You must not get ink on it.”Rose laboriously scratched out the words with the quill, which spattered her hands with black speckles. When she had fin...ished, The Beast explained what was wrong with her attempt and made her begin again. It took her several tries before she had completed her task to his satisfaction.“Good,” The Beast said, turning the page. “Now, turn to Chapter One.”The Beast kept up his patient yet insistent tuition until the clock struck four, in which time Rose managed to. In their culture people are accustomed to negotiating for everything, and it was hard for them to accept that prices in American stores are usually fixed. But with my help, they were able to negotiate better prices in even some of the major department stores, and that was a valuable lesson for me. It never hurts to ask for better prices. They were perfect gentlemen that night, but I still caught them staring at me from time to time.The next night we went out again, but that time they took me to. Just so you have this mental image, this room has large bay windows on three sides, I live on a gentlemen’s farm out in the country and I can see for miles and miles. That morning the sun is up, just above the horizon, and there is a yellow-orange glow in the room. Even when I’m on my own, I really enjoy this room, my favorite. So Kim comes to the room and before taking a sit in front of me, comes over and plans a very nice, warm, full lipped kiss. No tongue mind you, I’m having coffee, she’s. ‘It’s OK, Christine. I’m right here.’ ‘But, I’m so scared… I can’t sleep.’ There was a long silence. ‘Can you hold me a little like you did before?’ Does the sun come up in the morning?

She had had no appropriate nightclothes and ended up wearing the top to my new linen pajamas, wrapping her much smaller form in the tent-like expanse of the soft linen, being incredibly feminine and delectable in the process without.
