantic and above all, loving. When he was hard again, I rolled over so I could reach my end table. I got the tube of KY jelly and handed. I had to leave earlier than usual so that I could take Sharon home to change for work. Her house was just down the street from the office and she normally walked to work, but this morning she rode with me.I took Dexter with me on the first two service calls. Carl Jr. had convinced Bernice's brother-in-law to be his helper with delivery and Dexter was now working with me full time. Sharon still had his father's old service truck and I sent Dex out with his first solo that afternoon.It's a good.
