"Drop the formality, Christopher," she said. "Rosie. Wow! You're a whopper! Tina, is he fierce as well?" No," said Tina. "He's gentle, considerate and...kind although he does try and get a bit bossy on occasions and has once or twice threatened to smack my bottom." Probably fully deserved," laughed Rosie. "Please, Christopher, would you bend down so that I can give you a welcoming kiss."He did so, expecting one on the cheek but instead received a chaste but warm one on his lips."Come on in and. As she got over the bridge, suddenly out of nowhere she felt a gloved hand on her mouth, another around her waist and a feeling of falling backwards as she landed dress in the air, losing a shoe in the process under the bridge.It was dark and she couldn’t get her bearings, she felt the bile rise in her throat at the taste of the leather as she tried to cry out, the noise was muffled and nothing could be heard, tears pricked at her eyes and she could hear her assailant breathing heavily in her. Alice knew from an aside with Elsa that Marcia had been one of Elsa and Mark’s bodyguards until he enticed her to become part of his intimate circle of friends, with an emphasis on the intimacy. She still worried many of the security issues for Mark, and Alice thought that she might be checking out the Circle facilities and people just to reassure herself that her lover and boss was in good hands when he visited.A quick glance and one wouldn’t think Marcia any kind of threat, but a closer look. Through thewindow I could see a few cars parking at the house across the road,several women all dressed up would enter. The house belonged to an olderlady in her 40s, my mom didn't like her and referred to her as theskanky whore. They had a few arguments over neighbourhood issues.Over the next few days I noticed these gatherings and would eagerlywatch these sexy looking women arrive. That's when I decided I needed acloser look. I couldn't peep through the front windows as they were tooexposed.
