My property is about three acres and my pool is huge, so a party this size wasn't out of the ordinary. I was going to have a cook out, and most of the...other parents were supposed to attend, good thing, even marching band can get routy when the want to. All the usual guests arrived most of the parents just dropped their kids off but there were still seven other adults to chaperone with me. I went in the house to grab extra towels, and on my way back out my doorbell rang. It was Lindsey, he mom. You pick,” he said. You trust a mere woman to operate this?” I asked with feigned incredulity. Sure,” he smiled. I took the remote and pulled his arm over my shoulder, leaning further toward him as I flipped through the channels. Settling on a movie, I put the remote down and stretched across Nathan, turning my back so I was lying almost flat on my back with my head resting on the arm, facing the TV. My robe was still untied and open but it covered my breasts.We watched in silence, not even. "The front door opened, and a tall man in his sixties came out. "I thought I heard the Packard. Welcome, Miss Alyssia, and welcome, Mr. Alexander."As soon as Benton had taken their coats, he opened the doors to the central hall of the house. A truly breathtaking room. Huge winding stairs running up the walls, an elaborate lift made of glass and cast iron, and an enormous bay window with double doors, leading to a beautiful, secluded garden, running all the way down to the brink of Hudson. " That's a shame," he said, "I take it that you've been in business for a while?" Yes a long time. It's time to move on now. I bought the shop to have a way to support my daughter and myself after my husband died. He didn't leave any insurance and we hadn't been able to save any money. I have a business degree so I think that I might try the corporate world for a while. What about you? It must be fun traveling all over the world talking to Saudi princes and such." Well, I'm up here at the cabin.
