"If you would not mind giving her the full tour Jon, I fear it will be dawn soon, and I must be retiring to my chambers."Jon bowed low, "but of course...sir, I'll see the young Mademoiselle around the grounds. Should I send her to your chambers, or prepare a room for her?"I glanced at the gorgeous half breed. "Let her decide her own sleeping arrangements." I said.Jon nodded, "very good sir."I opened my arms for my little Aethling. "Come give me a kiss before bed."Her eyes opened wide, and then. He massaged my sensitive mounds and excited nipples until his shirt was unbutton and then he pulled it off and his shirt joined mine on the floor. Ryan pushed me backwards until I was prone. His mouth attacked my breasts, kissing and sucking. He worked over my stiffened nipples, sucking one hard into his mouth and tonguing it, then switching to the other. It was wonderful! Everywhere he touched me I tingled and seemed warmer, more energized somehow. I reached down between us and found his belt.

The ribcage protects body parts that you actually need to live,” he said with a pointed and penetrating look.He held that look, and I knew it was in my best interest to cave—for now.“Okay, okay ... I get it.”“I’ll see you again Monday,” he said and left me to contemplate my injuries.If he was serious about six weeks, then we were so dead. We would have to survive the first two games in the state playoffs without any contribution from me. If we got a bad draw, we could easily be done.The promise.
