“How can that happen?” “We’re going to take a trip. I’m going to visit my mother for a few days next month.” “Uh, that sounds dangerous ...o me. Your mother won’t like you bringing your lover with you.” “No, Drew. That’s just the excuse. But we’re going to escape for those few days; just you and me.” “We are?” “I’ve got it all planned. It’s a resort. We’ll swim and sunbathe and make love, and eat together and dance…” “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” I said to stop the rush of words. “What are you talking. Except you’re even more lovely than you usually are. So what is different?”“What’s different is that I appeared without having been called,” Susie replied. “I haven’t done this in an awfully long time. Now why do you suppose that is?” Again Karla just shook her head. “It’s an effort to give you a different point of view.

I mean, you and I have pretty much run the gamut of relationship emotions this weekend, haven't we?" Are. “Have I become that predictable?” asked Ed with a sigh.“Not really. It’s just that there are a lot of people who know you very well.”Ed looked over at the door for a second while he thought about it. In a quiet voice, he said, “Familiarity breeds contempt.”“Not in your case. Usually with you I find that familiarity leads to orgasm, but that is just me.” The large woman, with a wicked look on her face, was rubbing her nipple through the top of her dress even as she gave her reply.The gesture.
