"Yes Sweeting, you can always find another. But not one who would reject you because you should be loved. You should know what love feels like." I alr...ady have, and she ripped my heart away." Her brown eyes were turning raw and out ran large frightened tears as she tried to hold her pride together.I hesitated, my mind twisted with anger against a woman who could be so cruel to such a delicate rose, then reached for her holding her against me. She held enough anger. I needed to provide her with. . I guess it was indecision, or maybe even concern about how I would react. I stopped toweling my hair and looked at her expectantly, forcing her to just say it."You're going to get chilled with your clothes that wet. How about..." she faded off."How about what?" I asked with a smile, enjoying seeing her discomfort."Well, no one's going to be back until tonight, so it's just us. How about..." How about what?" I repeated with just a touch of force.She took a deep breath, reached for the towel. She was suspended from school three or four times a year, and she was always in detention. This took up so much their parents time that neither one had time for Chavina.

I could tell him it did not work, but that wasn’t actually what he wanted. He wanted me to keep the Secret safe and to make him feel like I was free. I had realized that I could work with that to accomplish both.“Rob, Stephanie, say good night and go to your room. Do not listen to us. Do not leave the room until morning unless you have a medical emergency. Other than that I’d suggest you enjoy yourselves, but as you wish.”“Yes Mistress,” they both.
