Chapter One

Cancer, oh, lord, she had cancer

Mari sobbed, letting her pain, her fear break free She’d been holding her worry inside for too long Now, she had an outlet

Her fla bottom had provided that

She stood in the corner of the living rooainst the wall, her hands on her head, her skirt tucked up to reveal her naked, red buttocks

And she sobbed Huge, loud sobs that rocked her very soul

Not because her butt hurt Well, it did But she’d had plenty of roasted bottoms in her time— none of them had ever caused a reaction like this

Cancer She had cancer

“Honey, calm down or you’ll make yourself sick”

Mari heard the worry in Dan’s voice Knew her husband ondering if he’d been too harsh with her But she couldn’t h to reassure him

“She’s still crying?” Jake, her other husband, asked as he entered the roos with less reaction What the hell is wrong, Mari?”
