"From dad." she said softly."From Nick!? Oh Jesus Calley!" I groaned.I suddenly realized that Calley was nude against me. It was too much all at once ...nd I pushed her away."Put your clothes on!" I snapped at her.Calley looked crushed. She slowly reached out and grabbed the T-shirt I had given her to wear the night before."Don't you want to fuck me?" she asked, timidly.I took a deep breath in preparation of my explosion, but instead I held it. Her question had shot right through my heart. I. Lexi was clearly amused by the exchange. Theirs was a strangerelationship. I knew she was only with him because of his wealth andthe protection he could provide her, but he seemed oblivious to thatfact.

He lavished gifts on her, which she regardedas no more than her due as a beautiful woman, including fabulousevening dresses such as the one she was wearing now. It showed off hercleavage of course - Lexi. He also bought a wig that matched her hair style and color. I will admit when I saw him look like Nicole, he looked her twin sister. It also hurt him. I will tell that later.Nicole had talked to her mom. She told me that Howie was more distant lately. I had told her it was pre wedding jitters. I was wrong, but that no longer matters. Larry had made the last fitting for Nicole's gown. Nicole was still the dark about it until I dropped her off at the dress shop after work. Nicole put on her gown. Over breakfast we talked about the tour of the Estancia we were taking for our morning ride. Raul and Rafael would break off after the tour and spend some time in the village with the Padre who’d volunteered to show them around and introduce them to some of the villagers. Cristina broke in at that point and told us that numerous crates had been delivered from Santa Fe over the last few weeks and she needed to know what we wanted done with them. Anna smiled and said it looked like we now had.
