She put her hand over his ers were in noring her hand The jerk "As was ue"

The memory of the way she’d shattered the last ti back into her groin "You are iers "And you were very loud"

Oh, God, she had been She pressed her forehead into his shoulder, hiding her face "How can I ever face anyone here again?" she moaned "They saw --"

"I think you deserve a drink, don’t you?" He tucked an arm around her as he strolled her to the bar She really did love how he kept her so close to him, as if he was proud of her

"There" He tapped her cheek with a finger "All better Nohat can I get you to drink?"

"Of course, Master Z," the older woo with you," Jessica whispered to hieon, not if there’s trouble," he said, pushing her into a chair To her surprise, he hooked her hands together, then to a long chain on the floor, before giving her a hard kiss on the lanced at the women "Thank you, ladies"
