Ashley brought up the subject of the cruise. As she spoke, Clint carefully studied Susan McDowell. It was no wonder that Ashley was so pretty. Like mo...her, like daughter. Her figure was slim like Ashley, maybe ten pounds heavier. He watched as she absorbed what Ashley was telling her. When Ashley finished, she turned to Clint, with a warm smile that eased any doubts, in his mind, as to what he was going to say next. Susan, “Clint, Ashley is my whole life, now. She is twenty-three. I am scared. The forest mind did react to new stimulus, both fair and foul.I suppose that I should have left a note describing what I proposed, but I didn't. I rinsed out the bottle I had been given in the rivulet, adding a sample of the original spore culture to its waters. Then I stripped and had a nice soak in the sun-warmed water. I figured that adding my scent to the mix might cause a reaction, but I didn't know what would happen. I rose, dressed and left, assuming that the forest mind would take a. I guess I'm just paranoid. Whenever I thought I crossed the line into that special place where spirits meld as one forever, I lost out. Truthfully, I can tell you, I keep waiting for this bubble to burst." Joe admitted.Selena got a strange look on her face and then looked away from Joe. She got up and went to the bathroom and closed the door, leaving Joe to wonder how stupid he was to make his comment.After about 10 minutes the door opened and Selena came out, still naked, still so beautiful.. I saw that man again many times, and some of them were with my father, as it turned out, he was his friend, then I understood. When I saw him he looked gorgeous in his leathers, like a rebel, and all my friends wanted to have him. He was 25 or 26, a bit like James Dean, and we would all fall about pretending to be lovers, he would be the Arab Sheik, and us six girls would be his Harem Girls, for him to pick and fuck for the night. He lived opposite our house and I would see him messing about.
