I arrived at Huntington High later that same day just as Mrs Willia into her Ford Excursion The Excursion was raised an extra foot or two, and she lookedher skirt Her skirt rested just above the knees, exactly where most skirts should be

I patted the fender of the Excursion "You could conquer a s"

"But could you take over a slanced down at my crotch just in case I hadn&039;t picked up on the innuendo

I said, "Only if they were susceptible to fits of hysterical laughter"

She reached out and touched e at the moment Green as hell Or maybe blue Hell, I didn&039;t know Her pupils were pinpricks I could see the fine lines around her eyes and lips She didn&039;t blink

"A big guy like you I&039;with me?"

"Oh, yes"

"Just as long as we&039;re clear on that point"

"Oh, we&039;re clear"

Her thigh was about face high It was muscular, smooth and tan She moved it towardto do ar butt," she said "Follow ar butt?

We drove south along PCH, through Newport Beach and into Laguna She drove quickly, darting in and out of traffic, her need to seeher to drive recklessly Or perhaps she had to pee Luckily the Excursion was big enough to follow froated community, then waited for ht iron doors swung open, and I followed her in, passing beautiful Mediterranean hoe door opened on ht and she pulled the Excursion all the way into what e I parked in the driveway and got out

The sun was hot ona loose Hawaiian shirt, jeans and black hiking boots, although I wasn&039;t planning on going for a hike any time soon

She stepped expertly down froh a doorway that led into her kitchen Once inside she tossed her keys on a counter near the phone and dropped her purse onto the seat of a dining chair I felt the need to toss so of my own, but decided to hold on to my wallet and keys The kitchen was paved with tan Spanish tile, and the cabinets were ie of discipline do well," I said

"Oh, they do Especially for those who do their job well"

"I i I take lightly, Mr Knighthorse"

"I see Does anyone oversee you, Mrs Williams?"

"Dana, please" She took hold of er roohts "The answer is no one oversees me Not really If I failed to do my duties the school board would consider a dee, jury and executioner at Huntington High"

"An interesting choice of words"

"Oh, I don&039;t lay a hand on them," she said

"But do you want to?"

"Always," she said without hesitation "Some of them need to be beaten into submission"

"Do you have any children?"

"No"

"Good"

She laughed "What would you like to drink?"

"Soda water is fine"

The room was very adult There was a zinc-topped bar in one corner, filled with all sorts of alcoholic delights Dana was there fixing us a couple of drinks Off to the right was a large cigar box sitting on a delicate end table Original artwork from local painters adorned the wall I walked over to one and studied it It was a stylized surfer hanging ten

She walked over with ain and led me to a leather couch in the middle of the room I sipped the soda water She had spiked it with scotch I didn&039;t say anything, just set it down on a coaster on the glass coffee table She atching me closely

"Do you like your drink?" she asked

"It&039;s very nice"

"I have never held the hand of so before Look at your hand, it dwarfs mine"

"You should see uess you could say I stepped into that one"

She giggled and drank deeply froot up and reen on the rocks Perhaps a Midori sour She ca I was not aroused

"How long have you been separated, Dana?"

"Does itht should your husband use this moment to show up and make amends"

"Oh, please You could handle him with one hand behind your back However, he won&039;t be co home anytime soon Does that put you at ease, sweetu have you been separated?" I asked "Sixar butt"

As she reached for the next button, I grabbed her hand and pulled it away "You&039;re not separated are you?"

A small sound escaped from her lips

"In fact, you are divorced, and have been froh, for the past seven years"

"So what do you want, a fucking reward?" When she spoke, she glanced at the ornate end table There was a s, then settled back on me She leaned over and drank more of her Midori sour

"Why did he divorce you?"

She shrugged "You&039;ll have to ask him that"

"I will But I want to knohy he divorced you when in fact he was the one cheating on you"
