They were interrupted by Yvette herself."Laura... how great to see you!" Yvette bubbled, taking Laura's hand and turning her physically away from Chan...itra. "Gosh, it's so good to see you. Where've you been?" At work every day," Laura said, sarcastically."Oh, I guess I've been flying off so frequently to New York or Chicago that I just haven't had the time to stop by and visit." I guess that's what goes with success," Laura said flatly."We've got to talk." She drew Laura away from Chanitra.. ” “Fine. I,m sure with you looking after her she,ll be safe. Oh and by the way the circuit judge is due in Hudson on Friday. They,ll want you on the stand for prosecution witness. Okay?” “Sure. I want to see Blacker get what he deserves.” “Well. If I,d have caught him he,d have stretched my rope already, but with this territory looking for state hood we have to move with the times and the law has to be seen to be fair so the bastard will get his fair trial then hang for killing my boy!” Hank. He walked up from behind and placed his strong arms tenderly around her waist. She jumped a little then settled her head back on his chest as his chin rested on her collar bone."Good morning," he whispered softly in her ear,"Good morning, love," she returned.

For there, on the quarter deck, her face and exposed breasts and vast belly covered in crimson, lay our captain Miranda, gasping with what one had to take to be her last breaths in this world.I let out a scream of distress and raced to her, pushing aside her Nubian wench and others to embrace my beloved captain in her final moments. "Kiss me, Esme," she croaked, and I pressed my lips to hers in fond memories of the long hours we had spent in her cabin, exploring every Sapphic delight imaginable.
