You'll wonder how I know this. You and I have become the closest of friends over the years but there has been an aspect to our relationship completely...unknown to you. Elizabeth insisted you be kept unaware, until now. She has always shared your most intimate thoughts and secrets with me. And I never allowed her to deny me her sex."She paused giving him time to interrupt, but Bernard sat silently looking sadly at her with lively, sensitive eyes. Nothing he could do or say would make this easy. The man Holland assigned to serve a liaison and advisor acted really surprised, but the man could hardly keep from dancing with joy."Open mouthed at the audacity of the plan, Fred asked, "How did your guy know about Holland?" Oh, we found a couple survivors from Danny Sun's army about the same time that Holland saddled us with his man, Matt. They told us all about Holland's treachery," Sneak answered. His manner became more serious when discussing Holland.Frowning at the fact that he was not. “I’m sure you’ll ace your standardized tests and have great references and great grades.”“It’s more complicated than that now,” I replied. “Clarissa and I are absolutely going to the same medical school, and Sandy is going to join us.”“You and Clarissa? I thought you and Tasha were going to end up together, at least eventually. Or maybe you and Maggie.”“Clarissa is a lesbian,” I replied.“Oops. Well, then it’s not THAT!”“What happened to the guy you were seeing?”“Gerry? That was about going to. .” She slipped off the bed and took up the bag of sex toys. After rustling through it briefly, she found the item she wanted, a pair of leather cuffs with metal buckles and a very short connecting chain and clasp.She approached Zack with a sinister smile. “Turn around, arms behind your back.”Within moments she had each of his wrists tightly buckled into the cuffs and she connected the clasp from one cuff to the other. They were locked together behind his back and Zack could only move them apart.
