I was constantly horny and I must have been giving off a scent because it seemed like men and boys were swarming around me. Guys at work had been hitt...ng on me for years, but before it had all been kind of good-natured. Then it seemed that they were getting more insistent, almost like sharks that smelled blood in the water. When the paperboy knocked on the door to collect the hunger in his eyes told me that he would take me on the floor just inside the door if I gave him half a chance. What's. “Sure, if you have a belt too.”I dug through my drawer and passed her both.“Um, can I use the shower?” she asked. “Or will it wake everyone up?”“I guess it’s all right. We shower at night pretty often, since it’s so humid.”She smiled, knowingly. “I’ll be right back.”Heather came close, and kissed me sweetly. I wanted to follow her to the bathroom, but decided that would be too forward.While she showered, I quickly changed, and then took the camera gear out so the bags could air out. The guitar. She took me onto her lap and puther arms around me, hugging me. She kissed me on the cheek and said, "Nomatter if you're Ralph or Jasmine, a boy or a girl, an adult or a child -it doesn't matter to me. You'll always be my kid. And I'll always loveyou. No matter what."I actually felt touched - probably largely due to the kumquat. I kissedher on the cheek and thanked her. Then Roger lifted me out of her lap andcarried me to my room. He put me down on my bed and was about to leave."You think she's. We sat in his shiny, black Audi and I put my rig in his glove compartment. He put his Sig Sauer in a special concealment slot between the gearshift and the center console. Neither of us commented on the weapons. This was the life I’d chosen. And this was the life he’d chosen.Matt drove like Daddy does, easily, smoothly. Not forcing things. He moved in and out of heavy traffic without stomping on the accelerator, slamming on the brakes. We were soon out of town, in Virginia, heading generally.
