I saw you two in a hotel room." She shrugged. "It's no skin off my nose what you do. I debated telling Dan Mitchell's wife, but she's pregnant, and I ...idn't want to upset her." She knows."The woman nodded. "I kind of figured she did. Don't ask me why, it's just a hunch I had. Anyway..." Where did you see us?"The woman shook her head. "See? You just confirmed my statement. You shouldn't do that." She sighed. "And where I saw you... you were in Houston. It didn't take many smarts to figure out. “I love it so much,” I answered truthfully. "I'll love it way more when your bra comes off." You'll have to wait patiently for that," she said teasingly.Xio turned around with her back to me and bent over with her ass shaking, and her fingers trailed up her silky smooth legs, all the way up under her little skirt.

Who battered her?”“We don’t know, but as she ran away from home, and doesn’t want to be returned there, and wants her location kept secret, you can take a guess.”“Her own family? Good grief!”“Yes. We have promised to keep her location a secret from everyone. This is not the first time she has been severely bruised. We thought her school would report it to the police, but it appears she was at St. Margaret’s girls school. You may have heard of it?”“St. Margaret’s? The dumping. My room seemed like heaven after that dank, dirty cell. The first thing I did was take a shower.I let the hot water stream down around me for long minutes, soaping up and washing off several times to clean off all the accumulated sweat and grime.To my surprise, none of the marks the crop had made were still really visible. There were a couple of very thin lines that you could see if you looked for them, but even they were fading and would soon be completely gone.I lay on my bed leafing through.
