I don't have any choice."Arter clapped a hand on his shoulder, "I knew many a brave human long ago. I'm glad to see that bravery hasn't gone extinct i... your line."Carl smiled at Arter then, taking what comfort he could from the praise.Arter tuned away and began shouting instructions to the other centaurs then. Carl just looked on, feeling helpless. Quickly, Arter was brought a shallow dish and a hand sickle, both looking like they were made of bronze. Arter crouched next to Reatha and began. .yes, I did let it out when I went to the ladies room before we left theclub...it was getting uncomfortable," I responded."Oh good! We will have to compare techniques sometime. Maybe I can help youwith your problem being uncomfortable."We kissed again, but not with as much necessity."Would you like some wine?" I asked as I led her to the living room. "Thehouse tour is over for now."She said a red wine would be nice and I poured us each a pinot noir as shesituated herself on the sofa. It was. For a while I thought I might go to jail, but the DA decided not to prosecute. The one I shot had a long record of burglary and even armed robbery and the fact that he did cut my arm made the case one of self defense. “I thought at the time that I might need a guard dog. Dogs are notoriously light sleepers and they have sensational hearing. I think a barking dog would probably scare most burglars away, besides you could always call the dog back. You can’t do that with a bullet. I’d like. Lesbians weren't as common in Spokane as they were in Seattle and apparently weren't tolerated as well either."You don't say?" I said, feigning shock. "You think she might make a pass at my partner?"The nurse shrugged in an all-knowing way. "She might. I certainly wouldn't put it past her. I've heard she's a shameless flirt with other women." She shook her head. "Disgusting. You might want to pull your partner away from there before something embarrassing happens."Now it was no secret that.
