"How about you girls? Did you come up here for the coffee?" Nah, group trip. I don't do cold weather adventures," I said and they laughed."I bet she w...uld if Connor were here," Marie said, a little too loud to be accidental. All eyes swung to her, which had been her intention; she loved attention and didn't care how she got it. One day, it was going to get her slugged."Huh?" DJ asked."Oh, you didn't know? She asked him if he wanted to come. I guess she doesn't want to be without her new. It was a perfect view down her bathrobe. I knew Mandy and Monique had inherited their blonde hair and blue eyes from her, but it had never dawned on me what else began as hers...I waved and stepped away. I didn't know what was coming over me. When my Charm had first manifested, girls were coming onto me, now suddenly, I was seeing nothing but the lusty packaging of the women around me.

I am still floating on my back with her hands supporting me underneath. Her touching me and talking about erections is not doing anything to alleviate mine. “Oh,” she sounds. Dessert came as they basked in their glory. “I didn't think it would go this far.” “Neither did I.” “I think I love you.” They looked at each other, then around as they looked to see if anyone was watching them. No one was, the dinner chamber full of busy people moving and talking. “I love you too.” came the response. They talked, lingering over coffee as they discussed their united plan to reshape the parliament and make people talk about the power of small, united country. They finished.
