Leung and Martin. They all made a difference."He leaned back in his chair as he finished. She looked down at his hand, holding hers tightly as he spok.... She continued to smile as he expressed his gratitude for the help of strangers."You are a very different man from the one who disappeared over a year ago."Tony leaned in and kissed her on the lips before leaving to return to work.She nursed a couple of glasses of wine as Tony labored in the kitchen. She watched as the serving girl brought meals. What is it going to mean? We said we'd talk..." It means that we still have one week," he cut me off. "I mean, I know you still have your family, too... but we still have some time." But then what?" I asked. "I leave, and then we're just... over?" I hated saying it out loud more than I hated thinking it."Is that how you want it to be?" Seth asked.I frowned, not really sure how this was supposed to work. "No... but I'm going home, and..." And, we'll keep in touch," Seth insisted, and then. The men then left me and I continued to be on my knees roped tight and lashed helplessly to the unyielding rings. I was overwhelmed,both physically and emotionally, with what had just happened to me. The pain was now less and my bare bottom was still burning with cruelty of it all. But now the pain seemed relatively unimportant, compared to the enormity and the comprehension that shook me to the core of my very being! The realization that I had been branded left me shuddering helplessly. Fredric wanted me to be his courtesan, we had over the phone conversation and I asked what he preferred he was here to get his deals correct, he was to bring renewable energy innovations here, quite interesting you must be thinking but these are the tricks and trades of being an escort we have to know our clients so that we provide the best service. High profile clients means less clients, specific business and more money I asked him to send me his recent picture, aah ! There he was sober, well.
