Her voice stopped him “Yeah?”

“Bye”

He walked back to her, bending down to give her a gentle kiss that was unlike any he had given her before “Bye, vixen”

With a wink, he was gone

When Rachel sighed, Mag’s laughter startled her

“Girl, you got it bad”

“No, I don’t” Rachel began to deny the truth, but Mag was already shaking her head

“I’ve already been where you are Keep the fight up until you have him exactly where you want him”

She picked up her scissors “So, you want me to take off a couple of inches?” She held the scissors poised

“I want it all off,” Rachel told her

“Are you sure?” Sex Piston asked her doubtfully “Are you going to cry and threaten to sue me if I do?”

“No” Rachel looked Sex Piston directly in the eyes “When you get done with me, I want to look and feel sexy”

“You think ood?”

“I think you’re that good,” Rachel agreed

“You’re right about that” Sex Piston pulled Rachel’s hair back into a large pony tail then lifted the end into the air “You sure?”

Both women looked at her in pity

“I wouldn’t touch that fucker again if he begged me,” Killyama snorted
