We let a Herald approach our door and knock more decorously than previously. Just in case of treachery that I wouldn’t put past Duke Marno, I showed...up on the right-hand balcony to answer the Herald’s announcement. “People of the People’s Army, listen to my plea. Abandon this foolish show of defiance and be welcomed back into the fold. Otherwise, your only choice is death! This is your only chance to surrender.“Our sovereign Duke Marno has graciously agreed to give you your lives if you swear. “Not yet.”“Must we be naked too,” asked Joan.“Not if you don’t want to. I would prefer that you do,” I said, trying to find the right words. “Why can the men have all the fun and we have to act like prim and proper housewives?”“In that case, when in Rome…,” said Joan and started to remove her conservative summer dress. To my utter surprise, she didn’t have any underwear on. The naked Joan walked up to me and kissed me on my lips. “Thank you for doing this.”“If she can do it, I will do it as. “Asmodeus,” I beg, speaking into his arm, “forgive me.”I ask this not because I’m afraid of him but because I am genuinely mortified that I hurt him and worse, that I forgot him, if only for a moment.He stops stroking my hair and slips his arm under my body. Shifting his other arm lower, he hooks it behind my knees and pulls me toward him, cradling me like a baby. I lay my head in his chest, filled with shame, my tears leaking onto his bare torso. He releases my legs but brings his own thigh up. Finally, he slowed down, allowing her legs to fall from his shoulders. He kissed her open mouth as she gasped for air, still sliding in and out of her at a calm, steady pace. She was in heaven. Orgasm after orgasm he gave her that day, and he still felt so wonderful inside her! After a few moments of making love slowly, Keenum pulled his long organ out of her vagina. He kissed her softly on the mouth.“Get on your stomach.” he whispered. Ashley’s heart dropped. She was more than a little.
