The tea was still too hot to drink.My mother looked over at me. "Good grief, you really did have a lot to drink, didn't you?" What do you mean?" Befor... this morning, when was the last time you kissed your poor old mum?" Last night." No, I kissed you last night: a peck on the cheek. When was the last time you gave me a kiss?" I don't know," I admitted. "Christmas, probably." And it's now June," she said."That sounds really bad," I said. It did sound bad. She was teasing and I knew it, but even. She felt incredible. Her whole body felt tired and sore, but she also felt satisfied and fulfilled. She looked over at Afzal lying next to her on the bed and her eyes ran over his incredible body. This hunk could make her feel more like a woman then her rich husband. Life wasn't fair.Meera remembered why she had fucked him in the first place and she tried not to panic as she looked around for the card. It was where he had left it, on the floor by the bed, and she grabbed it and shoved it under. "She giggled and nodded. "Mmm hmm. It was just so good, though."With her standing so close, the newfound confidence he'd acquired since meeting Jill almost made him lean in for a kiss. He certainly wanted to, but second-guesses kept him from following through. In order to break what was close to becoming an uncomfortable silence, he said, "So, I guess I'll see you in class tomorrow."Denise bit her lower lip for a moment and said, "Actually, could you take notes for me? I think I'm going to go. Her eyes hardened with determination then, and she said, "That's why I must reach Kol as quickly as possible." Your vision?"She nodded. "The goddess Rubiss spoke to me in my dreams. The dark one imprisoned her when he sealed away the ball of light. She has mustered her power until I was ready. I must free her. Without the power she gives to goodly magic, I fear even the blood of Erdrick may not be enough to see Matusen to victory."This wasn't part of the game, I thought. Rubiss wasn't even in.
