I headed up to the G-2 shop.This was officer country. There were so many field grade officers rushing here and there that I figured there was probably...none left outside of Quang Nam province. That was not really fair because I am certain they were all doing a vital job in the big picture.I had a Major with a totally bald skull give me the evil eye and ask me if I knew I was “out of uniform”. I politely inquired in which respect and he said I was wearing “unauthorized headgear”. My floppy. It was then that Alene heard the voices.“I think she’s awake,” came a familiar voice.“Go easy on her girls...” Another, different voice sounded.“How long?” The first voice asked.“Doesn’t matter, I think their awake,” the second voice retorted.Alene felt the mass of heat moving away from her body, “Careful, are you okay?” A new, soft voice asked.“I ... I...” Alene thought she recognized the speaker, “Water...”Even though the voice was broken Alene recognized it immediately, “Nadia?” she called. And Jamie, next time, Honey, wear pants with pockets,"she told him with a wink. "Really big pockets," she added, looking upand sticking her tongue out at me.She stood up and opened the reception room door for us. As we weregoing by her, I took her arm and gave her a peck on the cheek forbeing such a sweetheart."My proposal still goes, Kelly," I kidded her."I'll talk to George," she kidded me back, adding in a whisper, "Ithink he's always dreamed of a threesome." She paused and then. Releasing her mouth, letting fall her hair, he shoves her down onto the bed of roses. The thorns prick her pale skin, leaving little dots of red as bright as the rose petals.He tells her to lie still and begins to pull off his clothes. His flesh is nearly as pale as hers, and just as smooth. His slender body fits hers perfectly. Grabbing another silken cord he lashes one of her ankles firmly to the bedpost, leaving the other free. He kneels down beside her, careful to stay clear of the thorns,.
