Her hair was no longer wreathed in flames, but he could see the Mantle of Fire burning behind her eyes. “You wanted me to get over myself?”“No!�...� she pleaded and dropped to her knees before him. He was still seated, and this brought her head lower than his. “I thought that if you were in here, you might be able to understand better what I went through while spying on TanaVesta. I didn’t want to have that conversation out there where everyone else could hear.” Burning tears slipped from her eyes. I stopped to admire them and then lay down on top of her, burying her petite body under mine. I kissed her face, her neck, and her shoulders. I moved down, kissing the nape of her neck, down the face of her chest until I reached her soft nipples. I kissed and sucked them. Harder and harder I sucked, desperately trying to make her nipple erect. It would not respond. However, the attention that I was devoting was not in vain. She had closed her eyes and had a gentle smile on her face. I moved. "I can't see why five guys don't fall on you and rape you on the way to the car."Randi batted her long eyelashes. "Does that mean you think I'm attractive?" she asked coyly."I could eat you alive," Laura said softly, adding, If I weren't so tired, to herself."I think I could be persuaded to give you the chance," Randi smiled. "My boy friend's playing raquet ball until eight. Last time you told me you still had a few surprises in store for me." She winked.They walked together to the parking. ”“True. I really do appreciate you being there for me. Can I ask you something?”She smiled, “About kissing you?”“Yes. I mean, if you want to talk about it.”Angie took a deep breath and let it out, “I guess I was trying to show you how much I cared.”“You don’t have to do that for me to know you care.”“I, uhm, well, I just felt like I had to. Sorry I can’t explain it any better.”“It’s OK. Just remember I’m your friend and I’m grateful for you being my friend. We do need to get inside so you can.
