We had to descend four or five steps, there being just enough light from the hall for us to see by and then she flicked a switch at the bottom of the ...stairs. Hidden lighting illuminated the room and what a room. There were photographs and drawings on the wall and even at a distance I could see several if not all were erotic. The floor covered in a deep red pile carpet and two low long couches were in black. In the centre of the room was what looked like a long narrow table but it was padded and. Lets go in Craig, I want to see what's going on". Craig said, "OK, just as long as you know what's happening", as he opened the door to let Nancy in. Nancy was startled when she saw Katie over Dan's lap with her bottom pink.

Looking up Katie saw Nancy and with a smile on her face said, "Nancy tell this big brute to quit spanking me, he's killing me. Ow, Dan,. "Yes. I understand." Please call me Millie though." And I am Greg. When people use the name Mr. Hammond I look around to see if my father has crept up without me knowing." She laughed at my attempt at humour."Will you be dining tonight?"

She knew she ought to be out courting some lover or other, wooing some male into her web so that he could take care of her most basic of needs; money, protection, and lust. But since the letter came of her son's disappearance in one of the most insane crusades to the surface she had ever heard, Leah had no passion for anything. She hungered for nothing, ate very little, and fed her broken heart on wine alone. Soon, this night, her head began to loll. The servants lining the walls as commanded.
