I hadn't been home since before the Belfast deployment, and I hadn't had a shag since the night of leaving Annalise. To say I was horny and randy woul... be an understatement. I was ready to jump on a passing frog, if it had stopped hopping for long enough.I wasn't holding hopes of any sexual shenanigans when I went home to see Miriam. Although we now were back in contact it would be some time yet, going on past experiences, before we attempted any groin to groin combat.When I arrived at her. "You've not touched it, have you?" The Englishman asked."Of course not, we had your instructions. We would not want to trigger the curse." The Englishman reached to open the box, but the other man stopped him. "Where's the reward I was promised?" I promise you shall have your reward, but for now, look at me. I am unarmed. I could not possibly steal this from under you, now could I? I merely wish to admire my prize." Very well, but do not try anything. I do not trust you foreigners. I do not see. It was ten days later that Calvin called me."How's married life, Ruel?" he asked brightly."Terrific, Calvin, but then, we had some practice beforehand." I have some news for you. Rolland Biggs has been arrested and indicted with charges for bribery, possession of stolen property, possession of illegal liquor, possession of gambling equipment, money laundering, interference with the postal service, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and intimidation. How's that for a full house?" Wow. What the hell. . the whole damn family called me Too.'Not so, Gwen.''Mother. One more word... ''Whatcha gonna do, Gwen?'I exploded out of my seat, flew across the room and slapped my mothers knuckles with an ink pen ruler. I swear my feet never touched the floor. I was seated in my chair before mom reacted. She had a shocked expression on her face as she grabbed her injured hand ... the blood dripped.For those of you who don't recall ... because you're young enough for ballpoints ... exactly what an ink pen.
