She’s done. She had no finals.”“How did she arrange that?” he asked.“I dunno but it does make for a nice long break for her. Do you need to ...se the bathroom?”“I’m good.”“Guys have it so easy...” Valerie took her robe from a hook on the back of her door and picked up a cosmetics pouch. “Back in a bit.”Carter selected a playlist on his phone and set it in the speaker dock. He adjusted the volume to a comfortable level.Valerie returned to her bedroom wearing the robe and carrying her street. He came back behind her and held her close, taking in as much of her scent as he could without being noticed. She shot more without pause and began letting her guard down with each shot until her hips began to move more with the recoil.

Smart old bugger."They rode on for a while in exhausted silence, seeking the shade at the road's edges wherever possible and then turned east so the sun was at their backs, baking their shirts dry. The horses' heads bobbed as. . you ... you took advantage of me."She spun around, when she made it all the way around I caught her hand an inch away from my cheek ... then I had to block a crotch kick, a knee, another slap ... and tears.I do very well against violence to my person. I used to do well with violence towards particular males ... I suck at tears. A crying woman or a snuffling child leaves me ... not defenseless ... in "fix it mode". I can help.So, I wrapped her up in my arms and let her cry. Of course, Simone.
