Sleep took me soon after the flush of embarrassment subsided. ******* The next ten days were a haze of meetings at head office. The good news was I got a slap on the back for the job we did to get the office up and running ahead of schedule. The bad news was there would be times they would send me places. As we drew near, I heard him squawk in recognition, "Donaya!"I pulled out a mithral dagger and aimed at the meaty part of his upper arm while he was distracted.

At first I was embarrassed because the nurse never looked away, but then I knew she had watched to make sure nothing leaked out.This nurse was a medium aged sexy woman; she was a hot black lady.Looking her as she watched me, started to turn.
