. used to pinch my cheek and tell me how pretty I was ... and then had the nerve to tell me my choice for a husband was unacceptable. I say, is there ...nything to drink?"Over libations, she settled into the leather couch and patted the seat, "Come tell me the story of this yacht turned warship."Andie sat and commenced, like all good fairytales, with those famous words, "Once upon a time," and added, "I bought a sailboat..."The telling took several hours and a bottle of good old corn liquor .... That afternoon, Donna's husband screwed her. He mounted her, gave her a dozen strokes, shot his wad, and then rolled off her. And that was it. Donna lay there, unsatisfied and unfulfilled—and thinking. Compared to her fucker of the night before, her husband fell way short. His dick was small and he had given her a mere dozen strokes and had ejaculated a meager wad of cum in her. There's just no comparison, she thought.That evening, after her husband had gone to work, Donna thought more and more. Two of themhad kissed him and he had actually slapped one of them. First time I'veever hit anyone in my life, he thought. And I hurt my hand. He wantedto rub it a bit but his other hand was full with the bags of clothes hehad acquired at the Gap and rubbing it against his side or leg didn'tseem--didn't seem ladylike.While he puzzled about that, Andie and he headed toward the exit fromthe roof of Triangle Square. A little girl in a wheelchair and herfamily were waiting at the elevator, so Andie. He had put off going back until after he attended the school. Kostya was glad his family was in the compound on Harmony. No one had worked out how to get around Lee’s security on the portal on Earth, so he hoped they would remain safe.Very reluctantly, Kostya had headed to his meeting in Russia three days before. He had only gotten back to Harmony an hour before he had to come meet his countrymen with Lee and Sean since he was their ambassador.He was amused when he stepped onto the portal dais.
