Then, business called me away for several months of travel. Up and down the east coast. Through the southern states. There lived a conspiracy against ...y ever returning to the Pacific Northwest. Until one day, early in summer, business would again send me to southern Oregon.I was concerned about seeing her. We had stayed in touch, but our businesses, too, conspired together to keep us apart. Because of the pressures, I had not called, and now several weeks had passed with no contact. I was not. “This is just our first major test.

This whole situation, as surreal as it was, was getting me incredibly horny. Disappointingly the hands pulled away, and I heard some rattling, and the sounds of water swishing. Soon another cascade of hot spring water poured over.
