John kept tugging forward on the chain not paying attention to my pleadingsat all, I felt like a dog as I struggled against his inexorable pull. ?Plea...e, you can't do this.? I could feel the steel tighten around my neckas he forced me toward his office door. ?Please, people will see me.? Tears were streaking down my cheeks as I sobbed. ?Please.? John tugged me forward, I had to bunch my skirt to avoid stumblingas I crawled. ?No one will see you cunt, the office is empty.? I reared back and. ‘You’re just going to dump me off on the dock and sail away without a backward glance or a second thought! And to think I was actually beginning to believe that you cared for me. You’ve used me this entire time, haven’t you? Used me to satisfy your sick carnal cravings. You really are horrid! I’m glad we’ll be docking soon, so that I never have to lay eyes on you again!’ She burst into tears and collapsed onto the bed. ‘V, please…’ he said gently, touching her trembling shoulder. ‘Don’t touch. I know you didn’t have to do this, and it was a gesture of kindness. I’d knight you if we still did that sort of thing, if I thought you would stand still for it. But I’ll leave you in peace, with the eternal thanks of a happy old woman.”She rang off, and I looked at the phone. Sometimes the simplest of things can bring great joy.The Law of Unintended Consequences kicked in with a vengeance. Colin left me a message to check yesterday’s edition of the London Times. There, on the front page, was. There, nestled near the corner was a smallish platform bed, actually a full size mattress atop of a tall platform base for those who had posed for erotic remembrance in times gone by. She turned to me and her face angled up to look into my awe inspired eyes, radiant with her presence. Hers were aflame with a want I could easily understand and I lowered my face to once again kiss her, this time the heat flamed instantly in us both as we captured each other’s embrace that with faltering steps.
