Lady Delilah removed my bracers from my forearms.“A king's daught...r has the blood of kings.” Lady Delilah undid my sword belt from which my metal loincloth hung. She cradled my weapon with care as she set it down.I took in a deep breath. “I guess so. Either way, I will complete my Quest and win glory for our Order.”“Yes, you will,” breathed Lady Delilah. She knelt before me and undid the straps on my greaves,. My fuckers yes, but never my lovers. I don't know if you even noticed, but every one of them was like you. Same hair color, same eye color, same height and weight. I picked them solely because they were close enough to you in appearance so the kids would resemble you.

"I ain't never scraped a barrel low enough to find somethin' like you attractive."Tom was my buddy in the reserves. When we were together it was gay jokes, 24x7.
